the children of Israel one of tho
longest detours on record.
, Instead of taking the direct road
out of Sue;; across the desert to the
promised land,- they took a side

Modern detours may seem long:
the weary Israelites spent 40 years
reaching their destination.
Tho proposal to build a Beershe-ba-Suoz
road is revolutionary, the
Natioinl Geographic society points
out. It flouts the custom of cen
turies. It threatens to discard one
of tho oldest things known to man.
Such a highway promises to pcrap
the ancient caravan roulo between
Syria and Egypt. Habylonians, As

south end of the Suez Canal, the

study tiio signs. "Beersheba, 115

Up stark hills and down Into bar

Watch the automobile sections
of the Sunday papers for tho an

"The opening of the Suez-Boer-sheba
road offers a new tour for
tho family through a region of
many historical associations. With
steady driving Jerusalem can bo
reached from Cairo in two days.
The distance is 425 miles. All cars
