Biblical Information Showing Way to Achaeological Findings BT ELIAV SIMON UP Staff Correspondent Jersusalem (U.R) Archaeolo gists are making use of an au thoritative guidebook, the Bible, in their search for evidence of past civilizations in the Near East. It has led more than one dig ger to put his shovel down at the right spot The Bible's reference to cop per mines in the region between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Akaba led to the discovery of King Solomon's copper mines. They have been reopened and are being worked again for ore. Archaeologists have unearth ed 225 sites of ancient habitation in the desert country called the Negev. They were led to search there by chapters 12 and 14 of the Book of Genesis, which told them the area was not always a wilderness but was thriving vith people in the time of Abra ham. Professor Nelson Glueck. an American archaeologist, believes he has proved the correctness of a story in Genesis 14 about a rebellion of a number of kings against the ruler Chedcrlaomer. By tracing a chain of destroy ed cities from southern Syria r to the central Negev, Glueck showed them to be the remains of a civilization wiped out in Abraham's day. Excavations now going on at Hamat Rachel on Israeli Jerusa lem's southern border have brought to light a fortress cov ering an acre and a quarter of land. The fortress dates back to the ninth or tenth century B.C. Seal impressions found on jar handles dug up at this site cor roborate descriptions found in the Old Testament. The seals show winged scrolls such as those which served as the per sonal symbol of the old kings of Judah. Scholars also are learning more about the early spread of Christianity in the Holy Land. When some settlers moved into a house on the Lebanese border and started clearing a pile of filth off the floor, they uncov ered a colored Mosaic design. It turned out they had stum bled on the remains of a fifth century church. Throughout Israel there is a new interest in looking for relics of ancient times. Prac tically anyone who has been to school regards himself as an ex pert in archaeology, possibly be cause there is so much empha sis on biblical studies in Israeli schools. Many families have their pri vate archaeological museums. These are collections of statu ettes, arrow and lance heads, pieces of pottery, old coins and pieces of mosaic which members Dedication of Bridge To Honor Ex-Ferryman Pendleton (U.R) William H.

Down Five Per Cenf Chicago Crane Co. sales during 1954 were the fourth highest in the company's 100 year history, according to John L. Holloway, president. Total net sales of all Crane Co.'s U.S and Canadian operations were 5229,791,010 as compared with $315,677,790 m 19o3 a de crease of five per cent. Net earnings including divi dends from the company's Eng lish subsidiary totaled $5,807,906 or $2.25 per comman share. This compares with 1953 net earn ings of $8,703,262 or $3.47 per common share. "The company is now in a much better competitive posi tion than a year ago," Mr. Hollo way said, "and if the present out look for construction during 1955 is maintained operations should reflect a marked improvement in earning for this current year. In view of the progress being made with titanium and the various mining and minerals operations, together with further product development under way, the longer term outlook appears very good." Federal, state and local taxes amounted to $7,415,896 or 127.7 per cent of net earnings after such taxes. These taxes repre sent $3.14 per common share or $379.16 per employee. The report shows that Crane Co. employed 19.559 persons compared with 19,665 a year ago. There are 21,054 sharehold ers, a gain of 152 over the pre ceding year.

Sally Rand Credits Success Career To Exercise, Lots of Detroit (U.R) Fan dancer Sally Rand, who readily admits to being "well over 50," today credited her successful show business career to "a few simple exercises and a lot of cold cream.

That was in 1932 33, but Miss Rand still doesn't look a day over umphty-three, even without her makeup. "I've heard women say they'd look good, too, 'with all that makeup,' " the dancer said in her little six-by-six foot dresisng room. "But I wear very little makeup, as you can easily see." Well Dressed for Number She also wore very little of anything else, for her number was next on the stage of De troit's 509 Club. "Any girl can look young for just oodles of years if she applies her makeup sparingly and in the right manner," Miss Rand con tinued. "There's really no secret about having a good complexion. Look" Suddenly she dipped three fingers into a jar of inexpensive cold cream and smeared the goo in the palm of her left hand. "The big thing to remember is to have the cleaning cream at skin temperature before touch ing your face with it." It's the Cream That Counts She patted the cream onto the cheeks, smoothed it out evenly with her fingertips and wiped her face with a clean towel. Her skin was as flawless as a new born baby's. To keep a trim figure she re sorts to a few simple "sitting up" exercises. But when she's at home with her husband and children in Las Vegas, Nev., tending her flower garden is all the exercise she needs. "I've been in show business for more than 30 years," she said. "And now people keep ask ing me when I'm going to re- of Stage Cold Cream tire." Judging by the applause she got when she dropped her last fan, she may be good for another 30.
