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

Sales By Crane Co.
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.

blond zoomed to world-wide at
tention with a bubble dance act
in the days of the Chicago
World's Fair. 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-

Judging by the applause she
got when she dropped her last
fan, she may be good for another
30.
