'Bathtub Murder'
Said Uncovered
By Archeologist
New York . (UPD-An Ameri
can archeologist has returned
from his diggings in Jordan
and reported that he had un
covered a "bathtub murder"
that took place in about 720
B.C.
Dr. Joseph Free, head of
the department of archeology
at Wheaton (111.) college, said
he came across a pottery bath
tub containing a skull and
bones, all jumbled together,
in his excavations at the an
cient city of Tel Dorthan near
Jerusalem.
"It appeared to be a bath
tub murder," Free said. "At
least the gentleman was pret
ty well scrambled. It's likely
he was an Assyrian overlord
whom the Palestinians didn't
like. -
"'We found him 'right in the
city which is unusual," Free
said. "Normally bodies are
buried outside because they
were believed to be unclean.
It's a sort of ancient whodun
it." Free arrived here aboard
the liner Independence with
his wife Ruby, two children,
David, 8, and Anita, 10. He
had - spent four and a half
months digging in the ruins
with a staff of nine from
Wheaton college.
Souvenirs of Digging
Free said the pottery of the
bathtub indicated the man
died around 720 B.C., when
the Asyrians had conquered
Palestine and were ruling the
country.
Free and his son returned
with souvenirs of their dig
ging. David carried a 700-vear-old
skull and some arm
Snd leg bones dating from the
Crusades.
Free brought a 3,000 year
old tax jar, one of 96 he
found near the ancient equiv
alent of the internal revenue
service headquarters. Many of
the jars, which were used to
collect taxes in the form of
commodities, had grain and
olive pits left in them, be
said. The tax jars were dated
at about 950 B.C. in the time
of King Solomon, he said.
Free also supervised the
shipping of six crates of an
cient lamps, cups, bones and
skulls to Wheaton.

Small Worlds
Around Us

Flowers Used to Keep
Time, but They're Erratic
Men measured time by the
blossoming of plants, many
hundreds of years before the
Egyptians made the first cal
endar. Many primitive people
still use this old method of
keeping tab on the passing of
time.
In fact even we, today, have
festivals and holidays that fall
during the blossoming, or
fruiting of plants, and have
little or no bearing on the
sheets of paper that are num
bered for the days of the
month, and are called calen
dars. All plants have a definite
time for blossoming. Primitive
man probably considered this
supernatural; the time of blos
soming occurring at the same
time year after year, became
noticeable , and fixed in his
mind and eventually became
a period of religious festivals
tulip festivals, rose festivals
and cherry blossom festivals,
all of which are modern ver
sions of old customs that per
sisted for many generations.
Many had their original incep
tion in religious observances.
Moon Time
The early American Indians
measured time by the moon
and had one period of the year
called the "sore-eye-moon."
This came in the fall when
the acid smoke from burning
leaves caused their eyes to be
come irritated and infected.
Following the real harvest
moon when the crops were
harvested and the people
feasted. During the winter
came also the hunting moon,
and later the most dreaded
time of their year the hung
er - moon.
But modern plant experi
menters have discovered and
developed many varities of
plants that render a calendar
useless and blossom continu
ously throughout the year.
Some of them have been per
fected to the point where they
literally blossom themselves
into uttter exhaustion.
Now, if we use the blos
soming period of plants for
a time interval, we take into
consideration the kind of
plant we are dealing with and
Local Woman Jailed
On Forgery Charge
Delia Louise Iholts, 20, of
401 East 12th st., Medford,
was arrested here Sunday on
a charge of forgery and lodg
ed in Jackson county jail,
Medford police reported.
Her arrest was in connec
tion with .signing and cashing
traveler's checks Sunday at
several markets in Medford
and Phoenix. Police said the
checks were reported stolen
Saturday from an automobile
in Fogarty creek State park
near Newport. Four women's
purses containing checks,
cash, credit cards and other
items were reported taken in
the theft.
Police were investigating
how the checks came into
Mrs. Iholts' possession.
adjust our floral calendar ac
cordingly. Consistent
Nature is pretty consistent
in her wild children, that
grow in an environment of
their choice. They can be, de
pended upon to blossom at the
proper time every year. All
that is necessary is to know
what plant is supposed to blos
som at what time.
The goldenrod always is in
blossom in September. But
the funny snake plant may
blossom only once in three
years.
The poinsettia blossoms at
Christmas time and the crazy
bamboo may only blossom
once in 30 years, or perhaps
a single time in the entire life
of the plant.
" The ancients who depended
upon such erratic actors as
these wouldn't know whether
they were coming or going, or
what festival or occasion they
were celebrating.

Furnace Repair
Schemes Told by
C of C Manager
The furnace repair racket
is one of the most vicious and
costly schemes of the day,
warns Don McNeil, manager
of the Jackson County Cham
ber of Commerce.
Even cautious homeowners
may be swindled, he says, un
less they are aware of the de
ceitful tricks used by furnace
repair gyps who solicit jobs
during the heating off-season.
McNeil warns further that:
"Despite frequent exposure,
the furnace repair scheme
continues to mulct home
owners all over the nation.
Actually, this scheme can
alert homeowner.
"Here's how it is usually
worked. A man may ring the
door bell and say he is a
furnace 'inspector' and ask
access to the basement. If
given permission, he general
ly makes a short inspection
and says he will have an
'engineer call to .look at it.
Dismantles Furnace
"When th 'engineer calls,
he dismantles the furnace, in
part, and then calls the house
wife. He says the furnace is
cracked, or in such terrible
condition as to endanger life
and limb if used again.
"After thoroughly scaring
the housewife, he uses high
pressure selling to induce her
to sign a contract for a new
and frequently over-priced in
stallation. "If anyone tries to use this
technique on you, beware!
Any official inspector will be
glad to show his credentials.
If a person posing as an in
spector has to admit that he
represents a furnace concern,
report the incident to the
Chamber of Commerce.
"Homeowners can avoid the
furnace repair scheme by hav
ing their servicing work done
by a concern of known reliability."
