U EXPEDITIONS TO SEEK RELICS IN PALESTINE \ Pick of Excavator to Dig in Many Parts of Holy Land. Cy United Press JERUSALEM. May 25.—The pick of the excavator will penetrate the surface of the present in search of relics of the past in many parts of Palestine this spring and summer. Archeologists will be busy from Dan in the north to Beersheba in the south. Fourteen expeditions, representing America. Great Britain. France. Germany, Italy. Austria and Denmark have made their plans to be in the field soon. Archaeological research in the Bible lands has received great impetus by the gift of $2,000,000 from John D. Rockefeller. Jr., for an archaeological museum to be built and equipped in Jerusalem by 1930. The present museum consist of rented rooms which are too small to house properly the many historical objects unearthed. Spurred by New Museum The government is not in a position to care properly for its share of the relics, which is one-half of all the objects found. The new museum, efficiently equipped and properly endowed, will make JeruI salem the center for archaeological jwork in the Middle East. I The program for this spring and summer therefore is unusually extensive, Among the sites for important work will be the remains of the City of David, the tomb of < Jehosophat, the site of Mamre, the ' city of Kirjath-Sepher, the remains of Mizpah, and excavations at Shechem, near Nablous, and at Beisan, in Galilqe. Work will be carried on at Tiberias, and an ancient synagogue, believed to be the one in which Christ taught, is being built at Tell Hum, the site of ancient Capernaum. Reconstruct Ancient City Professor Macalister expects to continue with the reconstruction of the plan of the ancient city of Jerusalem. His discoveries in uncovering the remains of the City of David prove that the present Jerusalem is some distance from the site of the Bible city. He believes that the major part of the ancient city was located to the southwest of the present Jerusalem. The Hebrew University will give Its attention to the examination of the caves and caverns near the Holy City and in the Jordan Valley. Father Evarsite Mader,i of Germany, is expected to continue his work near Hebron, where he believes Abraham was encamped when he was informed by heavenly messengers that his wife Sarah would bear him a son.

FIND ANCIENT ROME HAD GLASS WINDOWS Panes in General Use at of Empire. By Science Service BERLIN, May 25.—Glass windows are not the relatively modern things they are commonly reputed to be. According to Dr. M. Blaschke, a German ceramic chemist, they were in use in ancient Rome. Most of the panes did not exceed 12 by 16 Inches in size, though a few larger ones have been found. Glass-making, known for many centuries in Egypt, came to Rome relatively late. During the time of Cicero, who died in 43 B. C., glass objects of any kind were rarities, and glass windows were unknown. A hundred years later most households owned some, and by the time the Empire was well established glass was fairly common. The famous mosaics of the later Empire, notably at Ravenna and Constantinople, were made largely out of bits of glass. MORE SEWERS URGED Extension Program Is Advocated to Real Estate Board. “Indianapolis has grown so much more rapidly than was expected that a large sewer construction extension program is sorely needed,” City Engineer A. H. Moore told members of the Real Estate Board Thursday at the Chamber of Commerce. He also discussed plans for the city removing pollution from White River to Broad Ripple and went into some detail on plans for resurfacing and widening a number of streets, explaining costs and financing methods.

Great Britain is the greatest foreign consumer of American gum followed by the Netherlands, Mexico and the Phillipines. Japan last year consumed $50,000 worth; China took $30,000 and Siam is credited with nearly $1,500 of gum imports. Bishop to Dedicate School By Times Special HUNTINGTON, Ind., May 25.
