 This date is corroborated by the large number of potsherds of this period. several hundred in all. found buried in . deep hole in neishbor- ing rocks-
 Some distance north . fine cistern was constructed in the space be- tween the clifY and the city wall. The walls of this cisterp are built in wholly different style, the bond used being one which was intro duced after the time of the king dom and persisted into the Greek period. This cistern may, therefore. have been constructed in the time of Nehemiah.
 On top of the ridge the expedition found three or four mosaic floors be- longing to houses which abutted on the street. Beneath the rock surface a number of subterranean chambers have been cleared. Several of these were cut as cisterns, but the most interesting group is a series of con- nected chambers which were appar- ently cut for some other purpose.
 It would be premature to specu- late about this purpose. but there is the possibility that the rooms may have been excavated originally to serve as tombs.

RUINS UNCOVERED
 0F ANCIENT CITY
Relics Found Indicate Place May
 Have Been David

Jerusalem, Dec. 14P)-A section of the ridge of Ophel near Jerusa- lem. where inc city of David stood. has been vared by recent excava- tions and reveals a type of masonry dating back 10 Hebrew Kings men, toned in the Bible.
 The excavations were made by J. w. Crowfoo., director of the British school of archaeology in Jerusalem, and Dr. r. l.. Sukenik of the Hebrew university. It is known as the eXpedi- tion of the Palestine Exploration fund and is supported by Sir Charles Mairon.
 The Cliff of ophel, which marks the true beginning of the Tyro- poeon valley, mentioned by Jose phus, lies about 10 feet east of the modern pathway.
 In one place, at the northwest end of the present excavation, the natural face of the cliff has been left uncut by men. The old city gate and towers which were found in 1927 stood on a broad ledge be- low the cliff. and small section of the old city wall has been dis covered this season further south in a similar position.
 In this section the stones are bonded in method which is known from other sites to have been char acteristic of the period of the He brew monarchy. and there seems to

DIS1ILL COAL FOR
 SYNTHETIC FIELDS
Pnpl Ssd Mill Answering Call
 From Many Markets

New York. Dec. II R-Raw mate rials for synthetic pipe stems. um- brella handles or cue balls. and for synthetic anti-knock gasoline are to be manufactured at a Pennsylvania steel mill. Synthetic furniture is predicted as d future development
 The announcement revealing this large-scale entry of a steel business into the by-products field comes from Coatsville. Pa, where the Luk- ens Steel company has ordered a large, low-temperature coal distil- iation plant. the first to be installed by an American steel mill.
 This kind of coal distillation is new in the United States. One of it's outstanding differences from ether coal processes is that it pro- duces about two and a half times the amount of tars from which syn thetic resins are made
 Chemistry has created a new ser ies of articles of daily use from these resins. They include brilliantly col ored pencils and pens, tiling for bathrooms brightly colored tops and stoppers for all sorts Of tubes and bottles, a large variety of radio parts and scores of electrical insulations for automobiles.
 Dr. Walter Runge of the lnterna- iional Coal Carbonization company, which is installing the dstillation plant, says it does not require an eXtravagant imagination to picture the manufacture Of furniture, wains- coting and ornamental building ma terial from coal tar.
 Prediction that coal tars would provide materials for making outer walls of buildings in rainbow Colors Was made before the international confetI nee on hituminous coal in FittslA.gh in November.
 The gasoline made as d by prod uct from the low temperature dis tlllation of coal is said to contain 60 per cent more anti-knock quail ties than that from other processes. It is sold for mixing with some pc troleum gasolines.
 The Lukens plant, for which ground will be broken early in 1929, will be built to distill 560 tons Of bltuninous coal daily.

 FACES t-M YEARS
Shaver of Paramour and Hushald's 5 Pal. Will Receive Long
 Prison Stretch.

New York. Dec IA R-Mrs. Mar lyse Nave, French war bride. today faced a prison sentence of from one to twenty years for the slaying of her paramour and her husbands pal, Andrew Devola.
 She was convicted yesterday of manslaughter in the first degree. The state had asked for the death penalty.
 The French girl whose legs be- came paralyzed after the shooting in her Bronx apartment during which Devola received seven bullet wounds in his body and she one be- low the heart. became hysterical after hearing the verdict and was removed to Fordham hospital. She will be sentenced Monday.
 The state contended she killed De- vola because he was tiring Of her and then shot herself. Her defense was that a third party entered the apartment and shot both of them. Her husband. who was invalided home from France. is patient at sanitarum and had asked Devola. his friend. to look out for her.

Sitting out in the warm sun made

gentleman fell asleep. He did not
have far to fall for he was quite
sleepy when he went out on the
porch. Nurse Jane and Mrs. Longears
went down town to buy new gold
can opener at the six and seven cent
store and that left the bunny gem
tleman home alone. And pretty soon,
as Uncle Wiggily slept, along came
the Fox.

Seek Government
Supervision Over
Valley Hay Crop

AS secretary of the Associated
Chamers of Commerce of Imperial
county, Robert Hays has addressed
4 letter to G. II. Hcckc, director of
the state department of agriculture,
wherein is urged the adoption of
federal hay standards in this state,
and5 placing federal hay graders in
San DIEGO and Los Angeles rs carly
as possible, and certainly in time
for the first spring shipments of
hay.
Farm Bureau officials, who favor
the measure, feel that such a system
of government inspection and grad
ing will result in Imperial valley
hay bringing 81 to 81 per ton more
than at present. Imperial valley,
under present improved methods of
cutting, curing and baling, is of the
highest class, and growers here feel
that it is entitled to top market
prices. Hay inspection and the es-
tablishment of official standards
has been productive of much good
in other hay producing sections,
and. should be favored, say farm
bureau officials and attaches of the
state department of agriculture. by
every grower, dealer and hay con
sumer. The farm bureau, civic
bodies and eomercial organizations
intend to take a vigorous stand and
keep at it until federal standards
are adopted in Southern California
and an inspection service provided.
Alfalfa is one of Imperial valley 5
most important crops, there being
nearly $4,000 acres seeded, which
is more than one-half of the total
acreage here devoted to field crops.
Alfalfa is California : most impor-
tant crop as well, leading all others
in this state.

Preventing Mine Explosions

Twenty-one miners were killed this week in an
explosion presumably due to gas, in mine at West
Frankfort Ill.
The cause of the explosion, dispatches say has not
been determined.
1t is not known if the mine rock-dusted to
prevent explosions, since mine officials declined to
discuss the disaster.
However, this accident calls attention to the sub
ect of mine safety and the testimony recently given
before the House Appropriations Committee by Scott
Turner director Of the Bureau OF Mines Of the De-
partment Of Interior. Said Mr. Turner:
1--WE have at Bruceton the only coal mine in the
world owned by the Government and used exclu-
sively for experimental purposes.
1.-THE most important thing we ever worked on
there, and that still working on, is the eX-
possibility of coal dust comparatively few years
ago in this country little or no attention was paid
to the danger of fine coal dust in the air and on
exposed surfaces in mines. Our investigation in the
experimental mine developed the fact that coal dust
suspended in the air is just about explosive an
equal quantity of black blasting powder.
IAN interesting feature is the method of stopping
the explosion, which is done by rock dusting the
advance in preventing widespread explosions in btu
minouS coal mines of this country.
"The rock dust is distributed the floor and on
the ribs and tibers Of the mine At certain intervals
in the entry boards troughs supported by trap
ping Devices so that they will be tripped when the
explosion reaches them; all these are loaded with
fine rock dust. With rock dust we can stop the ex-
plosion anywhere like and, if the mine is prcoerly
rock busted to begin with, no major expla han
