Citrus RAISING IS EX-
PANDINC IN HOLY
LAND

Jaffa, Pales inc, December 16.-
(AP)-American tourists in the
Holy Land can now have their
grapefruit for breakfast every
morning.
The rapid expansion of the citrus
industry in this country with the
last few years has brought grape
fruit 10 the fore.
Sons of Jewish colonists sent to
complete their training in Califor-
mia have doomed the citrus in
dustry. There is a strong tendency
to adopt California growing meth
DDS, since there is much similarity
between conditions here and in that
part of the United States.
Hitherto the Holy Land has had
bua a small output of grapefruit.
1t has not exceeded 10000 cases
this year, but the quantity will in
crease yearly, since new areas con-
stantly are being put into cult
walton.
The union grape Fruit growers
expresses hope that the market
soon will expand-thanks to the
American tourists, who make their
annual pilgrimage to the Old World
and insist upon having grapefruit
served with their breakfast.

bringing with him Farrell, Deputy
Clarence Wycko1f, Constable f. B.
Grill, Eddy Chalmers and Charles
Roberts. Armed with shovels, they
attacked the spot where Steinberg
said the well had been.
At dusk they had dug down six
feet, and there they found unmis-
taxable evidence the earth had been
freshly disturbed. Unrusted pieces
Of iron, bits of automobile tires and
tin cans showed that anything and
everything had been used to fill in
a hole.
Find Mans Foot.
They again attacked the Job the
next morning. Down and down they
went. Chalmers and Roberts were
at the bottom of the hole, while
McGrath and Farrell were at the
top lifting out the earth. Suddenly
came a shout from the bottom:
We've found a mans foot %
The two diggers were just 26 feet
in the earth.
Come up a minute" ordered Nc
Grath. When the two men-gladly
enough-had arrived at the surface
McGrath went to the ranch house
and placed Woodring and Mrs.
RoderiCk under arrest. Then they
returned to the well.
1t was eight o'clock-past dusk
when the body had finally been
freed from the soil and brought
to the surface. 1t was that Of
Roderick. 1t was plain enough how
he had come to his death. A heavy
blow from a bludgeon had crushed
his skull from the back.
He wasn't dressed in his ''StOre
Clothes" as his wife had said. He
was wearing his oyeralls and rough
shirt and shoes. There wasn't any
$500 in his pocket, and the "red
headed gal' also remained a mys-
terry.
Questioned Long Hours.
Sheriff NcGrath took the body to
Redwood City for a postmortem in
vestigation. In another car came
Woodring and Mrs. Roderick, guard
ed by the guns Of the deputies. In
a third car rode Mr.. and Mrs f. e.
Anderson, neighbors of the Roder-
icks, who volunteered to take care
Of little Filbert, the boy rustler, and
his six-year-Old brother, Donald, un-
til the children could be turned over
to their grandfather, John Fayall,
Redwood City rancher, at whose
home Roderick courted and won
Minnie Fayall.
There was no charge placed
against Mrs. Roderick and Wood
ring at the county Jail. Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Richard Bell and Ed
mund Scott questioned them into
the small hours in the morning,
but volunteered no information as
TO what their inquiries had dis

ICE CREAM SALES
 POOR IN ENGLAND
Brtons Eat Less Than Quart
 a Piece in 12 Months

London, England, Sept. 1e (UP) -Forty-two million Britons eat less than 1e,Ooo.ooo gallons of ice cream annually. The average consump- ton per capita is less than quart every l2 months
 Hhese figures. given to the United Press by the office of the American Commercial Attache fol- lowing two months survey, show that the average American con- sumes from 40 to 50 times the amount of ice cream that Briton does. By virtue of this ratio it is estimated that the American eats ice cream from 30 to 40 times more frequently than the Briton, since British portions are generally smaller.
 The 1O,O0o,ooo. gallons of ice cream manufactured yearly in Great Britain include frozen fruit juices. frozen ice cream powder and water ices and real ice cream.
 Ice cream made in Great Britain contains from to 10 per cent fat content as contrasted to the 12 to IS per cent found in American made ice cream. British-made ice cream contains no corn starch, but as whole. less sugar and eggs are used than in the American made food.
 The ice cream season in Great Britain opens about the first of |, June and continues until the mid dle of September. During this short season tea rooms, cafes, and restaurants hang small placards in windows advertising ices.
 Vanilla and strawberry are prac- tically the only two flavors manu- factured. Pineapple, lime, lemon, grape, raspberry, tutti-fruiti fruit pudding and orange ice are un- heard of.
 Chocolate banana nut chocolate malt, maple nut, peach and cherry ice creams are not, made, unless by special order
 Small scoops are the common measures used. Iced drinks seldom gre seen with float for the crest Of the drink. nor are ice cream cones popular. Common mixers for milk shakes are sometimes seen. but rarely. {.
 One large eating house just off Piccadilly Circus serves ice cream the yeat-around, but during a ma jority of the months a gallon ice cream can filled with cubes, similar in size and make to the American bricks, lasts two weeks despite the fact that more than 1000 people are served daily by the eating house.
 Manufacturers of ice cream gen. erally make the frozen dainties as side line. often allowing ice cream machinery to stand idle dur ing a major portion of the year. Advertising of ice cream is seldom conducted and little knowledge about the food values, both winter and summer, of ice cream is known.
 There is not single ice cream parlor in all Great Britain, that is, not a single establishment run only to serve customers with Ice cream. Wherever ices are obtained, they are merely a side line.

depicted story of

PUT the great find is the mosaic floor. This
~ tells a colorful story of orthodox piety and
faithfuness to Jewish history, tempered with
q cheerful eclecticism that did not refuse q
bit of decoration that savored OF the Greek,
SO long as 1t did not introduce the hated and
dreaded worship of idols.
There is also q curious contrast between tho
taste of the workers in selecting their stones
and their technical skill in working out their
pictures and designs. For the bits of stone
that are wrought into the figured floor are
astonishingly assorted, showing less than
% nuances of color. But the figures them-
selves are astonishingly, childishly naive, even
crude. The faces on the human figures are ale
most duplicates of the efforts Of early Amer
lean tombstone sculptors and the drawing OK
their limbs and those of the animals Is rerai-
niscent of that in children's sketch books.
But, regardless of their lack of skill, the
father and son who laid the mosaics had their
Bible history straight and they also faithfully
portrayed the various objects used in the
ancient Jewish ritual; the ark, the perpetual
lamp, the shofar, or rams horn trumpet, the
lulab. or palm branch. the etrog. or citron used
at the feast of the tabernacleS.

ranged for careful and complete excavation ct
once, though the season was unfavorable, so
that the colonists might be able TO finish their
irrigation ditch. II.
When at last DR.. Sukenik's workmen had laid
the whole ruin bare, he had the ground plan
of the ancient synagogue in fun, and the in
teresting mosaic pavement in a remarkably
well preserved condition. The building had
been in some respects typical of the synagogues
of that time in Palestine; in others, it intro
duced new features.
The main portion had been divided into three
nayes by rows of pillars, the ground floor re-
served for the men, with q gallery for the
woman worshipers. The three entrances
tomary in synagogues were at the wrong" end
of the building however; they were on the
north end instead Of on the side nearest Jerusa-
lem, which in this instance happened to be
the south. Furthermore, they did not open
directly into the synagogue itself, but into q
transverse anteroom known as a narthex typi-
cal Of early Christian churches, but hitherto
unknown In synagogues of that period. AM
other departure was the erection Of an apse, or
projecting end, in which stood the ark which
always faces toward the temple at Jerusalem.
This again is more characteristic OF Christian
than Of Jewish places OF Worship. There were
stone benches around three walls, where the
people sat during prayers.
