to attend the Modern Ameri-
can Art Exhibit. He was
accompanied immediately to
Harper Hospital by Mrs.
Franklin.

Discovery of Crucifixion Witness'
Story in Tomb Is Declared False
NEW YORK (JPS)—The Brit-
iih Information Service, in a
bulletin issued here, describes as
false, reports that a tomb re-
cently uncovered near Jerus-
alem- contains. a ,contemporarY
eye • witness account of Christ's
crucifixion. -
The tomb was discovered by
Prof. E. L. Sukenik, director of
the Museum of Jewish Antiqui-
ties,- of the Hebrew University
in Jerusalem, and according to
Robert Hamilton, director of the
Palestine Government Depart-
ment of Antiquities.
The British bulletin features
the report of Jack Lawton,
Cairo correspondent for the
British Broadcasting Co., who
was reportedly -taken on a tour
of the tomb by Dr. Sukenik.
"The tomb seems to be a
-normal Jewish family tomb of
the type usually - found in and
around Jerusalerri and generally
attributed to tlie' first century
B. C. or A. D.," Lawton reports.
"Nothing in the tomb is un-
usual except thk one of the
ossuaries bore on each of its
four side§ a cross drawn in
charcoal. Furthermore, on one
side there was scratched the
name 'Jesus,' in Greek letters,
followed by a word which, in.
ancient Greek, is used as an,
exclamation of sorrow. This be-
ing the case, we have the earli-
est Christian tomb which has
come to light in modern times,"
Lawton says/

ADVANTAGES OF THE
•ELECTRIC RANGE
Clean, controlled heat expresses
quickly the advantages of an 'elec-
tric range. The‘ surface burners
have several heat units from "sim-
mer" to "high" that provide just
the right heat for whatever dish is
being cooked. The heat comes di-
rectly to the bottom of the utensil
and as clean as sunlight. In the
oven, a control regulates the heat
to an exact temperature and main-
tains it. An electric timer can be
provided to turn off the current at
a pre-set time, thus letting the
housewife forget all about the
oven. The broiter grills meats to a
perfect turn, and the deep well
cooker is ideal for long, slow cook-
ing, such as soups, cereals or stews.
"It's a pleasure for a dealer to furnish a
house with an all-electric kitchen—for it
makes the house into a home. The electric
kitchen cuts down the housewife's time in
the kitchen . . . and .gives a thrill to the
work she does there. The electric range
gives uniform results . . . provides auto-
matic operation, cutting down the amount
of attention necessary. Electric cookery is
the modern way . . . convenient . . . clean
. . . reliable. People have come to feel
about it the way they do about electric
refrigeration — that it is the only way. The
electric dishwasher, too, has proved itself
in thousands of homes as a time and labor
saver. I've sold many and never had one
returned. They normally save the housewife
a total of about a day's work every m9nth.
. . . People are not so familiar with the
operation of the garbage disposal unit in
the sink drain. The convenience of throw-
ing waste right into the sink and washing
it away cannot be appreciated until used.
And the modern housewife also gets the
multiple assistance of all the smaller elec-
tric helpers — mixer, juicer, percolator,
toaster and others.. I can't think of any in-
vestment that goes farther toward making
a house a real home than an electric kitchen."
