:the best known men and Women of
:tho l‘nited States.

Scommending participation in the
Ecoming home demonstrations.

The Better Homes movement is

‘ :now in the third year of its exist-

The move-
:mOnt had so developed by last year
”'that the number or demonstrations
an. approximately doubled in 1923.
.As it became increasingly evident

importance in the education of the

mdons than ever before will be

held under this new arrangement. .
2 The type of demonstratbn to be
invent in each community, is deter-
mined by the local committee ap-
fipointed by the demonstration chair-
:mn. In the usual well-balanced
! form of demonstration a. house is
ébullt or bought or borrowed. its gar-
,den is started and its grounds beau-
stbcautided, and the house itself is
guuipped, furnished and decanted
in accordance with regulations of
convenience, comfort and beauty.
During Better Homes Week it
throWn open to the public. A com-
... mittee of hostesses is on hand to ex-
,plsin the reasons for the house plan.
gm for its equipment, furnishings
and decorations. Special exhibitions
are given of special features, such as
the unusually convenient Qkitchen,
tho modern nursery, the particularly
attractive garden. and so no. Pro-
dealing with various phases
of home betterment are given at the

BELIEVE BIBLE
WICKED CITIES
UNBEBBEB SEA

Sodom and Gomorrah
May Never Be Un-
earthed Says Search-
ing Scientist

ST. LOUIS. May G—Evidence of
the existence of a Canaanits civil-
ization of the early bronze age. dat-
ing about the twentieth century B.
C., has been found by the Xenia
expedition in a tour of the Dead Sea
region of Palestine. Dr. Melvin G.
Kyle, head of the party. said in a
letter received here.

Dr. Kyle, who is president of
Xenia Seminary here, declared his
explorations also had tended to con-
firm the judgment of earlier investl~
gators that the two cities or Sodom
and Gomorrah. which, according to
Biblical accounts were destroyed by
fire and brimstonc. are buried be-
neath the Dead Sea beyond the pow-
er ot men to discover them.

Pottery found in the graves open-
ed by Arab treasure hunters in the
region. Dr. Kyle's letter said. shows
conclusively the existence of 7 the
early Canaanite civilization. lie.
characterized it as s. “pro-Moabitel
civilization." pointing out that "Lot ':
was the father of Moab."

"This is a necessary first link in
the evidence we desire," the letter
continued, “for the Bible represents
just such I. civilization as being
here in the days of Sodom and Go-
morrah. Moreover, there follows
just here one or those expressive
silences in Bible history.

“The destruction of the Cities of
the Plain put. out that civilization
as suddenly and complete as one
snuffs out a candle. Never again
is any mention made or hint given
or implied of a. civilization in this
plain after the Lord destroyed So—
dom and Gomorrah. This is exact-
ly what our researches have re-
vealed. Thus, what seemed only
negative evidence becomes a. posit-
lve evidence on the subject. The
next civilization that appears in By-
zantine. which comes more than
“2,000 years later."

Although suggestions have been
made that divers be sent. down into
the Dead Sea to recover something
from the two cities beneath its sur-
face, Dr. Kyle scouts the idea. de-
claring the rushing waters of small
rivers have brought down alluvial
deposits that have been filling the
bottom or the sea. making the work
of divers exceedingly difficult, if not
impouible,
