...Glueck's finds indicate that the busy inhabitants of Solomon's port, besides carrying on sea trade, ship-building and fishing, smelted copper and manufactured such copper implements as spearheads, fishhooks, nails.

Dr. Glueck believes the necessity for such a natural draft was the reason this site was chosen for smelting...
...Samuel, still adamantine, died in 1929. Four years later the Samuel Memorial Committee obeyed the first provision of Mrs. Samuel's will by holding a world competition for sculpture-to be grouped in three terraces designed by Philadelphia's smartest architect, Paul Philippe Cret.

Those who still have jobs are getting lighter pay envelopes than a year ago, although most hourly rates are unchanged since against union resistance it is easier to cut hours than rates. As usual in depressions, payrolls have dropped faster than jobs. In a year, the Labor Department's index of factory employment...
...police: " 'Give us this day our daily bread' is not a figure of speech. . . . What some of us who are called radical are trying to do is to answer that call in His name as He would have us do. That, gentlemen, is why the fight is still on. Christ knew that the symbol of the Cross He died on would be an everlasting reminder to the entire world that the people of the world should have their daily bread...
