THE GAME OF DRAU0HTS.

SO Old That It's Origin IL Lost I'm the
Mists of Antiquity.
Draughts In some shape or form Ia
doubtless very ancient pastime. In
deed, the safest thing to say about it ID
that its origin Is lost in the mists Of an
tiquity. Representations Of persons
playing at game resembling draughti
are frequently found on ancient Egyp
tan monuments at least 5000 year,
old. The Greeks had a similar game
from whom possibly 1t passed to the
Romans. At least the old Roman game
Of latrunculi seems to have been kind
of draughts, though it is doubtful If the
game as now played is very ancient
The game was popular and well known
In France and Spain In the seventeenth
century and was probably played there
and In England centuries before that
That 1t was from France the game
came into many Of the other countries
Is evident from the fact that the French
name-jeu de dames-passed with it
Dam or damme was once the regular
English name for one of the pieces. In
Germany the game is still called dame
spiel, in Holland the board is dambord
and in Scotland dambrod still survives
In the United States the less usual
name of chequers, spelled checkers, Ii
employed. Polish, Spanish, Italian and
Turkish draughts are varieties Of the
same game The Polish game, which
has several peculiarities, was intro
duced in Paris in 1928 and was at first
played on a board of 100 squares with
40 men.-Chambers Journal.

BURLINGTON COUNTY shows good spirit
of enterprise in highway improvement
The Board Of Freeholders has approved
specifications for more than twenty-five
miles Of new stone road in the county,
the most important of which Is road nine
miles long connecting Burlington City and
Bordentown. Burlington County lies near
to Philadelphia, and towns in Burlington
are quickly reached by trains from that
city. There is a growing taste among
well-to-do Philadelphians for residence out
of town. and they have built up many
beautiful suburban places in the vicinity
Of Philadelphia. The New Jersey coun-
ties near Philadelphia present all the ad-
vantages for residence, and there can be
no better attraction for residential popula-
ton than well-built roads. Burlington
County will not be long in realizing that
