PRIEST CALLS DICE
Triggers CAME

Jersey City, y. j. Dec. 2-Dice was
probably evolved from knucklebones.
Both were played in times antecedent
to those OF which we posses any writ
ten records. Sophocles ascribed their
invention to Palamedes, a Creek. who
taught them to his countrymen during
the seige Of Troy. The fact that dice
have been used throughout the Orient
from time immemorial seems to point
clearly TO an Asiatic origin. CFrom the
Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Ignoring history which clearly proves
dice originated in Europe or Asia two
or three thousand wears ago, the priest
in charge OF St Peters Church Van
Worst and Grand Streets referred to
dice and craps as ringers game

viscd his parishioners against ganb-

Scientists Find TOmbs
of 20Generutj011s OF
Ethiopian Kings

one by one uncovered the tombs OF all
the other Kings. Queens, Princes and
Princcsses OF Ethiopia for a period Of
more than four centuries.
After the excavations at Nuri, four
OF the greatest Kings OF Ethiopia were
still lacking-Kings who, like Tirhaqua,
had ruled Egypt as well as Ethiopia.
In the third year of search these four
Kings with their Queens, and, indeed
six generations OF their ancestors, were
found at the second royal cemetery
at El-Kur Wv on the north OF Napata.
1t was then discovered that the royal
family OF Ethiopia had sprung iron a
tribe OF Libyan nomads who had en-
tered the province. then a part OF
Egypt. about 900 B. G., had become
Egyptianized, reyolted from Egypt.
and finally, under Piankhy, conquered
the older country. From this sun
scorched place, five OF the Kings OF
Ethiopia had ruled Egypt and 2000
miles OF the Nile Valley and had sent
their ambassadors to the courts OF
Assyria and western Asia.
Careful study OF the objects and in
scriptons found in these tombs has
given the Harvard Boston archaeolo-
gists full chronological list OF the
Kings OF Ethiopia during this period,
and a knowledge OF the condition and
development OF the remarkable arts
and crafts oil the time.

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 3.-The City
Council of Atlanta put itself on the
map a few days ago by reopening
question which has been believed to
be settled in America since the land
ing of the Pilgrim Fathers at Ply
mouth Rock three hundred years ago.
BY vote of twelve to eleven the
council passed an ordinance which
would bar whites and blacks from
attending the same place of worship"
The enforcement of this ordinance
would seriously hamper the work OF
several religious schools here, where
the teachers. who are white attend
religious services with the student
body. Among the schools affected
would be, Atlanta University. Spell
man Seminary. Clark University. and
Cannon Theological Seminary. Nor
ris Brown University and Morehousc
