nationwide prominence for his part in the
steel strike, is before the public once
more, this time as speaker for the strik-

Foster was too radical for even the

been comparatively mild. Possibly the

cause.
That Fosters ideas are as pro-Bol-

WEDDING Rings.

Wedding rings have been worn since
time immemorial and their origin can
only be matter OF conjecture. The
FIRST rings were probably made for
kings. with their seal engraved on H.
This ring, at sight Of which all must
obey. gradually impressed the common
people with the belief that It was not
the seal but the ring which held the
power. This belief Of the credulouS
was exploited by magiclaps an6
priests. and they began to sell rings
as charms. Not much over century
ago II was still believed that rings
could cure cramps. bilious complaints.
blindness. epilepsy. etc. OF course. in
early days, young lovers would spend
their all to procure rings that might
protect the loved one from harm. To
this day. in France. rings Of hay,
straw and horseshoe nails are given
on betrothal as protection against d.
abolical arts.

DICE LONG KNOWN TO WORLD
Amusement Is Probably the Most An
cient Game, According to Records
of Old Writers.

The oldest amusement in the world
Is dice-throwing.
In some form or another, dice have
existed In every period Of history.
They are shown on early Egyptian
monuments. and some dug up at
Thebes recently are exactly similar to
those In use today. They are men,
toned in laws regulating games
played In ancient Greece and Rome
and most other countries In Europe.
The invention OF dice Is attributed
to Palamedes, one of the heroes who
sailed against Troy. about the year
1914 b. c., but the use of cubes with
numbered sides for gambling purposes
Is probably much earlier.
Frequent passages in the works of
ancient writer's and numerous repre-
sensations IN marble and paintings
show how popular dice-playing was
among them.
