DICE LONG KNOWN TO WORLD
Amusement 10 Probably the Most An
eient 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. writers ana numerous repre-
sensations IN marble and paintings
show how popular dice-playing was
among them.

Wedding Rings.

Wedding rings have been worn since
time immemorial and their origin can
only be a matter OF conjecture. The
FIRST rings were probably made for
kings, with their seal engraved on It.
This ring, at sight Of which all must
obey, gradually impressed the common
people with the belief that 1t was not
the seal but the ring which held the
power. This belief OF the credulOus
was exploited by maglcians and
priests, and they began to sell rings
as charms. Not much over a century
ago Il 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.

EXPLAINING LACK OF DETAIL
Youthful Artist Had Excellent Reason
for Leaving Out Characters In
Her Illustration.

A primary class In one Of the grade
schools was asked TO illustrate a
story that had been read to the little
ones by the teacher. The story told
of three children going to a wood In
goat wagon, and staying until the
sun went down. Most of the pictures
showed the goat with big horns pulling
the wagon containing the children,
and a sun going down behind hill.
One of the small girls In the class
handed in a picture showing merely
hill and some grass.
"Why, what does your picture
mean?" inquired the teacher. "Where

FRANCE BALKS ON
SUBMARINE RATIO
ENJOYS DECLARE NATION MUST
REMAIN FREE TO BUILD
100000 TONNAGE.
BaLFoUR MAKES OPEN CHARGE
Says Stand is Menace to Britain; Con.
ference Dismisses Sub and Turns
to Other Subjects.

Neutrality-suspicious. to limit the
naval strength of the powers in sub
marines and auxiliary warships came
to an abrupt end Dec. % after they
had drawn the French and British
arms conference delegates into a
plain-spoken exchange over the pos
sibilities of a future war between
France and the British empire.
The French, acting under renewed
instructions from their government,
told the conference naval committee
with an air of finality that France
must remain free to build submarine
flotilla nearly three times as great as
that she now possesses and to con-
struct, in addition, cruisers, Destroy
ers and other auxiliary craft up to
tonnage of 100000.
To the proposal, the Americans,
Japanese and Italians replied with
expressions of surprise and regret,
while the British charged openly that
such a building program must be re-
garded as a menace to British shores.
Arthur ]. Balfour added that he had
no doubt, if occasion arose, Great
Britain would be equal to it, but only
if she reserved complete freedom Of
action as to the construction of all
types of auxiliaries which might be
useful against underwater warfare.
Agreeing that further argument
would be useless, the committee
turned it's attention to collateral sub
jects, including regulations for future
use of submarines, proposals for linn
itation of the size and armament Of
individual auxiliary vessels, and de-
tails of the. agreement already sealed
in principle regarding capital ships.
For the American delegation, Elihu
Root proposed joint declaration re-
affirming the obligation Of submarine
commanders to warn merchant ships
before attack, to refrain from sink
ing vessels whose crews and passen-
gers could not first be placed in safe
ty, and to conform in general to all
the established practices of interna-
tional law. In addition, Mr.. Root also
suggested a change in existing usage
to prohibit attacks on merchant YES
sells altogether and to make sub
marine commanders who violate the
regulation liable to trial as pirates.
General sympathy for the purposes
of these proposals was expressed by
the representatives of all the powers,
but definite action was deferred.
Should an agreement be reached. 1t is
to be submitted to all civilized nations
with an invitation for worldwide adj
herence.
