the familiar Old Testament story in. cludng the famous Song of Solomon In which Solomon has the girl heroine singing:
 T am black, but comedy, 0, ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of kedar, as the curtains of Solomon"
 However. with reference to the Queen, new alternative theory is now advanced-to wit that the Queen came not from Ethiopia at all, but from a different ancient lost kingdom on the Arabian Peninsula. and that conse. ouently she was not dark-Skinned but Semitic, related to the great ethnologi. cal group of which both the Hebrews and the Arabs form a part.
 The leading opponents of this theory which would greatly annoy the Empress Judith, are the German scientists and explorers who accompanied the Carl Jungmann Expedition into southern Arabia They came back convinced that the province of Arabia now called Saba was the original Kingdom of Shcba's Queen, that it enjoyed high degree of civilization in Biblical times, and that its inhabitants were the same racial stock as the Arabs and Hebrews
 The German expedition has found inscriptions which make the theory plausible if not certainly true. The people of Saba used the primitive Semitic script, and worshiped among other things, the moon and the ser. pcnt It will he recalled that Moses himself lifted up.a serpent in the vii. dcrness, and Mount Sinai, from which he got the Ten Commandments, means literally "The Mountain O. the Moon"
 Strangest of all, in building up this theory IS the possible etymology of the word "Hallelujah," which occurs in many Hebrew psalms, songs of rejoic. ing and hymns of praise It has never been explained satisfactorily. From the inscriptions discovered by the Ger. mans, however, it is learned that the ancient Sabean word for the new moon was "Halil,' and it is argued that "HalIeluiah" may have been originally a joyful religious exclamation in salu tation of the new moon.
 All Bible readers will recall the scenes of great dramatic spendor in the court of Solomon when the Queen of Sheba arrived with her mighty trains and costly gifts. It is recounted that she brought Solomon, among other things one hundred and twenty talents of gold-huge gold bars which would have totaled in value something like $3,000,00O, in modern money. It is recounted also that she came "with camels that bore spices and gold in abudance and precious stones"
 Although there are gold and precious stones in Abyssinia today there is prac. tically no spice of any sort, whereas Arabia is the land of spices, and if the Queen of Shebas kingdom was in

power of God no king, ruler, monarch, emperor or combination of earthly powers would ever be of any avail against the new Negus."
 And certainly the coronation ban quet was conducted on scale com mensurate with such pretensions, for with a magnificent gesture every citi- zen of the realm was invited to it!
 More than 100000 hungry people actually came. so that it was probably the biggest banquet ever given in the history of the world. Furthermore, the Negus attended it in person, and so did the modern Queen of Sheba. For seven days and seven nights the banquet lasted, great droves of cattle, sheep and other animals passing each day through the abattors and great cooking ovens, while butchers worked twenty-four hours a day cutting out

the choicest steaks for the most im- portant guests.
 In the meanwhile nearly every car penter, mason and engineer of the country was engaged in erecting tri- umphal arches, building roads, hanging flags and decorations to do honor to this modern "Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, and his Queen of Sheba, the Empress"
 The new emperor is a dark skinned, slightly built man of medium height, with delicately chiseled features. The new empress. also dark, is heavy and handsome

Queen Judith, believe, and so it is taught in many histories, that the Queen of Sheba was d dark skinned beauty, that Ethiopia was her country, and that after she had visited King Solomon son was born to her and that Solomon was the father of the child. According to historic tradition this son bore so remarkable resem- blance to Solomon that when later in life he visited Palestine he was rec ognizcd at the gates of the Holy City and acclaimed as the son of the King.
 Bible students and secular histo- s: x rians have generally agreed
 that the pretensions of the

Ethiopian-Abyssinian royal family to this origin might well be literally true Not only is the royal family marked, despite the dark color of its skin, with very strongly Hebrew or Semitic fea ttures, but there are whole tribes in Abyssinia which have this definitely Semitic cast of countenance
 That the Queen of Sheba did come from Ethiopia and was actually dark skinned, is based on various details of

she had refused to be acquiescent.
 Those rumors of war, followed by a peaceful agreement and the gorgeous coronation with it's festivals, have nat ufally revived the old historical, and ethnic problem of whether the claims of the Abyssinian royal family of de, scent from Solomon and Sheba are lit orally true. or whether they are merely legend

 who possessed charm and beaut, also IT in such supreme degree that every man who saw her. whether Solomon on his throne or some poo, boatman of the Nile, went mad witf love and offered marriage, thrones even suicide, in return for her smiles
 Today another handsome Empress who claims direct descent from Sheba finds herself less lucky. She has a gorgeous throne and fine young King to sit beside her on it, but the King is not her husband. He has an- other wife whom he has no intention of abandoning. And as for the Elm. press, she has no husband at all
 This queen, who has a king but not husband, is a Zudita (Judith) ruler of Abyssinia and Ethiopia, great realm in Eastern Central Africa, larger than Germany, France, Belgium and Hol- land put together.
 The king, by whose side she now sits, Is her cousin, Ras Tafari, a grandson of King Menelik II. For ten years this Ras Tafari had welded great mill tary and political power in Abyssinia as regent, and insisted finally that the actual throne should be his. Rather than face revolt, Empress Judith agreed to let him be elevated and share the throne with him.
 The result is that Abyssinia N is the only country in the world today wheA the emperor and empress are not at the same time husband and wife. M
 Both of these strange # rulers, since they are cou-
 sins, claim descent equally f from King Solomon and
 the Queen of Sheba.

BOY BITTEN BY DOG

Vain Search Is Made for AMI
NAL, Taken Away by Owner
After Attack.

While 13-year-old William Norf1eet
Pope, jr., is recovering from serious
dog-bite wounds at Children's Hospital
today, his parents are making an effort
to find the valuable English bull terrier
which was taken away by its owner
shortly after he is said to have attacked
the boy yesterday. The boy suffered
deep bite wounds to the left shoulder
and left side and IA stitches were re-
quired to close up the wound in the
left leg. His condition is not regarded
by physicians as serious.
According to the boys mother, Mrs.
Irma Pope, a guide in the Capitol
Building, the child was playing with
his little 8-year-old sister Rosalyn and
several other children on the front steps
of the Nantucket Apartment House at
1418 w street when the dog was led
out of the apartment in the custody Of
its owner, George Mcdonald, who lives
on the top floor of the apartment. The
dog was on a leash. Mrs. Pope said
the dog broke away from Mr.. Mcdonald,
made a dash in the general direction of
the children and chung to her boys left
side, sinking his teeth deeply into the
flesh.
A milkman who was passing at the
time jumped from his wagon and beat
the dog across the head with several
empty milk bottles. When the animal
was subdued the boy was historical
and tainted. He was removed imme-
diately to the hospital and the dog was
taken to Dr. D. E. Buckingham'S Vet
Urinary Hospital at 2113 Fourteenth
street.
Investigation disclosed that Mr.. Nc
Donald called for the dog last night and
it from DE-. Buckingham's. In
curry at the Mcdonald apartment
this morning brought replies that
neither Mcdonald nor the dog was at
home.
William Norfleet Pope. the boys
father, is an employe of the Southern
Railway.
At a hearing before Judge Ralph
