MANHATTANERS ARE
 DEUCHTED WITH MC KEE:
 BUT NOT POLITICIANS

NEW YORK, Sept, 21,-"Square- jawed" Joseph V. Mckee has made political history in the Is days that he has been mayor of New York.
 Up to September 2, he has been known only as a self-effacing, ef- ficient young fellow who occasion ally pinch-hit for an absent Mayor Walker in receiving some celebrity and made a smooth, pleasant job of the reception. But since that date, with Mayor Walkers resigna- tion, he has become a national fig ure, not only as Mayor of New York but as a potential national Demo- cratic force.
 His contacts have already carried him onto the national stage. Far sighted Tammany is weighing his chances for larger posts, watching the daily economy moves with which he delights Manhattan and devastates political precedence.

Backgammon Pastime Of
Old Egyptian Royalty

In accordance with the Egyptian
custom Of burial, when images of serv-
ants and pictures Of daily activities
were placed in the tomb so that the
departed one could enjoy all the pleas
ures Of her earthly life in the after
life, a picture Of a queen playing "ta-
bleS" or backgammon was included 50
that her soul could indulge in q game
whenever she desired.
In later centuries backgammon was
a favorite among the gentry. Kings
and their mistresses wagered their
jewels on the dancing dice. To Louis
XIV it was second only to billiards.
James 1 Of Scotland spent the eve
ming before his murder playing at the
tables with the ladies and gentlemen
Of his court. 1t is also recorded that
Nine. Pompadour owned many expen-
sive boards, one, in particular, inlaid
with gold and ivory and appointed
with men Of green and white ivory
delicately carved.
Luck played an important part In
the winnings then, and so 1t does to-
day, though our best gamesters insist
that backgammon is as much test OF
skill as chess or bridge, love or the
stock market.
