The Covenant
FAMOUS SYMBOL IS. BELIEVED TO BE
IN ETHIOPIA.
Paris, Sept. 10, Jewish interests have moved to save the Biblical Ark of the Covenant, reputed to be in Ethiopia, from violation event of war between Italy and Ethiopia,

HE Ark, ancient symbol of Jehovah's pact with the Jews, is supposed to rest at Aksun, an ancient city founded. many thousands of years ago. Legend says it was brought there by the son of King Solo- nion and the Queen of Sheba.
A Semitic syndicate has ap- proached French underwriters about the possibility of insuring | the Ark against war damage. The oblong, coffin-like chest of Acacia wood, overlaid with gold within and without, was carried into battle by the Jews in an cient times as n protection against the enemy.
It was believed the Ethio- pians, with their Semitic tradi- tion and ancestry, might again bring it forth. This time it would be in the midst of tanks, aeroplanes and machine guni instead of spear-bearing foc- recorded in the old
men as
testament.
In view of such a possibility, a group of Jews referred to as a Semitic syndicate approached the underwriters and asked the cost of the unusual transaction involving evaluation of the most sacred religious symbol of early Isruel.
Inestimable Value Hebrew scholars acclaim the Ark as of inestimable value in a religious sense and one of the greatest historic relics of all time.
They point out that the Ark. measuring 215 cubits lone and 1% cubits wide, came into exis- tence when Moses received the Ten Commandments from on High, and that when the Israel- ites entered Canaan, it became the shrine of National wor- ship.
It has been given an import- ant connection with the cross- ing of the Jurdan and capture of Jericho. The blackest day in ancient Jewish history was when it was captured by the Philistines. Tradition, how- ever, has it that its pussession caused the Philistines such an .epidemic of misfortunes throughout their land that they crammed the Ark with gold, and hitching it to driverless -carts, allowed it to be driven-out-
of, their country.
March To Jerusalem
It was recovered by Israelits husbandmen, the narrative pro- ceeds, and taken to Jerusalem during King David's reign. On the historic march to Jerusa- lem, the Ark was guarded by thousands of soldiers.
The only tragedy was the death of a man named Uzzah, who, see- ing the Ark awaying dangerously on the bumpy road, stretched out. a band to steady It and was struck dead, because no layman had the right to touch the Holy of Holies,
In Jerusalem, the Ark was placed in a temporary taberna- cle by David. His successor, Solomon, reputed ancester of the present Emperor Haile Selassie by the Queen of Sheba, had it enshrined in one of the most magnificent cupolas ever constructed, making it the chief figure of his magnificent temple.
The attendant ceremony WAR marked by two weeks of feasting during which Solomon slaughtered 22,000 oxen andt 130,000 sheep-- United Press,

The Quetta carthquake last May, in which over 30,000 people lost their lives, may have the effect of ending the earthquake, menace in the Quetta area for a long time to come.

"During this time the ground was viciously shaken in horizontal plane at a high speed. The motion was des- cribed by many as being like a terrier shaking a rat." The intensity of the shock was such that it is reported to have thrown the seismograph at Calcutta out of adjustment, though situated at a distance of nome 1,400 miles from Quetta."
