FAMOUS SYMBOL IS BELIEVED TO BE

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.

THE Ark, ancient symbol of
Jehovah's pact with the Jews, is supposed to rest at Aksum, an ancient city founded many thousands of years ago, Legend says it was brought there by the son of King Solo mon 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-

men as recorded in the old
testament.
In view of such, a possibility, a group of Jews referred to as a Semitic syndiente approached the underwriters and asked the cost of the unusual transaction involving evaluation of the most sacred religious symbol of carly Israel.
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 21 cubits long and 11⁄2 cubits wide, came into exis- tence when Moses received the Ten Commandments from High, and that when the Israel- ites entered Canaan, it became the shrine of National wor- ship.
on
It has been given an import- ant connection with the cross- ing of the Jordan 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 possession caused the Philistines such an epidemic of misfortunes* throughout their land that, they crammed the Ark with goli, and hitching it to driverless carts, allowed it to be driven out -of-their-country-
March To Jerusalem
It was recovered by Israelite 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 denth of a man named Uzzah, who, see- ing the Ark awaying dangerously on the bampy road, stretched out a hand to stendy it and was struck dend, 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, muking it the chief figure of his magnificent temple.
The attendant ceremony Was marked by two weeks of feasting during which Solomon slaughtered 22,000 oxen, and 130,000 sheep.- United Press,

BUT STABILITY IS EXPECTED TO BE QUAKE AFTERMATH
The Quetta earthquake 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. This is the conclusion reached in the offeinl account of the disaster issued by the India Office. The author of the report, Mr. W. D. West, of the Geologi- cal Survey of India, says that a striking feature of the shock was that it lasted barely half a minute.
"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 some 1,400 miles from Quetta."
Not Volcanic
