mmm nkmmt ' w.: BOWLING N0TK8 "Spring Grove's bowlers turned in a relapse in their weekly session at the Palace Alleys with not a single aeries ranging: over the coveted 500 mark. This led all the more stress on the count of 210 rolled up by an old timer at the game who has been out of the alleys for a good many years.

They were made by cunning artificers and sealed with the embalmed body of their imperial master more than 6,000 years ago. The carved tablets of the Egyptians imparted to the moderns almost all we know * of leather until our chemical laboratories - began their work less than fifty years ago. By all the ancient States leather was highly prized and was Valued with gold, silver, ivory and rare woods as gifts worthy to be .paid in tribute to their kings and to their gods. ^ Th£ very first book of the Bible--Genesis, 111, 21--relates: "Unto Adam also and to />• his wife <Jid the Lord God n^ta§ coats of skins and clothed them." 5 ) So old as our oldest Book is the use of l e a t h e r . . „ 1 >•_ - Among Greeks their gfieat fod, Zeus, wore the aegis; a rough hide which covered his head, neck, breast and left arm.
