ANCIENT TABLET FOUND Yale Archeologists Say Dhcov-‘ ery Pierces “Dark Age.” NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 29 (#®). —Yale archaeologists have announced they have pierced a so-called “dark age” of early civilizations along the Euphrates River covering some 2,000 years, in finding of a cuneiform tablet fragment at Dura, Prench Syria. The fragment was found in an un- baked mud brick which formed part of the wall of the Temple of Atargatis built in 31-35 A. D. Prof. Perris J. Stephens, curator of the Yale Babylonian collection, said the tablet pushes back the history of Dura by more than 1,000 years, showing that the “Pompeil of the desert,” at first believed built by Alexander the Great, iook the place of a much older village of the same name, BLUE RIDGE BUS LINES Is Operating All Schedules Serving Akron, Canton, Chamfieruburg, Clarksburg, Cleveland, Cumberland, Frederick, Ha g er stown, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, Uniontown, Wheeling and all points West.
