GOVERNMENT EMPLO DYES RECALLED BY CHIME OF
 BELLS WHILE THEY WORK
Especial from United Press. )

Washington, March 31.-Uncle Sal ms employees in Boston are to have music while they work, if the offer of Mrs. Andrew c. WheeIwright of the Intellectual City to the gov ernment can beaccepted and the of ficia1s of the Treasury Department are hard at work trying to find a way to accept it. Mrs. Whee1wright wants to fling forth to the breezes from the top of the 20-story tower of the new customs house at Boston, great bunch es of melody from a heavy chime of bells. She is willing to supply the bells and further to endow a corps of expert bell ringers. It has been suggested that the chimes might give popular concerts during the customs house hour and that little rag time now and then might facilitate the progress of the government work but probably the more appropriate com positions for Boston would be such things as Bach's Fugue in G minor and Chopin's march Funuebre. The treasury officials have discovered that the law will. not permit them to ac- oept the contribution of the bells or. to turn over any part of the govern 1nent building to the endowed bell ringers.
 Senator Lodge, however, has prom ised to obtain the necessary 1egisla- ton from Congress to give Boston her music.

The press OF Virginia is al worked up
over the question OF injustice TO its
school-teachers. In the town of poca-
hontas-ominous name when it comes to

attending any dances. on the theory that
such frivolous form of enjoyment might
unfit them as instructors of youth.
In all humility, we recognize that we
have no right 20 butt into the social az
fairs of Virginia. but on general princi-
pies. we cannot refrain from stating our
opinion that the school board in question
is all wrong. and that the school-teachers
have a right TO protest.
Here-if we wanted to be erudite-we
could and we wosld enter upon dis
sertation about the dancers art; tell how
the dance as an expression of human joy
came into being: cite historical instances
where the dance has had an ime
portant bearing on the fate OF nations,
drawing parallels that should extend
from the untimely fate OF John the Bap-
fist, clear down 10 the Indian war dances
that always precluded a good. hearty
scrap. but we refrain. That angle of the
subject is undoubtedly all right, but we
prefer the school-teaehers' end of the
matter.
