CENTER OF DRUM INDUSTRY
Massachusetts Town From Which In
struments Are Turned Out by
Hundred Thousand Yearly.

The town of Granville, Mass, sends
out nearly half a million toy drums
every year. 1t is no wonder that
Granville lads. however soldierly,
care nothing about drums, for they
are too old story.
AS in other businesses, there is a
constant demand for new models and
designs, and popular drum of today
may find no sale tomorrow.
A unique drum made a number of
years ago has never been duplicated.
IL was made for advertising purposes,
and the hoops were eight feet in d.
ameter.
A search was made all about Gran.
vile for the biggest cattle, and a
wnoie hide was used for a head. Be-
fore the drum was put together a
horse was driven through the barrel,
SO that an idea Of its size can be
obtained.
Inc "drumsticks" were small tele.
graph poles." The drum was taken
to Boston and exhibited. The build.
Ing In which it was displayed col.
iapsed, however, and the huge drum
was ruined. But its memory still
lives In Granville and has become a
tradition Of the place.
peculiar feature in connection
with the drums shipped to the Pa.
clnc coast is that the heads, which
are unable to stand the dampness
and heat of tropical sea voyage, are
sent across the country by rail.
When the parts arrive they are set
up again, and the drums are ready for
sale. The drums are first put togeth.
er before leaving the factory, and
each part fitted, so that the reas.
sembling is an easy matter.
The process of making drums re.
veals the same minute subdivision of
labor that is shown in all modern
manufacturing. How minute this Is
maybe shown by the fact that single
workman Is able to turn out more
than 1000 pieces a day of some of
the parts. The making of the heads
Is an interesting process.
tho sheepsklnS arrive In par
uaiiy dressed state, and are at once
scraped and dried. Cutters are put
to work and circular pieces cut out.
Fart OF the waste is used In max.
ing snaredrums and the rest ia
shipped to the glue factory. The finer
drumheads are made of calfskin,
stretched and dried by a special pro.
cess.
The wooden barrel of the drum is
made by machine, which takes a log
OF wood and peels from it, somewhat
as skin. is peeled from an apple.

WHEELING. w. Va, November s.

DEMOCRATS ARE SURE
OF 48 SEATS IN SENATE
Final ReturnseFrom Several of
the States Likely to In

Today's returns have not increased
the democratic strength in the United

of forty -eight seats-one-half of the
full membership Of ninety-siX-and of the

The republicans are assured of forty
one seats and there are still seven
seats in doubt.
The toga wearers still undetermined
as to politics are the two from Illinois
ana one each from Michigan. Oregon.
South Dakota, Tennessee and Wyoming.
The democrats seem likely to get one
or more of these and thus make their
domination in the upper branch OF
Congress absolute.
