MANY INTERESTING TRADITIONS
ARE TOLD ABOUT THE
CHIMES.

Ipnumerable interesting traditions
are known concerning bells. They
have always played an important part
in religious ceremonies, says the Ec-
clesiastical Review, In the books Of
Exodus and Ecclesiastes the orna-
ments Of the high priests ephod in
clude bells, so that 'their sound might
be heard whenever he goeth in or
cometh out of the sanctuary" Their
use in the Eastern church obtains
even to this day, bells being found as
they were of old on the fringe of
priestly garments.
The oral laws of the Jews, consist
ing of many traditions touching the
Mosaic law, tells that the ancient
Hebrews employed also larger bells,
which were called Megeruphita. These
were used on different occasions by
the multitude Of temple officers and
caused frequently such noise in the
streets Of Jerusalem that it was hard
to catch the words Of speaker. Their
purpose was threefold. To call the
priests for service, to summon the
Levites to come and sing and to ap-
prise persons that the unclean might
be brought to the gate named Nj
canor.
The Angelus Bells.
Solemn ceremonies precede the ded-
icating Of bells for sacred purposes,
according to a form prescribed in the
Pontificial called the blessina Of a

The passing bell was rung in Eng
lish pre-Reformation times for the dy-
ing as well as after death. The prac-
tice grew out Of the belief that devils
and evil spirits troubled the dying
and lay in wait to torment the soul
when it had left the body. After the
Reformation the passing bell was dis
continued, although toIling after
death is still the custom.

NO ACTION TAKEN
CONCERNING
CLUB
COMMITTEE HAS BEEN UNABLE
TO GET TO WORK ON MEN,
5ERsHlP CAMPAIGN

Owing to the fact that the annual
meeting Of the stockholders of the
Las Vegas Commercial club is but two
weeks in the future, no action for the
betterment Of conditions existing in
the organization was taken last night
at the regular monthly session Of the
board Of directors.
About month ago, at meeting
Of the stockholders Of the club, it was
decided to reduce the membership
fee to $1.25, to make campaign for
new members and to solicit subscrip-
tions for an advertising fund To car
ry out this plan a committee of nine
men was appointed 1t was the idea
Of the stockholders in adopting this
plan Of action to commence work at
once A month has passed and, aside
from drawing up list Of proposed
new members and classifying various
businesses, no move has been made.
It is understood that four members
Of the committee were compelled to
decline for various reasons. to serve
at this particular time. Two other
members Of the committee, including
the chairman, were out of town at
The time Of the stockholders meet
ing Another member Of the commit
tee has since removed to Albuquerque
for the winter and a fourth is out Of
the city at the present time. The
ninth and last member sof this COM
mittee has been unable to act, being
tied down by his business In the
meantime the club debt has been in
creasing.
j It was suggested by the directors
i last night that President w. J. Lucas
appoint new committee to carry out
the plant outlined by the stockholders
II at the recent meeting. However, it is
probable that no action along this line
will be taken until after the annual
meeting Of the stockholders. This
meeting will occur on October 5, the
second Tuesday Of next month. At
this time the annual election Of Off
GERS will take place.
| Notices Of this meeting will be sent
/ to all Of the members Of the club by
i Secretary George A. Fleming and all
of the directors have pledged them
selves to work for a good attendance.
at this session.
The members of the membership
campaign committee appointed by
President Lucas at the recent stock
holders meeting are as follows: q.
G. Murphey, chairman; Clarence Iden,
w. 2, Gortner, DR.. ]. M. Cunningham,
w. ]. Mills, Jefferson Reynolds, G.
Rosenwald, H. G. Ilfeld and Max Nord-
haus. These are all capable men and
it is to be regretted that circumstan-
ces made it impossible for them to
act. All are willing but it appeared
that no definite time could be found
when SO many busy men could get
together to act as a united committee.
It was deemed not advisable for the
committee to begin operations before
lallYI, or at least majority Of the mem
bers, could serve.

them a lot of the most awful-look-

they embarked it was raining and
these girls came on board with
streams of red and yellow and
