ices are held in the chapel by its rec
tor, the Rev. w. Herbert Burk, who
started the movement for the erection
of the buildings in 1903. The entire
group of buildings are of the beautiful
Collegiate Gothic type of architecture.
They house collection of Revolu-
tionary relics and library of Ameri-
cana which is unique. 1t is estimated
that 100000 will be needed to COM
plete the structures as planned. When
finished they will constitute sort OF

richness of Philadelphia's historic
memories were brought more closely
to the attention Of the whole nation.
Americans from Maine to California
visit Valley Forge. Do the citizens OF
Philadelphia realize what an excep'
tional opportunity they themselves
have of spending memorable after
noon in a place so near at hand, so
crowded with memorials of the most
critical period in American history. SO
beautiful in its setting among the
cool, green hills of Chester Valley. so
attractive in every way to the person
who wishes to escape for a day the
city streets?

WHO RANG THE LIBERTY BELL
Identity Of Man Who Will Forever
Live in History Has Not Been
Definitely Established.

THE mystery of the old bell ringer"
is tile most fascinating of the myths
which were revived by the trip of the
Liberty bell from Philadelphia to San
Francisco.
Who was the old man who rang the
hell when it first pealed forth in cele-
bration of the Declaration OF lnde'
pendence?
It is conceded that the story Of the
boy dashing into the street on July g.
1776, calling to the old caretaker IN
the belfry, Ring. ring! They've
signed it," is fiction pure and simple
Wilfred Jordan, custodian of the mu
scum in independence hall. and an au'
thority on the history of the Liberty
bell, declares there is no record OF
such an event. The first authenti
Gated ringing, after the signing OF the
Declaration of independence was on
July 8, when it called the citizens OF
Philadelphia together to hear the doc
ument read.
ANDREW McNair, doorkeeper at the
time, may have been the hrst Dell
ringer, but this has not been estab
lished," says Custodian Jordan.
A story for which history will not
youch is that when the news of the
surrender of CORVALLIS reached Phil
adelphia. "the old bell ringer died OF
Joy"
The history of the Philadelphia
Pine street church contains the name
of "William Hurry, bellman of the old
statehouse." And on the ancient stone
in the graveyard where Hurry lies bur
led are the words, who departed this
life October %, 1881" That day the
news of the surrender of CORVALLIS
reached Philadelphia.
Was William Hurry really tho olo
bell ringer who rang in the new yeal
of American freedom on the day that
the Declaration of Independence was
approved, and did he really die Of Joy
Oh hearing that the long war with
England was over at last?

Heads and "Tales."

When the dynamite trial was held
in this city, the name Of Charles Mil
Ter became a household word. 1n one
small Indiana town the children of a
certain family who knew the attorney
were fond of acting out Bible scenes.
The two elder sisters had decided OH
the story of John the Baptist. and
asked little John to take the part OF
the Bible hero. John was from Mis-
souri, and had to be shown. After care
fully explaining the Importance of his
part to him, and the mighty character
whom lie was to impersOnate, John
looked up in disgust. and drawled:
"Naw! amt goin' to be no John the
Baptist. I'd rather he somebody great
like Charlie Miller" - Indianapolis

wAsHINeroNs HEADQUARTERS.

Washington's headquarters, a stone
farmhouse which belonged to Isaac
Potts, Quaker, stands near the rail-
road station, and at the entrance to
the park. 1t was Isaac Potts who is
said to have seen Washington at pray
er in the icebound woods, at time
when hope seemed almost gone.
The rooms are today as they were
in Washington's time. The log kitch-
en- at the rear was built while Wash
ington occupied the house. From 1t
descends an entrance into what was
tunnel to the banks Of the Schuyl-
kill river. Priceless Revolutionary
relics are gathered in the building.
The tent which Washington used on
the field is still preserved.
At this entrance to the park stands
the beautiful memorial arch of stone
built by the nation and completed last
year. 1t is known as the Washington
Memorial arch, and another, to be
called the Steuben Memorial arch. is
planned for the other principal en-
frances of the park. For beauty and
impressiveness no similar structure in
the United States, with the exception
of the Washington arch in Washing
ton Square, New York, whose design
is similar, can compare with that
which now stands at Valley Forge.

Silent. but Eloquent.

Otto H. Kahn, who has given his
estate in England as home for blind
soldiers, was talking about the horrors
of war.
"The other day." he said, 1.-TWO men
on IIoboken pier saw huge cargo
of wooden legs being loaded on

The drainage of the inland lake OF
$4,000 acres formed north of Ainster-
dam by the disastrous floods Of Janu-
airy last has been completed, save for
one or two of the deeper 'polders"
or basins in the area in question. The
construction and installation of the
giant pumping plant on the restored
Zuider Zee bikes was carried out in
four weeks, and the actual pumping
took another four, so that the problem
of removing something like 20O,OOO,OOO
cubic meters of water was dealt with
in matter of two months only. So
far as Dutch engineers are aware. this
is an unequaled feat in any other coull-
try in the world. The advance made
by modern photographic engineering
may be gathered from the fact that af-
ter the floods of February, 1925, the
draining took until July. 1926. lasting

Reminder Of Famous Jester.

In Braunschweig, quaint old Ger

Till Eulenspiegel, famous as a Jester
in the fourteenth century, worked as a

musical composition, ''Till Eulen-
spiegels Merry Franks" witch en-
shrines his name, have never associat-
ed this with the merry baker boy Of
Braunschweig. He is credited with
having made many little gingerbread
owls and monkeys. which he gave
away to children. The shop at No.

Belts on New Jackets.

Belts are form Of militarism in
clothes that has made an appearance.
There are few jackets from which this
dividing line is omitted. 1t is more
frequently placed at the normal waist
line than we have had it for years,
but evidently the old-fashioned place
for the waist is to be popular again.

Here, in the lonely WOODS OF var
ley Forge, is the spot forever hallowed
where Washington knelt upon the
snow and prayed in the extremity OF
despair that the cause of liberty should
yet be successful. says the Philadel-
phia Record.
Thousands of visitors do, indeed,
visit Valley Forge, but many thou
sands more would do SO If they realized
the pleasure which attends such trip,
altogether arart from the rich reward
to be gained by seeing with their own
eyes the ground where handful of
ragged and starving men, paupers in
everything save their store Of indom-
table courage, fought cold and hun
ger-enemies more relentless than
hostile troops-through that terrible
winter of 1777. For now the beautiful
woodlands that line the Schuylkill,
the slopes that enclose the Chester
Valley, are ideal spots for days
jaunt.
That anyone within Philadelphia
should not make pilgrimage to Val
ley Forge, less than an hours ride
from the city, seems unthinkable.
Valley Forge is extremely accessi-
BILE. Two railroad lines, traction car
line and automobile passenger omni.
buses running from the city to all
the points of interest in the vicinity,
make it an extremely easy matter for
any tourist to reach Valley Forge and
enjoy the day there. A dozen splendid
inns in the neighborhood, located
among the pleasant hills of the beau
tiful Chester Valley, are famous
among automobiles for their cordial
welcome, their appetizing dinners and
their attractive rooms. Some of them
have the added charm of recalling. by
their Colonial architecture and their
quaint furnishings the historic days
when they were first erected. In no
locality, outside of Europe, can be
.ound so many delightful wayside tav-
ems as are open to the rambler
through this lovely valley.

The lace upon the cap and jacket need

obtained by dipping the too pale lace
