NEW YEAR BELL IS SILENT,

ence Formerly Rang In the Year.
Every New Years eve citizens of
Philadelphia gather round the shrine
of Liberty, independence hall, to hear
the New Year rung in. Formerly this
service was performed by the bell now
known as the Liberty bell.
Before that memorable day In 1776
when the nations fathers gave forth
to the world their Declaration Of indie
pendence, whose signing was heralded
by the ringing of the bell. New Years
rejoicing was started by the first peal
of what is now known as the Liberty
bell.
After the events of July 4, 1776.
made the bell one Of the most price
less relics of the nation. custodians Of
Independence hall restricted its use,
fearing some mishap. and after 1880
the bell was no longer used for the
New Years salute. In 1882, on the Gel
ebration of George Washington's birth
day. 1t was rung and not again for
three years, when on July 8, 1885,
while the funeral procession Of Chief
Justice Marshall was passing. the bell
was tolled.
Suddenly the note grew discordant.
An Investigation was made. 1t was
found that crack had been started.
The bell had completed its task. No
more would 1t greet the New Year or
lay tribute to the nations great But

Delights of Christmas
An Ancient Poem


When Christmas approaches each
bosom is gay,
That festival banishes sorrow away,
While Richard he kisses both Susan
and Dolly
When tricking the house up with
ivy and holly,
For never as yet it was counted
crime
To re merry and cherry at that hap
Ply time.
Then come turkey and chine, with
the famous roast beef,
Of English provisions still reckoned
the chief.
Roger wishes the cook maid his
wishes to crown,
ooh, Dolly, pray give me a bit of
the brown"
For never as yet it was counted a
crime
To be merry and cherry at that hap
Ply time.
The luscious plum pudding does
smoking appear,
And the charming mince pie is not
far from the rear.
Then each ticks his chops to behold
such sight,
For to taste it affords him superior
delight,
For never as yet it was counted a
crime
To be merry and cherry at that hap
Ply time.
Now the humming October goes
merrily round,
And each with good humor is hap
PLY crowned.
The song and the dance and the
= mirth giving jest,
Alike without harm by each one is
expressed.
For never as yet it was counted q
crime
To be merry and cherry at that hap
Ply time.
Twelfth day next approaches to give
you delight,
And the sugared rich cake is dis
played to the sight;
The man and the maid and the
king and the queen
Alike must be present to add to the
scene,
For never as yet it was counted a
crime
To be merry and cherry at that hap
Ply time.
May each be found thus as the year
circles round,
With mirth and good humor each
Christmas be crowned,
And may all who have plenty Of
riches in store
With their bountiful blessings make
happy the poor,
For never as yet it was counted q
crime
To be merry and cherry at that hap
Ply time.

R. A. Lovett of Boston are found on the lists.
 The gravest fault with the Ameri- can civilian, so army officers have found, is his rebelliousness against the strict regime of military life. Intelligent, accustomed to do his own thinking and to guide his own actions, he finds it hard to grasp the idea that he is a minute cog in vast military machine-that he must not think for himself or act for himself.
 Officers declare that it is more difficult to reconcile their civilian pupils to the idea of military disci- pline than it is to teach them to fly
 But by infinite patience and ap- peals to the unselfishness of the students they have succeeded in drilling these lessons into the first aeronautical instruction class.
 A certain number of newly-fledged pupils will be retained at the fields for the instruction of those who COIllc dllcT luciu huo NhC my any navy will establish sort of endless chain system of practical teaching whereby the graduating class will undertake the improve ment of the freshmen

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. After few short weeks of practice the volunteers in Uncle Sam's aviation training schools have indicated that America will surpass the nations of the world in flying. The hundreds of volunteers gathered at the four training fields in operation now have shown greater aptitude in aerial navigation than did the British or French novices.
 In some instances men have learn ed the ticklish art of equilibrium within three hours after they began to fly
 So uniformly successful have the new aviators been under the in struction of American officers that their teachers are now laying great CT stress upon their duties at ma chine gun operators, photographers, map-sketchers, etc.
 The four fields in use are locat- ed at Rantoul, H., Dayton, o.; Mt. Clements, Mich, (near Detroit); The Wilbur Wright field at Dayton the largest of the group. It will accom- modate 300 students at a time, and now has 1,700 volunteers on it's list These include the machinists, canvas repairers and others who are not actually studying aviation. Three hundred students may be taught in one class on an immense field
 The other fields accommodate facilities for the instruction of 150 men at a time. This constitutes one airplane squadron.
 Under American Experts
 Contrary to the impression, which has been spread abroad, the Ameri- cans are not learning flying under the instruction of French and Brit ish experts. These latter are ire quently on the field, but they serve simply in an advisory capacity. The actual work of teaching the young airmen is in the hands of the Unit ed States commissioned and non commissioned officers who, in the Signal Corps, have been studying the subject for years.
 The progress made by the young airmen has caused army officers to revise hastily certain schedules which they had prepared.
 When the first camps were open ed the belief was generally ex pressed that the men could not be 1 trained in less than eight months A fatal absence of that mysterious sense of the equilibrium" was fear ed in many of them. Within one week this time was cut to six months, and before the second week was out the officers expressed their belief that the rank and file could be made ready for France in four months. Now they are talking Of graduating" some of the classes.
 Among the group of newly ac- Quired aviators, there are college men, automobile salesmen, mechan ics, chauffeurs, yachtsmen, horse men, polo players and policemen. Such names as J. P.
