COSTLY CHIMES FOR CADETS
Big Set Of Bells Is Being Made for
Chapel at United States Military
Academy at West Point.

What Is said will be the most costly
the most musical sets In existence is
now being made at the foundry of the
Meneely Bell company of Troy, n. Y,
for the massive tower of cadet chapel,
Rev. II, Z. Silver, chaplain, at the
United States military academy. West
Point, as the gift of Mrs. James NJ.
Lawton, in memory of her father, the
late. Maj. Gen. Robert Anderson, who
was graduated from the academy in
1925, and whose brilliant command of
Fort Sumter at the outbreak OF the
Civil war has thrilled millions of read
ers of American history, says the
Waterman Examiner.
There win be IL bells in the chime,
the largest weighing nearly two tons
and measuring SO inches at its mouth.
The cadet chapel Is OF stone, quarried
from rock found on the military
grounds, and cost to build about hnrf
a million dollars. Its commanding pO-
sition on the hill back from the Hud-
son river makes an ideal place for
bells, and the patriotic airs from the
chime will sound throughout the beau
tiful highlands, In the midst of which
the military academy is situated, and
prove a source OF inspiration 10 the fu-
ture generals Of the United States
army that will always linger with them
