PRECURSOR OF THE PIANO
Harpsichord, in Arrangement of Key
board and Strings, ,Resembled the
instrument in Use Today.

The harpsichord was stringed mu-
steal instrument in use in the 10th,
18th and 18th centuries, which in its
form and in the arrangement OF the
keyboard and strings resembled a pi'
ano, but in which the tone was pro-
duced by the plucking or swapping OF
the strings by leather or quill points,
which were set in jacks connected by
levers with the keys. In form it usu-
ally resembled a modern grand piano
forte, though both square and upright
varieties were also made. The length
Of the keyboard was four to six and
a half octaves. The number OF sep
arate strings to a key varied from
one to four, sometimes including one
tuned an octave above the others; the
latter variety was called q double
harpsichord. The tone was weak and
tinkling, and graduation of force was
impossible. Two keyboards were
sometimes combined ..one for soft

BANKS GAVE SPLENDID
AID In LOAN DRIVES
Public Should Now Help Them In
Their Efforts To Make Country
Even More Prosperous.
By Carter Glass,

Secretary of the Treasury.
No group of men In the United
States measured up to the test Of the
great war more admirably than did
the bankers. The success Of the uait'
ed States Treasury Department in
floating over $21, 100000 in Liber
ty Bonds and Victory Notes during
the last two years was due in no small
measure to the patriotic cooperation
of the banks. They took a most &C
tive part in each Of the loan cam
paigns. =
They subscribed generously for
themselves, made loans to their Gus.
toners in order that they might buy
bonds, and sold bonds on installments
to accommodate, those having small
savings. In other words, the banks
did everything possible to promote the
sale and distribution Of government
securities.
The banker can render an equally
great service in reconstruction by co
operating with the government in its
movement to teach the people Of the
United States the lessons of sound fl.
nance and wise investment. In pro,
noting this cause the banker will aid
his institution and the financial sit
uation in general at the same time.
Now that the war is over the REQ,
pie should be impressed with the wis
dom of holding their government Sc.
curities and also Of purchasing more,
from time to time. The more gener'
ally the people of the United States
absorb government securities the
greater will be the ability Of the com
mercial banks to devote practically
all of their resources to furnishing
ADEQUATE credit to the commerce end
industry OF the country.
Providing short-time credit to com
merce and industry Is their normal
peace-time function. The sale and
movement of farm crops, manufac.
tured products and other commodities,
as well as the continuous and efficient
employment of labor, in fact, the whole
industrial process will be promoted by
permitting the commercial banks to
devote all their resources to this
function.
The people of the United States
should, therefore, be encouraged to
pay off their installments and borrow.
ings on bond collateral as rapidly as
possible, and also to purchase addi-
tional government securities as Is
sued from time to time or in the mar
ket. If this is done the people OF this
country will be benefited in a two
fold way. They will free material and
labor for the production Of commodi-
ties which are now so desperately
needed the world over. At the same
time they will be strengthening them.
selves financially.

effects; the other for loud. Numerous
devices, usually connected with the
jacks, were introduced, at different
times to secure variety in force, and
especially in quality. These mechan-
isms, which often aimed to simulate
the tone qualities of various orches.
trail instruments, were usually con-
trolled by stopknobs near the key
board. The harpsichord, though es-
sentially different from the pianoforte,
was its immediate predecessor. Be
fore 1900 it was regularly used in all
dramatic music, especially In accom-
panying recitatives and IN orchestral
music. The conductor usually direct
