He cut the ivory for the keys, wound
the bass strings, and did all the cabi-
net work on the frames. The mate
rails were bought in the raw state.
and with the simple tools at his COM
mand and an inventive mind the diff
ferent pieces were formed and given
new life, finally blending and molding
themselves into a splendid instrument.
This piano is a fine example OF an
extinct art whereby a piano maker
constructed the instrument in ats en-
tirety.
The first distinctly American piano
was made by Jonas Chickering. whose
father was a blacksmith. The son
must have inherited some OF the ster-
ling qualities for which the village
blacksmith is proverbiaL for he left
evidences of rare skill as a mechanic
and of noble attributes as a man..
Following Chickering in the list of
piano makers we ind the names OF
such men as Sohmer, Weber, Knabe
and many others whose names should
go on the roll of honor as having
given US such an instrument as the

REACHED PINNACLE
IN MASSED SINGING
10000 Voices Blended in Con-
cert Feature of Armistice
Celebration.

What i4probably the highest point
yet reacf1sd in the development OF
concerts and massed singing under
the auspices of business houses was
reached in the Afmistice Day musical
program given at the Wanamaker
store In Phf1Adelphia and heard and
pArtieipated Ia by 10000 people who
hued the floor and the galleries about
the great Ga thedral-like rotunda OF

The COMMUNICATIVE feature of the
osSas,os Sosrso,n ~ :, playing lsn Of Charles
organ and the work of Albert N.
Hoxie, widely known as a leader in
the music for the masses' movement,
who from rostrum in the first gall
lery, conducted the vocal outpouring
of the large audience
The evening began with La Bra
oanconne," the Belgian national an
the CrOWO STOOD
In reverence and sympathy. The
Marsaillaise," which opened the
French part, was given the same tri-
butte. Then was struck the memorial
note of the occasion when the organ
pealed forth the poignant strains of
the Lamentation," by Alexander
Guilmant.
Beautiful Choral Effects,
1t was in the third or British epi-
sode that the massed singing effects
were introduced. After one of the So
lofsts had finished singing the first
verse of God Save the King the
audience Joined in with a second verse
from the international Anthem"
which was written in England to ex-
press the imperishable brotherhood
between that nation and America.
Even more impressive, however, was
the rnassed singing in the fine and
simple old Scotch, Irish and Welsh
folk songs. when the thousands of
voices, under Mr.. Hoxie's direction
blended with the organ like the string
section of a great symphony orches-
ira with the wood winds and the
other choirs
The climax Of the program was the
NTH section, devoted to America, the
audience joining with a will in the
stirring chorus of Battle Hymn of
the Republic" and other patriotic airs.
At the very end Taps" were sounded
by the bugle while the crowd stood
silently in honor of the heroic dead.

Some of the senators classrd as ia
vorlng amendments woeld vote against
the covenant even as amended. some
OF those fayoring amendments in the
last ana!vsis would accept the cove
nant unchanged.
Senator fsnUx declared that the re-
vised covenant was more Objectionable
than the original draft and said IT was
his belief the federal constitution
would not permit the senate TO bind
the United states TO such o pact The
senator held that 1t was entirely with
in the power of the senate To revise
the covenant in any way ii saw iit.
"The contention that the senate
which under the constitution must 'ad-
wise and consent TO treaty" he said.
"ean no, give IFS advice and consent
upon such terms as II chooses TO i'm
pose is in my opinion wholly untenable
and contrary to precedent"

SENATE WILL AMEND TREATY.
Knox Says the Revised Covenant
Means "Nationai Suicide"

M0ano NaSl0n1l SUlctoe.
Washington, May 16.--It would be
national suicide" for the United
States to bind itself to~the revised
laaene of nations covenant. Senator
Knox Of Pennsylvania declared in q
statement. Coming from a former sec
retary Of state, this declaration created
something of a sensation and caused a
noticeable stiffening Of the opposition
to the league in the senate.
A poll showed that no less than fifty
five senators-six more than the nec-
essary maiority-will vote to amend
substantially the league Of nations COW
enant. 1t seemed clear that the opposi-
ton had the whip hand and that no
pressure for prompt acceptance OF the
treaty without change would be suffic-
lent to shake its determination to un-
dertake a drastic revision OF the COW
enant. ts,y !, sss,s
