ORIGIN OF DOOR-KNOCKERS
Ample rroof That They Antedate
Western Civilization by Many
Hundreds Of Years.

The origin Of door-knockers is al
most lost in obscurity, and their devel-
opment from mere articles Of utility 10
objects of art has been a long, slow
process Of evolution covering centu-
rles and antedating western CiviIiza-
ton by many hundreds Of years
The first general use Of knockers
that + positively known was among
thr ancient Greeks, who probably
adopted them from the Egyptians. We
are told that the Greeks considered
it breach Of good manners to enter
Il house without warning the inmates,
ana that the Spartans gave this notice
hN shouting their arrival, while the
Athennns announced themselves by
using the knockcr. Its Introduction
doubtless came at the time when doors
superseded hangings, for the purpose
or insurlng greater safety or privacy.
In the Greek houses of the better
class porter was in constant attend
auce at the door to admit visitors.

Shlrking the mOnotony of ,he duty.
ana IN order to awaken thea a short
bar of Iron was fastened to the door
ny chain, to be used as rappor by
those desiring entrance to the house.
II Is said that this strictly utiliar-
an rapper, as ii was first called, was
often wrcnchcd from the door to be
used as q weapon of ofcnSe by visitors
who were not friendly disposed toward
the householder. A later DEVELOPMENT
was q direct consequence of this mis-
use, the next type being In the form
of heavy ring fastened by strong
clamp or plate to the door, thus scrv-
ing the double purpose Of kuocker and
handle.
From Greece the custom was trans
ferrcd to the Romans. and with the
western trend of early civilization TO
nearly every country Of Europe. The
Introduction of knockers to England
where together with Italy and Ger
many they have attained the greatest
artistic development, WAS no doubt due
to the Roman conquest of western Eu-
rope and Britain. Architecture.

VIOLIN ALWAYS THE SAME
That Tuneful instrument Have
Not Been Altered.

Even in this age of hustle and
change some few of the old standbys
remain unchanged, but at that it is
rather startling to realize that the vo-
Lin probably the best loved of all mu-
steal Instruments, has remained virtu-
ally unchanged in shape or substance
for three centuries, In that time the
larrsiChord lutte and spinet have pass
ed away, the harp has been improved,
the piano has been invented and de-
veloped, but the violin, which took a
hundred years to assume its present
form, since the days of the great Stra-
dwarf, the worlds most famous vio-
lin maker, has remained unchanged.
The violin is popularity supposed 10

its beginning back in the days of the

called violes or guital iiddlcs. And as

walks. Some VISITORS apparently awed
by the congestion of the thoroughfares
in Paris, decided to return to their
provincial homes Immediately, and the
st. Lazaire station was crowded during
the evening with disappointed visitors
who were returning to their homes.
While the crowds on the boulevards
were as dense as on armistice night, the
spontaneous enthusiasm of November
II was missing. Groups were dancing,
singing and striving hard, almost pain
fully. to enjoy themselves, but the ma
jority of the people were merely look
ing on from mere curiosity. Perhaps
the presence everywhere of legless, arm
less and blinded soldiers proved de-
terrent to the enthusiasm of the throngs.
Scene Of Joy and Sorrow
While youth and beauty danced a
far different scene was enacted near the
Arc de Triomphe, in the vast Place de
la l. Etoile. All the evening and until
late at night seemingly endless line of
somberly clad persons filed slowly and
silently before the huge cenotaph on the
shadow of the arch. This sad pro-
ccssion was composed of families of the
dead,
Vast crowds of spectators were held
back by the police while the procession
enacted this pathetic ceremony. This
respect for the dead, strong trait of
French character. seemed more solemn
for the quiet that prevailed over such
a great crowd.
In the dusk Of the evening search
lights played on the cenotaph and clouds
of incense rose from great urns on each
side. Mounted republican guards, sit
ting on their horses like statues, held
torches. Through the night they kept
their vigil.
NJ. Raux, prefect of police. threw a
damper upon the greedy satisfaction of
the renters of balconies when he ruled
that the proprietors would be respon-
sible for the safety of spectators huddled
upon vantage points, some of them un-
tested and regarded unsafe.

disarmament for the consideration of
the governments. which plan is not
binding upon any of the states until ap-
proved by that state. Under our
government. the proposed plan to be
effective in binding us must have the

power of raising armies and cquipping

Support for Article Y
Under Article y each member of
the league undertakes. first. to respect
the territory integrity and political in
dependence of all other members of
the league. When the nations of the
world. sobered by sorrow and suffer
ing. are willing to raise their hands
and take this solemn pledge, are we
sullenly and stubbornly to stand aside
and become a stumbling block in the
way of this noble achievement? Do any
of them have possessions that we view
with coveteous eyes and propose to
seize and annex?
THE second obligation assumed by
each member is to preserve as against
external aggression the territorial in
tegrity and existing political independ-
ence of all members of the league
This was a natural corrollary from the
first. In the former we undertake not
to rob our Associates ourselves, and in
this we agree not to permit others to
do so.
"This guarantee of territorial integ-
rity and political independence is lin
tied to those cases where they are
threatened or attacked by external .ag
gression. and does not apply to revolu
tion within nation. A nations in
ternal affairs are left undisturbed. Ma
tionality. with its vital stimulating
patriotism, would be preserved given
new life and opportunity.

sively settled by the provision allowing
any member to withdraw. No nation,
super or otherwise, ever thus expressly
provided means for its dissolution.
This covenant, il ratified by the
Senate, would be no more nor less than
treaty legalized under our constitu-
tion. The plan for the formation of the
league is skillfully conceived, and the
only one possible under existing political
conditions.
THE assembly of the league will be
composed of representatives of the mem
bers, who will be selected in accordance
with the laws of the respective states.
In the case of the United States, the
representatives, being officers created by
treaty, would be appointed as provided
by an act of Congress.
Defends Equal Representation
Much opposition has been urged be
cause a great nation like the United
States has only one vote in the assem- =
bly,. But what difference does the num-
Der of votes make, when upon all i'm
portant matters the action of the as =
sembly must be unanimous, or have
the unanimous concurrence of the coun-
ell, upon which the United States is
permanently represented?
''The league could never be organized
on any basis other than that of equal
representation. If members were ac-
corded difference in representation, upon
what basis should the apportionment be
made? If upon population, China and
India would dominate the league and the
United States would have only one
fifteenth Of the number. If based upon
wealth and military power, the situation
would be equally as uncertain and un-
satisfactory. .
