The
Haskin Letter

A BELL tower three hundred
~ feet high, which will ring
sweet music from fifty
metal throats in eternal commen-
oratlon of the return of peace, is
the latest idea for a. peace mem
orial to be erected in Washin gton.
This bell tower project is being
pushed by the Arts Club of Wash
lngton. One of its leading spon-
sors is William Gorham Rice, who
has made a life study of bell music
in general, and especially of caril-
Ions, as the great tower chimes are
called. 1t is intended to raise FIVE
million dollars for building the
tower, for making the bells, and for
providing bellmaster of the high
est skill to play and teach this
new kind of music in America.
The promoters of the project, who
are many and of high repute, say
there will be no trouble at all
about the five million.
What is five million dollars in
America" said one of them. I'VE
can raise it with ease. OF course.
we could build and maintain a
tower and carlton for a great deal
less, but If America is going to
have bell tower at all, it must be
the greatest bell tower in the world.
This bell tower will be the highest
in the world, it wi have more
bells than any other in the world,
and it will be played by the great
est bellmaster in the world
Sweetest Music,
1T is said that the music of the
carlton is the sweetest that can
be played, and it is a music which
carries for miles and miles. Hun
dreds of thousands can hear it at
once. And II cannot be confined.
No one can be charged a price for
hearing it. 1t is the true music OF
Democracy"
This carlton project is full Of
beautiful sentiments like that. The
carlton originated and reached its
finest development in Belgium anu
in Holland, so that this bell tower
which it is proposed to erect in
Washington will be in some sort
tribute TO Belgium and to Belgian
heroism. Again, the bell tower.
say those who know, is a symbol
of democracy. The first ones were
built in those dark ages when
common men first dared to strike
against the expressions of their
overlords. They were then merely
the means of calling people to-
gether. Gradually they grew in
size, and the wonderful musical
properties of bells were discovered
and developed. First came the
chime, then the carlton.
For a carlton, it should be un-
derstood, is a mammoth musical
instrument upon which any sort of
music may be played. 1t contains
from forty to fifty bells. and each
of these has several clappers or
strikers, operated by power. The

appreciate. All kinds of tunes are
played on the big bells, popular
as well as classical. When Presi-
dent Wilson was touring Belgium,
josef Denyn played at a special
carlton concert in his honor at
Mecklin, and there The Star
Spangled Banner" was played on
carlton probably for the first
time. Those who heard it say that
the great bells made the national
song more impressive than ever
did . brass band.
War Material.
In order to make this a true
memorial of the war as well as of
peace, the promoters of the idea
are asking all of the allied gov
ernments to contribute some ma
terlal connected with the war to
be used on the construction of the
tower. Thus Belgium is expected
to contribute some stones from the
great cathedrals which were shat
tered by German guns. A bill has
been introduced in Congress ap-
propriatIng copper and brass sal
vaged from European battlefelds
for use in the making of the bells.
This, however, is more of senti-
mental notion than a practical ex-
pedient, as the metals used in the
bells must be of the purest, and it
is not known whether the war rel
les will serve the purpose.
In order to make the memorial
a truly national one. the money
will be raised by popular subscrip-
tlon as far as possible, though it
is limited that money is also forth
coming in large chunks. Every
State in the Union. the District of
Columbia, Porto Rico, the Philip
pine Islands and Hawaii will each
be asked TO raise money for the
making of one bell, so that every
part of America will be repre-
sented.
Means Good Music.
The most important phase of
the project is that it represents an
attempt to play in America for
the first time good music which is
accessible to all. Of this hnreto-
fore we have had very little. In
most European countries the high
est musical ability is to be heard
in concerts which arc free, or
which may be heard for very low
prices. Even in America.
in the turbulent little countries of
the West Indies and Central
America, nearly every city has
its band of genuine merit under a
competent director, which PLAYS
weekly in the plaza. You can hear
better music free in San Juan,
Porto Rico, than you can in Chi
cago. All of the best musical
ability in this country is tied up
by the big opera companies and
sold at from one to fifteen dol
lars seat. Our democratic
ideals do not extend to music.
The Washington times., 1919-10-25

carlton is played like an organ
from a room below the belfry, and
has a keyboard like an organ or
piano.
Many in Belgium.
In Belgium and Holland nearly
every town and city has its caril-
lon, usually located in a tower
near the center of the city and
often in the market place. The
bellmaster is a municipal officer,
usually a musician of high at
tainments, and one of the most
valued and respected of civil serv-
ants.
The bell towers usually play
few bars of music at the hour, the
half-hour and the quarter-hour.
This is done by machinery and
does not require an attendant.
But at regular intervals, usually
about once a week, a concert is
held and the bellmaster renders a
regular musical program. 1t is
said that thirty thousand people
often gather to hear Josef Denyn,
the famous Belgian master of The
carlton at Mecklin, Belgium. He
Is the man whom the promoters
Of the scheme hope to bring to
America and place in charge of
their bells of peace.
Some OF these European bell
towers are very old. The one at
Ghent, for example, rang in 1914,
to celebrate the making of peace

Bells of Peace for Washington
By Frederic j. Haskin

Great Britain after the war of 1912,
and it was planned to hold a GEN.
tennial celebration Of this event
there in 1914, but the world war
interfered.
Popular In England.
The use of the carillon spread
from Belgium to Holland to France,
Italy and finally to England, where
the carlton in recent years has
become very popular. The Eng
lish bell founders are now recog-
nized as the best in the world, and
it is with an English firm which
has been making bells for several
generations, that the promoters of
the American project are now in
correspondence. They asked for
an estimate and received one which
they rejected on the ground that it
was too modest. The English bell
makers are now understood to be
preparing an estimate for a caril-
lon greater than any now in exis-
tence. It will have fifty-four bells,
which is said to be two more than
any existing carlton contains. Its
largest bell will weigh over 10000
pounds and will probably be the
greatest bell in existence, while
the smallest will perhaps weigh
not more than twenty pounds.
II should not be imagined that
the music Of the carillon is sort
which it takes much education to

an automobile body, without injuring

A.-Our automobile expert says that
after the tar has become hardened.
1t Is almost impossible to remove II
without injuring the varnish of the
machine. When the tar is in soft
condition it may be removed by ap-
plying warm water and good BODY
soap. Faseline and grease paint cr
lard are also used.
Q.-What is the total Jewish pop
ulstion of the United States, and of

A.--The American Jewish Ye6r
Book for 1919 reports the total pop
ulation of Jews in the United States
as 2'933,314. The Year Book for 1914
