A MUSICAL ADVENTURE
FOR AMERICA

Newspaper dispatches state that
there is a plan afoot to have a ma
tional carlton at Washington, D. c.,
as a tribute to the soldier dead.
Contact with the men and women of
Flanders has directed American at
tention to one kind Of music, vital in
the national lives of these people,
which cannot even be heard in this
country.
A carlton is made up of set of
tower bells attuned to the intervals
of the chromatic scale, usually cover
ing a range of four octaves. To attain
such range the bell producing the
lowest note must weigh several tons,
while the smallest weighs scarcely
twenty pounds. The bells are connect
ed to keyboard or to a clockwork
mechanism which causes their clap
pers to strike.
Producing music from the bells re-
duires great. skill and de1terity on the
part of the bellmaster, for he must use
his feet for the larger bells, and the
muscles of both his wrist and elbow
are brought into play in producing the
tremolando effect usually given. A
fine carlton is not the result Of a
chance molding of metal but its max
ing is as much an achievement wrought
by wise combination Of excellent ma
terial and deep thought as a Stradi-
varius. Lovers of carlton music COM
pare the tones to those of pianoforte
in delicacy and to an organ in majesty.
When touched by the hand of master
like Denyn, the wizard of Malines, the
music seems to come veritably from
the heavens and to settle in peace and
benediction over the surrounding coun.
try.
From the even rows of red-topped
roofs and the trees of the surrounding
level spaces in Malines the immense
| fiat-topped Gothic spire of st. Rom.
bauld once arose. The cathedral dated
| from the thirteenth century and has
for hundreds of years been known the
world over for the remarkable silvery
| quality of its bells. So much attention
| had been given to making it the best
| of its kind that it's bell makers gained
wide regulations and the town itself
became the headquarters of bell found
| ing.
The tower, vast and mysterious
against the luminous sky, seemed tc
dominate the city. While compelling
| the attention it stirred the Imagination
as it kept watch over Malines anG
tolled the passing of the hours with
it's hugest bell. When not attached
to the wonderful mechanism that con
trolled the ringing of the carillon, this
bell required eight men to ring it. The
range of the bells of this carlton was
great enough to admit of many diff
cult operatic selections. Today the
majestic tower mingles it's dust witt
that of the ruined city over which il
had for centuries guarded.
The carlton of Antwerp possessed
the greatest number of bells of any il
Flanders-sixty-fye. It has been sait
that from the cathedral tower on 6
clear morning 126 carillons could bt
seen.

No account of fairies is taken by

whisky to ward off fairies. Not long

with selling a pint bottle of whisky
to be consumed off the premises in
hours not allowed by the regulations.

ART IN PEASANTS HOMES

Slovak women turn from violent farm labor to delicate embroideries and wall decorations in a disconcerting manner. I walked into a little white straw -thatched peasants home in the Slovak village of Vajnory and found 8 woman in high boots and short peas ants skirt, her fingers cracked and grimed from working in the fields, em- troidering tiny flowers on a peasant waist with gold thread.
 She had chests full of gorgeously em- broidered waists and skirts and aprons and christening sheets-waists of the same sort that Austrian archduchesses bought and wore eagerly, waists of the same sort that almost every Slovak woman embroiders for her own use The white plaster walls of this wo- mans kitchen were covered with glow ing conventional designs-birds and flowers in blue and red and green and yellow She had painted them herself Practically every Slovak woman knows how to do it. She didn't take weeks and months to it, either. but slapped if on free hand in a few hours. She held brush in each hand and painted with both brushes at the same time. The re
 suit was colorful and harmonious and very beautiful. Nearly all the houses | in the village were decorated in the
 same way.-Kenneth l.. Roberts in the l Saturday Evening Post

PLAN TO AFFILIATE
 BUY SCOUTSO IF STATE

Outlining a plan by which he hopes to bring in closer relation the Boy Scout organizations in the different parts of the state, ]. E. Thompson last evening discussed his theories with a group of prominent men interested in the movement and well known scoFt- masters. MT. Thompson again T18de his offer of donating a summer camp in the White mountains and building trails leading to the camp.
 That the Boy Scouts have no uni- form program was pointed out by MT, Thompson, who made a telling plea for organization. He stated that the Phoenix. Mesa and Prescott Scouts were not affiliated and suggested that this be part of the worK carried on.
 At the boys meeting a week ago MT Thompson proposed the summer camp and made the offer more definite last night. Among those present at his home where the meeting was held were Col. James H. McClintock. Joe Y. Pro- chaska, Dwight B Heard. Dr. J. C. Norton, president of the Y. M. C. A: L. c. Snow, representing the Scouts and Scoutmasters; F. c. Reeves and F. J. Brady.

than they realize and unless this is ex- plained he will never be given credit for his action.
 The cold fact remains that the pro- duction cost of bakery goods is great CT than it was at this time last year a reduction, therefore, being out of the question unless all reductions in the price of raw materials are made. To reduce prices in the hope of lower ma terial prices is business suicide, for what guarantee have bakers that the prices will not be even higher than they were last year?"
 Then follows an analysis of the prob able costs of raw materials and the general cost of production. Though the wheat market is now low there is shortage of wheat throughout the world and undoubtedly arrangements win be made by foreign governments with American bankers for credit which will enable them to enter the Amer ican wheat market. It is pointed out that the sugar market Is unstable. That is likewise true of lard and of shortcomings. The wages of labor in
 bakeries have been increased 10 per cent within the past year.
 One of the principal ingredients in the cost of bakery products is wages and nowhere is a reduction of wages contemplated by bakers. 1 While in most lines profits were made during the war and in the period that followed bakers generally have not profited as they did in the preceding period.

 At present there is movement in any direction around the vicious circle. If there is be the elements involved make simultaneous start and they must not continue the chase too long. If prices get too low there will be nothing for wage earners: if wages too low there will be nothing to pay prices.

SATAN AND THE BARBER

Once upon a time, Satan in mortal guise enter q barber shop on earth, for there were none in his domain. After shaving Satan. the barber after the manner of his kind, began plying Satan with importunities of further ministrations. Repeatedly the barber preferred tonics of far too mighty fragrance for one who had been accus- toned to a modest sulphur and brim stone odor. And he of the clippers had the effrontery to remark on the thin ness of tl.e hair on that part of the head where his internal majesty was wont to sprout a pair of horns when not incognito.
 Finally, exasperated beyond the pow CT of even a devil to endure, Satan for got his disguise and showed the eloven hoof Under cover of the ensuing al tercation between the manicure girl and the shoe shine boy as to whose de- partment a cloven hoof came under, Satan made his escape.
 It came to pass some years later, the barber died and appeared Tn Hades. Satan recognized him and burst into a peal of diabolical laughter. Leaping from his throne, Satan seizer fam ing brand from an attendant and be- gan buffeting the barber over the head.
 "A little singeing," quoted Satan with a fiendish chuckle, will do wonders for your hair!"
 Whereupon, throughout the realm the wailing ceased pro tenn, while teeth which had been gnashing for quite a while parted to emit the guffaws Of triumph of lost souls who, too, had beer barbered in their day.
