To heal the crack they would pro-
coed in this fashion: Take first grain
Of metal from the crevice of the bell.
Have it analysed by a board of ex-
pert metallurgists. Reproduce in the
laboratories Of the alchemist the iden-
tical metal of which the Liberty Bell
is composed. When you have the prop
er alloy you are ready to bring on the
electric needle.
Now for the process Of welding.
Fashion the new metal to be applied
into a wire or needle Of the welding
apparatus. Measure the resistance
of the bell and the resistance Of the
wire after having estimated the
amount sufficient to fill up the crack.
Now to fill in the crack. One cleo
trio contact is made on the bell and
the other on the needle that is COM
posed of the same metal substance as
the bell itself. Electricity leaps be-
tween the two points. The electric
needle Is consuming itself and depos-
/ iting its own particles within the orr
| flee Of the split bell.
1 You simply touch the electric needle
to one or the other side of the crack,
withdraw it a fraction Of an inch, and
then repeat the process over and over.
Particle by particle, layer on layer,
the process continues until the opening
Is closed.

Remember, when the United States
threw down the gauntlet to Germany
in April three years ago how the Huns
retaliated by putting out of commits

liner tied up at American wharves?
Axes were swung, explosives were
used, and intricate machinery with
which these ships were propelled was
dashed in" in the belief that the
Yanks never would be able to repair
these ships IN time to turn them

the wrecks" some engineers said 1t
would take a year or more to repair
these ships and put them back in COM

installed.
Then along came Wilson with his
electric-welding needle. 1t Is a mat
ter of history, Of course, that in from
three to four months every single Ger
man liner was ready to put to sea
again. Even while Yankee troops
were wiping out the st. Mihiel SALEM
and sweeping clean the ArgonnN
these German ships, led by the giant
Vaterland, were pouring American
men and munitions into England,
France and Belgium. Not only did
Wilson and his crew weld the Water

new, but he made them so fleet that
our gobs were able to get three knots

WAS TO BE MORE YELLING
Safe to Say That Fathers Prediction
Turned Out to Be Absolutely
Correct.

The sweetly peaceful scene in the
little sitting room was suddenly dis
turbed by a loud yell, and the honored
guest sprang wildly from the chair
into which he had just sunk, while the
daughter of the house felt her face
grow pale.
She had had hopes from this visit.
Alas, poor girl, were they to be
blighted?
But father took the matter-and his
small son-frmly in hand. With a
graceful apology he removed the bent
pin from the chair and the aforesaid
small boy from the ROOM,
"Now, look here, Charles" he said
sternly, in the back yard, "why did you
do it,"
'It-it was an experiment, father!
faltered the laddie.
"An experiment." snorted father.
"The only man who has visited your
poor sister for years, and you go and
drive him away"
"Well, dad" explained the boy,
''he advertises that he is a painless
dentist, an I wanted to find out if it
was true, an it wasn't. You should
have heard him yell?"
YES was the fathers grim COM
ment. "And some one else is going
to hear you yell nOw?"

YOUNGsTER MADE WORD GOOD
Though, as 1t Turned Out, 1t Was at
the Cost of Some Personal
Discomfort.

Marshall, who is five, lives In a
fiat building. He is real boy and
although he has rear yard and
sand pile in which to play, his mother
has more or less trouble keeping him
off the streets. A neighbor saw him
across the street one morning and the
next day called his attention to the
fact that he was out of the zone map
ped for him. He was one of the
busy ones about a vegetable wagon.
EYES," he said, II had to get some
sings" The next morning he asked
his mother for the market basket. He
Immediately disappeared and soon re-
turned, accompanied by the vegetable
man. In the basket were three pounds
of potatoes, a box of berries and two
cantaloupes. Mother had to settle
whether she needed the goods or not.
At any rate, Marshall made his word
good with the neighbor that he had
to get "some sings" When Ques-
toned by the same neighbor about his
shopping expedition he said: Eyes,
and mother spanked me. too"

IL nSo relics, has been mute
for nearly a century.
To the thousands of the present gen.
GRAFTON who have seen it in lndepend-

about the country it has been no less

For modern American science says,
the Liberty Bell may be made to ring
again as joyously as of old.
What a history has the Liberty
Bell! No wonder it is revered.
Independence hall was built as the
state house of the Pennsylvania colo
NAL government. 1t was finished in
1884 and cost $2S,OOO-regarded at
the time as an extravagant sum to put
into a public building. The bell for
it's belfry was imported from Eng
land. 1t was cast in 1852. On its
trial ringing it cracked. 1t was re-
cast In 1853 by Pass & Stow Of Phil
adelphia. Isaac Norris, Esq, speak
err Of the Pennsylvania assembly, had
charge of the recasting, and 1t was
at his suggestion that the words OF
Holy Writ were cast upon tillets
around it's crOwn-words so strangely
prophetic of the great day to come %
years later.
The old bell rang first to call the
members Of the assembly; 1t rang
[ when town meetings were held in the
state house yard; it tOlled dismally
when the stamp act went into effect;
1t electrified the people when the tea
ship Polly was sent home with its
cargo untouched, it saluted the patri-
OTIS from Boston when they sOjOurned
with the patriots of Philadelphia; 1T
sounded dirge fashion when Boston
was occupied by the redcOats under
Gage; it pealed jOyously when the
news of Lexington and Concord
reached the Quaker City, and finally,
1t changed forth as spokesman an
nouncing the birth of the new repub-
liz and the consummatiOn Of the Dec
lEPatiOn of Independence.
Cor a time it rested on the bot
tom of the Delaware river, that the
British should not find it. For many
wears after the Revolution it jOyOuSly
announced the coming of illustrious
visitors. and it tOlled in mourning for
the deaths of American patriots. 1t
rang its last in 1885 when tOlling for
the funeral of John Marshall, chief
Justice of the United States, for then
