 They were used in China, Japan. Assyria and Egypt at a very early period of their existence as nationt and long before they were known In Europe. Bells taken from the tomba of the PeruUans and some small ones brought by the trading canoes of h. dians to Columbus at Cape Honduras show that they were known in Amer. lea before it's discovery by Euro peans,
 Fletcher, in his Notes on Nineveh,' says that there was an oriental writer, Dionysius Bar salabi, who wrote several theological works. one of which contains a curious disquisi- tion on bells. In this he ascribes their invention to Noah, saying that sew eral histories record a command giv- en to that patriarch to strike on a bell three times day to summon the laborers to their work of building the ark. and the thorough Knowledge pos. sessed by the ancients In the working of metals render such statements not. altogether absurd.
 At first they were very small, and it is generally conceded that large bells did not come into use until after the dawn of Christianity. To Paulinus, Bishop of Nola in Campania, is gen, orally given the credit of their in- vention, about the year 400 A. D.. but other authorities claim that it Is to Babinianus, who succeeded St. Gregory in the papal chair in 604, that this distinction really belongs. land the church bell had become sui f1elently common for orders to be is- sued to have the priests toll them at, appointed hours
 The earliest bells were probably not east at al. but were made of pieces of metal riveted together, and dit- fsred widely in shape from those of the present day. No records of very early bell founders have come down to us, and 1t is possible that this art, like many others which were exer- cised chiefly for the furnishing and adornment of the church, was at first practiced almost exclusively by the eeelesiasties themselves.

 Among other things Sir Henry Hadow says in his introduction"
 Everyone knows how much M. Dalcroze has done for the service or musical education; with what skill, devotion and insight he has laid down the principles of his art. and shown the way of carrying them into practice. He has done more than any man living for the study of rhythmic beauty and in his work he not only explains his method but shows us how it can be carried on and extended"

.wOODEN CROSSES"

By Roland Dirgelles. G. r. Putnam
 Sons, Publishers, New York City,
 The hands of romance have laid the laurels of fame upon the young head of NJ. Roland Dorgeles, French novelist of remarkable promise. All France today is talking about the vivid and light-hearted narrative of a French infantryman's life at the front, "Wooden Crosses" for which he has been awarded the "Femina" literary prize.
 Wooden Crosses" was written in 1918, but the French censor refused to allow its publication until last spring. The censor alone knows why wooden Crosses" is infinitely su- perior to "Under Fire" by Henri Barbusse, who was awarded the Con- court prize.
 Roland porgeles' work does not minimize the mud, the monotony, the hardship, the fear or the danger. Bat it Is full of those humorous incidents which illustrate the verx essence or French character.
