The historic Revere bell, one of the
city's rare treasures. will be dedicated
and placed in service tomorrow morn
ing at All Souls Church in the new
edifice at 18th and Harvard streets.
The bell was cast for the Unitarian
Church of Washington in the Paul
Revere foundry, Boston, in 1922, by
the son of the revolutionary patriot.
Because of this close Identification.
the bell has usually been called the
Paul Revere bell. and the local tradl-
tion is to this effect. The bell meas
ures 33 inches in width and 80 inches
in height, exclusive of fittings. The
estimated weight is half ton 1t is in
perfect condition and the tone is gem
orally regarded as exceptional, both
in quality and in volume.
The purchase of the bell was made
possible by the help of citizens of
Washington, the President of the
United States (James Monroel having
been a generous contributor. The
bell hung in the old Unitarian
Church at 9Th and d streets until 1878,
when it was reverently taken to the
new church at 14th and l. streets.
Since the demolition of that structure
in 1920. the bell has been in storage.
1t has now been mounted In the
steeple of the new church.

LISTENING IN ON THE RADIO

There are but few If any of the
pleasures of life denied our group
these days and even the radio has en-
tered some of our more exclusive
homes as means of furnishing en-
tertainment and recreation for the
house wife or tired business man at
the close of day. This was most beau
tifully and sweetly exemplified few
evenings ago in the Skillern home,
1904 East Twenty-ninth avenue. A
most complete radio set was installed
there at the instance of Santa Claus
during the past Christmas season,
which served a most useful purpose
during the rendition of a delightful
concert in the Alpine Rose Cafe re-
Gently. Every feature was flashed dis
tinctly, even to the announcement of
the artists, among whom was our own
Miss Vera Ward. On another occasion
a set speech by Governor Sweet was
signaled in. We are thinking seriously
of inviting ourselves to radio party
at the Skillern home some of these
moonlight evenings.
