installed them in his church.
Some bell authorities claim
that Pope Sabinianus gave us
the first church bells in 604.
The custom has grown until
there is perhaps no use OF
church bells so widely known
in Christian countries as the
ringing of chimes to herald
the advent of the birth of
Christ. From huge cathedrals to
tiny country churches, from the fro
zen arctic to the sunny tropics, the
bells peal forth each Christmas sea-
son an old, old story of "Peace on
Earth, Good Will to Men,"
Americas very national existence
is wrapped up in the priceless Lib
erty bell at Philadelphia, and GER
tainly no one can say that bell mu-
sic isn't the most democratic music
in the world. It's always free, I'M,
restricted to any few who can buy
tickets to a concert.
In recent years the ancient bell
has "grown up" into the carlton,
highly sensitive instrument on
which Christmas carols seem to find
their most perfect expression. There
are now more than 200 of these
instruments, 80 of them in the Unit
ed States. Similar to the carlton,
but differing in the number of bells,
tuning and arrangement of key
board, are chimes. Some of the
finest chimes hang in English ga
thedrals and spread the Christmas
message each December.
A chapter in the history of bells
may be found in the story of al
most any creed or culture. First
known in the East, they were used
by aboriginal people as ornaments.
They came down through Grecian
days and called Roman citizens to
the forums, later summoning early
Christians to worship. In the Mid
die ages they called people to arise,
guided the far-away traveller.
Napoleon loved bells so dearly he
would not destroy them, while Hen
ry VIII took fiendish delight in de.
stroying them.
Bells have made people laugh and
cry, have stirred them to action and

Turf Remuneration

HE American trotting turf, now
= that it has decided to merge all
five parent associations into one
central governing body, predicts
modern version of harness racing
that will easily surpass that of the
good old days" of SO years ago.
Looping off many hidebound re.
strictions self-imposed in other
years, the harness sport has decided
to experiment fully this winter with
handicapping horses by weight in a
saddle, in somewhat similar fashion
to running horses.
The driver will still be in the
sulky, as usual, but extra weight
will be used in saddle. This step
will do much to help keep great
American horses in this country by
providing more races for them.

Did Not Like Buttons

Once, a gentleman would rather
have BEEN shot than have any but
tons on his coat. In England, about
700 years ago, the fasteners were
only "tscandalous ornament on men
of low. degree" A bit later whole
sleeves might be buttoned, from
wrist to above the elbow. Buttons
have not always been used as fast
eners, says the Washington Post.

Use for Ancient Calendars

In the old days almanacs served
purpose, but even those who con.

rely altogether on the printed word
in preparing daily schedules. The
skies, the birds, even the animals
bore portents. If the chickens roost.

sign of rain before morning. If fire.
