Bells Of St. John s Heard in Watertown
 Episcopal Chimes, Used for Three
 Quarters of Century, Still
 Summon Worshipners
l1nrnon Worshippers

The pealS or the l DeuS aC SC. Johns Episcopal Church, it has been ofticiany reported by author ities of that parish, have been heard as far distant as aWtertown.
 The chimes, consisting of 10 bells, were the gift of Gordon w. Burn ham in December of 1871 and were one of the features of the church when it was restored after a devas- tating fire in 1888. On Februay Is, 1872, the vestry formally acknoW- ledged this generous gift.
 The chimes were made by the Meneely Bell Company of West Troy, N. r., which company is still making excellent bells and chimes.
 10 Different Notes
 The bells are toned to 10 different notes on the musical scale and each bell carries an appropriate Biblical inscription.
 They are as follows:
 (which weighs 2.520 pounds. My
 mouth shall show forth thy
 praise"
 F Sharp = which weighs 1,780
 pounds. "Glory to God in the
 highest and on earth peace" E-which weighs 300 pounds. And
 the spirit and the bride say
 come, and let him that heaTeth
 say come"
 c Sharp - which weighs 1,250
 pounds. Young men ad 1latd- 7 ems, old men and children praise the name of the Lord" A-1,O80 pounds. 'Hearest thou ... what these Say?" ,rs. B-840 pounds. Let everything that
 hath breath praise the Lord.' c Sharp-62O pounds. % come let
 us worship and fall down and
 kneel before the Lord our
 maker" D-514 pounds. Lift up your hands
 in the sanctuary"
 D CSharp-47 pounds. T was glad
 when they said unto me, we will
 60 into the house of the Lord" P Sharp-250 pounds. "To tell of
 thy loving Kindness early in the
 morning and of thy truth in
 the night season."
 The bells were given as mem orial to the fourth Bishop of the Diocese of Connecticut, the Rt. Rev. John Williams, who was elected to this offlce at convention in St. Johns Church here, June Il, 1851.
 Diat0nic Intervals
 The Meneely Company which manufactured these bells gave the made the following statement:
 "A chime Is set of bells so att tuned that the notes follow each other at diatonic intervals: 8 peal is a set attned to harmonic inter vals. Thus 6 set of bells upon eight notes of the scale is a chime; a set upon the first, fifth, and eighth is a peal.
 The smallest number of bells that may be said to compose 8 chime is five, while what might be called the natural number is eight-represent- ing the eight notes of the scale; but as the addition of an extra bell giv- ing the note of the flat seventh cre- ates new series of diatonic tones in the key of the fourth, thus al- lowing music of two different keys to be played, this bell is usually added to the octave, SO that a full chime Is now understood to consist of at least nine bells.
 The usual manner of mounting chimes in this country is to swing the tenor Cor largest) bell after the

manner of an ordinary church bell, the others being suspended station arily from trusses and placed in such relative positions as the con- strction of the belfry will admit. Attached to the clappers are leather cords which are led by pulleys and rods to the ringers room below and are there conencted with levers which may be easily manipulated by one person. This differs from the old English mode in that the latter requires that each bell be swung, thus requiring ringer to each as also a tower of great cap- acity and strength
 At the time of their manufacture there were only two sets of chimes made by the Meneely Company which exceeded this set in number, and only five which equalled 1t.
 Father Succeeds Son
 The present chimer is Robert Parsons. While he was serving with the Army his father, Alvah A. Par sons, and Sterling Strassner played teh chimes.
 Among the men from St. Johns Parish who have served as chimers during the past 50 years are: Ro- bert Crossland, Robert flanagan, Earnest Gladding, Royal Merwin and Roy Bywater.
 After being used for three quar- ters of century these bells still call worshippers in old St. Johns Church which traces it's history back to the days when it was c small mission in 1732.

HOLLYWOOD, May 17-J could have made lot of money about a year ago if I'd been Shrewd enough to back my hunch that Lucille Ball meant exactly what she said. She and Desi Arnaz, after four scrappy years, had reached the verge Of di. vorce and then, at the last moment. decided to give matrimony one more try. This time" Lucille said to me in discussing their reconcile iation plans, I'm going to make the success of our marriage my No, 1 concern
 Knowing Miss Ball, should have dashed out then and there and of- fered bets that she and Desi would regain happiness. Hollywood wise- acres, recalling their frequent bat ties but lacking my inside informa. ton, would have given me odds of 10 to one.
 Seriously, I'd be willing to gamble on the success of many Hollywood marriages if the actress wife would make the same declaration of pllr- pose that Lucille made-and mean 1t. Our fantaStically high divorce

o. How often should the litter in
nv broiler house be changed?
A, It should lie changed when it
becomes damp or when a contagious
disease breaks out. Usually addi-
tional litter should be added every
few DAYS to shallow covering plac-
ed over the floor before the chicks
arrive. After each brood of chicks,
of course, the broiler house should
be thoroughly cleaned and disin-
fected, and ne~ litter should be pro-
vided.
q. Do dairy COWS need much salt?
A. The amount of salt dairy COWS
need is almost entirely an individ-
nal proposition. The amount will
vary with the size Of the cows, the
tyne of ration, and the amount of
milk produced. In addition, some
COWS seem to have q special appe-
tite for extra salt. Milking rations
should contain 1tc salt, but block
salt should also be available for the
COWS to eat according to their in
div1dual desires.

ter, and send her weaned litter to
the fattening lots and finally to
market twice a year. This high
rate of production has been made
possible by a ftae, well-balanced
program of good breeding. sound
management, careful sanitation, and
good feeding.
@. What is the average length of

A. About iail years. although dogs
have been i:ir1Wn to live to tine age

equivalent ID about z years of hu-
man life.
@. How much range is needed
