Controversy On Bospipe IntereStinq
 Historical Data
 Furnished by Disputant
 On Origin
By THE OUT EASTER

The origin of the bagpipe is be- ing battled out in the columns of the New York Sun by an Irishman, Meagher, a Scotchman, Bremner, and an Italian, Meachairo
 MT. MeachairoS latest com- munication is so good in detail and history, we feel sure many of the readers of The Democrat will find it interesting reading.
 We therefore attach the letter, which reads as follows, to witt
 To the Editor of The Sun Sir: My attention has been called to two articles on the origin of bagpipes in the British Islands which appeared in The Sun in the past month. Both the Irishman Meagher and the Scotchman Brem- ner are mistaken, in my humble opinion.
 When the Roman legions invaded and subjugated Britain, the Romans brought civilization to the barbar- ous tribes inhabiting that island Of course the Romans never in- vaded or conquered the smaller island, known to them as Scotia Major Qreland). But the inhabit- ants of North Britain, then known as Scotia Minor, were of the same race as the inhabitants of Ireland and spoke the Gaelic language. The Romans, under their Com mander Hadrian, built wall across northern Britain from the North Sea to the Irish Sea, to keep those wild Gaelic tribesmen from inter- fering with what is now England
 The Roman legions were accom- panied by bands of bagpipers. These pipes were, and still are, four droned zambonias (drones) bass, baritone, tenor and alto. The mel ody is played on the charamel (chanter) by a second piper; then another piper plays seconds on an- other charamel. The drones have four holes on the baritone and five holes on the bass drone thus enab- ling the zambonia player to play 9 complete tune on the drones without aid of the chanter. The tone is that of magnificent church organ.
 On Christmas Eve we play in St. Anthony's Church in Sullivan Street, We play the Adeste Fedeles and other church hymns, accom- panied by the church choir, It would be impossible to do this with the Scotch Highland bagpipe, which really was invented to ter rify the opponents of the British soldiers, with its discordant screech- ings. which resemble the neigh of a horse, the moo of bull, the grunt of pig and the bray of a jackass!

Ghost Tokes Overto Evict Family Trio

Pana, H., May IT (UP) = The landlord couldn't make Ray Hughes and his family move out of their house, but a ghost" with no respect for the OPA was nearly successful
 It was 6 cold, rainy night, and Hughes and his wife were sitting in the parlor, congratulating them selves that they had a roof oyer their heads. The landlord, J. c. Da- wis, had asked them to vacate, but the OPA assured them they could not be evicted for at least six months.
 Suddenly, an eerie sound echoed through the house. 'Hoo-oo-oo," 1t went. "Hoo-oo-ooe.
 Decide to Evacuate
 The Hughes glanced apprehen- sively at the rain-spattered win dows and moved closer to the warm comfort of the fire. The noise came again, louder and closer, and Hughes decided to investigate. He searched the house and found mo- thing, but the sound continued The baby, Margaret, 4, started to cry.
 When the shrieking died down, the sound of clanking chains came from the attic. Hughes started up- stairs, but thought better of it. h. stead, he bundled up his wife and daughter, and they walked through the rain to the police station, 15 blocks away.
 Justice of the Peace Will Jordan issued search warrant, and off, cers broke the lock.
 Youths Drag Chain
 Hughes took his family to the home of 8 relative to spend the rest of the night, and police set up a ghost vigil. Their efforts were re- warded at 6 A. M. when Robert Da- wis, l9, and his brother, Harold, IA, sons of the landlord, showed up dragging long chain.
 Dad told us to get theAn out" they admitted, so we did our best"
 The boys said one of them had been stationed outside, and the other had taken the chain and hidden in the attic. The shrieking effects, they said, were achieved by shouting through an automobile exhaust pipe.
