AMERICAN CAMPANILE THE records of paat ages are authority for the fact that cam paniles or bell towers became very common In Italy and especially In Kome between the eighth and elev enth centuries. Almost everybody lias iat some time seen a picture of that famous old ooe of old St. Marks Ohurcb m Venice. On the other band, campaniles are rarely seen in the United States now-a-days and yet California boasts what Is perhaps the moat splendid example of a bell tower on the western hemis phere. ( It Is one of the most-pleasing and .graceful architectural structures one can hope to took upon and Is located 'In the grounds of the University of Cal ifornia, at Berkeley. The gift of a Mrs. Bater, it cost about $200,000, ie 9Uf feet high, approximately 36-feet square and is constructed of California grau Ite, with the exception of the pyramid-ally-Bhaped top-piece which is of white marble. - . . ,c f Wlthlo the tower Is "an immense clock and a chime of twelve beautifully-toned bells. These precious bells were safely transported through the submarine-Infested waters of the At lantlc, oo their Journey from the old world, during the earlier days of the world war. These belli, also the gift of Mrs. Safer, range In weight from 949 to 4,118 pounds.

GROVE GIRL VISITS ANCIENT MONASTERY Goes Overland in Paaint Oriental Style, Accompanied by Natives of the Bast. (From Forest Grove News-Times) Dr. and Mrs. R. M. Cole of this city have just recently received the fol lowing letter from their daughter now in Turkey as a teacner ana mission ary, i Soumela Monastery, 18th Jue, 1921. My own dear Ones: Hiss DameiB and 1 are on nere for a few days' vacation, and a de lightful surprise it is proving. We came in the auto truck as far as Qevislik, and there met the Kiama kam (governor.) He turned out to be an old acquaintance of us both, as he had formerly been in Ordou, and had visited Trebizond at irregular mm tervali. .. The Va of Trebizond had tele-. phoned out to the kiamakam that we were coming,and asked him to provide us with two gendarmes (police) ior the reBt of our trio. The kiamakam fwas most cordial, and nothing would do but we must be duly introduced to various othar officials in control of this whole region. At last the gendarmes were ready. the refreshments had been served, and Oriental hospitality satisfied we were permitted to go on our way. A little further up the mountain, near a small group of houses, the two mules, (our gallant, spirited charges) were waiting. It didn't take long for the little thimrs to be stowed in the roomy saddle-bags which adorned our saddles, and soon we were jog ging up the rugged mountain road. The two gendarmes placed themBelvea one at the head and the other at the end of our little procession. It made a veritable cinemetograph series of most interesting pictures to watch our party winding in and out the hair-pin turns of the road. It was neither very steep or dangerous and our mules were sure-footed, tho leisurely, in their movements. Talking to them in Greek, Turkish or English, emphasized with the whip, had the effects of a Bpur that proved but momentary. The scenery was so wonderful in its rugged grand eur that we hadn't any desire to ar rive at our destination too soon. But our mules needed reminders that we did want to get there even tually. Two American girls attended with Orental royal care we felt as if it must be a dream too beautiful to last. Six men, four Greeks and two Turks (gendarmes) e scorted us up to this rock-bound fortress-monastery. Although I had seen pictures of the place, the reality has gone way be- vond them. We rested for our noon meal at a little Greek church where the first two monks who started this monas tery, staved for a year before they found this site. Tradition aayi that these monks had a vivid dream, way back in Athena that they must xoi low St. Mary's Icon In the direction of Trebizond. There are three of St. Mary's Icons that are thought to be the oldest (according to the Greek church). One of these is now In Cy prus, one in Greece and the other here in this monastery. These monks left all and ioiiowed the loon which was thought to have flown in this direction. There is a spot part way up the fountain where the Icon is supposed to have alighted for a brief rest, before finding or tak ing up its permanent abode in the monastery. Whether the Icon s pois ing for a brief rest o n ite way thither or not, the monks seemed to have failed to exactly locate it for one year. That led to then founding tne little church where we stopped for a brief nooning. J At length, half way up this moun tain that atands nearly 6.000 feet above sea level, they found the sa cred Icon. A veritable wilderness of trees and under-brush covered the rugged mountain side. Nothing daunted, these two faithfuls climbed some ever-green trees and from them gained a foothold on the over-hang ing roctts, and oegan tne nigging out of two rooms, largely out of the solid rock. That became the nucleus of what baa grown into this structure of eight or more rooms. Each wtnt that has bean added shows the characteristics of its own partlc-a lar age. Consequently, there is iteady advancement from Stoic crudenesa to worldy comfort and durability at the mom time. No one architect planned the whole, and ao ther whole preeenta the oddest collection or group of rooms tucked in at all angles and heights. The doors of the earliest rooms are so low that we had to almost double up to get inside, and the windows scarcely admitted enough light to see by, to say nothing of reading. The new guest rooms, on the con trary are large, and lined with "win dows suiting even the taste of those strange people called English and American, who actually want win dows open at night! We were ush ered into the very best room in the whole establishment, and it's no less than 20x25 feet, and has a fire-plac as writes a stove. It has a divan about four feet wide, on three sidesJ of the room, and it is covered with a heavy material evidently from Europe. A carpet also from abroad, covers the floor. Before the war this monastery had unlimited wealth in its own right. But during those troublous times it was twice robbed by soldiers of. the land, .and once by Russians. But far more interesting to than the indefinite supply of rugs, mil- ver and gold plates that are no mji but m the memory of the oldest monks, is the collection of ancient parchments that still remain. I cant helo but wish that our friend. Dr. Rendoll Harris, English professor and lecturer, might have a chance to brouse around in their quaint old library. There surely would be facts of great historic interest, as this monastery dates back to 386 A. D., and many of these parchments and old books date back from seven to eight hundred years at least. The dates are eiven on a number of the parchments and the book" bang bound, hand-written on parchment, are treasures museums would go far to find, oven the old guests are said to be of parchment. Whether that is true or not, they look as if they had come into existence along with the monastery. One of the Greeks who came up here to escort us, and incidentally to visit his fam ily, has been searching long for any English or American names in the guest books. He fou)ndj two Eng lish who stopped here years ago, on their way from India and Persia to England; Mr. and Mrs, Gatons, our British consul and wife, before the war, ami two American consuls, Mr. Heizer and Mr. Jenkins. So it looks as if we are the first American girls to visit this lovely spot, and we are feeling sorry for all who haven't had the wonderful experience of even a brief sojourn in this uplifting spot. The naintings on the outside wailB of the old chapel, cut -out of solid rocks, are said to be two hundred and fifty years old. They have the stiff ness of early work, but are unusually well id re nerved in spite of exposure to tne weatner. in no uncertain terms there is pictured where the good will go, and also, the other place..
