Cld English Bellman
Master of His Craft
A famous bellman In old England
was a wandering tinker culled John
Wnvlott. He lived In the Eighteenth
century, and was the best repairer In
England. His ways were simple. Ho
lived like any tramp, sleeping where
be could, eating what he could beg.
When ho came to a village he culled
on the vlcnr and asked If the bells
needed repairing. If they did, be used
to dig a mold In a tleld near the
church. Then he pivoted a compass
on a stake mid drove It Into the bot
tom of the pit. Around (his he built
up brick work with a tire In It. The
mold he stuffed with soft clay, bound
with calves' Imlr. When the mold was
thoroughly baked, metal was poured
In and the bell was done.
John Waylott's good sound bells
yield a single note at a time. If a bell
Is tapped Just above the curve of the
top It will yield a note an octave above
the consonant. If It Is tapped one
fourth from the bottom It will peal
a fifth of an octave, and at the three
quarter line It will sound a third of an
octave. Hut there Is still further tech
nique In English bell ringing. There
Is "hunting" and Med'ng" and 'snap
ping" and "plain !"'" and "bob triple"
and "hob nial-r," und "giandslre boh
cater" and n. OM .! n Waylett
used to say ibrt It would take Ml
years to ring a'l the climues on 1
bells at two stivi.tw voeoiid, und -nine
later mathematician that to com
plete the sounds of 'J4 bells would
taUe 117,000,X0,0xt years.

the Country," You see Congressmen
und Senators are not supposed to
know anything about the "Country''
and they generally don't, so the Presi
dent fSsues his message. He starts
out, "Substantial progress has Vrn
made during the year In national peace
and security. Kducntlon and scientific
discovery have made advances. Our
Country Is more r'ive t Its " iblems
of spiritual .1 moral welfare." Now

"Subf.tantlul." When a fellow Is go

kind of a way of r.iak'ng It look j ike
you are getting something and yet. yoii
figure It out and you are not. Hut It
was a mighty good word to ue under

we did have, we will bit a year ago.
We wasent flghtinz anybody a year
,r;o. and we are not f.ehllns anybodv

"Substantial" blame. Of course we
are nearer war than we were a year
s-n, for each itoy yo i live yon arc

Now that brings us to Security. Now

Well tliats as It should ho. Its all rlrht
to go to these Conferences. Put Us al
ways well to come homo and reload
your K" ft'r each one Is over.
Hut wo must get on down tho mes
sage. Here we been all this time on
the first paragraph. He nays that
education has made sumo nt rides.
Well Units prottv hard to siy. I
wouldent, (and neither did he) call It
"Substantial" stride. Its awful hard
to tell what education hi. Lots of our
people have loinuM a lot of things
since last year. Now whether they
was the things they ought to know
will take a lifetime to llnd out. So I
guess education has vlvnnred. Put
1 expect knowledge has gone buck
during (he past year, at least we act
like It.
Ho says that "Durlua the last U
months we have suffered with i ther
Nations from cr;:n im'.c f presston."
Yes and we hnve suffered a lot alone
too, In fact 1 would go even further
than the President snd say that we
had suffered "Sub 1!: ntlally," or even
"gross substantially." You see thats
how a lot of people try to make us feel
good Is to tell us how had somebody
else Is off. I don't know what kind of
a streak or complex It Is In anybody
I that (Ives em a kind of a delight to
I know that somebody else has lost a
' leg along with you. Sti.l If tli-y happen
by chance to bavo lest two and you
I only one, why then th!r day Is Just
complete. I doiit bcllero that I could
get much nourishment to ho starving
In a room, and hove tho keeper como
and say: "Tho other fellow has been
st, living two days longer than you
have."
They show that there Is ut as much
of everything as there ever wag and
all that. Put they
don't tell that
whdts the matter
with us Is the un
cijual division of
It. Our rich Is get
ting richer, and
our poor Is getting
poorer all the time,
that's the thing
that these great
minds ought to
work .on. Not be
ngurelng out what
the cause of this
'f lM.
Ml
depression was. but let us fix our taxes,
or eur government work, and our
whole system so we can kinder keep
It split up a little better. What we
got now It "Substantial" unemploy
ment, and that's the thing that needs
fixing. Never mind World Court, and
Disarmament, and all that Hooey.
