About these points volumes
have been written, and in so
short a time ouly a glimpse could
be had.
At Jamestown was the first
permanent English settlement,
early in the 17th century.
Williamsburg, once the capital
of Virginia, is noted in numerous
ways, intimately connected with
America's early history. Its res
toration as it was in Colonial
days by John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
adds vastly to its interest. It's
the home of William and Mary
College, one of the earliest col
leges on the Western continent,
established in the latter part of
the 17th century.
And Yorktown on Oct. 19,
1781, saw the end of British do
minion in the United States when
Lord Corn wallis handed his sword
to Gon. Washington.
The visitors enjoyed their visit
to these historical shrines though,
they ouly took time for a glimpse.

Early Pueblo People Had
Their Balanced Rations
At a time when our own Nordic
ancestors were living chiefly on
half-cooked or raw meat, ignoring
the necessity of eating plenty of
spinach and fresh fruit tc make
them red-blooded and strong, the
Pueblo people vyr all about bal
anced rations *dl<fere thriving on
a variety of omMous foods, de
clares a writer in the New York
Times.
Yellow corn was the staple diet;
yucca fruit was utilized, wild honey
and sweet saps were excellent sub
stitutes for sugar, and beans were
so important as a ration that the
Spanish name for bean, "frijoles,"
persists today in the name given to
one of the most famous cliff
dweller ruins of New Mexico ?
Frijoles Canyon, in Bandelier Na
tional Monument, some seventy
miles beyond Santa Fe. There
were also squashes, edible gourds,
bulbs of the Mariposa lily, and
other roots ; berries, pinon nuts,
and the seeds of certain grasses
which were ground into meal in
the stone metates, or grinding
basins of hollowed stone, pounded
with a stone pestle or manos.
For salt, to be sure, the Puebl*
dweller had to travel long dis
tances, securing it through mining
or barter. Even today the scarcity
of salt in some of these remote
Pueblo villages is the occasion for
seasonal trips to distant points for
supplies of the mineral.

1939 World's Fair
Has New ideas About
Amusement Features
NEW YORK. (Special).?' "Only seeing
will be believing," sayi President Grover
Whalen of the New York World'! Fair
1939 Corporation, u ha trie* to envision
what the Pair Is planning, more than two
Tears in advance. In the way of facilities
for recreation, entertainment and amuse
ment.
Every man. woman and child In the
United States, he says, has an Interest la
the 1939 Fair and to some decree or other
has a part in the building of that Fair.
The exposition, therefore, will surpass
all previous fairs; not only in the demon
stration of the wonders of the world or
present-day life and in the projection of
the World of Tomorrow, but also In pro
viding the utmost variety of entertain
ment and amusement for every man.
woman and child.
The entire world will be tapped tor ev
ery amusement possibility. The tiresome
mediocrity of stunts and side shows ?
the stock-in-trade relics of the amuse
ment world of yesterday? will give way
to a new and modern standard of ex
cellence. The plan of the New York
World's Fair has anticipated the re
quirements for entertainment and is
making them a part of the genera]
scheme of the Fair, rather than allowing
them to spring up as an appendage or an
afterthought Even the tiny children will
have a playground reserved exclusively
for their oifij use.

CARILLONS TORN BY
WAR BE1N6 REBUILT
Melodies Heard Again Over
Homes in Belgium.
Washington. ? Melodies ring out
again ovar rebuilt home* la Dtr
mude, Belgium. A new carillon
recently Installed there replaces
one destroysd along with practical
ly the entire town, during severs
Bjhting in the World war.
"Mads of copper and tin, caril
lons have more than once been
selzsd in war times and melted
down into cannon," says the Na
tional Geographic society.
"Belgian carillons destroyed or
carried away during die last war
include those at Yprei, Louvain,
Dinant, Nleuport, Ostende, Roulers
and Thourout, while France lost
those st St. Quentin and Arras.
Many of these have been recon
structed, notably the splendid ones
at Ypres and Louvain, for once
accustomed to a carillon's lively
music, no town in Europe would
willingly be without it
Built Hage Towers
"Carillons originated in Belgium,
the Netherlands, and northeastern
France. In lowlands stretching in
land from the North sea, towns
built towers that soared above the
surrounding plains. From them
sentinels could watch for invaders
or breaking dikes. At the begin
ning of the World war a telephone
connected the carillon tower irf Bri
elle, Holland, with coast defenses.
"As huge clocks were added to
these towers in the Fifteenth cen
tury a large bell was struck to an
nounce the hour. Later, small
bells were rung to call attention
to the striking. At their merry
chiming, townsfolk swarming like
ants in the marketplace far below,
would pause and listen for the sol
emn booming they knew would fol
low.
"The small bells usually num
bered tour. Cities began to rival
each other in adding more and bet
ter bells until brief melodies could
be played. In the Seventeenth cen
tury the present form of carillon
was reached, consisting of a num
ber of bells attuned to the intervals
of the chromatic scale, usually cov
ering a range of tour octaves. The
bells, ranging in weight from a few
pounds to several tons, are hung in
tiers one above another. Unlike
bells which are rung by ropes and
swing freely, carillon bells are usu
ally hung 'fixed,' being bolted to a
framework of steel, or wood and
iron.
"Carillons are played either auto
matically or by a carillonneur. The
!few clear notes that sprinkle down
from a carillon at the hour, half
hour, and quarter hour, are usually
played automatically by a clock
work mechanism something like a
gigantic music box. Hundreds of
pegs set in a huge revolving cylin
der trip levers which in turn pull
wires that make hammers strike
the bells. "Lange Jan" in Middel
burg, Holland, is one of the busiest
of this type, playing a few notes ,
every seven and a half minutes.
Plays Like an Organ.
"When keys and pedal keys con
trolling the bells are gathered to
gether in a keyboard, they form
part of an instrument which a car- I
illonneur plays like an organist, us
ing both hands and feet. So stren
uous is the art that many carillon- '
neurs play in track suits and san
dals and protect their hands with
leather pads.
"In the Low Countries, carillon
concerts are frequently given on
market days, Sundays, holidays
and certain evenings in summer.
On warm nights one is apt to find
traffic in cities diverted while thou
sands congregate in a public
square, watching a glowing window
far up in a tower. Prom it an un
seen player floods the air with mu
sic. The vantage point from which
to enjoy a carillon concert to its
fullest is a quiet place about 600
feet away.
cannon towtri are a aeugnt to
the eye as well as the ear, many
of them being of matchless archi
tectural beauty, 200 to 300 feet
high. At Amersfoort, Holland,
Stands one popularly called The
Mother and Child' because of a lit
tle spire springing from the main
tower as if carried in arms.
"Carillons have long adorned
churches and public buildings.
Since the World war they have also
been chosen for soldiers' memori
als. Between 1924 and 1933 the
United States installed over 30 car
illons and Canada over half a doz
en. Noted carillons in the United
States include those of the River
side church in New York City, the
University of Chicago, and the Bok
Singing Tower in Florida.
"St. Rom hold's in Malines, Bel
gium, is the finest of the ancient
carillons. At Malines also is lo
cated the famous School of Caril
lon Instruction which has trained
many of the world's master caril
In the "nifty nineties," most
United States senators wore Prince
