Organist Charles F. Hansen and the machinery which plays the Second Presbyterian C hurch chimes.

“Listen! The chimes are playing,” is a phrase frequently on the lips of passersby in the vicinity <E>f Vermont and Pennsylvania Sts. y Since lasYApril, there have floated from the belfry of the Second Presbyterian Church, the hauntingly sweet peals of Westminster chimes —the same tones that Londoners hear from Westminster Abbey. They are the first four notes of the fifth measure of Handel’s “I Know That My Redeemer Liveth.” Notes Time Every fifteen minutes, the Deagan “automatic clock device takes note of the passing time, sixteen times the chimes strike on the hour, four on the quarter, twelve on the threequarter hour and eight on the half. The chimes were a gift to the church from Miss Emma Claypool in memory of her father, mother and sister. But sweeter far than the automatic striking of the chimes, are the hymns played on the chimes by the blind organist of the church, Charles F. Hansen, and who say how many hearts are touched and softened by the majestic, penetrating tones of “All Hail, the Power of Jesus’ Name?” or the gently sweet notes of “Abide With Me Fast Falls the Eventide.” Persons living a mile away from the church, say that when the breeze is right, they can easily hear the chimes. Hansen plays from an attachment at the side of the church organ and* he says of the chimes,' “I love to play them because I somehow feel that every hymn played is a message to someone, I somewhere.” Next January, Hansen will have | been organist at the church for

twenty-nine years. "When I have completed thirty years, I think the congregation, will send me to Europe for a vacation,” he remarked smilingly. "Certainly I would go alone. You know traveling about alone is my long suit. I’ve been to New York alone, and I felt safer than in Indianapolis and got along splendidly. You see the traffic is regulated like clock work, or a big machine there. It’s wonderful,” he said. Hansen was born blind and has lived in Indianapolis all his life. He is widely known over the State. “You are not afraid to cross the streets, now that aut(ftnoblles are so numerous?” he was asked. "No. no, indeed,” he answered emphatically, ‘jp,nd that’s not only because people are kind and help me. They are kind —very —most folks, but I really depend more upon my hearing and a kind of intuition.” Has Intuition “Os course, a blind person's sense of hearing gets very acute,” he remarked, “but it is this —shall we call it intuition^ —that tells most. There’s a kirid of atmosphere about Yolks —every one, and truly I feel that I know what sort of persons I talk with, aside from what they say, or what I have been told about them. I am very rarely fooled in this way. “This sort of electric atmosphere, shall we call it, is also in rooms, in houses. Why I’ve been in places, even churches, where I felt that I could scarcely breathe. Thoughts, emotions, too tense ones, have oppressed me there. I have felt tragedies —and yes, I feel when great happiness clings about homes. It’s hard to explain and some folks would

ridicule it fNinow, but nevertheless it’s true.” Hansen has never seen colors, but yet has some conception of them. “From sound tones, I can get an idea of color. A light tinkly tone, corresponds somewhat to what you call pale shades light blue and pink perhaps, and the heavy deep tones of sound convey some conception to my thought, of the dark, rich colors. “Unless they have odor, I cannot get a mental picture of flowers. They remain blank to my conception, and I think an odorless flower is not complete it should not be. But oh, the beautiful mental picture that forms in my mind when a flower is sweet and fragrant. It is analogous to loveiy thought—a sweet smelling flower. Knows 3,000 Tunes Hansen memorizes all his music. He knows about 3,00 t compositions. When anew piece comes up for consideration his secretary tells him all about the piece, its author, its name and the circumstances of its compositions, if possible. Then, bar by bar, reading from the lowest note upward, the music is played to Hansen. His knowledge of harmony, a trained memory and his interest in the composition, soon makes it a part of his repertoire. "Unless I don’t like' the piece,” he laughed. “I retain best what I like best. The only pieces that slip out of memory are those that have not interested me. The others are mine, always.” He has no favorite composer. "I love them all—all good ones, that is. The best classics are all dear to me,” he said. “Every day for Inspection, to think over Mor mental discipline, a piece came to me—always a different one,” he remarked. Hansen is very fond of the theater, especially dramas, and strong emotional plays. "Shakespeare is my favorite," he remarked. “His tragedies take place In my thought with the great musical compositions.” J Asked if he believed in the law of compensation that would be of some comfort to those who are blind—the belief that there is made up to all of us some recompense for che advantages lost to us, Hansen acquiesced. “I do indeed believe greatly in that.” "Just as I’Ve told you. I perceive and cense much that those who see do not, but of course, no one, and nothing, could make up for the loss of the most striking of the senses. As I get older I feel this more intensely. If I could Just see once—could look up at the stars and out upon everything just once, I believe I wdfcld be content," he added wistfully. OLD FOES AT PEACE HARDIN, Mont. —For the first time since the battle of the Little Horn, fifty years ago, when General Custer and the men of his command were slain by the Sioux, two hostile tribes have come to peace.

DEMOCRATS TO - LAY PLANS FOR HOT CAMPAIGN State Candidates and Central Committee Will Meet Wednesday. Plans for a militant campaign this fall will be developed at a conference of Democratic State candidates and the State centraljcommittee Wednesday afternoon at the CSaypool, according to Marshall Williams, State secretary. While sponsors of the meeting state only that the gathering will “discuss general organization plans,” it is believed the party leaders will outline a program upon the issue of freedom of the 1 State from indebtedness, raised by the Republican State organization. + Peters' View Democratic State Chairman R. Earl Peters in a recent address' took the viewpoint that the State administration only kept books for the gasoline tax money that really paid the State’s debts. There is some talk that the campaign should adopt a stronger tone toward farm relief legislation, in addition to the time-honored battle cry of tariff revision downward as the cure-all for agricultural ailments. Stump .\ctive Albert Stump, Democratic nominee for United States Senator, is in the midst of one of the most active campaigns ever waged by a senatorial aspirant. He was to speak today at Booneville, Sunday at the Southern Indiana Press Association's Nancy Hanks Lincoln memorial service at Lincoln City, and next Saturday at the dedication of the Lake James State Park at Angola.
