school. Mothers explained that school was so attractive these days, they couldn’t p(t their children out to play in their own yards before school and expect them to stay there. They went to a school instead of Saliying in the yard and often arrived before the patrol boys and thus before they could safely cross the streets to the schocl. The School Board agreed fo the bell idea, with two reservations.-The bell must be of a .size that could safely be installed in the cupola, and it must be of suitable tone and range. In fact, the Board decided that before it could be approved, the bell would have to be brought to a board meeting and “pinged” for tone before the critical ears of the members.

So far so good. All the P.-T. A.

now had to do was get a bell. It was discovered by the investigating coms4

mittee, Mrs. H. T. Perty, 207 Blue]

Ridge Road, and Mrs. George H. Denny, 4617 Sunset Ave., that new bells cost a great deal more money than was available. They turned their attention -to bells that might be of no use to! their owners and which therefore might be acquired at no cost. Ale most right away they thought of the Fire Department. They were told at the Fire Department by Chief Fred C. Kennedy that the Department once had bells on. No. 6, 8 and 12 Engine Houses. One of the bells was too heavy, one of the suitable bells had been given to a church years ago, and the other should be available. The one that remained would “be suitable, Chief Kennedy thought, and he had a conference with A. B.| Good, schools business manager, about it. It was arranged for him to look up the bell and, jat some suitable time, bring it to ‘a board meeting and ping it for approval. But the bell is gone. Chief Kennedy said he had an idea some politielan had if and that it will show up during the campaign as a noisemaker in a political parade. Chief Kennedy is so sure it will ue up that way that he is persongoing to cast a weather ear for it when the political pot begins bojling. It may be that the ‘members of the P.-T. A. will do a little nonIt seems to be the only way the school will get a bell.

In addition to meutrality worries, Sweden, Norway and Denmark view with alarm the cumulative effects of the European war on their trade and shipping, which is essential to their existence. They look for severe hardships in a long struggle. Finland is concerned with reconstruction and the chance to rebuild her shattered life free from the further menace of war.

Nevertheless, trade with both belligerents - continued -at- about the same level as before the war, although the total cost of imports rose because of higher prices and freight rates’ and the increased stocks needed for defense. Currencies remained stable against the dollar, although the gold and foreign exchange reserve has been depleted. Along with its neutrality policy, Sweden has made extensive preparations for passive resistance in case of need. She inaugurated a wide system of air raid precautions, building hundreds of bomb proof shelters in congested areas, as well as strengthening the coastal and northern defenses. Scandinavian efforts to maintain neutrality were underlined early in the war by the Oct. 18 meeting of the three kings in Stockholm, but became more difficult as the war
