Bell-Ringer on Xmas Seal . Starts an Investigation The bell-ringing design on the Christmas seal this year prompted the Chicago Tuberculosis institute to seek information about bells and ringers in Chicago and Cook county. In answer came a dclig-htf ul bit of news from N[ iss Marion Huff, 6200 Sheridan road, Chicago to the effect that she has some very ancient bells. rung by the oldest ringer in the world. Miss Huff is over 80, she has been a teacher for fifty-five years and s'e venteen of these were spent in the Orient. The bells came from Korea and were found in the ruins of an ancient temple. They are at least three or four hundred years old. They arc a set of three \\"hich hung in the open air and were rung by .the most ancient of bell ringers, the wtnd. The two larger bells are six or seven inches high. Instead of tongues or clappers all three have x-shaped pieces of metal. These are suspended to touch just above· the inner edge. From them depend cut out fish of thin metal with tooled. fins, scales and other markings. All parts are most caref.ull.Y made by hand of fine bell metal snmlar to brass and pelicately engraved .. The fish ' blown lightly about by every bree~e, cause a delicate ti~1kling that sounds continuously and ts ex?ectecl to drive away . demons,. which undoubtedly include dtseases ltke tu. berculosis. This set is probably the only one of its kind in America. A group of north shQfe students who attend Lake Forest college returned to their homes December )9 for th~ Christmas holidays.
