¥ 3 =F TI TR rr Celtic Element Manifest in Ballads of Newfoundland New J Collection Contains Much 'Genuine Folk Music of Good Quality Elizabeth Greenleaf and Grace Mansfield have just published "Bal. lads and Sea-Songs of Newfoundland," The London Times says:/ x "In the most recent publication -of songs from Newfoundland too many songs are .given without their tune, but the tunes when. they are given seem to have been dceurately noted, even in cases where the underlaying of the>words is contrary to their na- tural accentuation. Irregularities of time and mode have been preserved and the words are for the most part complete. Mrs. Greenleaf explains in in excellent introduction describing her visits to Newfoundland how she - came to take up folk-song collection without any special training or experi ence, but she had the help of a com- petent musician in Mrs, Mansfield and the notes, which give very full refer- ences; have greatly benefitted from the editorial assistance of Professor Kittredge, Nevertheless, many of the songs have no place in a collection of folk-songs on even a loose interpreta. tion of that elastic designation, At the same time, folk or not folk, their in- clusion throws a flood of light on the practice of.folk-singing and on the way . that an oral tradition works in a so- clety that has not yet wholly abandon- ed it in favor of print. "There is a large Celtic element in the population of Newfoundland -- Irish, Welsh and some Scotch, 'who are ~ said still to preserve their Gaelle, though the :-present collection of 185 songs, which represents geographically only a small area of the island, im- cludes none of them nor of any songs of the French-speaking people. The Celtic way with folk-song is different from the English, which is more con- servative and keeps words and tune indissolubly associated, as Cecil Sharp slways found. Among the Celts the bardic tradition is still potent, A gifted singer will make up a poem * about current events and either sing Jt to.a tune belonging to another song that happens to fit, or will make up a tune from typical lilts and phrases that are common to the whole body of his national folk-song, thus producing a tune which is new; but not original, . original, but not aiew--the beginning of the process of communal growth, in fact, but not yet a true folk-song. | A"collector in Nova Scotia last sum- . mer found there a song composed "on the subject of the evacuation of the Island of St. Kilda. which was 'sung to her in Gaelic. : "The tunes are mostly good honest stuff, but not of any surpassing beau- ty, except 'in a few instances, such as the strong 'The Plains of Water- loo' "and 'Bold "Wolfe," a good song- whose words seem to be the product of grafting the historical exploits of General Wolfe on to a stock ballad. The 'snap' characteristic. of Scottish and - the cadence of three repeated notes characteristic of Irish folk pongs are found, as well as several "Irish reels. Taken in all, the collec- tion is a very mixed bag, containing "much genuine folk-music of good qual- a good deal of popular music of fair to really bad quality, old and new in about equal proportions, and all of it indisputably alive." PR Digs Oyster Shells In Air &wvaying perilously 250 feet above the City, or London's financial dis- trict, almost on nodding terms with St. Paul's, there is a man digging for oyster shells, What is more, he finds them. The man is a stone-mason named Iidward Hughes. He is engaged in repointing the stone work on .the top of the steeple of St, Bride's Church. Flattered. by the visit of a reporter of The Daily Express the other day, he at once assumed the character of a professional guide: "On my left," he 'said, "we have Nelson's Column; over there the Law Courts, Old Bailey," St. Paul's Cathed- ral, the Monument, the Royal Ex- change, the Tower of London, Tower Bridge and, further round the. Thames, Crystal Palace, Westminster Bridge, Houses of Parliament--and =~ your offices." 7 Sy After that _he returned to work with: 2 : "See this?" It was an oyster shell, "We dig Hundreds of these out of the . building. They were put there in 1680 when Christopher Wren was building this steeple. The shells were used in pointing, and very much more effective they were than the modern methods." wmitteao ettnintin Colorado Farmers Grow More Turkish Tobacco Denver. -- Farmers are harvesting 'and curing a crop of 30,000 pounds of Turkish tobacco, This is second commercial crop of that variely of to- bacco praduced here, ft year a small gwantity was growfl and made up into sigarettes which were relalléd locally.

They have been given permanent employ- ment by Lord Trenchard, Commission- er of Metropolitan Police, as plain- Sothes detectives in London's West End. Two of them are dark-haired, the| third is a blonde. For the past year they have undergone almost as rigor- ous a training as the male detectives. They are familiar with every branch of crime work--even to taking finger- prints and assuming disguises. - it you met one fa Pletadilly you could not say: "I bet that's a woman ing, Ro den) shoppers who throng the ghowrooms and stores, even to the. lipstick.
