American Folk SONGS.

AS yet no ballad writer has appeared
In America that rivals Kipling or the
pre-eminent Burns. The product we
have from professed ballad singers Is
mediocre. But out in the far corners
of the land there are TO be found the
folk songs, true ballads whose au-
thorship will never be known. The
course Of our national development
and the inherent romance OF the
fields and forests has inspired the or
binary Tyre to lofty songs. And the
life OF isolated communities and the
common If narrow interests of the
men who work in gangs under all
sorts Of dangers have given rise to
song and chant that SAVIOR OF the
blood. The English department of
harvard university has commissioned
John A. Lomax, associate professor In
College Station. Tex, under the Shell
don fellowship, to gather together
these typical ballads. The old cow
boy ditties, the chanteys Of the coast,
the gulf and the great lakes are what
he wants. There are also army
songs, lumberjack chants, the songs
of voyageur, miner and vagabond.
All these serve to characterize wildly
life that is passing. And it may be
that thorough search will reveal un'
suspected treasures.

BOLD ENEMY OF THE SNAKE
Unfortunately tho Mongoose Also Has
an Unsuitable Appetite for
Chicken.

1.-The loneliest living creature in the
United States is undoubtedly the mon
goose" was the statement made by
Raymond l.. Ditmars, curator of rep
tiles at the New York Geological park.
IL believe that there are but two or
three of the beasts In this country.
Mongoose society, you might say, is
not teeming with members. A mon
goose is pink-eyed, flexible-snouted
little animal, with a shape like de-
butante. He is chiefly waist, that is
to say He is partial to snakes. as a

better to say wriggly or unsteady
diet He was Sne of the original
catch em-alive-Os.' A mongoose will
kill almost any sort of an ordinary
sized snake. Most of the constructor
family, however, are too big for him.
But he's bold mite of furry crea-
ture and will tackle almost anything
In the serpent line. mongoose is
easily domesticated and in many re-
spects is quite as pleasing pet as
cat or dog.
THE single objection to him is the
fact that if he can't have his snakes
he is only too willing to subsist on
chicken. AS a raider of henroosts a
Maryland darby is neophyte COM
pared with a mongoose. That is the
reason there are SO few of him in this
country. There is federal law which
absolutely forbids the importation of
mongoose. 1t really is a pity that this
most companionable of animals has to
be barred from the country. But you
simply couldn't keep chicken in the
same neighborhood with a mongoose,
safeguard the henhouses as you
might A mongoose can go any place
he chooses. If there isn't hole, he
imagines one and crawls through 1t.
I'd like to keep one in the Bronx rep
tile house, but | couldn't afford to.
He'd dine on my rarest snakes, despite
anything l could do to prevent him"

Cradle Unfashjonable.

Cradles are going out; children are
not wearing them any more. People
tell us that rocking is unhygienic; ba-
bies, according to modern idea, should
go to sleep naturally in stationary
germproof bed, with antiseptic pillows
and a sanitized rattle. Sentiment may
save the cradle for little while, but
sooner or later it will go to the dusty
attic along with the haircloth sofa.
Maybe the infant of tomorrow will
bear up somehow under these accu-
INFLATED misfortunes, will struggle
along somehow to maturity, but what
about the artists, the poets, the song
writer's. What world of sentiment
and melody has been woven around
the theme of the mother and the gen.
tly rocking cradle! What kind OF
song will the poor poet OF the flu
ture be able to make about an
enameled iron crib with brass trim

FOR FOREIGN AIR CRAFT

In order 10 protect American aeToplane.

Treasury Department has decided 10
strictly enforce the law which allows
foreign air craft admitted 10 this country
under bond for exhibition purposes TO re-
main only three months.
A number Of aeroplanes and balloons
are now being brought 10 this country
for the international aviation tourna-
ment and the international balloon race,
and Il was feared that foreigners would
attempt TO remain in this country after
the three months period and give exhibit
tons in rivalry 10 the American aero
planes. Aeronauts from other countries
have made numerous efforts 10 secure
extensions Of this three-month period;
in fact, 10 extend il indefinitely.
Cortlandt Field Bishop, president Of
the Aero Club Of America. said last
night:
This Is. the first step taken by the
government TO protect this new industry.
and do not think that at the present
time It is 20 our advantage. The French
are four years ahead OF US in aerop.ane
building, and I think it would be a good
thing TO allow foreign models in free Of
duty. so that our designers might have
the advantage of studying the latest i'm
provements."
