Glnl LIVES AMONG PUEBL0S
EnoIish Student Writes Home of In

young woman who is deeply interest
ed in the study of anthropology and
who has taken the unconventional
course of living with the Pueblo In
dams in New Mexico, with view to
getting first-hand information in her
pursuit of knowledge, has been writ
ing to her friends in Oxford giving in
teresting details of her life among the
indians.
She tells how the Indians have
christened her 'Ta Yopovi," or "F7ow-
er of the Sedge" She lives by her
self in a little house of wood and can
vas, doing practically all her own
Homework. The Indians treat her
with every courtesy and friendliness
She finds an obstacle to her purpose,
however, in their reticence on all
matters relating to themselves.

built fire to smoke the mosquitoes
away, but it did little good. While
we sat there slapping at the pests
there came a sudden dispensing of
them. In a seconds time almost there
wasn't one of them in sight. We all
noticed it. Then, darling from side to
side and flying around the camp, came
the dragon flies, six or eight of them,
with their big, shining bodies and
tremulous gauze wings making a pref
ty picture in the afternoon haze.
AN old Indian guide who was in
the party was the first to point out
the dragon flies and tell us that the
mosquitoes had been afraid of them. A
little after the dragon flies had gone
and back came the mosquitoes. Then
after little the flies came back, a
dozen of them this time, stretched out
across the plain in line of battle Is
feet apart and each one advancing and
darting from side to side in quick
dashes. Every dash meant a mosquito
killed and eaten, and it was no wonder
that the mosquitoes fed.
ga few years ago the question was
seriously taken up at the Museum of
Natural History and at the Smith
sonian in Washington of whether it
would not pay to breed dragon flies, or
devils darning needles, as the grand
mothers used to call them, to rid the
country of mosquitoes. The investiga-
lions were called off for some reason
and never pursued.

London.-The experiences of the

The lady in question, a very well.

Former Chief of Police Francis O'NeiII
OF Chicago Has Rescued Old
Melodies.

Chicago-No. melodies are more
tuneful than Irish melodies. No songs
stir the heart more surely than Irish
songs.
No tune set the pulses leaping or
the feet dancing more quickly than
the dance music of Ireland.
Who has not been moved to JOY or
sorrow, smiles or tears by the lyric
witchery Of Tom Moore? The words
of his songs were his own, but the
music to which he set them was the
music Of the Irish race.
Irish folk music is a wonderful
treasure house of quaint melody. 1t
has been due to the indefatigable in
dustry and antiquarian zeal of former
Chief of Police Francis O'Neill and
other Chicago Irishmen that much OF
the ancient folk music of Ireland has
been rescued from oblivion.
Captain O'Neill's two former books,
"The Dance Music of Ireland" were
collections of music which resulted
from his researches. Another volume
has just been published which is an
outgrowth of his delvings in the music
lore of his native land. He has called
it Irish Folk Music" 1t sets out the
history of the ancient tunes and is
full of interesting and cosby infor-
nation about them
Captain O'Neill is a native of West
Cork, the glens of which, he says, are
O. stOrehouse of musical treasures I'd
explored by the great collectors of
Irish melodies. Near the Castle Dono-
van. his grandfather, O'Mahoney Nor,
or, as he was generally called, Cianach
Mor-his clan title-kept open house
for the wandering Ministries of his
time.
Born ard brought up in such a
home amid an environment of tradi-
tional music and song says Captain
