~ NE would hardly expect learned
scholars to occupy themselves with
W any such vulgar matter as jazz
l..,.s.lc. Nevertheless Walter Kingsley,
distinguished ethnologist, and William M.
Patterson, professor IN Columbia uniyer-
slty, have been investigating the subject,
with interesting results.
They report that the word jazz" as
well as the thing it stands for, can be traced
to Africa The word is common on the
Gold coast, says Mr.. Kingsley, and i'll the
hinterland of Cape Coast castle. He finds
it easy to establish the connection between
Africa and America. He quotes Lafcadio
Hearn as reporting the general use of the
word JAZZ" among our blacks in the south,
and also among the New Orleans creoles,
as term meaning to speed things up, to
make excitement. In the old plantation
days when the slaves were engaged in some
congenial festivity, and things got a bit
slow, some West coast African would yell,
"Jaz 'er up!" Then the fun would be fast
and furious.
No doubt the witch doctors and medicine
men of the Congo used the same term at
those jungle parties when the tom-tom
throbbed, suggests Mr.. Kingsley.
He defines the jazz music which has late
ly swept the country as "the delirium
tremens of syncopation," or, as one less
scholarly might say, ragtime gone crazy.
1t is very interesting, especially in view
of the statement often made that fthe only
really distinctive element in American mu-
sic is African

Anti Gardens.

1THE last two years we have called them
"war gardens" This year we may
II call them peace gardens, = or follow
the suggestion of the head of the National
War Garden commission, and name them
victory gardens.
They will serve the same purpose, what
ever their titlea purpose just as praise
worthy and appealing as that Of these last
strenuous years.
Every one Of the victory gardens in the
United States, says Chairman Pack, twill
rally to the call Of the president to help
feed the people i'll the stricken areas Of
Europe. Food is the best known antidote
for Bolshevik poison, and the 100000 gar
dens Of last year must be doubled to show
that we mean business in this great war for
food. y
The stuff raised in these millions Of back
yards and vacant lots is not going to be sent
to Europe, but it will release enormous
quantities of food for export which other
wise would have been needed here for our
own people. The victory gardens will in
sure that we can send those hungry for
eigners what they need. And that will
mean victory in as definite sense as our
war gardens meant victory last year, be-
cause If we can overcome Bolshevism with
food we shall have eliminated the greatest
peril now abroad in the world.
The Cred menace cannot thrive where
there is plenty Of food to eat. We might
accurately enough call them 'anti-Bolshe-
vik gardens"
