WELSH TUNES HAVE SURVIVED
Traditional Melodies Still in Use,
Though They Have Not Been
Committed to Paper.

Traditional Welsh music has found
place in the services of the Roman
Catholic cathedral at Westminster
The attention of DR.. r. d. Terry. the
organist of the cathedral, was drawn
to the tunes some years ago by David
Lloyd George. AT service of benedic-
ton recently the 20 Salutaris hostia"
and the "Tantum ergo" were both
sung to ancient Welsh melodies. The
tune used for the latter is one of the
prime minister's favorites.
"These old tunes have been wonder
fully preserved" Doctor Terry told
London Daily Maib reporter "Many
of them date from the pre-Reforma-
ton periodI For centuries they were
not written down. but they were saved
by the Welsh genius for unaccom-
panied singing. They were handed
down from one generation to another.
MANY of them have been recovered
and published in Welsh hymnals, but
unhappily in too many cases their
harmonies and even their melodies
were revised in accordance with the
musical ideals Of the last century.
"It is still possible, however, to
hear them sung in all the beauty Of
their original form in remote Welsh
villages, and intelligent Welsh mu-
sicans of today are realizing how
very much more beautiful these old
versions are. DIR. Walford Davies, a
Welshman who is now professor Of
music. at the University of Wales,

HOW:

T. INV -
PRIMITIVE RACE MAKES
USE or FIRE STICKS"
--Irar in the interior of New
Guinea-behind the rolling surf,
Beyond the mountains--lives a
race of pygmies. They are
chocolate-colored men, barely
four feet seven inches in height,
but they are well proportional,
aud bear no signs of deformity
or dwarfism. "Tapiro" is the
name of the tribe to whichthey
belong.
This tribe has its own villages
and its own plantations. Their
dress is grass heime; with up
right rims and projection at
the crown in which 6 bird Of
paradise plume is usually worn.
This hat, with bright, yellow
gourd suspended by 4 string
about the waist, is th,il sole
costume, writes Temple Manning
in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
But over the shoulders of each
man is hung bag made of
string. 1t holds fishing tackle
and fire sticks. Thus the men
are always provided with food
catching utensils and the vital
sparks with which to start a
fire to cook what they catch.
The fire-making implements
are two in number. One is a
stick of hardwood, the other
rope" of rattan. A cleft is
made in the stick, and a stone
is forced into the cleft to keep
the sides apart. The firemaker
places one end of the stick be-
meath his foot and the other
end of the stick over a bunch Of
dried leaves. Then he places
the rattan rope beneath the cleft
stick and grasps n with both
hands.
Working the rope back and
forth as rapidly as his hands can
move, the friction of the rattan
against the sharp edge Of the
wood causes ignition. The
leaves begin to smolder,. and he
blows them into a fame.
1t isn't a speedy process, but
it is sure. For generations be-
yond memory these pygmies of
the forest-covered hills have de-
pended upon their fire sticks for
cooked food and for heat.
