panied on a dulcimer, which produces a note somewhere between a guitar and a harp. For the most part, the melodies are simple and very old, but the lyrics, almost always sentimental, are quite poetic. “The Gypsy Laddie,” sometimes called “The Raggle-Taggle Gypsy,” is one of the oldest Child ballads in the English language. A Child ballad is one that can be traced to the 10-volume work of Prof. Francis J. Child of Harvard university. In 1897, he went to England and made a thorough study of balladry in the British Isles. Nearly all of the Child ballads are of ancient, but authenticated lineage. In the year 1541, all “Egyptians” residing in Scotland were ordered to quit that realm on pain of death by the Scottish lords of council. The gypsies, who were not Egyptians, of course, but migrant Indo-Europeans, had 30 days to get out. A famous gypsy chieftain, Johnny Faa, and seven of his tribe defied the order, In 1624, they were publicly hanged. The execution and final expulsion of all gypsies from Scotland made such a lasting impression upon the folk of England and Scotland who believed gypsies exercised the “evil eye” that a number of: ballads grew up around them. “The Gypsie Laddie” is one of the survivors of this ballad group. Mr. Niles got the ballad from Pete Carter and his wife, who were singing on the streets of Louisa, Lawrence county, Kentucky, in July, 1932. Pete was blind. He played the guitar and sang his to his own accompaniment, while his wife played the banjo and took up whatever collection was offered. The ballad tells the story of a nobleman’s wife who was lured away to the gypsy camp by the “evil eye.” Today in the mountains of the south, according to Mr. Niles, the superstition of the “evil eye” still persists.

Indian Princess
“MY LITTLE MOHEE,” or the’ “The Pretty Mohea” or ‘Little Maumee,” as the ballad is known throughout the middle west and west, is the story of an Indian princess and a pioneer. It is one of the classic American ballads. Mr. Niles has sung it all his life. He learned it from his father, who learned it from his father. “I Wonder as I Wander” is a carol which Mr. Niles has been
ONE OF THE MOST interesting record albumns to appear this year is RCA-Victor’s collection of six early American ballads, all of them still sung in the southern mountains. Some of the ballads are of English origin, some have no ascertainable origin—like Topsy,

when he was called to judge some women singers. The woman who sang “Lulle, Lullay” was quite unaware that she was singing the ancient Coventry carol very much as King Henry the VI and later, Kings Richard II and Henry VII heard it 400 years before.
» o # “THE SEVEN JOYS OF Mary” or “The Seven Good Joys” is one of the most popular carols of 18th century England. The number of joys in the carol varies from time to time and place, for there are from five to 21 joys, depending upon how the song is sung. ‘A farmer who attended the winter Opportunity School at Berea college, Kentucky, sang Mr. Niles a 14-joy version of the song. But the carol derives its title from the Oxford Book of Carols, which specifies that in 1850, unemployed laborers walked the snow-covered streets of London carrying shovels and singing of the “The Seven Great Joys”—to which they added: “And we've got no work to do-0o.’

Barberry Ellen
THE MOST -popular classical ballad of the English-speaking world, according to Mr. Niles, is the ballad of “Bonny Barbara Allen,” or “Barberry Ellen,” as it is called in Tennessee. In 1666, the great diarist, Samuel Pepys, heard it sung by Mrs. Knipp, a famous actress of the day. Mr. Niles believes that “Barberry Ellen” has the greatest geographical distribution of any ballad. It is found all over the United States and there are 27 known variations of the words. The ballad was published in 1740, but Mr. Niles suspects that it’s easily 400 years old. The number of verses vary from five to 20. Mr. Niles has compromised and recorded 16 verses the way he heard them sung by Henderson Mullens of Puncheon Camp Creek, Breathitt county, Kentucky. Mr. Niles sings these ballads in a high, somewhat nasal tenor which seems to be required to do them justice. His rendition is excellent. The set is extremely valuable to collectors, but it’s not purely a collectors’ - piece. These songs, among the oldest in the English language, are worth listening to.

PACK MUNITIONS FOR $13 A WEEK
That’s Briton’s Pay for Working Beside Death To Feed Guns.
Times Special LONDON, Nov. 30—In one British munitions factory, divided into
two sections, you go from a world called “dirty” to a world known as “clean.” ’ From a grimy section of whirring machines and grinding gun lathes you step into spotless “kitchens” where high explosives are prepared. It would be an ideal world, were it not for the constant threat of death. Through small bright, shining windows you look out upon protective hills which have been banked high around those outlying sheds as buffers to stop any blast from reaching the world that is “dirty.” ‘No Contraband’
Huge gates bar the way into these kitchens of explosives and before
one is permitted to enter all jewelry, tobacco, matches, lighters, chewing|
gum must be left behind. With no contraband, you proceed to a kneehigh barrier on which is written
the word “clean.”

simple, sweet tune. He heard it being sung by a woman named Annie Morgan, who was with a band of traveling evangelists. They had just pulled into Murphy, N. C., and had succeeded in creating so much fuss that the mayor had ordered them out of town. However, they pleaded they had no money to buy gasoline to get over the state line into Georgia, so the mayor permitted them to hold one last meeting to raise the needed cash. It was during this last meeting that Mrs. Morgan
Mr. Niles paid her 25 cents a performance to sing it over and over again to him while he took down the words and scored the tune. After the revival meeting, the evangelists disappeared and later when Mr. Niles searched for them, he could find no trace of
them. n 8
An Old Carol
ON CHRISTMAS DAY, 1456, King Henry the VI and his queen, Margaret, journeyed to Coventry, England, to attend the pageant of the tailors. At one point in the ancient Christmas pageant, just before the entrance of Herod's soldiers to slay the little children, the women of Bethlehem sang a lullaby. It was this lullaby, “Lulle, Lullay,” that Mr. Niles heard on Old Timers’ day at Gatlinburg, Tenn, in 1934. He was there officiating at a fiddling contest
sang this strikingly beautiful carol.

Every room is spotless. Liquid
T. N. T., which looks like strong tea, is poured into containers which might be deep dish pie tins, except
that they are deadly land mines. One room specializes in placing
a dab of smoke mixture into each
shell which, when fired, makes a black puff that shows observers where the shell burst. This smoke mixture looks like vanilla ice cream. Throughout this world of “clean” there is steam. Great overhead pipes interwine through the sheds and half way along one main pipe is the room where 4000-pound bombs are filled. Three “cooks” standing on step ladders were in the last stage of filling one of these steel cylinders. One man poured a thick yellow mixture which looked like pea soup, the second stirred it with a wooden paddle, the third tossed in with loving care objects which looked like baking powder biscuits; they
give power to this titanic explosive.
