COW BOY SONGS.
fla>s, to Use "'}(orae Rhythm" in His
Singing.
"If the cowboy sang his songs as.
most radio entertainers sing theta,
he'd get the breath knocked out of
him," says Prof. -Newton Qainee,
head of the physics department of
Texas ,Christian 'University at Fort
Worth and immediate past president
of the Texas Folklore Society'.
"The real cowboy has to use 'horse
rhythm' in hie eingng," he points
out. "His songs are framed in the
rhythm of his working day in the
saddle."
Prof. Gaines has spent several
years on west Texas ranches, He
sings cowboy ballads as, theworking
cowboy really singe them, playing his
own aecompadiment on the guitar,
"The music of the cowboy song can
be traced by the ex:.ert musician to
popular songs of the '70s and '80s,"
Prof. Gaines says, in describing the
music of the cowboy. "Yet in almost
,very case one finds that the cowboys
have altered the rhythm and melody
to suit their pioneer experiences and
feelings.
"The rhythm of the cowboy songs
corresponds to the three gaits of the
ordinary Texas cow pony -the walk,
the trot and the tope,"
According to Prof. Gaines, the cow-
boy songs are characterized by free-
ness of expression, the persistent use
of the first person, and the soft sing-
ing of the verses:
"Contrary to popular belief," he
says, "the cowboys sang .his songs in
soft tones. His night herding songs
were always croons. Loud singing
would have Iiad a disquieting effect
on the cattle. Ninety per cent. of a
cowboy's singing was done with no
one around, so that there was no
abject in loud tones." e
TOADS AND TUNES.
Many Animals and .Reptiles Are At-
tracted by Music.
Front Nebraska comes a story
which puts in the shade all our tales
cif dogs and cats that show a liking
for music. Potato bugs had been de-
stroying crops, and it was found that
the best method coping with the pests
was by introducing toads which eat
the bugs.
It was discovered that these toads
were greatly attracted by the town
''and musie, so the band was asked td
play on a potato ranch. The toads
::`rived with appetities un.ade keener
than ever by the iusic and devoured
'the potato bugs.'
Whether the story is true or not,
it is certain that many animals and
reptiles, including sea -lions, frogs,
toads, monkeys, and dogs, are at-
tracted by music. Frogs and toads
have external ear -drums, and if
everything is quiet and a sudden
sound is made they will put their
heads on one side and listen.
Sea -lions are very sensitive. Ex-
periments at the London Zoo once
showed that they like quiet music
but hated jazz. They would come out
of the water and listen intently to
to melodies like the Moonlight So-
nata, but as soon as jazz was played
they dived under the water again.
Monkeys, too, i1 they do not appre-
ciate music, certainly stop and listen
to it, while horses can be trained to
waltz to a tune.
War on Kissing.
The anti -kissing crusade, which
started in Russia some time ago, ap-
pears to be spreading. Kansas has
now taken up the cudgels against the
kiss, "Don't kiss in crowded places
er in badly ventilated rooms," is one
of the warnings that has been issued
to the citizens of this American state.
Another is: "Don't kiss a person who
has' a chill or is fevered_" But Japan
is still the real paradise of those who
want to abolish kissing. The kiss is
in such disfavor there that it cannot
even be shown on the cinema screen.
Some day, perhaps, the anti -kiss cm -
seders will publish statistics to show
that in Japan people are much
healthier than anywhere else in the
world. That would be a big point in
their favor —if the figures could real-
ly be interpreted in this way. But
perhaps they can't; and, anyway, it
isn't likely to make -any difference.
Superhardening of Metals.
Metals oan be superhardened by
magnetic treatment as well as by heat
treatment, E. G. Herbert reports be-
fore the British Iron and Steel Insti-
tute, says a Science Srar"c•ir_r bulletin.
Magnetic hardening is accomplish-'
ed by repeatedly ehan_ing the wear -
sty of the steel, 11r. Herbert explains.

WINGRAM ADVANCE -TIME$
.WHAT HAPPENED SO FAR was nothing extra. Most of the mel-
odies were very ancient' and many
Toni Bilbeck is the narrator. He
is a fat newspaper writer who drives
a tumble-downcar' he calls Grand-
mother Page. He is in love with
Maryella, his rival being Jim Coop-
er. The three are members of an.am-
ateur dramatic group, Plans. for a
play at the •Old Soldiers' Home are
ender way. Grandmother Page has
engine trouble while Maryella is out
driving with Bilbeck, and Cooper,
passing ina big roadster, taunts hint.
After Mar ella 1 as Left Bilbeck is able
t y t
to start his car again.
The amateur players:, are to give
Pygmalion and Galatea at the Old
Soldiers' Home. In their version Bil-
beck is to act as the statue, and Mary-
ella
I
ells despairs whenhen she discos e s .his
s
bow legs. Mrs. Hemingway later
flatters Bilbeck and talks to him a-
bout the play. Bilbeck' pats her hand,
only $ to find a rough hand grasping
hint by the shoulder and lifting him
out of his seat.
The escape of prisoners from the.
local penitentiary keeps Bilbeck busy
at his newspaper work, so that he
gets away from the dramatic group.
The players arrive at the Old Sol-
diers' Home, being greeted royally
and . meeting Pilk Henwetlier and
others.
The play at the Old Soldiers'
Home is interrupted because' of a
fire, the players and veterans escape.
Riding away from the scene of the '
ill-fated play in their costumes and
overcoats the group of players is held
up by two escaped convicts, one, of
whom is captured by Bilbeck after a
struggle.
The captured thief is tied to a
chair at the Old Soldier's Holne. Un-
able to leave the home as the car
refuses to budge, the players must
tay there, ,and Mr. Hemmingway,
hearing this over the phone;'"says lie
is coming right to the :home—as he
is suspicious of his wife and Bilbeck.
Meanwhile the sheriff arrives..
Hemmingway arrives just when Bil-
beck is assisting Mrs. Hemmingway,
who has fainted, and of course thinks
the worst. Meanwhile a disturbance
is heard in the -cellar, and all in the
house rush down to it.
The Sheriff's horse has broken
loose. Meanwhile Hemmingway sus-
pects Bilbeck more and'more, andejim
were cracked. Evidently the Home
gotits records from the seine source
as its magazines.
Everyone was allx.ious to get away.
As the time approached for the rigs
to come the Women folk got on their
wraps incl. sat around expectantly
near the doir ,so as not to keep us
waiting;
Maryella had spoken to me when
she carne- front the room.
"1 suppose I ought to congratulate
you," she said, "Although I ant sure.
I: don't know just what 'onedoes say
to'. a -man who wins the love 'of a lnar-
ried woinan:" • 1.
"What are you talking about?" I de-
mended roughly,
'"Why, Jim has just told me -that he
fixed it all up for you," she explained,
innocently enough, 'He says=it is all
for the best, because otherwise Mr.
Hemmingway would probably have
shot you."
"Maybe he will anyway, I added
gloomily. What pleasure it would be
to. ,pay a fine for assault and battery:
committed on the person of one Jam-
es Cooper, alias Jim the Fixer!
The telephone rang. Every one lis-

a tragic glare at the dissolving Mrs.
Hemtningway, •
'Don't be' 'unreasonable," jim
Zooper put in his oar as .usual,` "This
is 'all for the best. You ought to be
glad to have Tom go with you. If
he's with you it is the only way you
can be certain that' he isn't flirting
with your wife."
Jini's argument carried' undeniable
weight With the distractcdhusband. 1
