"Something old, something new,

Tpssel banquet Friday evening at

head is adjacent to the body, with
the keyboard being on top of the
body. Because the dulcimer must
be handmade, it is being replaced
by the guitar in the south.
The advantage of the dulcimer
is that it will produce those quar
ter and eighth tone notes that lo
not exist on the piano.
Collects Unknown Songs.
Niles collects folk songs, bal
lads, and carols which have no
known composers and scarcely any
dates of prigin. This folk music,
Niles believes, will form the base
from which America's great music
is written, just as the folk music
of central Europe served Brahms,
Beethoven, and Mozart.
Following World War I when he
was in France with the U. S. Air
Forces, Niles studied music in
Paris on a veteran's scholarship.
French instructors were delighted
with the songs he sang and called
it modal music. This type is sung
