Detroit News. Jugo-Slava Rich in Folk 8onga. Of aIl T3uropeans the Jugo-SIavs fire said to Tifive developed moBt fully the art of folk-lore narrative. Folk-poems, now a feature of immigrant life in America, constitute a strong and vivid link between modern times and the im memorial days of heathen supremacy In southeastern Europe. In this literature to which the Jugo slav immigrants give themselves there Is an interesting separation of the mas culine from the feminine poems. The former are sung always by one~ person, while his audicnce tries to memorize the words and meaning. Such poems are always epic in char acter. The feminine poem may be sung by one or more persons in unison, and Is often done by two voices, without ac companiment, and merely to pleaso the singers themselves. Ordinarily lyrical, the feminine poem may at times be an epic in nature, but it Is always shorter than the other. ? Detroit News. Slightly Flustered.

YANKS WIN THE FOURRAGERE French Decoration Given tq Organic*' tlona an Imitation of the Old Forage Cord. The "fourragere" (originally a for age cord or rope used for tying bay or grain) Is the French military deco ration for bravery.
