Dear Sir:
Everyone who has been attracted to the stirring tales told by
the North American Indians, has doubtless had his first enthusiasm cooled
by the sight of the enormous mass of material he must wade through and
by the discovery that this material is full of vain repetitions.
Nevertheless it is safe to say that the stories which scientists have
gathered in the past twenty-five years from the Indian tribes, make up
the most representative and the most fascinating body of folk-tales we
have from any primitive people.
In order to bring this material into manageable compass for
the general reader, Professor Stith Thompson of Indiana University has
gathered in his new book, "Tales of the North American Indians," ninety-
six stories typical of such of these tales as have gained any general
currency. Here we find not only an interesting glimpse into the mind
of the American Indian but a collection of short stories worthy of
perusal for their own sake. They reflect in an inimitable way the
life of the aborigines in the days before the coming of white men.
For the more specialized student of folklore Professor
Thompson has provided a separate section devoted to comparative
notes, a list of motifs discussed in the notes, a list of his sources
arranged by culture areas and tribes, and a complete bibliography.
Professor Thompson's "Tales of the North American Indians" is
an octavo volume of 410 pagesj the list price is $6.00 a copy, postpaid. Fie shall be glad to send you a copy, with invoice payable in
thirty days, upon receipt of your name and address at the bottom of
this letter.
Very truly yours,

The charged kaons are identified by means of ring imaging Cherenkov detectors. A significant enhancement at small values of the four:momentum difference is observed in the ratio of like-sign to unlikesign KK pairs and in the ratio of like-sign pairs to a simulated reference sample. An update of the measurement of KiK:!, interference is also presented. An enhancement is found in the production of pairs of Ki of similar momenta, as compared with a simulated reference sample. The measured Bose-Einstein correlation parameters A and r are similar for charged and neutral kaon pairs. The value of the Bose-Einstein correlation strength A is consistent with unity.
