BUYS RIGHTS TO DISPUTED SONG
McKinley Music Co. Settles Argument with
Craig Music Co. Over "I Ain't Got Nobody
and Nobody Cares For Me"
CHICAGO, I I I . , April 8.—The controversy that
has been raging between the McKinley Music
Co. and the Craig Music Co., of this city, over
the priority of ownership of the big song hit, "I
Ain't Got Nobody and Nobody Cares For Me,"
has been amicably settled by the recent pur-
chase outright by the McKinley Music Co., of
the claims of the Craig Co.
The McKinley Music Co. is to be congratu-
lated, for this song certainly created some com-
motion among the performers and the trade. It

JOURNAL PRAISES FEIST SONG
Special Cartoon and Article by Ella Wheeler
Wilcox Devoted to "Are You Half the Man
Your Mother Thought You'd Be?"
The New York F.vening Journal- for April 7
devoted half of the editorial page to a cartoon
and an article by Ella Wheeler Wilcox in praise
and appreciation of the Feist song, "Are You
Half the Man Your Mother Thought You'd
Be?" This is certainly some publicity, since the
Journal claims approximately 800,000 daily cir-
culation, with a sphere of influence pretty well
covering the entire country. The cartoon shows
a young man in evening dress sitting with
bowed head at a cabaret table while one of the
entertainers sings the song which recalls the
memory of his mother. Mrs. Wilcox's article,
after a general moralization on the building of
character, ends with the admonition, "Start to-
day and try and make yourself the man your
mother thought you'd be."
BOSTON, MASS., April 10.—The executive com-
mittee of the Boston Musicians' Protective Asso-
ciation has unanimously voted to forbid their mem-
bers playing selections in which "The Star
Spangled Banner" is but a part, on the ground
that such medleys are unpatriotic.
The committee has also unanimously voted to
establish the rule that "The Star Spangled Banner"
shall be played at the opening of all concerts, rather
than the close, as has been the past custom.
This action is due to the activities of Mrs. Laura
I. Smith, of Attleboro, senior national vice-presi-
dent of the Women's Relief Corps.
NEW REMICKJWNG ISSUED
The committee further recommends that con-
certs given by the association members in the "I Was a Dreamer, Too," by Roger Lewis,
