NEW CANADIAN COPYRIGHT LAW
Bill Now Before Canadian Parliament Repre-
sents a Badly Needed Piece of Legislation—
Modeled After United States Statute
OTTAWA, CAN., April 10.—For the first time
the Dominion of Canada is to have a copyright
law which will give ample protection to dra-
matic, music and book copyrights of all kinds
and which provides heavy penalties for the
pirating of plays.
The bill, which is now before Parliament, pro-
vides for the new copyright law, and has

the support of the Government and of the
American theatrical interests, which have suf-
fered heavily because of lack of copyright pro-
tection in Canada. Ligon Johnson, attorney
for the United Managers' Protective Associa-
tion of New York, was here this week in con-
ference with Government officials over the new
bill and has strongly urged its passage, which
will undoubtedly be effected, as there is prac-
tically no opposition.
The Canadian law will be very much like the
United States copyright law, calling for registra-
tion along the same lines and the issuing of a
certificate of copyright. American authors will
then be able to copyright their works here in
the same manner that they apply for copyright
in the United States.
It is possible that Canada and the United
States may negotiate a mutual agreement for
the extension of a copyright obtained in either
country. It is understood that Attorney John-
son has approached the State Department at
Washington with a view of having negotiations
for copyright extension instituted with the
Canadian Government. Such negotiations would
require a long time to conclude, however, and
before they could be completed the new Cana-
dian copyright law will be in effect.

NATION THIRSTS FOR MUSIC
Thus Declares Duane Sawyer, Saxophonist,
Who Urges Musicians to Reap Harvest
How to Overcome
Slow Deliveries
The constant increasing demand for "CEN-
TURY EDITION" created through our exten-
sive advertising, plus dealer push, compels us
to urge all dealers to anticipate their CEN-
Tl'RY needs th advance NO as to protect their
customers' wishes and their own profits.
Quick deliveries cannot be depended upon,
either by express or Parcel Post. The only
safeguard is to order two or three months'
supply of CENTURY'S steady sellers and
have it go forward freight.
The loss of a sale ofttimes means losing the
customer and profit, too.

Have you a little saxophone in your home, or
are you ambitious to own and play one? Now
is the time to start in learning to play it, says
Duane Sawyer, who lives at Detroit when at
home, but spends most of his time traveling
about with his own pet captive saxophone.
"Never mind what the neighbors think or
say," he said in effect recently. "Prohibition has
come and. with it the golden harvest of the
musician. I'm a wet and I regard the
Eighteenth Amendment as a blow to the per-
sonal liberty of the American citizen, but just
the same we musicians have to thank the drys
for the busiest, most profitable season of our
lives.
"The demand for musicians and musical in-
struments comes from all over the country.
Every little cross-roads and hamlet has felt
the dance craze and they are all calling for
music.
"Therefore I am advising every one with any
music in his or her soul to get busy, master an
instrument and begin gathering in the golden
harvest. Now is the time, while the nation
thirsts."
