15c INTRODUCTORY 15c
The recently formed Song Writers' Protec-
tive Association, commonly known as the "song
writers' union," appointed George W. Meyer,
Gene Buck and Joe McCarthy as a committee
to represent their organization for the purpose
of conferring with the Music Publishers' Pro-
tective Association in an endeavor to adopt a
standardized contract for general use. A pre-
liminary meeting has already been held with
E. C. Mills, chairman of the board of directors
of the Music Publishers' Protective Association,
and the proposals received at that time are to
be placed before the next meeting of the music
publishers.
LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER "WHISPERING"
"Do You Ever Think of Me?" Newest Feature
of Sherman, Clay & Co. Catalog
"Do You Ever Think of Me?" which was
added to the catalog of Sherman, Clay & Co.,
of San Francisco, some time ago, has shown
some indications of repeating the firm's suc-
cess on "Whispering." It has been recorded
by practically all the talking machine record
and player roll organizations and according to
reports from the trade it is feeling a good de-
mand.
"Do You Ever Think of Me?" is most for-
tunate in having a love-ballad lyric that attracts
immediate attention. In melody and dance form
it is also receiving wide publicity, and having
both these merits it should have a sale over a
period of months. The publishers are certainly
exploiting it on a large scale.
NAT'L CONSERVATORY BRANCHES
Ex-President Wilson, shortly before he left
office, signed a bill amending the charter
granted by Congress in 1891 to the National
Conservatory of Music. The amendment makes
provision for the creation of branches of the
conservatory outside of Washington.
The original charter authorized the establish-
ment of a national institution situated in the
District of Columbia with power to grant and
confer diplomas and degrees.

DETROIT SONQ WRITERS IN TOWN
Raymond Egan and Richard Whiting, the well-
known song writers, who are connected with the
Detroit office of Jerome H. Rcmick & Co., spent
several days of last week in New York.
The most successful number of the past sea-
son by these two writers was "Japanese Sand-
man." In coming East they brought a new
song, entitled "Tea Leaves," which the Remick
firm will immediately release.
A new firm has just entered the music pub-
lishing business under the name of Sam B.
Lewis & Co., and has opened offices at 244
West Forty-sixth street, New York.
