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.

SONG HITS ON THE PACIFIC COAST
Some of the Songs That Are Attracting Atten-
tion—Barney Hagen a Victim of Flu
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., March 11.—"I Found a
Rose in the Devil's Garden," new Fred Fisher
fox-trot, is attracting plenty of attention on the
Pacific Coast as a result of the activity of Wil-
lie Pierce, Fisher professional representative in
San Francisco, who has succeeded in having the
number featured by orchestras and listed pro-
fessionally.
"Dream of Me," by Art Hickman and Ben
Black, is rapidly becoming a San Francisco hit
of the first magnitude. It is published by Wa-
terson, Berlin & Snyder, who have two other
numbers which are also doing well.in Califor-
nia: "Angels" and "Make Believe."
Laid up with the "flu," Barney Hagen, Wit-
mark professional representative in San Fran-
cisco, is expected to be in the hospital for some
time. Chester Conkling, who is in charge of the
office in Hagen's absence, is working on a new
character song recently received, entitled
"Becky From. Babylon."
"April Showers Bring May Flowers," the new
Feist number, is taking well in California and
H. C. Johnson, professional representative of
the publishers, has a large force out popularizing
the number.
NUMBER HAS NO TITLE
Rudy Wiedoeft, the Author of Mysterious Dance
Tune That Has No Name
An odd piece of music, written by Rudy Wie-
doeft, the celebrated phonograph soloist, has
made its appearance about New York among
the various orchestras and is causing a great
deal of gossip because it has no title.
"What is iff (this is not the title)" is the
nearest thing to a title of the catchy tune and it
further bears the line, "The dance hit of 1921-
2-3," but there is nothing further to explain
the mystery.

NEW OVERTURE NUMBER
J. Fischer & Bro. Issue Attractive Instrumental
Entitled "Chinoiserie"
''Chinoiserie" is the title of a new instrumen-
tal number just off the press, published by J.
Fischer & Bro., New York. The publishers
style it "a dainty bit of Oriental melody" and
recommend the composition above all for use
of orchestra conductors and movie organists. It
was composed by Firmin Swinnen, organist of
the Rivoli, New York.
"Chinoiserie" is the outcome of an improvisa-
tion on an occasion when a particularly attrac-
tive Chinese picture was being shown during
an entire week at the Rivoli.
It immediately attracted the attention of the
management and conductor of the orchestra
and, luckily, in this instance, the theme did not
get away from Mr. Swinnen. He was induced
not only to jot it down on paper, but also to
