BOSTON, MASS., February 20.—The music depart-
ment of the Massachusetts Federation of Wom-
en's Clubs is endeavoring to eliminate the ques-
tionable from popular songs* The club women
do not seek to reform the world of music nor
to drive the jazz out of the field; but they are
trying to keep depraved, questionable airs, some-
times called popular, away from the home. The
music department of the State Federation out-
lines the musical programs for the 300 or more
women's clubs in this State and it is a fore-
gone conclusion that it will be able to bring
into wide disfavor such songs as contain ques-
tionable lines. The feeling is pretty general
that such songs have a pernicious influence
among the young.

"HITS" FROM THE_BERLIN CATALOG
The professional department of Irving Berlin,
Inc., is particularly active on the following
songs: "Granny, You're My Mammy's Mammy,"
"Just a Little Love Song," "Poor Little Me"
and "I Wonder Where He Went and When He's
Coming Back Blues." This activity has been
reflected in the sales of these numbers, which
seem to be steadily increasing in volume.
The above are undoubtedly the outstanding
new songs of the Berlin catalog and the Spring
plans of the comipany call for intensive exploita-
tion in both professional and trade circles.
"Granny, You're My Mammy's Mammy," has
already been acknowledged a national hit and
"Just a Little Love Song" seems an assured suc-
cess. "Poor Little Me" and "I Wonder Where
He Went and When He's Coming Back Blues"
are later additions.
Prominent Vaudevillians Using "Mammy's Lov-
ing Lullaby" and "Brown Eyes"
The Fisher Thompson Music Co., of Butte,
Mont., and New York, which at present is mak-
ing a special sales drive on the songs, "Mammy s
Loving Lullaby" and "Brown Eyes," reports the
following vaudeville performers as featuring
these songs: Eddie Meehan, Trainer & Brown,
Sam Moore, American Trio, Joe Breen Produc-
tion Co., Mullini & Smith, Sanderson & Peek,
Quilliani Trio, Wright & Davis, Robbins, Nylin
& Robbins, Montreal City Four, Overland Four,
Black Musical Revue, F. J. Shubert, Daly &
Bumch, Miltam & Williams, and also a produc-
tion act, "Dance Evolution," which has made
"Brown Eyes" one of its feature numbers.
