A new retail shop was recently opened in
Morgantown, W. Va., under the name The Song
Shop, which carries a complete stock of sheet
music, both popular and standard, and which
contemplates catering to the needs of local or-
chestras. At the opening the Campus Sere-
naders, under the direction of W. C. Frame, ren-
dered the latest Broadway dance successes.
The store opened with a stock of 1,326 selec-
tions and among the popular numbers which
will be featured during the early weeks follow-
ing the opening are "I Gave You Up Just Before
You Threw Me Down," "To-morrow," "Lady

E. C. Mills, chairman of the Executive Board
of the Music Publishers' Protective Association,
has accepted the chairmanship of the Music
Publishers' Division in the forthcoming Salva-
tion Army Home Service Appeal for $500,000.
In agreeing to so actively participate in the
campaign, he outlined his reasons.
"Those in the music publishing business
should be particularly interested in the Salvation
Army," said Mr. Mills, in explaining, "not only
because of their wonderful relief and religious
work, but because of the extent to which they
utilize music in their work. It is a rule in the
Army that every cadet studying for officership
must learn to play some instrument, and most
of the officers play three or four. Here in
New York the Army has one of the best bands
in the country—the Staff Band and Male Chorus,
composed of officers engaged in various activi-
ties at the headquarters in Fourteenth street.
This band serves without pay, but is always on
hand for engagements for the entertainment of
the poor. Music is utilized in every branch of
Salvation Army work."
Mile. Frances Alda, who sang at Wichita,
Kan., Friday, March 23, found it necessary to
repeat twice, at the close of her program, "The
Singer," by Elsa Maxwell. The number is pub-
lished bv the Boston Music Co.

Wide Variety of Numbers Included in "Selling Points for Dealers," the Valuable Monthly House
Organ Issued by This House—Review of February and March Novelties Also Given
The April issue of "Selling Points for Deal-
ers," issued by the Oliver Ditson Co. in con-
nection with its monthly novelty list, has just
been forwarded to the trade. This monthly
publication is issued in the interest of the dealer,
teacher, student and music-lover and has be-
come important material for the dealer's perusal,
being eagerly looked forward to by the trade.
In addition to a review of the Ditson novelties
embodying the particular uses for which the
issues are available the forepart of this pub-
lication is given over to constructive and timely
contributions which are of value.
In the April issue, among the novelties, is
found "Song Echoes From Childland," by Jenks
and Rust, which is offered at a special intro-
ductory price. A new edition in paper bind-
ing is to be issued, but the present offer refers
to the stock on hand in cloth binding which will
allow marketing by present purchasers at a
most inviting price.
Among the songs is a new ballad by John H.
Densmore, entitled, "If God Left Only You"; a
vocal waltz, called "I Know Where a Garden
Grows," for concert recital and teaching, and a
nocturne which is also available for the same
purposes. Other songs by the same composer
are: "The South Winds Are Blowing" and "The
Voice and the Flute"; for the piano Emile
Forques has contributed a concert study (etude
de concert), edited by Isidor Philipp, described
as a valuable study in double notes in all com-
binations. Lucius Hosmer is credited with "Mia
Carissima," appropriate for third and fourth
grades, described as "A lightly moving waltz
with a trio in sustained melody that has a
smooth counter-melody underlying it." Also
among the piano releases are "The Gondolier
Song," "A Marquise in Porcelain," "Cherubs,"
"Steamboat Excursion," "Autumn Dreams," by
Ed Poldini. Gerald Stanley is responsible for
seven first-grade piano pieces published with
large notes and other qualities particularly ap-
pealing to the child.
The octavo releases include songs for male,
