Co. and Chas. M. Stieff, Inc. A letter of ap-
preciation was received by Mr. Fergusson in
behalf of the Teachers' Association for the
splendid treatment accorded them while in the
city. There seems to be the proper spirit of co-
operation among the music merchants in Rich-
mond.
While on my way to the hotel I noticed one
of the famous Ford "lemonsines" come to a sud-
den stop with a jolt. The occupant worked on
the starter and it refused to act and the driver
was forced to dismount and endeavor to crank
the engine with the aid of a starting handle.
For five minutes or more he turned the handle
furiously, while a crowd gathered. Suddenly an
old lady stepped forward and pressed a penny
into the perspiring motorist's hand. "My good
man," she said gently, "I wish all the organ
grinders were as quiet as yours." She thought
he surely was playing "soft music."
W. D. Moses & Co.
Since 1878 this house has been in existence in
these parts. Louis J. Heindl, part owner and
manager, is the active head. This is the house
of the Steinway and also Hardman, Peck & Co.,
the Victor line, Washburn instruments, the
King line of band .instruments, and the feature
punch lino embodied in their advertising states
that they are "the oldest music house in Vir-
ginia and North Carolina." They employ nine
men on the road as their outside selling or-
ganization. The year just past has been a suc-
cessful one and up to their expectations. The
sheet music department, as well as the instru-
ments, is managed by Bernard W. McCann, the
type of individual who simply loves to work
and work, and some more work and makes
work his play. Mr. McCann believes that the
teaching of music in public schools and of the
various instruments has a great deal to do with
the increased demand for everything musical in
the city. He has been fourteen years with the
house in the same capacity. Schirmer is their
feature in the classics, nevertheless they carry
all the requirements of the teacher and pupil.
Miss Laura Webster possesses a real Yankee
name, but claims no relationship to old "Daniel,"
who had such a tremendous vocabulary. Nev-
ertheless the fact cannot be denied that she
possesses a great deal of charm, is ever alert
and takes her daily tasks as a real optimist
would do, taking care of the popular music de-
partment where the real hits of the day are car-
ried and nothing is overlooked if she can help it.
A Richmond in Richmond
The psychological effect of a "Richmond"
being in Richmond was pleasant to my mental-
ity. The dignified atmosphere with the real old-
fashioned Virginia friendship acted as a tonic,
and helped to restore my physical being and
energy I had put forth in calling on the trade
the week before.

Caro Roma, one of the best known and most

parts of the country, finally was lured to the
sunshine of California, where she now makes
The California Ramblers, the well-known
New York dance orchestra, directed by Arthur
Hand, will broadcast a program of hymns on
Station WGBS, New York, during Easter
week, according to W. T. Kirkeby, the mana-
ger of this musical combination.
The hymns selected as appropriate for this
occasion will include "The Lord Is Risen,"
"The Palms," "Lo The Stone Is Rolled
Away," "It is the Blessed Raster Morn" and
"Holy, Holy Holy." Special symphonic ver-
sions will be made by The California Ramblers,
who are noted for their dance music as record-
ing artists for the Columbia Phonograph Com-
pany of New York. The hymnal music, how-
ever, will not be played for dancing purposes.
The California Ramblers arc also considering
the symphonic arrangement, for broadcasting
purposes over WGBS, such well-known hymns
as "Abide With Ale," "My Faith Looks Up To
Thee," "Lead, Kindly Light," "Rock of Ages,"
and "When the Mists Have Rolled Away."

her home. In the little town of Fruitvale,
where she writes as the mood dictates, she also
operates an attractive song shop. The original
shop was so successful and the business has
grown to such proportions that it was found
necessary to move to a new location. The
shop is a gathering place for many notables,
particularly for those musically inclined, and
most visitors to this sunny California loca-
tion call at the song shop.
Caro Roma's compositions form an important
part of the Witmark Black and White edition
and this catalog as well as her own numbers
are featured in the California song shop.
Among her own best sellers and favorites are
such secular songs and ballads as "Can't You
Heah Me Calling, Caroline," "In the Garden
of My Heart," "My Jean," "Resignation," "Ring
Out, Sweet Bells of Peace" and "Thinking of
Thee." Also such sacred songs as "Comfort
Ye One Another," "God Shall Wipe Away All
Tears," "The Silent Voice," "The Wondering
One," a song cycle, "Sea Songs" and others.

to Be Sung on Mother's Day
Carl Fischer, Inc., Issue "A Mother's Day Of-
fering" to Mark That Annual Event in a
Fitt'ng Manner with Music
"Mother's Day," May 10, has in recent
years been celebrated in a manner fitting for
Mich an occasion. There has also been some
more recent efforts to link up this important
day with music and, of course, there could be
nothing more appropriate. However, most of
such plans have been thoroughly commercial
and have lacked the proper element to give
them sufficient dignity to win widespread ap-
peal.
Music, however, should be a prominent part
of a Mother's Day celebration. In fact, there
is no other method that could make the occa-
sion more impressive, and particularly is this
true where children are concerned. Linking
music up with the child mind through the aid
of musical events will indeed make the day an
impressive one.
Carl Fischer, Inc., therefore, are to be com-
plimented upon the new song by Lola John-
son called "A Mother's Day Offering," arranged
for unison and for children's voices. Here is
an appropriate and impressive song which con-
tains the proper spirit befitting so important an oc-
casion. The very title commends itself and the
trade, the music profession, and particularly
those in the teaching branches, including the
schools, should accord it the recognition it de-
serves. It is incumbent upon the dealer to sec
that all those who should be interested have

this material placed at their disposal. The Carl
Fischer Co. has issued a special presentation
edition of "A Mother's Day Offering" which
should enhance its value.
