"A hustling music man is Dave Frank,.
No one ever called him a crank.
One thing certain, he is always 'frank'—
A hustling music man is Dave' Frank."
Woof! Woof! Hot Dog
Dave invited me to an exciting evening—see-
ing a dog race, and how they could run. Dave,
his family and myself, motored down to the
Metaire Kennel Club, to see the whippets run.
There is really no more thrilling sport for the
general public than these ponies. The pace-
maker is a rabbit constructed on a third rail,
going like sixty with the hounds after him. You
can make bets, right in the open, and play them
straight, show or place. That's what Dave and
I did. We made up a pool and won in the first
race on Pond Lily. We won in the Second on
Silver Heels, in the fifth on Ben McGawn and
in the sixth we went on Canon Charge. There
were- eight races in all so that it was not so
bad. Dave did the guess work and we both

must be in apple pie order to suit his taste.
Otherwise, he is not happy. The crease in his
trousers is always fresh, too.
The Misses Mildred Bowers, Ida Fink and
last but not least, Ollie Gitz, are the ladies in
the sheet music department assisting Mr. Dil-
worth.
Philip Werlein Ltd.
Philip Werlein, Ltd., of New Orleans, was
established in 1842. The manager of the music
department is Henry B. Kronlage. Mr. Kron-
lage has been associated with the sheet music
business in this city for almost forty years, hav-
ing served with the Grunewald house for sev-
eral decades. He just recently took over the
management of this department which was for-
merly under the direction of Mrs. Alice Cor-
bitt Gelpi. Mrs. Gelpi had this to say when I
talked with her at the store. "Business has been
exceptionally good. 1925 showed an increase
over 1924, and this year. Every day in every
way it is getting better and better. For the
present I am going to remain in the music de-
partment, but have turned over the managership
to Mr. Kronlage and will assist him." Mrs.
Gelpi is very much interested in the "Melody-
way" which the Miessner Piano, of Milwaukee,
Wis., is introducing by forming classes and
teaching the system of music to students, to aid
in the progress of the movement: "Give more
thought to music."
Dave Frank
At the well-known Junius Hart Piano Co., 123
Carondelet street, Dave Frank operates the
music department. It is truly one of the busiest
music counters in the entire South. He features
popular sheet music, orchestrations, a selected
stock of standards and classics, as well as in-
struction books. Dave has been a booster for
the "Century Edition" ever since he has been
in business, and he considers it one of the most
important items in a successful sheet music de-
partment. Dave is on the job all the time and
is never satisfied unless he beats "yesterday"
in sales. His slogan is "Once a customer, al-
ways a customer."

collected and we brought the bacon home.
The event was just as thrilling to Dave as it
was to me, because he sticks pretty close to
business and gets little opportunity to relax. In
fact he makes his business his hobby.
With his club system for the professional
musician and the premium system on all pur-
chases over and above a certain amount, Dave is
assured of a certain amount of business daily,
aside from the transient trade, of which he gets
his share.
New Jung Hotel
The new Jung Hotel has been dedicated to
the convenience of the traveling public. This
hotel was recommended to me by a number of
the boys and I found it splendid. It is really
the last word in modern hotel accommodations.
There are over 300 rooms, every one an out-
side room, spic and span from a sanitary point
of view, the glass, bed, china, electric heating
plant, running ice water being just what the
doctor ordered. The dining-room serves splen-
did food at moderate prices. There is also the
fountain room, which has a large coffee shop
for the fellow who is in a hurry—like myself.
Traveling alone, I don't give much time to
meals. I like appetizing food and I found the
coffee shop a good place to patronize. I want
to pass this good news to my traveling friends
in the music industry. Should you have an op-
portunity to stay at New Orleans, stop at the
new Jung Hotel. You will be well taken care
of, and above all, the prices are moderate.
One Hundred Golden Hours at Sea
Having completed my trip to this city, I de-
cided to go back via the Southern Pacific steam-
ship lines which ply regularly once a week be-
tween New York and New Orleans. They offer
a splendid opportunity for rest and recreation.
It is an ideal trip the year 'round. It takes five
days northbound to New York. For several
hours you are going through the Mississippi, a
beautiful panoramic view is seen from the deck
and you pass many plantations and wooded
hills until you reach the Gulf stream. To those
of you who are not familiar with the Gulf
Stream, I am going to tell you what I have
learned about it since I have been traveling on
the Southern Pacific Steamship lines.
The Gulf Stream
This, from its climatic influence the most im-
portant and best known of great ocean cur-
rents, derives its name from the Gulf of Mexico,
out of which it flows. Between the Coast of
Florida on one side, and Cuba and the Bahama
Islands on the other, with a breadth of about
fifty miles in its narrowest portion, it has a
speed, at times, of five miles an hour. The
stream flows in a northerly direction along the
American coast, gradually winding its current
and diminishing in speed until it reaches the
banks of Newfoundland, when it flows across
the Atlantic. As this great stream pours out
of the Gulf of Mexico, it has a warmth of 84
degrees in the Summer, being four degrees
higher than that of the ocean at the equator.
SONG "
The weather during my trip was most de-
lightful and invigorating. That's what I love—
the blue sky above with the wide clear spaces
and the wind in my face. I was happy in the
thought of my dear ones at home. I was com-
ing back to those I love best, in my nest, and
all the rest.
Sousa Plays Numbers
Lieut. Comm. John Philip Sousa, acknowl-
edged king of military band leaders in the world,
has incorporated into, his repertory the Bibo,
Bloedon Lang ballad hit, "Am I Wasting
My Time On You," and is playing it regu-
larly. This is a great tribute to the merits of
the melody, for it is a known fact that Sousa
plays nothing but the best and rarely touches a
popular melody. Irving Bibo, head of the firm
that publishes "Wasting," on a recent visit to
Atlantic City, completed arrangements for
Lieut. Comm. Sousa's playing not only "Am I
Wasting My Time On You," but also his firm's
novelty success, "My Cutie's Due at Two to
Two To-day."
