METHOD FOR SECURING
SHEET MUSIC COPYRIGHTS
What Is Required of the Publisher or Composer to
Insure Protection for His Work.
A question frequently asked is: What is the gen-
eral method of securing a copyright for music, and
the expense involved? Can a person not a citizen
of the United States secure a copyright?
Application for a .copyright for a musical com-
position should be made to the copyright office.
Library of Congress, Washington, D. C. It must
specify the class to which the work belongs. The
steps necessary for the copyrighting of works re-
produced in copies for sale are (1) to publish the
work with the copyright notice, (2) promptly after
publication to send the copyright office two copies
(if the work is by a citizen or subject of a foreign
state or nation and has been published in a foreign
country, one complete copy) of the best edition of
the work, with application for registration.
Fees are as follows: For the registration, Jj-1,
which includes certificate of registration under seal;
for certified copy, $1; for extension or renewal, 50
cents.
The original term of copyright runs twenty-eight
years. Copyright secured in this way shall extend
to the work of an author who is a citizen or sub-
ject of a foreign state or nation only (a) when an
alien author shall be domiciled within the United
States at the time of the first publication of his
work, or (b) when the foreign state or nation of
which such an author is a citizen or subject grants,
either by treaty, convention, agreement or law, to
citizens of the United States the benefit of copy-
right on substantially the same basis as to its own
citizens, or copyright protection substantially equal
to the protection secured to such foreign author
under the copyright act or by treaty, or when such
foreign state or nation is a party to an international
agreement which provides for reciprocity in the
granting of copyright, by the terms of w T hich agree-
ment the United States may, at its pleasure, be-
come a party thereto.

One of the surprising features of trade with the
San Antonio, Tex., branch of Thos. Goggan & Bro.,
is the favor for the Art-Apollo, made by the Apollo II
Piano Co., De Kalb, 111. The artistic qualities of the
Goggan house, has made the warerooms at Hous-
ton and Navarro streets one of the most important
distributing points for the Apollo in the Southwest. II
"Art-Apollo brings the very best of the world's great
pianists as guests to your home. To play for you
whenever you are in the mood and whatever you •i
like. At any time you can come here and convince
yourself of this by listening to a demonstration of II
the Apollo Reproducing piano," is the challenge to n
interested ones printed in the newspapers.

LICENSES IN GERMANY.
All German imports and exports are subject to
individual licenses issued on behalf of the Minister
of Economics by the Commissioner of Import and
Export Licenses, according to a cablegram received
from Commercial Attache Edwards, The Hague, and
made public in Washington by the Bureau of For-
eign and Domestic Commerce. The principles gov-
erning the issue of licenses are constantly changing,
and almost all applications are being decided on in-
dividual merit, the cable states. The object of the
system is to secure staple prices and credits and to
prevent the influx of manufactures and luxury arti-
cles, and the outflow of needed raw materials and
half manufactured goods.
A GOING BUSINESS HARD TO BEAT.
PERFECT PUNCHINGS
For a
Bigger and Better
Business
A four-cornered conversation engaged in by three
piano men and a Presto representative in the J. O.
Twichell store on Wabash avenue, Chicago, on
Tuesday of this week resulted in a consensus of
opinion that it pays better to buy one established
o'd business than to start three or four new ones.
Every one of the four men recalled experiences that
were disappointing in having connected with new
concerns. The moral drawn was that it would be
wiser to purchase a going piano factory—one of the
several now offered for sale—than to start a new
one, with the chances running against its winning a
place for itself in the trade.
