A distinct novelty in both the music and post
card fields are the post card songs, of which Harold
and Helen Ballou,*401 Maritime building, Seattle,
Wash., are the originators, composers and publish-
ers. The songs are especially composed and writ-
ten for publication on the post cards, and though
of necessity rather shorty are of a quality that
serves to make them particularly interesting. The
various, numbers are described as being dedicated
to' "the cause of good cheer," and a collection of
the various cards should prove most desirable to
those musically inclined. The cards are cream-colored
and of good material arid, the printing of the words
and music is done in-brown ink. The work is well
done, and even the smallest letters are perfectly
readable.

The list of songs'published in post card form is
already quite large and is increasing steadily. A
special feature of the cataj#g. is; a series of State
songs composed and written by* Harold and Helen

each Sta.le in the l^riion. Theie are also a number

Detroit, Mich., Aug. 12, 1912.
The Remiek publishing house wiH put out the
next two songs of Detroit's new song-writing team,
Moriarty and Shannon. This does not mean that
they have forsaken Forster altogether, but that
Mr. Shannon, who is the business manager of the
partnership, prefers to remain in the free lance
field. The two, which now are in Remick's hands
and will be -published within a couple of weeks,
are "Something Tells Me You're the Girl/'" and
"Mister Moving Picture Man." In both the words
are by Moriarty and the music by Shannon.

The practice of purchasing the rights to songs
after they have made good to certain extent and
thus avoiding the preliminary gamble appears to
be the popular one these days. Only recently
Chas. I. Davis, the music publisher, bought the
copyright of "If I Could Call You Sweetheart"
for an amount said to be in the neighborhood of
$.°>,000, and is preparing to push the number for all
it -is worth.

MEYER COHEN, Mgr.
This is without doubt
the first high-grade col-
lection of standard dances
ever published and will
undoubtedly be much ap-
preciated by violinists,
not only because of the
superiority of its con-
tents, but also because
every number has been
especially arranged and
placed in the first posi-
tion, so that it is within
the grasp of the average
player. Price, violin and
piano, 75 cents.

Statistics given out by the music publishers, of
Germany show that while the trade on the whole
is flourishing, there is an increasing output of
trivial compositions. This is a condition- which
prevails the world over.
The entire front of the new building of-the
Maresh Piano Co., Cleveland, O., was blown-eut
recently when five tons of dynamite exploded-ia a :
