J. L. D1LW0RTH RETURNS
Reports Big Business on Return From Extended
Tour Throughout the Country
J. L. Dilworth, of the firm of Huntzinger &
Oil worth, recently returned from a long tour of
the trade centers of the country. He visited
practically every State, with the exception of
the New England States, while away. He re-
ports he booked the largest orders ever re-
ceived by his company in the history of their
business.
Huntzinger & Dilworth are now
planning a big campaign on their new song by
Will Callahan, "When I Come Home to You."
"LITTLE BIRCH CANOE" IN DEMAND
Lee S. Roberts' new waltz song, "A Little
Birch Canoe and You," published by Jerome 11.
Remick & Co., is now very much in demand by
the cabaret and dance orchestras. This num-
ber was originally a great success as a music
roll, and the sales of the song in sheet music
form have been very heavy. The demand for
it as an instrumental selection have encouraged
the firm to get it out in special instrumental
form as a waltz for piano.

REVIEW
THAT the New York Review, the Shubert
sheet, to quote its own words: "Has consistent-
ly maintained its original policy of publishing
a daily theatrical newspaper once a week."
THAT all things being equal we presume that
in the next issue they will refer to it as a
monthly.
THAT the strike of pressmen and feeders in
printing plants in New York has added still fur-
ther to the troubles of the publishers in getting
their music delivered on time.
THAT a musical authority dubs ragtime songs
"all-day suckers."
THAT it can at least be said that the boys who
get the money for turning them out cannot as
a rule be placed in the sucker class.

PLANNING BIG "LIBERTY SING'
Thanksgiving Day to Be Celebrated in Unique
and Appropriate Manner This Year
Thanksgiving Day is going to have more sig-
nificance this year than ever before, for at 4 p.
m. on that day there will be a great national
"Liberty Sing" observed in every community
center throughout the United States, in canton-
ments, on war vessels and transports, even on
the very edge of the firing line in France, under
the direction of the National Council of Women,
of which Mrs. Philip North Moore, of St. Louis,
is president. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw has con-
sented to act as honorary chairman of the Na-
tional Liberty Sing and many other noted men
and women are participating in the movement.
Dr. Shaw, in her capacity as honorary chair-
man, will be assisted by the State chairmen of
the women's committee of the Council of Na-
tional Defense, the presidents and other officers
of the National Federation of Women's Clubs,
the National Supervisors' Association and the
National Association of Music Teachers. The
Liberty Sing will thus have the backing of more
than 7,000,000 women in the United States.

MUSIC PUBLISHING USEFUL WORK
Now we have a court decision to the effect
that the publishing of patriotic music is a useful
occupation. Henjamin Privalsky, who claimed
to be a music publisher, was arrested last week
charged with violating the Anti-Loafing Law.
Privalsky proved that he was engaged in pub-
lishing music with his brother at 145 West
Forty-fifth street, and was discharged by the
court.
