SONGS THAT SURVIVE THE WARS
James M. Beck Tells How the War Songs Have
Survived War History in the Past
According to James M. Beck, former Assist-
ant U. S. Attorney General, war music is of the
utmost importance. He said recently:
"In moments of great exaltation the soul finds
its best expression in music, and on such an oc-
casion the spoken word, after the sweet strains
of music, is as the pipe of Pan, which seems
harsh after the lute of Apollo. During the
French Revolution many thousands of speeches
were made in the exultation of that great up-
rising, but only the fragments remain in memory,

McKINLEY NUMBERS IN CONCERTS
Leading Numbers of Catalog Being Used by
Wilbur Sweatman's Band and Others
The various leading numbers in the McKinley
Music Co. catalog have been featured most suc-
cessfully in local concerts recently.
Wilbur
Sweatman's Columbia Phonograph Jazz Band,
now giving a series of Sunday night concerts
at the Eltinge Theatre, New York, has been
using "Dallas Blues" and "You Can Have It, 1
Don't Want It," two McKinley publications that
have proven hits. At the Nora Bayes Theatre
last Sunday evening LaVeen & Cross used
'.'Sweet Hawaiian Moonlight" throughout their
entire performance, and that number was like-
wise used by Rath Bros, on the same evening
at the concert at the Winter Garden with great
success.
The Texas Federation of Music Clubs, of
Corsicana, has been incorporated by Miss Louise
Pace, Mrs. F. H. Blankenship and Mrs. J. Lee
Penn. There is no capital stock provided for in
