sports, particularly swimming. I was surprised
at this and said: "Being so short, can you swim
really well?" "Swim?" said Clinton; "Why,
man, I used to be a letter carrier in Venice."
We made our get-away from Portland long
before the motorcycle squad had their coffee
and sinkers. We were going at a great rate
until we came upon a herd of cows and simply
couldn't pass them. They veered from one side
of the road to the other, and mooed happily to
the strains of "Sweet Adeline." I was sure
something was wrong and questioned the
farmer. He explained that the cows had helped
themselves freely from his "moonshine vat"
which accounted for their tipsy good humor.
I'll wager that the farmer sold his milk for not
less than $5 a quart.
It is just a morning's run from Portland to
the peak of Franconia Notch in the midst of the
White Mountain region of New Hampshire. We
spent the week-end there with a lot of high-
brows, literally speaking, elevated folks. While
at this hotel, I received a letter from my little
daughter, who is just six years old. She has
been taught by her mother to say her prayers
every night before retiring. Due to my ab-
sence, she made this special prayer: "Please
watch over my papa." On second thought she
added: "And please, Lord, you better keep an
eye on mama, too."
Continuing our journey homeward, we passed
through western Massachusetts, Jacob's Ladder,
along the Mohawk Trail, through the Berkshire
Hills, bordering on the New York State line,
a n d finally via Connecticut. In motoring,
guides are essential; so are signs. Some signs
are really humorous. Here is what one read
as we passed a human filling station: "Antiques,
home-made rugs, and fresh string beans—Only
a place to eat, but a good one." And how often
we saw the old familiar sign "Hot dogs—Red
Hots." I expect some day to see a wise bird
advertise "Canine Croquettes."
We didn't mind the rolling hills of Connecti-
cut a bit. It is through this territory that your
brakes are essential to your well-being and it
it particularly necessary to have a supply of gas,
since stations are few and far between. Seeing
a lot of Fords trying'to keep themselves from
flying down the hills reminded me of the states-
man who said "Friends, Neighbors and Coun-
trymen, lend me your gears."
Danbury
Our last stop was Danbury—once famous
for its derby hat. The man who wears a brown
derby still has to send to Danbury for it. How-
ever, since derbies are known to retard the
growth of the skull, the wise hat manufacturer
of Danbury is making millions of soft hats in-
stead.
Heim's Music Store
Heim's Music Store, Jackson and Hanson,
proprietors, has its main branch at 221 Main
street. Other stores are located at Ridgefield,
Conn., and Brewster, N. Y. It is an exclusive
Victor dealer and carries the Ampico, Knabe,
With
Emerson, Haines Bros, pianos; musical instru-
ments and sheet music.
The man who started this business thirty
ago with just four pianos was Wm. C. Heims.
Frank W. Hanson has been associated with
the firm for sixteen years, during the past six
of which he has been part owner.
During
my interview at the store Mr. Jackson was
extremely busy and had to leave, so that 1
received all my information from Mr. Hanson.
The present location of this firm is their
own building. The interior is finished in silver
grey quartered oak with fixtures built espe-
cially for each department. There has been
nothing overlooked in making this one of the
most modern and attractive music houses in the
section. It can easily be termed a model music
house and used as a pattern for the most ex-
clusive dealer. The Heim's Music Store would
feel perfectly at home on Fifth avenue, New
York, with Mr, Jackson and Mr. Hanson wear-
ing full dress suits and Miss Brush her evening
gown. Salesmen who have visited this store
are amazed at its beauty and dignified character.
There are two music studios and six large Vic-
tor booths and show rooms. The old faithful
Victor dog, in giant size, is prominently dis-
played.
Miss Isabelle E. Brush, who does a little
of everything, also holds herself responsible
for the success of the record and sheet music
departments. She wasn't a bit backward in tell-
ing me that she has been associated with the
firm for twenty-one years. It is quite evident
that it places a great deal of confidence in her
work. Miss Brush is thoroughly familiar with
the Victor products, having spent some time
taking a special course at the Victor factory.
She is a graduate of the Red Seal School of
the Victor Co.
Mr. Hanson firmly believes in the "one-price
system" and is thoroughly opposed to any price
cutting or "special sales," although he always
gives the public its money's worth. Its busi-
ness has shown a marked, steady increase right
along. Both Mr. Jackson and Mr. Hanson are
active in the business.
The longing for real fresh sweet "corn on
the cob" from my neighbor's garden and my
wife's home-made huckleberry pie brought me
back to my roosting place on Long Island with
many happy recollections of the territory I had
covered.

dition of the Leo Feist, Inc., success "Honest
and Truly" which immediately established him
as a real competitor. He was presented with a
loving cup suitably inscribed.
Ghas. K. Harris on Radio
Charles K. Harris, the pioneer ballad com-
poser and publisher, occasionally appears upon
the radio program of Station WOR, Newark,
N. J. Recently he gave a program of his newer
offerings through that station, first introducing
his new waltz song "Danger In Your Eyes,"
followed by "My Mother's Kiss" and later "The
Starlight, the Roses and You," finishing that
part of his program with "What's the Matter
With Sue." His new classical ballad described
as a barcarolle was sung the same evening by
Miss Elvira LaMoure. At the close of his pro-
gram Mr. Harris sang some of his old successes
including "Always in the Way," "Break the
News to Mother" and "After the Ball." -
New Feist Publications
Ainong the new publications added to the
catalog of Leo Feist, Inc., are "I'm Tired of
Everything But You," by Isham Jones, new
fox-trot ballad; "Who Wouldn't Love You,"
a new song by Burke & Davis, writers of
many popular hits; "Tell Me Yes, Tell Me
No," described as a teasing fox-trot; "Where
Is My Rose of Waikiki," fox-trot song by
Eagan and Whiting, a writing combination
that never fails; and a new novelty comedy
song by Joe Burke "She Was Just a Sailor's
Sweetheart."
