that I have seen have taught me that other
people treat me as I treat them. That is why,
when I look for trouble, I find it. The Golden
Rule- is the sum total for all wisdom for get-
ting on in the world."
Bob showed me his "advance" card which he
sent out to his customers all over the country.
Here's what the card says: "Our representa-
tive, Robert H. Stevens will call upon you on
or about
. He will have with him all the
new hits and novelties in sheet music and
folios. We call him 'Bob the Cheerful.' So will
you when he gives you an earful. Any cour-
tesies extended to him will be appreciated."
The Lord has blessed Bob with many good
qualities. He dresses well and looks clean and
thinks clean—a real snappy, dashing, young
American type with plenty of "pep and ginger."
"The Guy Who Put Pep in Red Pepper"
Dinner for five was served at the Manhattan
cafe—steaks, chops, potatoes baked, salad, cof-
fee and cake. The quintet consisted of Mort
Bosley of J. H. Remick Co., of Detroit; Bob
Stevenson, representing the Richmond Music
Supply Corp.; F. A. Brinkmann of Goggan's;
Paul Monkhern, former manager of the music
department in Goggan's, and "yours truly."
Some folks eat brown rice and cream for their
health and "Brinky" is one of them. Cinnamon
flavors the rice and cream very well. "Brinky"
called for it, but after a while he discovered that
the waiter had given him red pepper instead.
There was no fooling about it. I can verify it.
I tasted it. The waiter's alibi was that a "pep-
pery" guy like "Brinky" needed pepper to keep
up the "pep."
Someone asked "Brinky" what the idea was
of the women wearing such short skirts. He
answered: "Well, some women wear short
skirts for nothing at all, but others have two
perfectly good reasons."
Here's "Brinky's" recipe: "Snappy speed is
what you need if you want to be a stepper. To
acquire that speed, all you need, is to take a lit-
tle red pepper."
He tells a good one about a friend of his who
had just been married. Alex and the widow-
were.going up to the altar when the lights went
out. The groom was asked: "What did you do
then?" He answered: "Kept on going—the
widow knew the way."
The local music committee, Paul Monkhern,
and "Brinky," gave Bob and me a whirlwind
tour of the city before our departure.

TV/fOST popular songs are written around
an idea. This idea also generally proves
the title of the number, the idea and the title
being synonymous. Thus the titles no matter
how short tell a story. Two of Irving Berlin's
Berlin's latest song hit, "At Peace With the
World." They look upon it as even a more
advantageous piece of copy. The first of these
