D. C, is more than its name suggests. It is an or-
ganization for the encouragement of music in all its
forms with special efforts towards reviving com-
munity singing and making it a more marked fea-
ture of the times. The Washington music dealers
are well represented in the new organization which
hold free weekly concerts. In short, the dealers in
sheet music are proving themselves observant and
give systematic encouragement to all movements of
a musical nature.
