PUBLISHERS' PAPER SUPPLY
Player Music Roll Makers and Others Interested in a
Problem of United States.
"How the United States Can Meet Its Present and
Future Pulpwood Requirements," is a government
booklet that deals with a forestry problem that in-
terests the manufacturers of music rolls and printers
of sheet music as well as the publishers of news-
papers, trade journals and books.
The pulpwood problem is one touching our intel-
lectual progress and independence. We are one of
the most progressive nations partly because we con-
sume nearly 60 per cent of the world's paper pro-
duction. The doubling of paper requirements each
decade for 40 years is indicative of our progress. But
unfortunately this growth has already resulted in im-
ports of more than half our paper or its raw mate-
rials, in spite of our 470 million acres of forest land.
It is certain the future requirements of the music
roll makers and sheet music printers will be greater
than at present so that the plans to furnish pulp-
wood which interests the government also interests
every individual in the music trade.
American paper requirements have nearly quad-
Apple Tree," "Blue Bell," "Waltz Me Around Again,
Willie," "Under the Bamboo Tree," "Wait Till the
Sun Shines, Nellie." These were real hits of their
time and the duration of their popularity was more
extended than the period of popularity of hits today.
The songs named, sung in good old vocal quartette
style are combined in a new Gennett record recently
issued by the Starr Piano Co., Richmond, Ind. The
record was made by the Criterion Quartette.

rupled since 1899 and now exceed eight million tons
a year. They constituted 56 per cent of the world's
paper consumption in 1920. Our per capita consump-
tion is double that of any other country.
Other things being equal, growth in population
would in itself mean a proportionate increase in re-
quirements. The present population of the United
States is approximately 110 million. By 1950, ac-
cording to the best authorities, our population should
approximate 150 million. If the per capita con-
sumption remains stationary, this would mean
an
increase in requirements by 1950 to about \\ X A mil-
lion tons.

Do "y° remember when "After the Ball" was the
popular song of the day? Not so long ago if you
consider fche early nineties a rather recent period.
You may remember the days when other songs
were popular and, hearing them, conjure up memo-
ries of incidents more or less pleasurable. A great
number of young people who are regular customers
of the hits of today may understand the feelings of
Dad when he recalls how he made the welkin ring
with "In the Good Old Summer Time" about twenty
or so years ago, when he tenored or bassoed in the
Steenth Ward Repocratic Quartette.
Here are other old favorites: "Down Where the

WINDOW CONTEST WINNERS.
The Daynes-Beebe Music Co., Salt Lake City, Utah,
was the. winner in the recent sheet music window dis-

Weeks & Dickinson, Binghamton, N. Y., and J.

A USEFUL BOOKLET.
"New School Material for the Supervisor" is the
title of a booklet issued by the Chart Music Publish-
ing House, 136 W. Lake street, Chicago. The book-
let gives the lists of the instrumental music, songs,
choruses, quartets, comic sketches and books of in-
struction for the violin carried by the company.
Several pages of the booklet are devoted to music
writing books, pads and paper, pitch pipes and other
accessories for the music student and music teacher.
REMICK SONG HITS.
New Remick numbers that have been favorably
received by the music lovers of Portland, Ore., are
"Follow the Swallow," "That Lbst Sweetheart of
Mine," and "Dreamer of Dreams." The new Remick
ballade, "Old Pal," is having a good run, but "Man-
dalay" and "There's Yes, Yes in Your Eyes" still
hold first place in the sales.
The Late Successes and Song "Hits" of the Hearst
Music Publishers, Inc.
For force and attention-challenging prominence on
the printed page it would be difficult to recall any-
thing more complete than the display made in this
issue of Presto by the Hearst Music Publishers, Inc.,
of Winnipeg and Toronto, Canada, and a number of
cities on this side the St. Lawrence, including Chi-
cago. The Hearst display is so completely "spread"
that it cannot escape the most casual reader.
Every dealer in sheet music must be interested in
the songs of this enterprising publishing house. It
is one of the most resourceful in the business, and
its publications are so attractively gotten out and
afford such a splendid variety that no music store
can well be without some, if not all, of them. Hearst
songs are carefully edited, and in the list set forth
this week there are several which are having a re-
markable call and others which are destined to be
no less successful.
ANOTHER APPLE SONG.
A favorite theme with song writers of the foot-
lights order is that of Adam and the apple, with
Eve on the side. A new one is "Oh, Adam, Why
Did You Eat the Apple?" It is better than most of
them, has no particularly suggestive lines, and sings
along easily. "Stoige" singers may find it useful, and
the title page, displaying Eve in the original evening
wear, in confab with his snakeship, may please the
boys who please their audiences. Moreau & Buten-
ers, publishers, San Francisco, Cal.
MUSIC SALES IN CHINA.
There is a good demand for sheet music in Hong-
Kong, says United States Consul Leroy Webber in
a recent report. Dealers report a marked improve-
ment in this line during the past few years. Prac-
tically all of the sales are confined to the foreign resi-
dents of the colony and the more prosperous class of
Chinese. Jazz music is increasing in popularity
among the latter, which is attributed to the return to
this district of large numbers of Chinese who have
been educated in Europe and the United States.
G. D. LOTTMAN WITH RODEMICH CORP.
George D. Lottman, who recently resigned his
office with Jack Mills, Inc., music publishers, after
four years with that concern as advertising and pub-
licity manager, has joined the newly organized Gene
Rodemich Music Pwblishing Corporation in the capac-
ity of eastern office manager, with headquarters at
150 West 46th street, New York City.
"Mandalay," the Remick winner, continues as best
seller in the Adams Music Co., Wichita, Kans., ac-
cording to Miss Middagh, the manager of the sheet
music department.
