STORE BAND ON RADIO.
Pupils of the school for the teaching of band and
orchestra instruments operated in connection with the
Pennsylvania Band Instrument Co., Allentown, Pa.,
made their debut recently in a radfo broadcast from
Station WSAN. The Pennsylvania Band Instrument
Co. is the representative of the Conn line of band
instruments. The orchestra is a concert organiza-
tion, all the members of which purchased their Conn
instruments from the Pennsylvania Band Instrument
Co., and is conducted by A. L. Myers, a member of
the firm.
A NEW "SMILE" SONG.
"Smile and Keep a Smiling" is a new song from
the Roat Music Company of Battle Creek, Mich. It
is the work of a newspaper man whose avowed pur-
pose is to produce songs "free of musical vulgarity or
lyric suggestiveness." Henry Edward Warner is the
poet and composer and he makes a good beginning.
His song should meet with success, for it is singable
and sufficiently original. Mr. Warner says: "I have
had all sorts of opportunities to write dirty songs
