played. The prizes ranged from $10.00 to $200.00.

som Time in Indiana." The card says this song is
"A wonderful dance number."

Some weeks ago circular letters were sent to pub-
lishers of music, composers, copyright owners and
others interested in extending the sale of sheet music
and other musical publications which circular an-
nounced the formation of an organization intended to
aid persons interested against unfair practices
prevalent in the sheet music and musical publications
trade.
The last information from the promoters of this
affair comes from E. R. Berger, Flint, Michigan, who
is one of the parties interested in the movement re-
ferred to and who says that, "Pending United States
Government suit against the A. S. C. A. P. (American
Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers), we
are holding our affairs in abeyance."
The Northwestern University School of Music,
Evanston, 111., announces its second annual Church
Choir Contest and Festival which takes place May 13,
14, 15 next. This affair brings out many interesting
things in music, musical publications and persons
identified with musical interests and is an interesting
event for the music trades as well as musical people
and the music profession.
The attempted advent of Ed. Wytin. noted
comedian, into the establishment of another broad-
casting chain to be known as the Amalgamated "Radio
System, was a serious disappointment in certain quar-
ters of the piano manufacturing industry, but to the
credit of Mr. Wynn he has struggled through the
debacle and is paying out accounts involved against
the business.
During the school vacation this moving-day season
exhibitions and recitals of music pupils will take place,
one of these at Kimball Hall, the last week in April,
sponsored by the Miessner System
The Lyon & Healy Branch Store at Evanston, 111.,
of which J. J. Numan is the manager, is now located
at 523 Davis street in the Northshore Hotel Building,
only a few doors from their former location.

CHICAGO-MADE HARPS LEAD THE
WORLD
Some time ago the well-known harpist, Alberto
Salvi, selected a Lyon & Healy concert harp to be
sent to his studio in St. Louis, Mo. Recently that
harp was purchased by a prominent St. Louis musi-
cian and noted harpist, Miss Lela R. Kraft. Miss
Kraft, who has been a resident of St. Louis for about
seven years is a professional harpist.
Another L. & II. harp of the concert type was re-
cently on exhibition at Lyon & Healy's prior to its
shipment to a noted artist in Switzerland, and is used
in the Symphony Orchestra of that city. This instru-
ment is priced at $5,000 while the one secured by Miss
Kraft of St. Louis was a $10,000 model.
A reference to the use of the harp in broadcasting
stations which recently appeared in the radio section
of the Chicago D'aily News, is worth repeating. In
this story of his regard for the harp, Mr. Gilchrist
says, "the harp sounded beautifully over radio; clear
and liquid. Why not the harp for the softer and
<|uieter radio music? Couldn't it be used in place of
the organ for such purposes? If you ever get a
chance to hear harp music on the air without accom-
paniment of other instruments think this idea over."
An interesting and jubilant gathering of managers
in the South Division of the Jenkins Music House
branch stores, recently met at Tulsa, Okla. Seven
branch stores were represented in this division of
the Jenkins Music House. Paul W. Jenkins of Kan-
sas City, vice-president, and W. P. Sutherland, gen-
eral branch store manager, were special guests. Okla-
homa City, Bartlesville, Joplin, Wichita, Seminole,
Fort Smith and Tulsa were represented.
J. P. Collins Company, 100 Summer street, Boston,
Mass., continue to specialize in "second-hands" and
advertise to buy and pay cash for this class of in-
struments.
The May Company, Cleveland, Ohio, carries a two-
column display advertisement on "Sensational Fac-
tory Close-Out Sale of Cable & Son Baby Grand."
Mrs. Ivy Richardson and Mr. Steve Miller have
purchased the Book and Music Store recenty owned
by George Horney at Kingman, Kansas.
J. H. Rigby is now the manager of the Schmoller
& Mueller Company's branch store at Grand Island,
Nebraska. Mr. Rigby has been associated with the
Schmoller & Mueller house a long time and is con-
sidered a very successful piano man.
Mayo M. Fischer, recently of Olivia. Minn., is open-
ing an exclusive music store at Redwood Falls,
Minn. His place of business in Redwood is in the
Fox Building. Mr. Fischer is a noted band leader
and will specialize in band and orchestral instruments,
sheet music and supplies but will carry a line of pianos
to meet the demand for upright and grand in-
struments.
Carl Kob and his wife, Mrs. F. C. Kob, have opened
a music store at Columbia, Mo. Mr. Kob has been
specializing in radios and has done some broadcasting.
R. T. Shelley's Music Store, Grinnell, Iowa, has
moved to a more attractive location on Broad street.
The Crawford Music Corporation has leased the
entire eleventh floor at 1619 Broadway, New York
City.
The new music store of Winters & Donaldson in
Pipestone, Minnesota, located on West Main street,
