The song exquisite. CHORUS.

Love is the dream of ages, As old as the sea and sky,

Living in youthful splendor Till the waters of life run dry;

Always telling the story That ever is sweet and new--

The story of a heart's desire, The yearning I feel for you.

Just a castle I'm building in Dreamland, A sweet little castle for two,

the guides to the national requirements in sheet music.

The McKinley song successes are always a true indication of the popular taste. One of the latest hits of the McKinley Music Co. is "One Little Girl," a fox trot song of wonderful popularity. It is, of course, bound in one of the attractive covers for which the company is noted. The lyric of this song success is by Harold G. Frost and the music by J. Henry Klickman.

The sale of sheet music of popular songs in Portland, Ore., is up to the average for this time of year and the various dealers are featuring some of the most popular and latest hits.

Seiberling & Lucas display "Whistle a Song" and "When You Come to Me (Mother of Mine)."

The Remick's house is featuring "Linger Long Letty," music by Alfred Goodman and published by Leo Feist; "The Japanese Sandman," the words by Raymond B. Egan, music by Richard A. Whiting; and "Just Because," words and music by Felix Bernard, another Remick production.

The Metropolitan is featuring "Just Because" and "The Japanese Sandman," while Sherman, Clay's present "Whispering" to the attention of the public. Eilers is featuring "Linger Long Letty."

Art Hickman's Columbia records are featured by Remick's, the Metropolititan and Bush & Lane's, the latter company specially presenting "The Love Nest."

COURT RESTRAINS PAVILION

The Leo Feist Co., Inc., New York, Sues Dancing Place in Oregon.

The Leo Feist Co., Inc., of New York, has tiled suits against Charles Niemi and M. F. Hardesty, the proprietors of the Bungalow dancing pavilion at Seaside, Ore., in the United States District Court, for the producing of "O" and "The Naughty Waltz" at their resort, and the Federal court has issued a restraining order pending the outcome of the suits. As a result the visitors at Oregon's popular seaside resort will not enjoy the tuneful rendition of the two pieces of music, at least for the present.

The two tunes, copyrighted by Feist, featured dances at the pavilion on July 4 and 10, thus infringing on the copyright of the publisher, who asks that the owners of the hall pay from $250 to $5,000 damages for each rendition of each song.

NEW COLLEGE COURSE. The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, will inaugurate a course in the psychology of music at the opening of the new college year. An analysis of the varying effects of music upon different persons will be made under the instruction of Otto Ortmann of the Peabody Conservatory of Music and Dr. Knight Dunlap, professor of experimental psychology at Johns Hopkins.

LONG DISTANCE MUSIC

Demonstrations of Wireless Telephony Amaze and

Delight Guests of William Marconi.

When the next president of the United States is elected in November he might be greeted by the strains of '"The Star Spangled Banner" transmitted by wireless telephony from the cabin of the yacht of William Marconi, the Italian inventor, in the Mediterranean sea. This is believed possible by experts who have investigated the experiments conducted here by the inventor on board his yacht, the Electra.

Marconi's guests recently danced on board the Electra 1o the music of an orchestra playing in London, so distinct was the transmission by wireless telephone. Marconi is now engaged in perfecting a "direction finder," with which to locate ships at sea. By the use of this instrument, it is said, Marconi discovered and reported from London to the Italian minister of the navy that an Austrian submarine was threatening the Italian coast between Triest and Pola.

MUSIC IN THE ARMY. Military music in its relation to the efficiency, morale and contentment of the soldier is now emphasized by the War Department of the U. S. Government, which directs that specific attention be devoted to this subject. The organization of orchestras, regular drill periods for singing, and informal entertainments are provided for in a circular just issued by the office of the Chief of Staff. Commanding officers are called upon to name a musical director in each organization, and provision is made for the appointment of civilians in this capacity when qualified officers or enlisted men are not available.

SHEET MUSIC SUGGESTION. A feature of the player music roll trade which was impressed upon Louis Goelzlin, of the Pacific Music Co., San Francisco, during a recent trip through the state of California should be suggestive to heads of sheet music departments. Mr. Goelzlin says dealers everywhere notice a reaction against jazzy things in vocal or instrumental music.

THE BURR-R HELPS. Lamperti, the famous vocal teacher of Milan, says that the English, especially Londoners, are, with very few exceptions, the worst of all Europeans as to the pronunciation of Italian, the Scotch rather better, while the Irish, with study, could obtain an almost perfect accent.
