first place, he must use the most simple words and the most
e ordinary phrases. Anything which has the appearance of
being involved will fail. One must be sure to have some
little love theme running through the story, because the popular music
business o a great extent is kept alive BY THE YOUNG WOMEN
from fifteen to twenty-five years of age.
Make the verse and chorus, particularly the chorus, as short as
possible. BE most careful to have the melody and the arrangement
set down in the simplest manner, 50 that any one with even a limited
knowledge of music can play it. ONE DIFFICULT STRAIN in
a song is very apt to spoil the whole.
In the arrangement of the music the author of a popular song
must restrict himself to not more than one octave and one note. This
is for the benefit of the singer who is to render it on the stage. In ths
writing of instrumental music, marches, waltzes and the like, a com
poser may go as far as two octaves. Having in mind the limitations of
the ordinary singerin vaudeville, the going beyond the octave and one
note is dangerous.
1t is to the performer who sings the song from the stage and the
young girl who hears it played over by the demonstration" in the de-
partment store that the author must look for the success Of his effort.
The young girl aids the sale of the song because the romantichm of
her nature is touched by the sentiment. If there is no sentiment in
the song she is not moved, AND SHE DOESN'T BUY. This is
the reason the tender ballads are infinitely more successful as sellers
than the comic songs which raise a laugh in a theator.
NO ONE can tell from the mere reading over of a song whether
or not it is destined to be a hit. If any one could, he could make
$1,000 an hour by simply picking out the wheat from the chaf, turn
ing the accepted producteover to a music publisher and then watching
the effect on the public The song has to be published and tried out
before the greatsaudience of the public before a verdict can be rem
dered. In this respect the>popular song is on a par with the theatrical
production. If'managers,at rehearsal could tell what would please,
no failures would ever b~e'recorded.
Song market conditions have to be studied as closely as the condi-
tons of any other market, and the author must put out his product
AL The PSYCHOLOGICAL MOMENT. For example, it would
be an error of Judgment to try out the ordinary "coon song' at a
period when the BALLAD was at the height of its popularity. Feel
the tendency, and then take advantage of it. The first success made
by my partner, Mr.. Van Alstyne, and myself was with "Navaho"
This was at a time when the Indian song was in demand. There were
three others to show the drift, "Hiawatha,' "Anona" and Laughing
Water"
AS to the most rewardful songs, the ballad always has been and
ALWAYS WILL BE a prime favorte. The coon song is not nearly
so popular now asformerly.
THE "FEATvRE SONG" LIKE "5EDELlA" AND "cHEYENNE,v
HAS A LARGE FOLLOWING, BUT ALWAYS THE BALLAD WILL APP
PEAL, FOR 1T is FOUNDED ON THE OLDEST AND MOST ENDUR-
ING THEME IN THE WORLD, THE PURE LOVE OF MAN FOR Wo-
MAN.

RESPONSIBILITY OF PAVING.

The responsibility of street paw
ing rests with the Board of Alder
men, no maeter what the people Of
any street may petition, is the opin-
ion of the New'Brunswick Times, and
we believe it a correct view. Very
often the petition for a pavement is
drawn up in some paving company's
office, and is circulated among prop
erty owners by hired agents, who
have absolutely no interest in the
Improvement other than that the
company they represent gets the con-
tract. Men sign without investigat-
ing, and it so happens that sometimes
a street is paved without the prop
erty owners knowing what they are
really getting.
The mere fact, therefore, that a
petition for a pavement is presented
does not relieve the aldermen of the
responsibility. 1t is the duty of the
city officials to see that the people
are not being led astray.

On this subject the New Brunswick
Times says:
1.-THE assertion that since it is the
property owners along a street who
must pay the cost of paving the
street, the selection of the paving
material to be used should be left to
the property wner themselves, is all
right enough as far as it goes, but it
should not be made an excuse for the
aldermen getting out from under any
botched job with the assertion, Well,
we gave them what they wanted, and
If it doesn't suit, it isn't our fault;
we are not to blame
Because a majority of the proper
ty owners Oh a street petition for a
certain kind of pavement does not re-
lieve the aldermen from taking every
precaution to secure a first class job,
and to surround the contract with ev-
cry safeguard. To disclaim respon-
sibility for a job which proved unsat-
isfactory after it had been asked for
by the property owners would be as
illogical as to permit improper or de-
fective work to be done on a pave
ment job because no property owner
made formal protest against it.
while the opinion of property
owners on any street as to the quail
ity and kind of material desired
should have the greatest weight with
the aldermen, it is the aldermen who
are charged with the duty of investi-
eating thoroughly every phase of the
question and of awarding the con-
tract under such terms as to specifi-
cations, length of guarantee, ETC., as
will insure to the people who pay for
the Improvement the very best kind
of work"

The average number of passenger
In each railroad train in the United

Germany carried an average of II per

of the electric railway in this country
and the frequent train service help to
keep down the average. On each OF

aggregate passenger mileage of the
country, according to the Railway
World, divided by the mileage of the

take vibratory treatment. Up and down

sitters need but one treatment. Their

A few are seasick as soon as their
treatment ends. 1t Is "a preventive,

that seasickness is essentially a nerv-

BEFORE COUNCIL
Deuker Suggests that Street

Use Iron Poles.
JOINT POLE AGREEMENT
NO ADVANCE is MADE IN NEGOTI.
ATOMS WITH CENTRAL UNION
ON ACCOUNT OF ABSENCE OF
STATE MANAGER.

A communication from the board
of works to the council was read last
evening in which the board stated
that nothing definite in the status of
the joint pole agreement between the
city and the Cenral Union Telephone
company had been reached, owing to
the fact that the state manager of
that company was absent from his
headquarters at indianapolis.
This communication brought up the
Main street pole question again. Mr.
Deuker moved that the city attorney
see if an ordinance could be drawn
up compelling the street car company
to place iron poles on Main street, and
the telephone and other companies
affected to place their wires under
ground.
Mr.. O'Neal, of the board of public
works, stated that the street car cor
pany was now investigating the adj
visibility of anchoring their Main
street wires to buildings, a scheme
which has been found to be very prac-
ticable in many cities throughout the
country.
