HANDY JAZZ BLUES.

Strange and wierd are the new dance records offered by Columbia, and known as the "Jazz Dance Blues"
 W. c. Handy, of Memphis, Tenn, composer of many notable "blues'' successes, is announced as the origina- tor and composer of these new and striking fplues," and they are played by his own orchestra of Southern negro musicians. Certainly they are the novelty of the hour in dance music. Their rhythm is a sort of super-syncopation which fairly echoes the jungle it's wild beast and bar barrie undercurrent, and their call to the dance floor is insistent.
 Ten of these Handy Orchestra "Jazz Dance Blues selections are of fered by Columbia Among them are Livery Stable Blues," The Hooking Cow Blues" Fuzzy Wuzzy," Moon light Blues," "Old Town Pump" s'Sweet Child" and others with equally striking names. The names are no more novel than the music, which Will give the newest note in syncopa- ton to any dancing parH.

FOUR GOOD REASONS WHY
TENT SHOWS ARE BARRED
GIVEN OUT IN OKLAHOMA

Oklahoma City, Okla. THE recent
order of the Oklahoma Council of De.
Tense in barring all carnival and tent
shows has caused much talk among
the theatrical following all over the
United States. In answer TO a recent
inquiry from The Billboard the fol
lowing reasons were given.
First. the carnivals and tent shows
employ a number OF people who
should he in profitable industry,
next, large number OF the shows
which operate in this state are far
from the best morally many of them
being OF the forty miner variety
they take from the country a arge
amount Of money which could be used
for war purposes, without bringins
any benefit to the people in exchange
especially in the harvest fields and
places where laborers are employed,
