1T has happeued. Futurism has tn
vaded the kitchen. From Paris comes
word that Jules Maincave, one of the
foremost chefs on the continent, has
been converted by Marinetti and is
tickling the palates of gourmets-and
probably tickling the doctors, too
with new regimen. He has set out
to make the world eat on a new basis.
The prime tenet of the futurist cook
is to blend foodstuffs hitherto care
fully kept separate. The avowed aim
is to provoke unheard of sensations.
Here are some of the dishes Main
cave is setting before patrons of one
of the principal restaurants of the
grand boulevards of Paris:
Herring with raspberry jelly.
Whipped cream on tomatoes.
Veal cooked In absinthe.
Maincave is not only the Leon Bakst
but the Matisse de Cezanne, the Gau-
guin of cookery.
PROFOUND IMPRESSIONS
The expression of gastronomic
fundamentals in a manner to produce
the most profound impression on the
inner consciousness is my aim.' he
says according to the Paris dis
patches received today.
His conversion opens a wide field of
possibilities. Now the jaded may
look for novelties that are novel.
Cookery has, indeed. already harked
back to another school of art, the
pointillist. This school used confetti
like dots of color in stipple. Her
boarders today declared that Mrs.
Mary McPruin had already resorted to
this style in her boarding house.
Then there are the symbolists. How
far this school might go in the kitchen
is beyond telling. Papier mache
dishes and walls of scents might not
be beyond them.
CUBISTS HAVE START
The cubists, of course. have a start
ready made in the Neapolitan ice
cream brick and the veal loaf, and
the very newest. Of all the schools, the
Synchromatic, is said to have estab-
lished special agency for the con-
version of chefs. In this school, each
color is believed to- have a distinct
meaning, as form and light Their
piece de resistance would be a steak
from Gelett Burgess celebrated pur-
pie COW, not to mention the pink ele-
phant of commerce.
The start has been made by the tu-
turists, and there seems no hope. save
the possibility that the powers of Eu-
rope will combine to drive 'em out

Strange Gift of Berkeley Miss
Proves Puzzle to Parents
and Investigators

What1s your color? What color is
your name? Have you pink aura or
is the color of your personality red
brown, purple. orange, gray or black :?
For names and people have colors just
as truly as the rainbow has, only the
majority of people do not see them.
Little Mildred Johnson. 9 year old
Berkeley girl, sees in every name and
every person a color. To her remark
able mind the color of a name flashes
before her as soon as the word is ut
tered and the color of an individual
Is as real as visible, as the color of
the hat he wears. 1t makes no diff
ference il your hair is black, your
eyes brown, your skin olive, and you
may be dressed in darkest blue, yet
to the widely visioned little colorist
you may give out a bright crimson
hue.
ORIGINAL COLOR SCHEME
No one ever taught the title girl
to feel a meaning in color. Imagi-
native people have often associated
colors with personality. but seldom
has the instinct been found in child.
Mildred's association of names and
COlOTS is quite Otl l6indl. " uti 4hdt y
is red John. brown; Marcus, orange;
Carrie, red; Joseph. black; Tommy,
gray: Regina, purple; Hazel, white;
Alma, green, and so on Ask her the
name a dozen times under different
circumstances and she Will always
give the same answer. 1t is not a
feat of memory, but simply due to the
fact that the same name is always
synonymous with the same color.
The peculiar gift was first noticed
one evening when Mildred was hold
ing the christening of a new doll.
Some one suggested that the new
member of the family be called
Ellen But the little girl protested
that her dolls color was pink, al
though she was dressed all In blue.
and that she should be given a red
name. The doll received the name of
Mary, with which she seemed well
satisfied.
MAKES OWN DRESS
Mildred is an unusual child in other
ways Although Just 8 years old, she
has finished the fourth grade in school
and she has already made herself a
very pretty dress entirely unaided.
She Is blue eyed, golden haired.
When asked the color of name she
sometimes replies instantly. and again
coming from her lips without her vo-
litfon.
The color of a name has nothing
to do with the person to whom 1t be-
longs. nor has it anything to do with
the child's prejudice for or against it.
She does not know how to account
for Rose being red and David brown.
except that she sees these colors
when the name is mentioned.
With the colors of people 1t is lit
tie different. She fees their person
alfty and sometimes without having
seen them can tell their color from
the quality of their voice. Her par
ents have paid no attention to this
strange attribute in the little girl
which showed itself without their
prompting and remains without their
ancoura garment

of the charge of committing muir
derous assault upon his wife, Fred
erich o. Beach, the New York mil

isfaction yesterday of hearing from
the lips of the jury foreman that

Beach was not in the court room
when the jury filed in at 3 O'Clock,
after being out one hour and forty
five minutes. Judge Spain had or
dered a recess when the first half
hours deliberation had failed to
produce a verdict and Beach and his
wife had gone to their hotel.
AS the words mot guilty reach
ed the ears of those packed in the
court room there was slight stir,
but no applause. An instant later
Beach appeared in the doorway with
his face beaming. The news of his
acquittal had reached him in the
hall.
Without pausing even to greet his
lawyers, Mr.. Beach walked over to
the jury box and shook hands warm
ly with every juror within his
reach. He waved and bowed his
thanks to those in the back row.
There was absolutely no case
against you, Mr.. Beach, said Fore
man McCarroll as he grasped the ex-

After shaking hands all around
