Montevallo, January 10.--(Special )--"Ir you want your pieces to sell don't ever put on titles which are not descrip- tive was the warning given any pros pective composers by Cedric w. Le- mont, pianist-composer of Mobile, who gave recital of his own compositions Friday night, January IA at Alabama Technical Institute and College for Women, Montevallo.
 Comments on how and why he wrote various compositions and humorous re marks on the remuneration received for many of them, formed a most interest ing element of MT. Lemont's entertain ment, and stayed off monotony from q programme containing a great deal or music of similar class. That the pianist-composer was we'll received was amply attested by. tue warm applause from his critical teacher and student au- dience.
 MT. Lemont told his audience that much absolute music, kind written with no other end than form and char acter. is often transformed to pro- story. by the mere addition of a title. He cited Beethovens Moonlight So- nata" as classic example.
 l. As whole. his programme presented melodc pieces which showed much in- Eyention. His playing was attended with the style and taste of an artist. Note worthy features were his interesting teaching pieces which were entirely re- lieved from trlteness. A number or salon pieces were on the programme.

It is estimated that as soon as the camp becomes properly known to automobile tourists in different parts or the country there will be not less than GO who will take advantage of it's con- veniences each week This estimate is based upon the number camping at the various cities of the south with similar accommodations.
 In addition to the advertising value to be derived from such camp 1t is stat ed that large returns will be received in business way. Records compiled by the officer in charge of the camp at Kansas City indicate that the tourists make an average expenditure of not less than $25 per car for automobile acces. sories. repairs gasoline, oil and similar supplies, while the average expenditure for groceries, luxuries, tobaccos bedding and other necessities frequently went as high as S75 per car It is pointed out that these sums are smaller in the smaller cities, but it is believed that since Birmingham is the largest city tourists would find in several hundred miles, the figures named above are con- servative.
 As an example of the financial and other benefits to be received from the camp the following record of the Kan sas City camp from the Club Review of that city will be interesting:
 From April 21 this year, when the camp opened, until November 21, when it was closed, 1,5o6 motor cars stopped a, the camp.
