Varied Exhibitions
At Many Galleries

An exhibition Of the bold and vigor-
Gus paintings of Samuel Halpert has
been put on in the galleries of Mrs.
Albert Sterner. His work Ia marked
throughout by craftsmanship of the
most certain kind. and the essential idea
OF the picture Is put to the spectator in
d straightforward way. Mr.. Halpert
has always had a distinct leaning tow
ard interiors, particularly interiors
with still life. and in the present collec-
ton there Is admirable work OF this
kind.
The canvas called Summer" Is really
in this class, for though there is a
young woman In II who looks at the
view from a balcony, the still life i'm
terest of the work is predominant. One
Of the most decorative of the paintings
Is the "Sundown on the Lake. The
subject IS not especially exalted. being

seekers, nevertheless. the composition IL
so happy that the work takes on a
genuine decorative charm.
H. Melville Fisher Is exhibiting land
scapes in the Ainslie Galleries. He has
spent season among the sand dunes of
New Jersey near Cape May and found
motifs that inspired him TO broaden his
method considerably. His sand dune
pictures are in distinct advance of the
work he has previously shown. One OF
lis most interesting compositions Is n
study OF village of fishermen sheltered
~ the sand hillocks--a village that has

atory, whose pet oyster became
famous by revealing to science
the power Of the mollusc to
change is sex, has studied tho
relationships Of the common her
nit crab to the anemone and GER
tain worms which live commun-
ally with it.
The conclusions reached by DR.
Orton are that both animals are
benefited by their habits. The
anemone derives advantages from
the hermit crab by being dragged
about with it's entacles on the
ground, and being given oppor-
tunities for picking up food left
or lost by the crab. The crab
obtains protection from fish at.
tacks owing to the unpleasant
ness of the anemones as food.
In the case Of the worm. one
was observed to crawl along

literally take with impunity q
piece Of food from between the
crabs jaws and bolt it-an &C

GREEK AND
EX|LE6 FACE misery
AND DEATH

Dedeagatch, Western Thrace,
Dec. 28.-Heavy snow, icy winds
and intermittent rains have
wrought great misery and suffer
ing among the half-million shell
terless refugees scattered over
Thrace and Macedonia. Unless
nelp is prompt and generous, the
Greek and Armenian exiles in
these areas will perish in large
numbers. Already the majority
are half-naked, starving and dis.
eased. All the elementary needs
of life are lacking. Food stocks
in the towns are growing low.
Famine must ensure this winter
unless flour is sent in.
Human woe and wretchedness
seldom have. reached such levels
Large numbers are dying daily
of exposure and inanition. The
condition Of the children . and
babies is pitiful. Infectious dis
ease are rampant. Typhus is
gaining such headway that it is
feared the great epidemic Of
1918-1919, which began at Caval-
la, will recur. Lift in the East
always has been cheap, but never
so cheap as in this corner Of Eu-
rope. Had the population been
permitted to remain in Eastern
Thrace and faced the Turkish in
vader, their lot could have been
little worse.
When The Associated Press
correspondent crossed the little
river near Drama where Paul
baptized the first Christian, he
was assailed by a band Of hunger
,maddened Greek women and
children who begged pfteously
for a crust of bread. They said
they had been on the march for
"a days and were subsisting on
beetroots. Although there was a
foot Of snow on the ground,
many were shoeless, coatless and
hstless. The blistered, bleeding
feet of the children left red
silhouettes in the snow.
In spite of many promises OF
help from the outside, little has
been done to assuage the misery
OF these helpless exiles. Most Of
thm are women and children
They are sadly in need of help.

1t always has been a scientific
mystery how living plants build
up the sugar, necessary for their
growth, from the carbon dioxide
or carbonic acid, a component
part of the atmosphere, which
they absorb, by mixing it with
carbohydrates and the starch
universally found in plants.
Their experiments convinced
the scientists, Professor E. G..
Baly and Professor Heilbren,
that not only is it possible to pro-
duce formaldehyde from soda
water by the action Of very short
wave length light, but that it is
also possible to produce formal
dehyde with ordinary sunlight
in the presence of malachite green
Or other appropriate coloring
matter.
Carrying their investigation a
little farther they succeeded, by
acting upon soda water with NJ.

sugar. They found that formei-
dehyde turns directly into sugar.
The yield Of sugar may be in
