Berta Hader of Nyack,
New York, Uses Tone
Color in Painting

The amazing clavilux which in.
terprets the greatest composers in
terms of colors has become an es-
tablished part of musical expression,
but it remained for a New York
woman artist recently to take prac-
teal advantage of the great prin-
ciple.

child drawings appear in McCalrs

@Just as the pressure of key on
the clavilux releases an exquisite
color equivalent, SO the audible mu-
sic chord releases 4 color in the mind
of the artist" she explains.

Lecture On Saner Food
At Library Friday

A large and representative gather
ing of mothers and children too,, frCrn
the various wards of the city and
about all of the teachers came out to
the lecture in Carnegie Auditorium OF
Friday afternoon to hear the lecture on
Saner Food by Miss Susan Myrick of
Macon. Miss Myriok is an expert lin
her line and makes her talk intensely
practicali and interesting as well.
Questions from her auditors at the
conclusion of the talk showed how
profitable the hour had been to them
and the answers were valuable too.
The theory of keeping well without
medicine resolves itself about four esr
sential points, she says. Every day
one should eat something bulky or
hard, something green in the way of
vegetables and fruits, and use much
larger quantity of milk, particularly
should growing children, than is or
dinarily used.
The excessive use of white flour
products and of meat is pronounced
harmful and whole wheat breads ad-
vocated as wholesome, pleasing sub
stitute for both especially when COM
bined with a liberal amount OF milk
in the daily diet.

CYCLONE SPREADS TERROR

Paramount picture directed with sig
nal success by James Cruze. Twenty
powerful wind machines aided by fire

The storm that wrecks the town of
Ganzcy is a humdinger. The village
was good sized one of forty or more
houses and all were erected for de-
struction by the hurricane and deluge.
Their roofs are blown off, their shut
ters torn away, and their chimneys fall
But the old homestead stands like a
rock-symbolic of the indestructabil-
ity of the greatest institution of civil
ization-the home!l
Twenty wind machines and a four
inch pipe line with fire engine pump
ing the water from a nearby river,
over distance of three quarters of a
mile, formed part of the equipment for
producing the greatest storm scene ev-
er filmed. According to experts, this
Paramount picture which comes to the

Tuesday entailed greater amount oi
ingenuity and difficult work for all con.
cerned than almost any picture thai
