found no respite for weeks, Raleigh
and Winston-Salem had rain, with

NOVEL USE
FOR PIANO

A UNIQUE method for the pre-
"A vention and correction of
weak foot and flat foot is recon-.
.mended by DIR. NJ. Jay Chanin of
New York City. who has devoted
months Of study and research
to the subject. The treatment
consists in manipulating a player
piano with stockinged feet, as
shoes prevent free movement and
muscular control.
The specific merits in the
operation of player-piano for
the correction of the flat foot are
physical exercise plus the mental
stimulation afforded by the in
fluence of music as a therapeutic
measure, and both are far-reach-
ing in their effects. The sooth-
ing properties which music pos.
sesses unquestionabIy help ma
terially to reduce the discomfort
and pain which may be involved
in the use of some Of the mus
fcles. AS for the physical exer-
else which the active manipulAt-
ing Of the piano produces, it is
DIR. Chanin's contention that the
resultant benefits are far su.
perior to those of ordinary dane
ing or operation of a bicycle.
