Counting Culories

The person who has become
markedly overweight as result
of overeating should put himself
in the hands of a physician, but
the maintenance of normal weight
depends largely upon learning to
count Galleries. Many people are
puzzled by the word "calorie,"
which is a term of measurement
used to measure both the fuel
value of foods and the body's en-
ergy needs.
For example, a tablespoon of
sugar furnishes SO calories; a Ia
blespoon of butter, 100 calories;
one-fourth of a large head of let
tuce only IL calories.
The energy requirement for a
normal adult man engaged in
sedentary occupation is from 1900
to 1890 Galleries daily; work done
standing or walking requires up
to 5000 Galleries daily. A woman
requires from 1000 to $500 cal
cries daily, depending upon her
activities.
By becoming familiar with the
caloric value of foods, it is posi-
BILE to construct a well-balanced
diet, and at the same time to cut
down on fuel values so that you
consume less energy foods each
day than the body requires. This
will force the body to barn some
of its own fat for fuel and result in
safe, scientific gradual weight
reduction.
l shall gladly send readers Of
this column a chart showing the
caloric value of all the commonly
used foods.
You will find that by eating 500
calories less each day than the
body expends, you can reduce
your weight a pound a week. And
with the chart before you, you
can cut out 500 calories without
even missing them.

New Color Process
An Advance in
Film Making.

A MOTHER advance in movie making
has been achieved with the dis
covery that color pictures can be made
with standard movie camera equip
ment, without extra cost and with
the same facility as black-and-white
pictures. Technicians, magazine and
trade paper editors, and news syndicate
writer's attended a special showing of
Cosmocolor Friday at R-K-O Radios
New York projection room, and viewed
the first picture to utilize it, "A West
ern Welcome" two-reel comedy.
Through this process, speed. low cost
and elimination Of special color back
grounds are achieved. Those invited
to see "A Western Welcome" viewed .
picture that was produced As fast as
any black-and-white two-reeler and at
no additional cost. In his talk before
the demonstration, David Blanken-
horn, president Of Cosmocolor Produce
tions, Inc, explained the Cosmocolor
technique.
"A special lens was afnxed to q
Mitchell camera, for the making Of
"A Western Welcome" Blankenhorn
said. Ordinary studio lighting con-
ditions obtained and incandescent and
arc lights were used. No extra prepa-
rations were made"
The new process offers pleasant pas
tel tones, captures flesh and hair tints
and has sharp definition. The same
negative is used as in black-and-white
photography; developing follows the
same course. With the specially de-
signed printer and the color-press
development, the Cosmocolor process
comes to life. g..
Blankenhorn predicts that within
five years all movies viii be in color.
