CURBS DISEASE TURNING GIRL'S BODY TO STONE

Doctor Credits Vegetables From Garden Lacking Calcium. IN r in'-* fr/i LOS ANGELES. April 1 A >mall garden m the yard of Dr. Harry Foshay Walker, a tall grayhaired. slow-talking young dietician, today was believed to have yielded a cure for r alcinor a—a dreaded disease which slowly transforms its victims into stone. The treatment, he believe*, conmsls o f a simple change of diet —a reversal of the process of nature which transfers calcium from bone to muscle. Dr Walker began his experiment* a month ago when Rola Bravton. attractive 23-year-old blond former artists model, appealed to medical science in the hope a cure could he found for the strange \nalady with which she had been stricken. The young woman's arms and legs were cold tw.u hard as marble. She had been told repeatedly that the disease would ehiil her whole body within a few years. Dr. Walker had cured •partial rase.” of the disease which has claimed 2* known victims throughout the world, but therp was no record of a cure in a "typical case.” Berlores Calcium From Soil Out of his small garden, the young doctor brought grown in soil from winch caic.um had been extracted. He eliminated all else from Miss Bra> ton's diet. He announced today that the progress of the disease had cen definitely ar-resti-d " * Miss Bravton is now able to walk and can move her hands," he said. *'L-ife is returning to her muscle tissues and she is entirely free from pain.” Miss Bravton quit modeling for artists two years ago when she was stricken First symptom* werp agonizing pain. She lay in bed for months, her fret swollen and inflamed. Stabbing pains shot through her legs. Even her facial features were beginning to change as the disease crept up through her shoulders and nock. Definite Improvement Shown Today, after a month of eating nothing but the vegetables grown in the garden purged of calcium, she walked across the room of her home, talked freely and gestured w h her arms. • It's wonderful.” she said “I can hardly believe that I am going to get well.” Dr. Walker explained that in Miss Bratton's case, her entire system was toxic. Nature, following its normal process, filtered calcium from the food supp’v and the bones to replace dead pesh tissue. Now the ralrium is beiiijr restored to the bone. "The process Is exactly as we hoped." he said. 'The skin is completely detached from the hardened muscular tissues and these are softening. The lack of calcium in, the diet is causing the blood to re-' verse its former process “ Dr. Walker is not completely satisfied with the cure, however. Further Tests Proposed "Chemical extraction of calcium from soil usually leaves irritants that are as serious as poisons already in the body.” he explained. "I hope we have found a process which will not leave these irritants—a condition of soil similar to that on certain South Sea islands, notably Tahiti and Hawaii, where iron is not present ir. the soil.” The physician asserted it is impossible to determine whether a complete cure can be effected until the treatment has been continued for some time. “TV ts of Miss Bray ton's blood for calcium show a definitely increased content.” he said. "It is a slow, natural process both ways, but it is a distinct indication that the treatment is accomplishing its purpose.” •SLEEPING BEAUTY’ IS 30 YEARS OLD TODAY Patricia Maguire Pavses Fourth Bitrlnlay in Toma. /!•; Tnitrrt Prrtt CHICAGO.

MORE ABUNDANT LIFE FOR SOUTH REAL TVA GOAL

Sale of Electricity Is Only Incidental to Roosevelt Program. Bp T nitri Press WASHINGTON, April 1. The Tennessee Valley Authority project! is developing for New Deal experts into a 50-year plan to aid the South. ! Development of electrical power is a secondary factor. The principal objective is to provide the South with a more abundant life in the j form of higher standards of education, living and opportunity. The Tennessee Valley, itself, is a yardstick enterprise both as to the costs of electrical power and the expansion of opportunities. It embraces a watershed of approximately 2 500.000 persons largely rural. Compared with rural communities in the North, the South is economically ( under-privileged. Living standards for too manv Southern families are inferior. It has been estimated that among the poorer farm families cash income does not exceed $250 a year. A survey in one Southern state showed that in several selected counties about 75 per cent of the families subsisted without such customary comforts as mattresses for their beds. Statisticians report that population is not increasing materially in the Northern cities and Northern rural conditions tire about the same. The South is more producj tive of people. Therefore, it has ! been estimated that 50 years hence I —l9Bs—the majority of the citizens of the United States will be descended from Southern stock. Has National Significance Any improvement in the Southern ' economic environment, therefore, 1 would be of national significance, literally, and this is a factor influencing New Dealers in defending TVA against all comers. It is one of the New Deal "experiments” in which President Roosevelt has a personal interest because he regards I Georgia as his adopted state. As the program for the South dej velops there will be increasing emphasis on crop diversification. Mr. Roosevelt has supported cotton con- ■ trol efforts despite complaints from many sources that foreigners are increasing their production to usurp American markets as we curtail. Those who attempt to project the New Deal program into a second four-year administration believe the South will be asked permanently to reduce its cotton field*. Cotton Primary Project Commerce Department reports reveal nationalistic enthusiasm ; throughout the world to raise more I farm produce. Foreign nations have two perfectly understandable motives. First, they prefer to raise their own wheat, or beef or cotton because they need not export their own gold to pay for what they raise at home. Every bushel of wheat raised in a wheat-importing country improves that country's international balance of trade record by a few cents. Second, home-grown foodstuffs tend to make f country self-suffi-cient in time of var or other emergency. Cotton is one of the primary products of peace and war. It goes into cloth and explosives.

The Theatrical World Civic Patrons Cheer Jac Broderick’s Ballet BY JOHN THOMPSON

THE SRO signs were out at the Civic Theater last night as Jac Broderick and Anna Ludmila presented "An Evening of Ballet,” which was a glorious triumph for both the producers and Frederick Burleigh, Civic director, whose Sunday even in g entertainments reached the peak of success with last night's show. The program included a performance of "Les Sylphides,” the romantic reverie which was presented here by the Monte Carlo Ballet Russe earlier in the season. This ballet, staged by Miss Ludmila, was danced by 12 girls and Mr. Broderick in a professional manner which compared favorably with the dancing of the Monte Carlo group. Os course there was lacking the polish, the grandeur of the traveling troupe, but Mr. Broderick's dancers caught the spirit and the tempo of the idealistic classic. Miss Harriett McCord, whose dancing was a delight throughout the evening, was the star of the "Sylphides” number. Mrs. Marietta Coval Taylor also appeared admirably in her "Mazurka” routine. Mr. Broderick proved that he is not only a dancer and a teacher bui also a top-notch choreographer by his display last right of tis new ballet “Rhapsody in Blue,” done to George Gershwin's music, and containing a lovely combination of the semi-classical and modern influences on the art of the dance. The ballet, bearing rhythmic resemblances to "Union Pacific,” was outstandingly original, smoothly done, and although written to modern music, carried no taint of jazziness. It told simply, the story of the influence of the "Blues,” a group of dancers headed by Miss McCord, and the “Deeper Blues,” representing classical and modern dance, on the two dance figures, portrayed well by William Wylie and Miss Bobbie Everett. tt u n THE second of the three parts of the evening’s program was titled "Divertissements,” and included a comical success in Mrs. Taylor’s "Kathinka Polka,” and a second triumph for Miss McCord in her "Will-o’-the-Wisp.” The presentation of the Brodericks last night showed plainly that

there is some definitely successful ballet work going on in the city. That Mr. Broderick understands this difficult type of dancing is proven by his own ballet, the hit of the show. Th lighting, costumes and continuity of the dances have never been equaled in a locally presented recital. Other dancers who carried a part of the show in splendid solo work were the Misses Sally Williams, Mary Lou Koster, Elizabeth Jones, Helen Dettra and Patti Roesch. The response of the overflowing audience which jammed the theater last night gives one confidence in the future of dancing in Indianapolis.
