' on Colored Beams
Mrs. Mary Hallock Oreenewalt,
■whose Japanese villa at Wildwood
has been closely guarded during a
series at laboratory experiments
on.au.instrument designed to emit
wjlftKabe terms "nouf-athar," or
essence, announces that the
rftscffiije, cnipaincl in a console
cabinet, will be installed on top
of the Wildwood Gables observation
tower.
.from tne lop of tins structure,
Which ■ Is of great height and built
in the. style of a lighthouse, Mrs.
Greeirwalt plans to interpret
emotional themes by colored lights
bf varying intensity as musical
themes are interpreted by sounds.
Farewells, flashed in rhythm
through a battery of powerful
fcolored lights, will follow ships far
to sea off the coast of southern
New Jersey, and further experi
ments in the effect of new light!
music will be made.
Machine Won Sesqui Award
Mrs. Greenewalt, whose home !s
in Philadelphia* was awarded a
medal for her demonstration of
“nour_athar” at the Sesquecenten
nial exhibition. Since that time "she
has devoted much time to improv- I
fug her invention.
A perfect background, she said
Is supplied at Wildwood Gables by
the gently sloping beach, the surf,
the Sound at the west, Cape May
just across the inlet, and the rose
bordered highways girt by homes
of Spanish architecture.
The new instrument is operated i
by keys similar to those of an
organ. Each key controls a strong
beam of light, which is directed
through color filters dyed accord
ing* to standardized formulas. Pedals
and! handles control the light in
tensity, and various adjustments
make an intensity range of several
thousand degrees possible.
** Abstract Motion Arouses.
Manipulation of 'the keys and ■
pe'd&tJT enables the color composer
to • make artistic combinations of
ligfrt In varying degrees of inten
sity which are as pleasing and
capable of arousing abstract
emotion as are musical com
positions, according to the inventor.
Greenewalt, before her mar
riage1 to Dr. Frederick L. Greene
watu. of Philadelphia, was Miss
Mary - Hal lock, of Massachusetts,
and a direct descendant of the first
Governor of Connecticut. Her son,
Crawford Hallock Greenewalt, mar
ried Miss Margaretta L. du Pont
daughter of I. S. du Pont, of Wil
mington, Del., last year. Dr. Greene
wait is medical director of Girard
College, in Philadelphia.
WOMAN ATTORNEY
BLAMES OWN SEX
Could Avert Most Di
vorces—Men Too
Busy for Trouble
“Most men are fools and can be
managed by women,” according to
Miss Dorothy Frooks, youngest of
her sex ever to be admitted to prac
tice before the United States Su
preme Court.
The young woman lawyer insists
that women are more clever than
men and for that reason she places
the blame lor most separations on
her sex.
“Any woman could hold a home
together if she wanted to,” says
Miss Frooks. “Men are occupied
with business and do not have time
to hunt for trouble. I do not ap-1
prove of women whose lives are
cluttered up with pink teas and
bridge parties. Naturally they be
come dissatisfied. (
“In my opinion, no couple should
secure a divorce or a separation
until they had been married Jor five
years. I think that is a reasonable
time within which a couple may ad
just themselves to each other’s
habits.
“Then, too, it is a short enough
time to enable them to return to
the environment from which they
came. If a girl marries a very
wealthy man and remains with him
three or four years she is still able
to return home and resume her old
habits. But if she waits too long
it would be almost impossible. 1
don’t believe cold-blooded laws,
however, can control love.”

j Harbor and Tuckahoe roads. The
contract will include the erection
of the bridge and will cover every
thing except the construction of
the railroad overhead crossing that
will be built by the railroad com
pany.
Shuster's Garage and Dare's res
taurant properties in Main^street,
Mays Landing, will be purchased
by the State to make the highway
possible. Th6 entire area of the
road and bridge will be graveled
for a year to allow settling.
The bridge presents the largest
item in the contract, and it is ex
pected that it will be one of the
most beautiful bridges in this sec
tion of the State. The supports
will be sunk far below the river bed
in anticipation of the heavy traffic
that will follow over it, and plans
include lights and sidewalks on the
structure. The bridge will open a
large territory across the river
from Mays Landing to development.
Work will be begun in October,
it is said, and will be completed
sometime early in the spring. The
project will furnish employment to
a large number of men during the
fall and winter, and it involves al
so the building of a new road from
Main street to the river and from
the other side of the river through
Postville to the4 Harding highway
at Twin Lakes.
