AEW YORK — George Balanchine is a thin, slight Russian with
11 enough hair on his head to cover half the baldness of Moscow.
Were he to comb the hair on the right side of his head straight
back and bring it around behind his head it would drape over his left
ear. When he leaps onto a stage to instruct his underlings in the finesse
of tap and ballet routines, it dangles beneath his chin. One of his man-

THE VERY IDEA:
WJEHEMENT PROTESTS of the Nazi authori-
V ties against the recent bombing, or alleged
bombing, of a German passenger station by
British airmen is something that leaves the world
speechless with a blend of outright amazement
and downright disgust.
If this protest had come from a government
whose own hands are entirely clean, it might
have commanded a respectful hearing from the
nations of the world. But just what is one Ger-
man passenger station compared with the cities
and villages and churches and cathedrals and
schools and families pounded into a pulp and
pulverized by German airmen on the plains of
Poland ?
The same authorities who now complain that
a passenger station in Germany has been made
the target for bombs have wrought more destruc-
tion among eivillians and non-combatants than
any other nation of all time.
HAVING drenched the homes of millions of
defenseless people with successive waves of vio-
lent death the Nazis now denounce as barbarous
the bombing of a single passenger station. ■
And at the very time that they were voicing
their protest against the destruction of an ob-
scure railway depot the Nazi authorities were
gleefully announcing that the. king and royal
family of Norway had barely escaped with their
lives from an inferno of bombs let loose by Ger-
man air raiders in the vicinity of Nybergsund.
Such things are beyond the understanding of
western people. Such manifestations of incon-
sistency sound more like the fulminations of dis-
torted mentalities than they sound like the right-
eously indignant protest of rational beings.—

PROGRESS AMID CONFUSION
A MERICA, the most inventive and enter-
H prising of nations, has turned its at-
tention this,ye ar to paying a long-deserved
from the asbestos-encased pipes. Surprisingly,
the heat becomes bearable within a few minutes
and after a block or so of tramping, almost uu-
noticeable.

"Ask Mac if you don't believe
me," he said finally.
That silenced her. She remem-
bered the older man's words of the
evening before. He had called the
situation a "mess" and warned her
to keep out of it. Exactly the sort
of thing a man—a decent man who
liked and felt a friendly regard for
a girl, a stranger—would say if
the facts were as Ab had presented
them.
"I think you had better tell me
a little more about it,” she in-
The Electric Range is so simple in its operation . . .
so positive in its controls that you get uniformly good re-
sults each time. There is no "guesswork" when you use an
pose of Boys and Girls Week. During re-
cent months and years the fact has been
-riven home to us that the majority of
crimes committed in our country are only
slightly beyond the ‘juvenile delinquency’
type. Instead of overcrowding our penal in-
stitions with youngsters who are ot in-
herently bad, considerable attention has
been centered on the influences which lead
young people into lives of crime. In almost
innumerable instances, it has been discov-
ered home conditions, poverty, unwise use
of leisure time, lack of educational and rec-
reational facilities, and the like are fore-
most among the contributing factors.
“Boys and Girls Week," said Mr. Grif-
fith, "will represent a period during which
the attention of the entire community will
be focused upon the various phases of the
life of youth. It gees beyond that, however,
for Boys and Girls Week is meant to serve
as a week during which special attention
will be focused upon youth. It is our hope
that ultimately we shall be able to view
every week during the year as a sort of
Boys and Girls Week. It is certain that only
through constant attention and activities
can we hope to be able to be of real assist-
ance to youth.” -

The capitol itself is center of a spider-web of
tunnels and steam-pipe conduits that finger their
way to the House and Senate office buildings, to
the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court
building and down the capitol’s backyard to the

Deeper down under the capitol and the clus-

But the catacombs that nobody knows are
made up of the systems of tunnels that run from
the central heating building and carry the big
steam mains out to all official sections of th
city. The smallest of these are four feet wide
and over six feet high; the largest eight feet wide
and seven feet high. Five steam mains lead out of
central heating and these are locked against the
walls and ceiling of the tunnels. Steamfitters,
working in pairs, are making inspection tours up
