Youth Tell Their Story* is the voice of 13,528 Maryland youngsters (16 to 24) and the American Youth Commission. Director of the commission is broad-shouldered Homer Price Rainey, 42, who was a star halfback and pitcher at Austin College, Texas, became a college president at 31 (Franklin College, Franklin, Ind.) and headed Bucknell University for four years. In 1935 he and the commission set out to get to the bottom of the youth problem...
...LIFE. Francis D. Healy, elderly chairman of St. Louis's Municipal Art Commission, saw them and snorted that the fountain would be better named "Wedding in a Nudist Colony" (TIME, Aug. 9).

Joining J. M. Barrie, H. G. Wells, and a number of others in this favorite form of fantasy, Mr. Anderson goes in for character analysis and nostalgic reminiscence in the field of Victorian sweetness and propriety...
...most potent advertisements of national craftsmanship are the modern World's Fair and the modern superliner. Three years ago the French Line launched the vastly chic Normandie as one of France's supreme artistic achievements and somewhat incidentally as a ship. Cunard White Star's vastly smart Queen Mary is supposed to embody the artistic as well as the ship-building genius of Great Britain. Sailing last week on the first return voyage of Holland-America Line's brand new Nieuw Amsterdam (TIME, May 23), the U. S. travelers for whom she was frankly designed found...
