What the Soviet ballet is like was hard to discover from Vecheslova's and Chabukani's dancing. They used the conventional steps, only more of them. The piano accompaniment was too thin to be noticed.

STEPHEN FOSTER, AMERICA'S TROUBADOUR-John Tasker Howard-Crowell ($3.50). In a 70-year-old ledger in Manhattan's Bellevue Hospital can be found the record of the death of Stephen Foster. The No. 1 U.

The Chief Constable of Aberdeenshire forbade Scotsmen to take potshots at the beast. Local innkeepers and tradesmen figured the monster had put into their pockets ?5,000 in new trade...
...interesting thing is that none of the combatants seem to realize that the reaping of a gold profit from devaluation is not the only means of pulling virtually out of thin air, the means of financing the recovery program. Even the Number one Brain Trustee assumes that the whole program must some day be payed for through taxation, as the War is still being paid for. But by a little cooperation with the Federal Reserve Banks, the Treasury can finance at least part of the program without its costing a cent. The method is equivalent in effect to the issue...
