THE SRO signs were out at the
Il Civic Theater last night as JAG
Broderick and Anna Ludmila pre-
sented An Evening Of Ballet, "
which was a glorious triumph for
both the producers and Frederick
Burleigh, Civic director, whose
Sunday evening entertainments
reached the peak Of success with
last nights show.
The program included a perform
ance of Les Sylphides," the ro-
mantle reverie which was presented
here by the Monte Carlo Ballet
Russo earlier in the season. This
ballet, staged by Miss Ludmila, Was
danced by II girls and Mr.. Broderick
in a professional manner which
compared favorably with the dane
ing of the Monte Carlo group. OF
purse there was lacking the polish,
the grandeur of the travelling
troupe, but Mr.. Broderick's dancers
caught the spirit and the tempo OF
the idealistic classic.
Miss Harriet McCord, whose
dancing was a delight throughout
the evening, was the star Of the
"Sylphides' number. Mrs. Marietta
Coval Taylor also appeared admir-
ably in her "Mazurka" routine.
Mr.. Broderick proved that he is
not only a dancer and a teacher but
also a top-notch photographer by
his display last night of his new
ballet Rhapsody in Blue" done
to George Gershwin's music, and
containing a lovely combination Of
the semi clasSical and modern in
fuences on the art of the dance.
The ballet, bearing rhythmic re-
semblances to Union Pacific" was
outstandingly original, smoothly
done, and although written to mod
ern music, carried no faint of jazz
ness. 1t told simply, the story of
the influence of the Blues" a

McCord, and the Deeper Blues"

MORE ABUNDANT
LIFE FOR SOUTH
REAL IVA COAL
Sale of Electricity Is Only
Incidental to Roosevelt
Program.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, April l. - 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
form Of higher standards of educa-
ton, living and opportunity.
The Tennessee Valley, itself. is a
yardstick enterprise both as to the
costs of electrical power and the ex-
pansion of opportunities. 1t en-
braces a watershed Of approximately
2.5OO.OOO persons largely rural. Com
pared with rural communities in the
North, the South is economically
under-privileged.
Living standards for too many
Southern families are inferior. 1t
has been estimated that among the
poorer farm families cash income
does not exceed $3.50 a year. A sur
vey in one Southern state showed
that in several selected counties
about IS per cent Of the families
subsisted without such customary
comforts as mattresses for their
beds.
Statisticians report that popula-
ton is not increasing materially in
the Northern cities and Northern
rural conditions are about the
same. The South is more produc-
tive of people. Therefore, it has
been estimated that so years hence
-1985-the majority of the citizens
of the United States will be des-
cended from Southern stock.
Has National Significance
Any improvement in the Southern
economic environment, therefore
would be of national significance.
literally, and this is a factor in1u-
encing New Dealers in defending
IVA against all comers. 1t is one
of the New Deal experiments" in
which President Roosevelt has a
personal interest because he regards
Georgia as his adopted state.
AS the program for the South de-
velopS there will be increasing en-
phaSis on crop Investigation. Mr.,
Roosevelt has supported cotton con-
troll efforts despite complaints from
many sources that foreigners are
increasing their production tC
uSUrp American markets as We cur
tail.
Those who attempt to project the
New Deal program into a second
f%our-year administration believe
the South will be asked permanent
ly to reduce its cotton fields.
Cotton Primary Project
Commerce Department reports re-
veal nationalistic enthusiasm
throughout the world to raise more
farm produce. Foreign nations
have two perfectly understandable
motives.
First, they prefer to raise their
own wheat, or beef or cotton be-
cause 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 courtry's interna-
tional balance Of trade record by a
few cents.
Second, homegrown foodstuffs
tend to make ? country self-Sufh-
cient in time of war or other emer-
gency. Cotton is one of the primary
products of peace and war. 1t goes
into cloth and explosives.

strange inexplicable force or
instinct fulfilling it's destiny.
A little while ago DR.. John
B. Watson and DR.. S. K. Lasley,
of Johns Hopkins University,
sent five adult terms to Key
West. The birds were then
placed aboard vessel bound
for New York. Five days out,
off Cape Hatteras, the terms
were released. Exactly five days
later two of them were back
in their nests at Bird Key, one
of the Tortugas Islands in the
Gulf of Mexico. A third ar
rived back home, raped on the
door, so to speak, but was told
to clear out by his tickle lady,
who had taken up with a new
boy friend. There is no record
as to the two remaining terms,
but they, too, may have ex-
perienced the dismay Of Enoch
Arden.
ARCTIC TERN
The point is that these little
creatures must have covered
fully one thousand miles from
stormy Hatteras to Bird Key,
and well inside of five days. A
few years ago an Arctic tern
was banded while only a few
weeks old at Turnevik Bay,
Labrador. A little less than
four months later it was picked
up dead on a beach in Natal, on
the East coast of South Africa.
This is probably the record
flight for a banded bird.
