OF 1t the village has learned 1t:
tune has been found or made TO

steps and the music. Composers
seize on the dance, the town
parties use it, the palace of the

How dances come and 60 is one
OF the most romantic stories in
musical history. Why certain
of moving the feet should
become a national custom is little
less than a mystery.
Dancing Ia an expression OF
that rhythmical instinct which
precedes the musical instinct.
II Is the foundation upon
which the musical superstruc-
ture Is erected. Hans won Bue-
low, the great German con-
ductor and pianist, Is often
quoted where he said. "In the
beginning was rhythm"

light of a bright fall moon.
Heavy explosions could be heard
from the region of Boulogne across
20 miles Of channel water, and

with a flaming barrage..
It was N more in a string of
assaults upon the Nazi invasion

Oil plants, factories and docks
were blasted last night at the
naval stations and ports Of Kiel,
Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Wilhelm
shaver and Westermuende, near
Bremen, the British said.
At the same time bombs were
loosed on shipping and quays at

Den Helder naval base, a string OF
airports on Texel. Norderney,

naval base, they reported.
Other explosions and fires de-
veloped from the raids on the Kiel
docks and the Deutsche petroleum
works at Hamburg, fliers said.
One pilot swooped to 5000 feet

The immigrants from European
countries came to the Americas
not for conquest, Mr.. Roosevelt
said, but to live together in har-
mony.
Here, we do not have any dual
citizenship" he asserted. Here,
the descendants Of the very same
races, who had always been forced
to fear and hate each other in
lands across the ocean, have learn
ed to live IN peace and in friend

The Presidents address climaxed
a two-day swing through Pennsyl-
vanla and Ohio to inspect great
cogs in the nations defense pro

After spending the night aboard
MS special train, Mr.. Roosevelt
stopped off at Columbus this morn
ing to review a dress parade at
Fort Hayes, headquarters of the
sixth Corps Area of the U. S..
Army, and to e Poindexter Viii
lage, a federally-sponsored housing
development in a Columbus east
side negro district.
During the afternoon he in
spected the army's extensive air

He spent part of the afternoon

ALI of 1.-THE assault, the de-

and melancholy pattern; the out

falling bombs rolling up toward
the center of the city , and the anti
aircraft guns numbered an old tat

Two hours after the first night

the haze which had lain over Lon
don and the ground guns redoubled
their fire to keep the Nazis far
aloft.
At about the same time, the air
ministry announced that II Ger

10 British fighters lost.
1t was the sixth raid since the
morning, five daylight thrusts hav.

streets, new dead among civilians.
These daytime attacks had in
volved a total of some 200 or more
planes, and while most of that
number had not got far inland
beyond the Kentish coast some
houses and stores in London were
smashed by raiders floating far
overhead and cloaked in clouds of
mist. Water and gas mains were
burst in one district.
Among those who died were six
persons drowned by a rush of wa

was loosed upon them by an aerial
bomb that burst a water main in
the house above them.

The first detachment of bombers

More of these fighters got
through, these sources said, than
had the heaVyDpomper squadron
in earlier days, but they had done
less harm since each is capable of
carrying only a few bombs.
