The variations between the
counties in infant death rates is
even greater than in total deaths.
AShc and Currituck are tied for
first place with the lowest rate
of infant deaths deaths at one
year of age or younger) at 800
per thousand Of live births. CO.
lumbuS county ranked sixty
third among the counties with 10
infant deaths for a rate of 4l.9
per 100 live births. Washington
county had the worst rate. 1872
infant deaths per Thousand live
births. and OnSlow was only
slightly less better with a rate
of 1871. In other words, there is
difference of more than 600
per cent between the counties
with the lowest rates and those
with the highest rates. The COM
parable figure for the United
States as a whole is 2S.O per
thousand live births and for
North Carolina is is 32.5.
The most encouraging feature
OF the infant mortality story in
North Carolina is that it is i'm
proving all the time, despite the
fact that the State still ranks
low comparatively. The 1853
rate of 32.5 per thousand live
births is the lowest in the
States history.
Both the total death rate and
the infant mortality rate are
higher among non-whites than
among white people. The death
rate among whites is only about
one-third as high as among nom
whites. and the infant death rate
among non-whitcS is double the
rate for whites.

siderably more than double the

were three other counties with n
death rate of less than 600 per

Pennsylvania. The comparable
rate for the United States as
whole was 90 per thousand.

The larger ensemble numbers
are confined to the post-inter-
mission portion Of the program.
Among these are the lightning
fast, intricate Ell Cortijo, danced
by Greco and the male principals
and the Rincon Flamenco. The
latter, usually Greco's finale, may
lose a bit Of its intimacy but
nothing of it's contagious frenzy
on a stage as large as the amphi-
theater's.
But, pleasant surprise, it is
not the finale this time. Greco,
Snowman to his heels, yester-
day saw for the first time, and
fell in love with, Dancing Waters.
These, he decided, would pro-
vide the perfect background for
the delightful Madrid 1890 num-
Der in the company's repertory.
and one Of its most popular.
So, Madrid 1890 was danced
as the closing number with the
magic fountains dancing In the
background.
Greco never hit upon a more
charming inspiration.

AS in the case of Ballet
Theater's programs, the open
air does something for Spanish
dance. More possibly than even

Spanish comes more directly
from the earth and much of it
from the earthier emotions.

LONG before the rain slyly
began to fall at intermission--
It took on more of the relaxed
and happy mood Of folk festi-
val.
Greco. a superb Snowman, is
still the electrifying and DOM
inant figure in his company. but
1t is clever for him to move over
to make room for a multitude of
others. One of these is Theresa
Maya, a combination of all the
movies sultry beauties, and a
gypsy as rowdily funny as she is
fiery in her dancing.
AS the new blood he is con-
stantly injecting into his COM
pany, Greco has come up this
time with youthful and bril-
liant flamenco pair, Jose Man.
ella and Margarita Zurita. The
two, who sing a. well as dance,
come as cIsse to stealing a Greco
performance as is likely to hap
pen until the founding father
decides to lay aside his high,
hard heels.
Another newcomer IS Paul
Haakon. who Is no more Span
tsh than Hamlet, but who was
q Spanish dancer as long ago
as the musical Rio Rita" His
major participation was as the
male member of q trio illus
trating the vigor which young
Spaniards put into dance i'm
provisation.
It is a program adapted to the
open air which Greco has
brought here from a brilliantly
successfully Lewisohn Stadium
season in New York.
AS usual. it is one patterned
to show that whatever Spain
may lack of political vitality. her
dancing is still approximately the
most vigorous to be found any
where. It makes of pantomine
the eloquent thing it is supposed
to be, whether its subject is pas
sion that has reached the bounds
of restraint or something as
comic as one of Miss Maya's
gypsy moods.
A few technical mishaps, an
opening night tradition, did
nothing to conceal that lightning
tempo is the essence of Greco
dance program. There is room
for the languidly graceful. even
the stately, in the multiple items
the company presents. But the
loveliest of these are show pieces
designed to give the performers
pause for breath and to change
into another of the brilliant cos
TUNES in the company's huge
wardrobe.
\
The first half of the program
Is a dance vaudeville devised to
show the skills of Greco and his
associates and, in its variety, to
show that there is little of life
that Spaniards cannot dance.
The chief novelty Of this portion
of last nights bill was the intro
dnction of the Bronze Gypsies.

Missing GirIs, Is and IS PMer
Church as Police Hunt Them

While police and relatives
searched for them, two truant
school girls were busy yesterday
pilfering money and religious
articles from two Alexandria
churches.
The girls, a 13-year-old from
Arlington and 15-year r-old from
Alexandria, were reported miss
ing yesterday morning. They
skipped school Wednesday and
failed to return to their homes
that night.
Police broadcast a l3-State
lookout. The father Of the Is
year-old spent most of yesterday
visiting the homes of his daugh-
ter's friends in hopes of finding
her. He finally found the girls
at the home of a friend in Suit
land, Md.
Meanwhile, Alexandria police
received reports of theftS from
Grace Episcopal Church and St.
RitaS Catholic Church. The Rev.
Innis L. Jenkins of Grace Church
told police he saw two teen-age
girls with a small suitcase leav-
ing his church yesterday. The
suitcase belonged in the church's
communion chest. He said the
girls gave him the case when he
talked to them. He later found
they had hidden a silver cross
