City of Archangel Vital Russian Base Is Supply Link Bétween Russia and United States Little has been heard of Arch. angel, Russia's - vital northern . base, since it was announced last October that this would be the - port of entry for Amertean supply ships. * Since that time; however, it has assumed paramount impor- tance as a supply' link between . the Soviet Union and the United €: States, : 5 The: We "Somewhat less convenient, -per- haps, than Murmansk, 180 miles westward, which is ice-free all the year around, Archangel is usually frozen from November to 'April, and 'can be kept gpen only with great difficulties, Khat these dif- ficulties have been overcome is apparent from the reports of sea- men having recently arrived in the United States from Archangel.. These seamen state that several score DBrifish and American ships were currently seen in the harbor there, an \that in Archangel it. self the stréets are crowded with British, American and Polish staff officers, Life-in this Vladivostok of. the North, today, is' exceptionally gay. The presence of large num. bers of foreigners lends color to this otherwise drab. semi-Arctie town, Several excellent theatres are always crowded to capacity, while the numerous restaurants are comparatively well stocked with a variety of foods. * - . During World War I too, Ar- changel played an important role. The city, which was called the Russian Klondyke because of ita boomlike - development, was oc- cupied by the British in August, 71918, It became a major Allied base for operations in the White . Sea, and eventual action into the interior of Russia. In 1918, short- ly before the collapse of the Ime perial Army, the Germans, with . Finnish co-operation--as today-- had begun extensive operations against the southern Murman coast. Today, Archangel has a far greater military importance than in 1918 because of the de- velopment of industry and trade along the Arctic coast of the Soviet Union, ' L] LJ * Archangel's railway to Moscow runs roughly parallel to that of Murmansk for several hundred miles. In all, the distance from Archangel to Moscow is about 700 miles, compared with roughly --1,200 between Murmansk and the Russian capital. Last October, a new 'railroad line of tremendous strategic importance was complet- ed. It follows the White Sea coast and connects the two paral- lel lines between Archangel and Moscow, and Murmansk and Len- ingrad, starting from the latter - line at a point 30 miles south of Kem and 270 miles south of Mur-' mansk, Its eastern terminal is + Plesetsk, 100 miles south of Arch- angel and. 260 miles north of Moscow. * Since the southern part of the Murmansk-Leningrad. line _ hms been cut-by German and Fin- nish troops, the new railroad ins' added importance as a link tereen Murmansk and the capi- tal. : / Corruption of Youth 'Hitler's Worst Crime Speaking before the Chutch Club Lord Halifax made the pen- - strating remark that "one of the deepest crimes that Hitler has committed" has been to "debasu the noblest qualities of youth-- enthusiasm, self-sacrifice, devo- tion--to the low service of ma- terial ends." For obviously, without the 'wholesale corruption of Gérman youth through the in- culeation of a false religion of power, Hitlerism could not have beccme the appalling scourge thay ~ It has revealed itself to be. Hitler succeeded in what would have seemed, at first glance, to be an impossible task; he erased from . the minds of a wlole generation every vestige of Christian feeling or even of purely humane instinct, and-put-in-its place a blind and Air tH AG ng.

'What Science Is Doing WEATHER 'SIGNS' "Quite a good many of the old- fashioned "signs" have good scien. tific warrant, even though others Jack solid fouydations, says Sel-- ence Service, Back of the old jingle, "Red in the night, sailors' delight; red in the morning, sailors take warn- ing," is the truth that bright sun- sets usually come during periods of settled weather, while a red- dened sun (at any time of day) indicates the presence of moisture- laden particles in the air, that "may later precipitate rain or snow. Even at sunset, a bleary, reddened sun. (as distinguished from red- tinted clouds) may warn of a storm to come. A rising column of 'smoke from a chimney is another fairly re- liable "sign" of fair or clearing weather.. It means that the air is dry, whereas smoke that goes up and then comes down again shows that the air is heavy with moisture which - the smoke - par- ticles gather unto themselves until they are so heavy that they sink, A ring around the moon, or to be academically precise, a halo, is another fairly dependable wea- -ther "sign." So is a fuzzy or blurry appearance of moon or stars. These appearances are due to the interception of light by thin clouds running ahead of an approaching general storm area, There is, however, whatever in the belief that the crescent moony "holds" rain if its horns are pointed upward, "pours" rain if they point -downward. Those phenomena are purely as- tronomical, and have nothing to do with conditions on earth. The - same holds true for the position of the "bowl" of the "Great Dip- per" as seen early in the evening. Convert Sea Water no truth . Into Drinking Water The most fascinating picce of equipment to be installed in three new trans-Atlantic flying boats being built for American Export Airlines is a still for converting sea - water inte drinking water, says Business Week: "These stills are to be standard equipment in the planes' collapsible lifeboats. The still operates on solidified fuel in cans, each one of which will burn for two hours, time enough to distill a quart of water, The condenser is a flexible tube which is thrown overboard so that sea water cools the steam and thus converts it into drinking water, The fuel can be.used for cooking, too, and the water container be- comes a pressure cooker, able. to carry the ingenious de vice, American Export Airlines To be had to take out a regular New _York State distiller's licence, Evidently Got 'Em!
