eracy and premature work by back-to-
school and stay-in-school campaigns,
public provision for wholesome play
and recreation under trained leader

lated to the care of handicapped chill
dren, the promotion of new legislation
for the care and protection OF children
based on a study of present laws and
local needs, and a study of the child
welfare standards adopted by the chill
dren's bureau conferences on stand

Boishevist Stud Farm.

In the Live Stock Journal of London correspondent relates the observa- tions of an English horse-trainer re- gently escaped from Russia: "The Bol- shevists went to all the stud farms and divided the stock among themselves. The best stallion in Russia, imported just before the war at an enormous expense, was given to a peasant, who took the horse off to his village in the interior to draw his cart for few days and then be slaughtered for food. The bolshevists then started an improved stud farm under nationalist manage ment. They made 1t up of six stallions and one mare"

Location at Uranue.

The latest calculations, based on the perturbations of Uranus, are stated by Dr. Eric Doolittle to show that the hypothetical planet beyond Neptune is nearly four billion miles from the sun, and requires 283 years to complete a revolution in It's orbit. It Is much smaller than other distant planets, with a mass only six times that of the earth. This is a secret of it's elusiveness, and its discovery is expected to reveal minute body of only the twelfth or thirteenth magni- tude. Search is now being made for this mystery of the skies near Gemini's western border.
