MOSCOW HAS ONE
 DEPARTMENT STORE
And Customers Are Lucky to Get
 Near Counters

Moscow, Dec. II. R)-In Moscow's one and only big department store every day Is like the day before Christmas. From the opening hour in the morning until the doors arc locked at night, shoppers stream through them in 8 pushing. unhalt- ing procession.
 There are no elevators in the Iig four-story building and the ayairways resound to the shuffle of many feet.
 1t every counter there are many shoppers, at every cashiers win- dow a queue, and where calico and other cheap necessities are for sale, the crowd is held away by guards, who permit only 50 or 60 persons to approach the goods at time.
 Each article bought at the gov- nrnment- owned Mostorg, as the store is called, nut be paid for ,sc7arately.

PHILIPPINES OWNED.
 BY U. 5. 8 YEARS.
Treaty Of Paris Brought Islands Under American Control

Manila, Dec. l1.-(UP)-Thirty years ago this month a treaty was signed halfway around the world from Manila with momentous con- sequences for the Philippines.
 It was the Treaty of Paris, by which Spain gave up a sovereignty over these islands which stretched back to more than two centuries prior of the United States Declara- ton of Independence.
 Today the Philippines are being administered by their tooth gov- ernor-Henry Lewis Stimson, one time American secretary of war. The first of the long line of foreign ad- mtnistrators was Miguel Lopez de Legaspi, who assumed office in the year 1864.
 It was Major General Wesley Merritt who first acted as Uncle sam's long arm controlling the Philippines after the days of '98." He was followed by Major Generals Elwood s. Otis and Arthur McArthur, the latter turning the is- lands over to civil authorities July 4, 1901.
 William Howard Taft, later to become president and still later chief justice of the U. s. supreme court, was the first civil governor, and he was responsible for chang ing the title back to the old Span ish one of governor general during the administration of his successor, Luke E. Wright.
 Jaudenes Last Spaniard
 The last Spanish governor general who actually functioned as such was Fermin Jaudenes. But notwith- standing the surrender of Manila to American forces on August 13, 1898. the Spanish government appointed General Francisco Rizzo as acting governor general. He gave way to Diego de los Rios, who established his government in Iloilo and held this authority until the eventful treaty of 30 years ago today.
 By the terms of the Treaty of Paris, the United States acquired the Philippines by purchase-for $20,- 1 "oo, o,o0o-and not by conquest. Two things remained to be done. One was 'le putting down of he Filipino in- surrecnon. the other the settlement l of the ''friar lands" dispute. Military means achieved the former; Taft, l who conferred with the Pope, | drought about the latter through ! expenditure of $7.239,7s4.66 for the f xtensive agricultural land held by the priests. Thus from the Treaty of ! Paris stems the present relatively 1 settled and placid situation of the i Philippines.

0. K. GIVEN ANNEX
TO HOUSE BUILDING
Committee Orders Favorable
Report. on S7,500,000
Office Structure.

The House committee on public
buildings and grounds today ordered q
favorable report on the Dallinger bill
providing for acquisition of site di-
rectly south of the Capitol Building and
erection there of another House Office
Building. Effort will be made to have
this measure passed at the present ses-
sion.
The bill authorizes an appropriation
of 100000 for acquisition of the site
on either side of South Capitol street
between B and G street, Delaware and
New Jersey avenues.
It authorizes an appropriation of
$7,500,000 for erection Of the model
tireproof Office building.
The project has the approval of the
Commission Of Fine Arts.
The plan is to acquire all OF the
property now in private ownership ir
the two parcels of land east and west
of South Capitol street, but to builo
at the present time only on the eastern
parcel. The Government owns prac-
tically one-half of this property, which
is occupied by the Public Health Serv-
ice, Coast and Geodetic Survey and the
United States and Canada Boundary
Commission. Also on this property are
the Congress Hall and Potomac Hotels
The other parcel is practically un-
developed and the Government owns
about one-fourth of that It is expected
it will take about. two and one-half
years to have the new building ready
for occupancy. Congress has for more
than 10 years recognized the need for
such additional Office space in order
that each member be provided with
