n n OSCOW.-In the plan for re-
M construction Of Moscow, ap-
WI proved by the Soviet govern
u ment, may be found on a
large scale for the first time in the
history OF city-planning features in
tended to distinguish socialist town
from those which bear the capitalist
stamp.
Soviet architects and engineers have
been working three years on the plan,
and the reconstruction is scheduled
to begin in January. AS matter
of fact, some projects which are cs-
sentially part of the broad plan
already are being put into effect.
Among them are building the subway
and completing the Moscow-Volga
Canal
The plan is due to be finished in
10 years. During the first three
years, however, many of its more i'm
portant and spectacular features are
to be completed. Among them are
the clearing of congested streets in
the center of the city and the build
ing of wide radial avenues, the
STRENGTHENING of the Moscow River
within the city and construction OF
two boulevards along its banks, and
the building of apartments beyond
the present city limits.
City Will Be Extended.
Eventually the city limits will be
extended considerably in all direc-
tions. During the first three years.
however, construction will be limited
mostly to the heights northeast of
town, which once were known as the
Sparrow Hills and in Soviet nomen-
clature are marked as the Lenin Hills
Nearly every visitor to Moscow,
whether in Czarist or post-revolu-
tionary days, has climbed the Sparrow
Hills for a view Of the city at sunset.
From these wooded heights Napoleon
according to a psuedo historical anec-
dote, Immediately borrowed the per-
fumed handkerchief of an aide to
dispel the stencil of the city. From
the same hills in the days of the
revolution Bolshevik artillery bom-
barded the Kremlin. Three years
from now the forest which covers
them should have disappeared to
make way for apartment houses. Dur
ing the first period of reconstruction
the plan is to add between two and
three million square meters Of f1ool
space, and a great part of it will be
in new buildings on the Sparrow Hills
Perhaps the most striking feature
which distinguishes Moscows plan fol
a city built-or rebuilt-along social.

lation is to be limited arbitrarily

1916 the capital shall have a popula.

of a gain as optimistic statisticians at

been q notable advance in the mortal

Japan, at Least, Gains by
Ethiopian War

Whether Signor Mussolini ever succeeds in getting
his shoulder firmly under the white mans burden IN
Africa, he at least seems certain to give the japanese
q powerful boost in their drive across Asia.
This isn't at all what the Italian dictator set ont
to do. but the japanese are great people for making
hay while the sun shines; and the Italo-E Ethiopian war
constitutes, from the japanese standpoint. one Of the
most noble outpourings Of sunshine that has been
seen since the World War.
The cables from China have been carrying signifi-
cant little dispatches Of late. Step by step. the
japanese have been edging forward in their plan to
bite off another chunk Of the worlds most ancient
nation.
The latest news is a flat prediction that a vast area
of north China will go the way Of Manchukuo with
IN a month.
Now all this. as Nathaniel PETER points out in the
current issue Of Asia Magazine. is a direct result of
Mussoltni's drive on Ethiopia.
The European nations don't want to see japan
~subiugate China. Robbing the Chinese Is a game
additionally reserved for whites. But Mussolini has
given Europe something to think about much closer
home.
The merry old game of robbing the African has
always been a closed game. too. and when an out
slider begins to muscle in on II, the players have no
eyes for anything that may happen somewhere else.
This constitutes Opportunity for Japan, and the
japanese have never yet been known to miss an o-
portunity when It was offered to them.
But the opportunity is even wider than that. Sup
pose that the league does finally work out a peace
full solution Of the Ethiopian tangle. Every suggestion
yet made for such a solution calls for the surrender
by Ethiopia to Italy of much wealth in the way Of
land and resources.
The holdup. in other words. IS 70 be stopped BY
having the victim hand over his watch and half Of
his ~bankrol, anyway.
The moral lesson in any such settlement as that
would never be lost on Toxic. 1t would be definite
proof that the way for a needy nation to get what it
wants is to take a couple Of hand grenades and 60
calling on the fellow across the street.
Obviously, If an aggressor is to be bought off by a
tender Of the loot he was after in the first place, the
effort to restrain international banditry has collapsed
utterly.
Mussolini may never conquer the Philippians. but
he is making japanese conquest Of China a great deal
easier and more certain. And Mr.. PETER, veteran
observer of Oriental trends. remarks dryly:
IF I we're a Japanese general. I should light in
cense before the Duces portrait in one Of the more
furioso presentiments he loves 50 well"

New Orleans, q Salt Lake City banker told the dele
gates that the bankers ought to boycott government

He had barely had time to catch his breath when
Jesse Jones. OF the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton. warned the delegates that some bankers are
millstones about the necks Of certain railroads. and
that the railroads as a whole cannot recover until
they are freed from the weight.
All this sounds as If there might be quarters In
which Mr.. Roosevelt's celebrated breathing spell had
not yet been heard Of; on the contrary, it has every
appearance Of a continued Donnybrook.

The Philippine Islands do not constitute the largest
or the most %populous segment Of land in the Far
East; but as Of today they are certainly the most
unusual-and, in some ways, the most important.
For in these islands, for the first time. q great oc-
cidental power which took possession by force of arms
has hauled down its flag and Of its own volition
restored freedom to a dark-skinned people.
Manuel Quezon is now president Of the Philippine
Islands. A decade must pass before the transition pc

inauguration was a momentous occasion. 1t signalized
the appearance in the Orient Of a brand-new policy.

The most important and most critical period in
ones life is at birth. A persons entire life may be
affected for good or evil, physically. by the way in
which he is brought into this world.
Care Of the newborn baby is Of greatest i'm
portance.
As soon as a baby is born, the doctor cleans its
mouth SO that material may not be inhaled into tho
lung and thus set up an or pneumonia.
Immediately after birth a newly born baby should
always be wrapped in a warm blanket. Then when
the cord which unites 1t to the mother has ceased to
carry blood and has been cut, the infant is placed in
a warm bed with hot blankets and kept warm with
suitable hot water bottles far enough away from the
body and sufficiently protected to keep from burning.
A newly born baby has difficulty in adjusting itself
to changes in temperature. Therefore, its tempera-
ture must be controlled from the outside until its own
temperature-regulating mechanism begins to work.
Most experts agree that the skin Of a newborn baby
should be oiled daily for a while, after which neutral
or superfatted soaps may be USED.
Because there is a tendency for newly born babies
to lose weight, they should be permitted to lie as
quietly as possible and should not be disturbed by
movements or noise.
Newborn babies do not take food well. either from
the mother or a~rtificially in the form Of cows milk.
Feeding BY the mother is the safest and best method
for improving the babys nutrition. and IT is we'll
established that babies fed by their mothers are sick
less often and die less frequently than those fed ar
officially.
A baby should be fed by its mother at least once in
the first "a hours and attempts should always be
made to have the mother feed the baby before any
resort is made to artificial feeding.
II, however. the mothers milk is insufficient In
amount, or II for other reasons she cannot undertake
to feed the baby, the doctor will supply a suitable
formula for each child.
After the third or fourth day every baby should be
given opportunity to nurse regularly according to a
schedule which the doctor will establish.
