Comment of her military alliance
with France, Soviet Russia is
bringing pressure upon the French
government to begin Immediately
the general staff conversations
which have been postponed re-
peatedly since the Franco-Soviet
mutual aid pact was signed.
While France prepared a sharp
protest to Belgium on her neu-
trality move, international News
Service learned today the purport
of Soviet Foreign CommiSsar
Maxim Litvinoff's surprise incog-
nito visit to Paris was to force
commencement of Franco-Soviet
general staff talks.
Necessity Urged
Having lost Belgium as an ally.
Litvinoff point out, France has
no alternative but to strengthen
her military tie with the Soviet
Union.
France today drafted a note to
Brussels in the hope Of salvaging
something from the wreckage
caused by King Leopold's neutral
ity pronunciamento.
France. it is understood, is ask
ing Belgium these questions:
l. What is Belgiums attitude
toward the old Locarno Security
Pact and the possible new pact?
2. What is Belgium's attitude
towards the League of Nations
and collective security in gen
eral?
3. Do French and Belgian
military understandings con-
tinue?
Germany is secretly delighted at
the trend of events and it was
felt here that Litvinoff fears the
possibility of a western agreement
among the Locarno powers in
which Russia might not be per-
mitted to participate owing to Ger
man objections.
Litvinoff urged a military agree
ment with the Soviet Union as
absolutely necessary" to France,
at least until the French Maginot
line of defenses can be stretched
along the F'ranco-Belgian border
to the North Sea to meet the latest
threat to Frances status in Eu-
ropes diplomatic poker game.
Counting Poland
Meanwhile, during the present
visit of Polish Foreign Minister
Josef Beck in Paris, an attempt
is being made to tighten up
Frances alliances with Poland
and the Little Entente to offset
the Belgian detection.
The statement of King Leopold
breaking Belgium'S alliance with
France and adopting a state of
armed neutrality, is being
played up" for French public
consumption as blow to the
Reich. resulting from Chancellor
Hitler's military reoccupation OF
the Rhineland.

cording to weather and wind. He can be aired quite well in room. Should always be warm and dry.
 Other Factors to Consider
 Location has a great deal to do with 1t. High places are not as damp as low ones. Certain areas, too, have more sun than others. The community in which one lives will effect time and duration of outings.
 The older baby, conditioned to outdoor air, begun in summer and fall, is less susceptible to colds than the new one. All things favorable, he may have his open-air siesta. But particular care must be taken that he is well covered, has extra heat in the form of hot-water bottles, when needed, and is out of draughts and wind. Also that he be kept well above the ground, because thaws or invisible rnists lie thickest near the earth.
 Never put a sick baby outside Or one who is under par general ly, unless it is professionally or- dered.
 Choose Better Days for Outing
 Pushing him in his pram is nc different from the porch airing and the same factors enter intt his safety. Choose the bettel days for his outings.
 When airing the baby in hi room, the sides of his' bed should be covered and a screen set I,H to divert draft. Put on hi warm bonnet to protect his heat and cover him warmly. Sleepini bags are excellent or he may hav' coat and mitetns. He must no chill.e
 He should not perspire, c course. As stated before, 1t take judgment, and thought and reg ulation, this winter airing. | Copyright, 1886, NEA Service. Inc.

of woman who put red draperies, orange cushions, @ pink chair and @ green stool in her living room. Yet, not more than week ago, I saw a girl who wore scarlet lipstick, purp- fish rouge, orange nail polish and green eyeshadow. You can imagine how she looked.
 Now it stands to reason that cos. metics must bear some relation to your natural coloring. This, of course, makes them harmorlize subtly with each other. You can see for yourself that the girls rouge should have been rather pink to match not only her blood tones but her red lips as well. She should have saved the green eye-shadow for evening. choosing brown for daytime. Had her nails carried out the vivid color scheme of her lips, the chances are she would have looked more expert ly groomed.
 Here's another example: Yes. terday heard a young husband say that his wife talks about noth- ing except here weight and diets. Then and there he pointed out that he has no objection to her food fads = he merely wishes she wouldn't discuss them for hours every eve. ming. If you, too, are guilty o1 monopolizing conversation with comments on your weight and diet theories, discipline yourself imiile- diately.

Shall let my baby sleep out- doors?" is the question asked by so many young mothers.
 Once long ago I heard a doctor, one of the fresh-air fiends, so- called, make this statement: Any air is better than house air" He did not mean 1t, of course. He failed to qualify. And as a result he misled one young patient of his. She took him literally and had very sick boy.
 I shall try to do his qualifying for him, and mention 8 few per- tinent points overlooked in those days by the fresh-air extremists. First of all, no YOUNG baby should be popped out on the porch for his airing in the mid. de of winter. He must be at least month old, should be carried out in arms, and kept in the ozone only three or five minutes on a NICE day. No zero or near zero about 1t.
