every syphilitic baby is a fail
ure of maternal education" a ia
nous syphilogist has said. The
extent of that failure is indicated
by the fact that last year, it was
estimated, 10000 babies we're born
with syphilis in addition to $4,000
still births. At least half of these
syphilitic births can death were
unnecessary. With the knowledge
and facilities we have at hand,
syphilis can be the first major
health hazard to be removed from
the path of the next generation.
Education of the million poten-
tial mothers must be an essential
part of any effort to reduce the
toll of congenital syphilis. 1t is
a problem which must be faced
~squarely by every public spirited
citizen and community leader. To
meet the need for a compact state
ment of the problems of congeni-
tai syphilis for the layman, the
Public Health Service has added
another folder to its V.D. Services.
1t is called "You Can End This
Sorrow and is designed to en-
phasize the Importance of early
examination and treatment in ev-
cry pregnancy. A sample is en-

at is virtually certain that the
money paid to workmen on the
site will be spent here. 1t will be
translated into more sales for our
stores, garages and theatres,
more fees for doctors and dem
tists-and increased flow OF BUSH
ness through every commercial
and business channel in the city"
"South Side Terrace Homes is
the first of two projects which will
be built by the Housing Aathori-
ty of the city of Omaha to pro-
vide decent homes for the city's
low-income families. Contracts
for its construction recently were
approved by Nathan Straus, Adj
ministrator of the United States
Housing Authority, upon recon-
mendation of the Omaha author
ity. 1t is estimated that the total
development cost, including land
and other items, will be $2,542,241.
"South Side Terrace Homes"
will have 522 dwelling units. A
second project, "Fontenelle Homes
will provide homes for 283 fam
lilies and will be built at an esti-
mated cost of 81, 1923, 900. The two
projects, therefore, will provide
decent homes for 805 Omaha fam
lilies, now living in substandard
structures, at rentals within their
means.
while our main objective, of
course is to provide decent homes
for our low-income citizens most
in need of them," Mr.. Howell de-
clared," the economic benefits the
city will derive by building these
two projects in cooperation with
the USHA slum-clearance and low
rent housing program also are
important as tangible returns OF
investment which are of great
value to the entire city"
In this connection, Mr.. Howell
also pointed out that the 805
dwelling units comprised by the
two USHA aided projects are more
than double the number of dwell
ing units of all types for which
building permits were issued in
the metropolitan area of Omaha
and Council Bluffs last year. He
| said:
Omitted States Department of
Labor statistics show that only
1886 dwelling units of all types
were included among the building
| permits issued in 1888 in the
metropolitan area of Omaha, Neb.
Council Bluffs, Iowa. Our two
projects, therefore, represent more
| than double the total number of
! dwelling units financed by private
| capital here last year and, in fact,
the one now UNDER construction,
! South Side Terrace Homes ex-
ceeds their total by more than So
| percent"
The Omaha projects are being
built under the provisions of the
United States Housing Act, which
| apply to all projects on the USHA
| program. The United States Hous-
ing Authority has contracted to
lend the Housing Authority of the
City of Omaha 90 percent of the
/ cost of the projects, to be repaid
in go years, and to make annual
contributions to the local authority
to assure rentals which low-income
families can afford to pay.
The United States Housing Au-
thority now has 267 projects under
loan contract in 129 localities, ac-
cording to M. Howell. The present
lending program of the USHA will
require the direct and indirect la
Dor of more than $4,000 men for
n year each, of whom about
$4,000 will be employed on the
stiles. The other 22O, 900 will work

Poland Fears
BY Germany

Warsaw, Poland, March 29-(AP)
An authoritative German admoni-
ton that Poland turn a deaf ear to
foreign sirens" was regarded in
some Polish quarters today as the
signal of on approaching change in
relations with, Germany.
Warsaw morning papers publish
ed the full text of the admonitory
article carried yesterday in the news
paper, which is the mouthpiece OF
the Berlin foreign office. Many Poles
regarded the article as a hint of Ger
man intentions regarding the Polish
corridor and Danzig free city, former
German territory which now con-
stitutes Poland's outlets on the
Baltic
In Berlin, it was believed that
by foreign sirens" the newspaper
meant Britain and France, in their
overtures to Poland to join an "anti-
aggressor" bloc of nations to deal
with German expansion. Uncertainty
over Germany's intentions, despite
formal assurances, and the fear that
Germany might turn next to Polish
spheres of influence, have brought
about a drive for psychological
mobilization" in Poland. Poles were
aware at the same time of internal
difficulties revolving around de-
mands for cabinet revision to put
up an all-party front in mapping
Poland's future course.
