RUSSIAN FACTORY NURSERY
How Peasant Children Are Cared For
While Their Parents Are at Work
Strong Force for Gooo

Interesting is the study of working
people in a great Russian factory told
in Social Service by Vladimir F. Gne-
sin. Russian electrical engineer. Hs
tells how the great mills were found
ed in 1922 by Peter the Great, and how
they have grown larger and larger
from that time until now, when $4,000
people are employed. Among the in
teresting things which the writer tells
concerning efforts made for the benefit
OF working people in this factory, he
says. regarding the nursery:
when the parents 20 to work they
are compelled to leave the care of their
children to nurses. chiefly old women
or little girls. Such care consequently
causes many cases of sickness among
children. In consideration of this and
in order 10 provide for the proper care
Of the children of the peasant parents,
the company has established nursery
where every child brought in is
washed, clothed in clean clothes and
fed. This establishment. besides being
direct force for good, has also the
advantage that IL establishes among
the mothers proper principles for car
ing for their children"

WOMEN "BUcK THE TIGER"
How the Dealers in a Montana Gam
bling Resort Get the Work
ing Girls Wages.

In Butte. Mont. there is gambling
house where the patronage Of ladies
is the special feature OF the manage
ment. and where all kinds Of women
play the good old game Of faro, perfectly
at home and without fear Of interrupt
ton. The entrance is from an alley near
Broadway, and the house is luxuriously
furnished Carpets are laid on the
floors. softened lights shine over the
players, courteous attendants deal and
shuttle the cards and pay bets or take
winnings without the slightest SUCCESS
ton of the incongruity of the situation,
says the Denver Republican.
Here many fashionably gowned wom-
en- of Buttes elite come in parties or in
pairs with escorts. to quietly venture sill
yer or goldpiecee coined from copper by
their husbands. who busy themselves in
Butte's continuous political war.
Women OF the business world keep
track Of the game. and both dealer and
player usually maintain a rigid silence.
Money is passed out for chips with the
simple word, five" or ten. ''and con-
versation is economical to a minimum.
And there are schemes to inveigle the
unsuspecting that only the initiated I'M
derstand. Many women OF the middle
classes are among the most regular pa
irons Of the place. A waiter girl was re-

the money-two twenty-dollar bills. one

half-dollars. She picked up the money,
put the bills in her purse and laid a
half dollar on the ace II lost She laid
down a dollar. II won. Another few
moments and she had lost the silver. Re-
luctantly she drew out a five-dollar note

ST. Louis Early visitors TO the Louis
lana Purchase exposition have found
at ST. Louis an exposition so nearly COM
plete that they have in no way missed
the few minor details that were unfin-
ished on the opening day. and which
have since been completed. In fact in
an exposition of such proportions as
this it would be impossible TO discover
a thousand little details that might lack
completion.
Weather conditions were against the
exposition management for a few days
preceding the opening. Now every
thing is favorable. and the great fair
is entirely complete. a completeness, we
must repeat, that is so enormous that
il is all but impossible TO comprehend
what il has meant TO the builders. The
last yestige of scaffolding that for
few days surrounded some OF the less i'm
portant buildings has been torn away:
the last wagon load Of refuse hauled
from the grounds; every flower and
shrub the landscape gardeners included
in their scheme OF decoration growing
under the benign influence of spring
sun, and the exposition stands forth
completed giant beautiful in concep-
tion, wonderful in execution, stupendous
in size, by far the masterpiece of the
worlds expositions.
Stupendous size does not half express
It. This worlds fair has many sur
orises for the visitor. but its immense
;ize is the greatest astouisher of all.
Amaeement at the extent OF the fair is
heard from every visitor
1t has been interes ting to watch the
visitors these first days Of the fair. In
teresting to see what would appeal to
then strongest. but after one has studied
the mass Of humanity in their quest for
the wonders 1t is hard to select any one
feature that could he designated as a
general favOrite with all OF course all
visitors are enthusiastic over the general
picture, the grand en- semble, which has

grounds 70 the electric railways, .hs
machinery in operation in the exposi-
ton buildings. the pumps supplying
water 10 the cascades and fountains,
the refrigerating plant and for other
purposes. The total horsepower used
az Chicago did not exceed u, 900 and at
the Pan-American not over 5000. in
comparison with the 10000 to $1,000
here.
Electricity had only five and one
half acres at Chicago. while at 81. Louis
nine acres are given TO the same de-
partment. besides a large display OF
electrical generators in the Palace Of
Machinery.
No one should be deferred from visit
Ing the worlds fair because OF the fear
that living expenses In St Louis are too
high. II anyone has this notion II is
high time that it be dispelleG There is
absolutely no doubt OF the fact that one
can find excellent living accommoda-
tons in St Louis now at rates not ex-
ceeding the charges this same month in
New York, Chicago or any other great
American city.
No one need pay more than one dollar
a day for good room That is an aver
age rate. though many accommodations
Of excellent character may be had for
less There are many unrented rooms

day in the newspapers Hundreds OF
restaurants serve meals or give short
order service at the same rates
that prevailed before the exposition
opened.
II is suggested that the stranger in
St Louis, who wishes to find reasonable
clearinghouse rates. make inquiry at
a grocery store or meat market in the
vicinity where he desires to stop. The
grocers and butchers know nearly all
the boarding houses in their neighbor-
hoods and they are quite willing to
oblige the stranger by directing him 10
a place TO suit his purse and his tastes.
The want" columns OF the daily news
papers also contain columns OF small
advertisements for boarders or dodgers.

has there been even half as much
power developed as supplied from the
various prime movers in the Palace of
Machinery In large boiler house
standing west of the Machinery build
ing, filled with the latest and best pro-
auctions of skilled boiler manufactures,
steam is generated to supply 10000
horsepower to the various engines in
the Machinery building In addition
to this about 10000 horsepower is re-
ceived by electric cable from power sta
tons in the city Of St Louis. But the
greatest interest is in the engines them
selves rather than in the large capacity
OF the exhibit, for among them is a
giant turbine or rotary engine develop
ing 5000 horsepower. besides others of
a similar type Of smaller capacity. This
Is the first display OF turbine engines
at a large exposition. as its develop
ment Is a very recent achievement OF
mechanical engineering and invention
At the Chicago Exposition the larg-
est gas engine developed only ten
horsepower; the visitor to st. Louis
may see a gas engine with the capacity
OF 300 times larger than the Chicago
engine. The 1900 horse power gas en-
CINE is the largest engine OF its char
acter ever built. Many other gas eu-
gines of various types developing from
1000 to 1850 horsepower complete this
feature OF the exhibit, and there are
many of the more familiar reciprocal
ing engines Of the latest pattern and
highest efficiency.

In the Palace OF Machinery about one
half are comprised in what Is known a.

half being exhibitors engines. Nearly

but few get further than the point from
which they catch their first view Of this
grand picture.

exclaimed one woman near whom | was
standing as she caught her first glimpse
of the beauty of the cascades and the
magnificence of the grand exposition

There is another feature, or rather
collection of features. which seemingly
appeals to every visitor. and with good
reason. and that is The Pike" The
fair management do not wish TO appeal
to the public with a side-show. They
built an exposition which should stand
forth to the world on its merits as an
educator, as q monument to the worlds
progress. hut realizing that an amuse-
ment feature was necessary they set to
work TO provide the biggest and best in
this line that has ever been known. That
they have succeeded in this is evident
TO every visitor who travels The Pike"
Nor is this great amusement feature
lacking in educational interest. Here
one may study the architectural fancies
Of the world: here he may study the
nations of the world their methods OF
life, their surroundings. their customs.

maux in their snow and ice bound homes
