/ "Of course, there are many instances
where married men pilfer. It is true that
many steal to support their families in
luxury. The young, unmarried men are
subject TO the same temptation. 1 see so
many young men, well dressed, prosperous
looking, and I often wonder where they
get the money to buy such good clothes
when they work for such small salaries.
The desire in young man to be well
dressed will lead him to steal, little by
little at first. He does not call it stealing
the only crime is being found out.

not get along. If they do not get along
you can attribute It to extravaganza IN
living and in dressing. Extravaganza is
one of the greatest evils of to-day. Human
nature is human nature. and unless 1t Is
sustained and upheld by some strong
moral force its tendency is ever down

take dinner with the family, or find out
in some other way whether she could
cook and how well she could do it. If a
young man gets wife who cannot cook
and do the household work. then 1t is
doubtful whether they can successfully
live on that salary.

They must be well mated, and they must
do their best to get along. I believe in
early marriages, but not in hasty mar

their selection; they must be more simple

and then there would be fewer disap-

If it is unwise for a young man getting
salary OF 1900 or less to marry, then
when shall he marry? That is a question
1 think he should marry whenever he be-
neves he can support himself and wife
comfortably. If young men and women
do not marry early, they grow away from
the idea of marriage the older thew he
come, so that is the reason l believe they
should marry early. While much demands

shall not marry"
OPINION OF A BANKER.
Certainly. a bank clerk. or any young
man. can afford to marry on a salary of
1900. or less. year if he is reasonably
economical is the opinion of William II.
Thomson. cashier of the Boatmen's Bank.
Il know of no reason why young man
should not marry II he wishes to. and as
a matter Of fact 1 would rather have a
young married man in my employ. 1t has
been my experience in my banking career
that the young married men are more
trustworthy than the single men. When
they have a home OF their own, they have
something to work for. and the young
married man who is living on a salary of
S1,oo0 or less q year will not live on it
long, for advancement will come 10 him
sooner than TO the young unmarried man.
THE young unmarried men have no in
centive TO save. If they are not naturally
thrifty. They are subject to more tempta-
tions, too. They spend their money as
fast as they get IT, and instead of going
homo after they are through with their
work, they go to the theater in the even
ing, or drop into a saloon or a billiard
hall, treat their friends, have a good time
and often stay up later than they should.

are being put on the huge Allis-Chalmers
engine, which raises its head almost TO
the roof beams of the building. Coupled
to this is the Bullock generator that will
soon be putting forth electrical energy
In 6,600-volt lots.
The Westinghouse plant will be in full
operation tomorrow, and the current
from these three generators will light the
Pike and grounds after Tuesday. Several
small Westinghouse engines and gener-
ators have been in operation for some
weeks furnishing the current for the
cranes and other installation machinery.
Many exhibitors have their work in the
Electricity building well under way, and
switchboards are going up in all parts OF
the floor. Parts of a turbo-generator
have been received and the erection of
this most modern instrument for chan
ging mechanical into electrical energy will
soon be begun.
One of the interesting historical dis
plays will illustrate the growth of the
incandescent-nght industry and the ear
lest machine. Edison's original Jumbo
will soon be set UP alongside the most
modern apparatus for electric lighting.
Fully fifty exhibitors have their booths
well under way in the Liberal Arts pal
ace and many are at work in the Manu-
factures building. These two exhibit
palaces will show to the reminiscent Wis
itor the vast advance that has been made
in the dressing Of show windows, winicn
has become almost profession. Many
original designs are being worked out in
these two departments. and the fnstalla-
tions themselves when completed even
before the exhibits are put in place will
furnish material for admiration for an
hour or two.
In the Transportation building three ex-
hibits are well under way. the Baltimore
and Ohio the Pennsylvania and the Ken
nicott water softener. which will be used
in connection with the Pennsylvania en-
gine tests.

on an allotment the plans for the installa-
tion must be passed upon and approved by
Director of Works F. ]. V. Skir or his
assistant. Edmund S. Hoch. This inspec-
ton insures that the general interior eff
feet of the buildings will not be marred
by a mean or overelaborate booth
- The diversity of exhibits and the ma
tionality Of exhibitors will insure that the
installations of no two buildings will look
alike. The soidity of the Briton will
be accentuated by the rocco of the Gaul
and other southern nations
The work of installation IS much far
ther advanced than it was at the Column
bian Exposition at a corresponding peri
cd, and the rapidly increasing arrivals of
exhibits for the palaces acts as a spur
The St. Louis Republic., 1904-03-13

to the force at work in the buildings.
Some work has been done in every de-
partment, anc, although the booths in
process of construction in the larger
buildings are but as a drop in the bucket
to what must be built before opening day,
the buildings are no longer the barnlike
structures they were three weeks ago.
In the agricultural building Of the Fill
pino village large corps is arranging
and classifying the products of the archi-
pelago. Thousands of Mason Jars filed
with every kind of grain, mixed with
mothballs to prevent weevils from coming
to life in the jars, are rapidly shuffed
over the long tables with which the build
ing is equipped. Under the building are
many packing cases filled with native pre-
served fruits. which are brought up one
at time and enptied as there is space
made for them.
over the rise of ground on which the
Philippine buildings stand is the Agricul-
tural building. where all the world will
compete in displays of products of the
soil Dotted about It here and there,
serving only to accentuate the vastness
of the untouched space. are exhibit booths

With barely seven weeks intervening
before the Worlds Fair gates will be
thrown open, the interiors OF all the great
exhibit palaces fairly hum with the work
Of getting ready for the exhibits.
Before the 12oo0 carloads of models, ma
terials and manufactures can be finally
arranged. the booths and ornamental par-,
titions that will divide the display of one
exhibitor from that of another must be
erected. This work Of installation, as It
IS called. will occupy many hundreds Of
men-slilled jolners carpenters, plaster
ers and painter-who will put up more
or less elaborate pavilions, booths and
lioslzs according to the plans Of the ex-
hibitor.

The action OF the Corn Exchange Bank
Of Chicago forbidding its clerks who
ara getting a salary Of $1,000 a year or
less to marry. without the consent Of the
officers, is causing widespread discussion
throughout the United States.
What prompted the officers of the Chi
cago bank to issue the order is conjecture,
but the supposition is that the officers be-
Ieve a man on a salary of $1,000 or less
cannot support himself and wife on SO
small an income and keep up appearances
that would be creditable to the bank The
inference is that the young married man
may be tempted to pilfer when he finds
he cannot live within his income.
Many declare that the question is
broad one, in which no set rule can be
laid down. While some men with an in
come of only S1Coo year can afford to
get married and with reasonable econo-
my can live well on that sum. other
men could not do it. 1t is asserted.
In discussing the question, those persons
in St Louis who were interviewed, say
that it depends on the individual: that If
the man is reasonably economical and
marries a woman who is economical,
practical and sensible. there is no reason
why they cannot live well, although not
luxuriously. on an income Of $1,000 or
less year.
MRS. LAFLIN'S VIEW.
Mrs. Florence NJ. Latin, manager Of the
wo1nan's department of the Missouri Trust
Company. takes a strictly practical view
Of the question whether 1t is wise for
young man to marry on a salary Of 5000
or less. She speaks from the viewpoint
of a woman who has had her share of
domestic life. as well as from the view
point of one who has had a thoroughly
practical business training. She summed
up by saying: 1T depends on the woman
Years ago, you know, S1.G0o was much
more Than 1t is to-day, and young mar
ried couple could live very comfortably for
s.. 600 or less then. OF course, now that
sum does not go so far as 1t once did, but
I believe that a young man may safely
marry on a salary of $1,000 year. If
there is no sickness or other unforeseen
unfortunate circumstance a couple can
live well on that sum. but, with large
doctors bills TO pay, it would not go very
far
IF young man who is getting salary
OF only 8, 900 year or less thinks of mar
rying, he should be careful and deliberate
in the choice OF his life partner. Much, II
not ALL depends on the sort of woman
he chooses to be his wife If she is prac-
tical. economical and sensible, I believe
they can get along very well. She should

OF the. foreign countries. Germany and
Siam have nearly completed their install

In some of the buildings the exhibits
have been placed in the sections where
they will be exhibited before the work of
Installation is begun, as is the case with
Japan in the Mines and Metallurgy build
ing. The cases containing the exhibits
came before the materials for the booths.
The Standard Oil Company has a large
exhibit space in this building and is
erecting a handsome green and gold pa
yilion in which will be displayed models
of every branch of the oil industry. from
the derrick and drilling outfit to the tank
cars and delivery wagons. A working
model of an oil refinery will be shown and
samples of the various products into
which the crude oil is split up will be ar
ranged around the refinery. Among them
are vaseline, paraffine and gasoline.
The educational display being prepared
by the agricultural colleges may soon be
installed, as the contractor has the ia
cades practically complete. This will
show the variety of laboratories that
well-founded college finds necessary for
the training of farmers in the rotation of
