~ WOMEN OF ST. LOUIS
Where Ruin and Disgrace Await
Thousands During the

An appeal was made today, by let
ter, for the cooperation of the chris
tian women of Rock Island in the work
of the Women's Christian Association
of ST. Louis, designed for the prOtec-
tion of young women ambitious for
employment in st. Louis during the
worlds fair.
In their appeal to Rock Island peo-
pie for aid the officers of the associa-
ton declare that traps leading to
ruin have been set for thousands of
young women from all parts of the
land, promises of many kinds of hon
orable occupation being made by men
of vile purposes.
ITO in any degre meet this mons
ter" says the letter of appeal in part,
"all must unite in Il general protective
plan.
You ask, how can we cooperate?
one effective way is to organize a

Mexican Railw avs.

The rails of the Mexican Gull
railway are laid on mahogany sleep
ers and the bridges built Of Wl.iic
marble. In west Mexico is a line
with ebony sleepcrs and ballast OF
silver ore drawn from old mines be
side the track. The engineers con-
structing these railways had no 9th
er material on the route and found
it cheaper to use these seeming ex-
trayagances than TO import the or
dinury material.
