New York Dec. 27.-Mrs. Arthur
Murray Dodge. widow of the multi

noted for her charities, takes especial
interest in day nurseries. In fact 1t is
doubtful if any woman in the United
States has done as much to develop
the day nursery idea as Mrs. Dodge,
except Miss Biddle. of Philadelphia,
who organized the movement in the
United States. Mrs. Dodge is inter
ested in so many different nurseries,
besides being president of the state
association of day nurseries, that it
is necessary for her to have a regular
staff Of assistants.
One of the duties of this staff of
assistants is to visit the different in
situations and find out, through actual
interviews with each little inmate,
what his or her particular want is
in the way of a Christmas gift. On
the upper west side of the city is a
nursery established in a densely popu-
lated colored neighborhood. Little
Tommy has never in his brief life eX-

Bees Paw Better Than Hens.

Albany, n. Y, Dec, 27.-Officials of
the state department today stated that
while they had no desire to throw cold
water upon the big poultry exhibition
which opens in New York this week,
1t is shown from statistics just pre-
pared that bees are more valuable as
wealth producers than hens, even
when eggs sell at so cents dozen.
An idea of the magnitude of the honey
industry may be gained from the state
ment that the crop in the United
States each year amounts to 100000

keepers in the state of New York,
which stands second among the states
in the production of honey.
