When first she came to America little
Neino aged s, seemed depressed at all times
and seldom did smile light up her pretty
face Now sheNis easily the happiest and
most joyful of the five girls and apparently
is almost as happy as the twelve-year-old
boy Nicolas, who has realized from the start
what the adoption by Admiral McCully has
meant to him.
Admiral McCully has assigned regular du-
ties to each of the children, saying in his
rules that HE who does not work has no
schedule by the month, ranging from $3.50
to twenty-five cents. With the money the
children may do as they like, but when one
places any amount on deposit in a savings
bank the Admiral adds similar amount
Imposes Fines When Necessary
To Maintain Proper Discipline
The tasks assigned TO each child indicate
their duties. Nicolas. age 12, is gardener
and furnace man; Luidmila, IL, is assistant
housekeeper; Anastasia, TO- is assistant
cook; Neina, g. is assistant nurse; Feader, 4,
is first door maid Ninetchka, s, is second
door maid and Tointchka, 3, is messenger.
Punishment in any form is strictly for
hidden by the naval officer, the children
being fined when punishment is deserved
The time for rising daily is o'clock and
for retiring is at night. The routine sched-
ules for Sundays and holidays give the. chill
dren considerable more time for rest and
play. Among other remarks made by the
Admiral in his sixteen page booklet regard
ing courtesy are these:
Good manners will be taught by the
use of good manners
Try to help others and they will help
you.
BE patient and you will get something
you want.
The children go to Sunday school each
Sunday morning. Frequently they entertain

the Admiral, consisting chiefly or Russian
brown bread and buttermilk. Dinner is
served each evening at seven, at which meal
the children may have vegetables of their
choosing meat and dessert. The drinking
of water with meals is forbidden, but milk
and cocoa may be served.
Daily Chart for Behavior,
With Rewards of Red Stars
A daily chart is kept by Miss Patrick and
the Russian governess. and the tots are
graded according to the manner in which
they perform their duties. Red stars on the
chart indicate that duty has been well per-
formed and the child receiving the greatest
number of red stars during the month is
awarded gold star, which he she wears.
For one hour daily the Russian governess
teaches lessons In Russian and for another
hour Miss Patrick gives lessons in English.
They are making surprising progress in
their books and each has learned many Eng
lish words. The older children are able to
play with American children and to hold
rather limited conversations with them.
The people of the progressive little South
ern city are astonlshed at the remarkable
growth of the children during the few
months since Admiral McCully first took
them there for a visit to his mothers home.
All except one has gained greatly in weight
and every one has grown taller.
The youngest. aged three. has grown ex-
actly three inches within as many months,
according to the health charts which are
carefully kept. Every one has been taught
to swim and they are learning American
customs rapidly. American games, however.
hold no appeal for them as yet, and they
are permitted to play Russian games and
dance the Russian folk dances. in which
they take great delight
Members of the Admiral's family saw that
Admiral McCully recently told them that ne
grows more thankful daily that the children
are here In America instead of starving in
Russia. Mrs. McCully. the naval officers
mother, takes more pride in the children
than many mothers take in those of their
own flesh and blood, and she believes that
they all will be very successful in business
or the professions when they grow up

The Admiral likes the plan, his relatives
like It, and the children like 1t immensely.
Sixteen typewriter pages of rules and regu-
lations governing the rearing of the children
have been written out by Admiral McCully
and are being followed carefully by Miss

Russian governess the Admiral has employed
for the children.

Equal TO Federal Contribution,

Briefly the bill aims to save lives of
mothers and babies during the period of
childbirth. In order to accomplish this
result il provides for an appropriation first
OF $iSe,O00 for each year. $4,000 of which
shall be paid TO each State annually. An
additional sum of $1,000. 900 is asked TO be
apportioned among the States in the pro-
portion which their population bears to the
total population of the United States not
including outlying possessions The State is
required to set aside sum equal to the
apportioned amount before Uncle Sam will

The money is to be used to disseminate

This instruction is to be given through
channels that may already exist, such as
