Stops were made at Washington uni versity. the famous Shaw Botanic Gardens. the Zoo. and many other points of special interest.
 Being on an agricultural survey the party was keenly interested ir. a statement by Mayor Kiel that recent survey of 1000 children re- vealed that only Is per cent of the school children of St. Louis had ever seen a COW or pig, and for this req son the mayor has ordered that these and other domestic animals be placed in the city zoo, which will be done within few days.
 In the mayors welcoming party of six prominent citizens of St. Louis was Frank P. Glass, widely known Alabama journalist. who is now edi-. torial director of the St. Louis Star. Mir. Glass took personal interest in each member of the party and ap- peared keenly interested in news from Alabama.
