Brain Trust Leader Quit Railroad Job Professor Moley, Roosevelt's Aide, Found Work Too
 Hard

of note, decided he must "get some first hand experience with the problems of the workingman," was told here by his mother, Mrs Agnes Fairchild Moley. 70.
 Moley got job on the section, the foreman of the crew being q friend of the family, Mrs Moley re- lates. It was hot day, and the suns rays struck fire from the gllstening steel rails.
 The foreman mopped his face with q red bandanna. "Heave Heave, ho!" he chanted as the crew strained to lift a steel rail.
 Every few minutes the men stopped for breath, then back to the job again.
 Young Moley stuck 1t out through about three breathing spells, then he quietly walked tc the side of the right-of-way and stretched out in the shade of a tree. There he remained until nightfall, when he rode back to town on the handcar and fore. swore further excursions into the realm of the workingman.
 "I thought then, and still think, he was smart whom he dropped that rail and started using his head rather than his brawn," said Moth- CT Moley.
 "You know, though, he was scared to death recently when he came home to address the gradu- ating class of the Olmstead Falls high school. He told me later he looked at the gathering of two or three hundred persons and saw at least six men through whose win- dows he had thrown baseballs years ago."

A Carnival College

One may pause in "the House of Magic" in the Electrical Building and get an education in electrical engineering, so graphic arc the mechanisms and so assiduous arc the lecturers.
 That is true of all the 500 ex- hibits in the 200 buildings, stud ding the grounds, on which hun dreds of corporations nearly every state, and the principal for eign nations have spent approxi- mately 0,000,000.
 Appropriately enough, the more than q million who have already paid their quarters and half dollars to enter this carnival-like college have come primarily to be in- structed.
 Statistics disclose that the great Hall of Science so far is the Init of tho fair. Its nearest rivals are The Streets of Paris, up and down whose alley-like avenues q completely unclad Lady Godiva Hides, and tSe Enchanted Island for children.

Waterville to
 Have Wading Pool
(Continued from Page 1.)

(ContInued from Page 1.) He suggested that Superin- tendent Harrison get in touch with Arthur F. Greene, engineer for the Chase Companies, and together go over the site for the consideration of pool. MT Harrison thought the Hancock brook could be clean ed of cobble stones and other de- posits in the brook, damned up to the necessary depth and rounded out to make a suitable wading pool.
 The water that flows to the north of the ball field is considered clean and suitable for wading. It flows into Waterville, down along the Greystone trail. without gath ering any waste or sewage from factories or other sources.
 MT Harrison thought the neces- sary damming and cleaning out of the brook could be done at q negli- gible cost.
 It was explained at the discus sion that Waterville youngsters have no place for swimming or bathing, being perhaps the only section of the city without such facilities. The children formerly were permitted to swim in Lon- don's Pond but those waters were recently condemned. The young sters are required, at present, to go to Black Rock. Shades Pond in Oakville or Lakewood Beach fer bathing during the hot weather.
 In going to any of the three named places, the children are placed in an unconvenient position. They are forced to walt until their parents bring them and if the father is employed, 1t is usually late in the afternoon before he Is through at his work before the trip can be made. Also, to swim at Lakewood. q small fee must be paid for admission to the beach. :.

KITTY WAS NOT
 THE HOME KIND

Cobalt, Conn, July s. (UP)- Members of the civilian conserva. ton corps stationed near here, many of them from cities, are learning about nature. Two learned a great deal the other evening when they found a cat near the camp and decided it would make an excellent mascot. It wasn't that kind of a kitty.
 The youths buried their clothes and decided that. nature in the raw might possibly be mild, but only in appearances.

Financed by Chicago

Vetoing all suggestions that fed- eral, state or municipal subsidy be sought, he and they voted that those who would profit by sec- ond worlds fair should pay for 1t.
 The result of their act was psychological as well as economic. The 120,O00 citizens whom they induced to donate sums, ranging from $5 to $1,000 to defray its initial expenses, are still the fairs most ardent boosters. z And the group of individuals and corporations who pledged $12,- 176,000 to cover the $10,000, 0,000's worth of gold notes issued to fi- nance the exposition have left nothing undone to guarantee It's success.
 They have been aided, of course, by the industrial leaders whose ex- hibits provide the theme underly- ing the exposltion-the progress of industry through application of science during the past century.
 Other of the worlds great fairs may have been more enchanting to the eye than this city of rainbow hued pavilons and silvery spires arising from q fantastic chaos of sand and lowered terraces on Chi- cago's handmade lake front.

 Hotels Are Crowded Several Michigan avenue hotels which for the past four years have been only 15 to 40 per cent full, are now turning travellers away. Loop hotels in general agree that the fair has boosted business 40 to 50 per cent. Transcontinental limiteds which used to pull into Chicago with per- haps two day coaches and four or five half-empty sleepers. now are hauling 12 to IS crowded sleep- CTS.
 Railroad officials say that Pull mans and coaches have increased their Chicago loadings 32 to 50 per cent. One of the leading air lines reports traffic for the first two weeks of June ran 70 per cent ahead of last year. Where the people are coming from is frequently asked, but no one is prepared to answer &C., curately. From license plates on the automobiles one would say they come from everywhere. On one day licenses of 46 states were noted.
 Visitors from every state and from eight provinces in Canada have signed the official fair regis ter. And 73 foreign countries are listed in 1t.
 How much money Chicago's fair visitors are leaving behind them Is still speculation. How
 ever, 1t is almost impossible for an out-of-towner to see the cxpo- sItion for less than $50 Q week, exclusive of railroad fare. Strangely, the most expensive hotels and the costliest fair at- fractions are doing the biggest business.
 To make the fair a financial success, q total paid attendance
 of 30 million is needed. Official arc optimistic about reaching this figure. If they do, they will be able to retire all outstanding gold notes without calling on the guar antors, and eclipse the attendance record of 2S,000,000 admissions of the London Exposition in 1908.

 What put A Century of Progress over? The majority of Chicago ans are still too stunned by the ap- plause, greeting this world exposi- ton in honor of their home citys tooth anniversary, to voice an opinion. But the few articulate ones divide the credit between It's sound financing, and the fact that 1t Is no one-man show.
 True, the personality of lean, affable William +. Dawes. its president is everywhere evident. But 1t was he and his associates who saw that its financial struc- ture was firmly built, and insist ed that any celebration of Chi cago's centennial should be by and of the people of Chicago.
