MOTHERHOOD IN RUSSIA

The Russian Soviet Is making 9
determined effort to see that its fu
ture citizens are well born. A phys.
ician. who has recently returned
from there. states that the program
for care Of mothers and children Is
far superior to that Of any country
in the world. This program is ad-
ministered by two bureaus of Ed
ucation and Training located al
Moscow and Leningrad. Though II
is a state policy that no woman
shall have a child unless she wants
1t, knowledge of birth control being
widely distributed and abortion le-
gal. the government does encourage
child bearing by making conditions
as favorable as possible for the
mother.
Conditions Which Encourage
Motherhood
Free classes are provided which
women attend during pregnancy.
Here they are taught how to care
for themselves during that period.
There are courses in diet. hygiene,
child psychology, etc. All expectant
mothers are given free medical care
which includes frequent examina-
lions, instructions about food. ex-
ercise, rest, and help in any per-
sOnal problems relative to their con-
dition.
Most of the women in Russia are
employed in industry. The state
program has taken this into consid-
Grafton, granting a pregnant wo-
man a four months leave Of alb
sence ION pay) from her job. Two
months before confinement she
leaves her work and does not re-
turn for two months after.
Society also joins In protecting
the prospective mothers. Special
are granted them. In
boarding street cars they are spared
the usual crpwding and confusion
by being allowed to use the front
entrance. When It is necessary for
people to stand In line for provi-
slons. at theatres, etc. pregnant
women are given first place. The
best OF foods is also reserved for
them.
Maternity Hospitals
When the time for confinement
comes, the woman Is taken to
state hospital where she Is given
the best care possible. Russian state
hospitals are rapidly becoming the
best equipped in the world. They
are far superior to the average pri-
vate hospital In America. The sani-
tary regulations are much stricter
than those observed hers, 4 isttsv

the sheets twice a day-everything
Immediately clean. I don't know
how many times they wiped up the
floors but they were always spot

Few Bottle Babies"
A thorough. program for the care
Of the child after birth is in opera
ton. Everything possible is done
to keep II healthy and strong. Many
kinds Of nurseries and homes are
maintained. nj every factory there
Is nursery where mothers when
they return to work can leave their
babies. These rooms are close
enough to the work shops for the
women to nurse their children at
regular intervals.
Careful health records are kent.
and II 1t is found that the work
which the mother is doing is af-
fecting her in such a way as to in
jure the child. she Is transferred 10
another form Of employment. Wet
nurses are frequently used If the
mother Is deficient in this respect
since bottle feeding Is not encour-
aged.
Babies on the Farm
Recently there has been a new
and very important addition, the
summer nurseries. Formerly, babies
OF women working in the fields, suf-
Tered from neglect, being left at
home alone for many hours at a
time. The death rate among infants
In the rural districts was very high.
Now every farming community has
nursery so located that mothers
can come in and nurse the babies
regularly.
Older Children and Widowed
Mothers
I'M
There are also in Russia both dav
nurseries where older children can
be left throughout the working
hours. and all-time nurseries where
they may be left for longer periods.
In addition to the nurseries. there
are special homes for women who
are widowed and deserted.

John B. Slater, for thirty years a resident of Alaska, died at Se- ward, a short time ago at the age Of 72 years. Many oldtimers recall the early day hardships encounter ed by Mi Slater when he was en- gagged in developing his quartz pro- perty on Frenehy Creek in the Moose Pass. In those days of no roads. when even trails were few and far between, he would load up in Seward and, when pack horses were not available, walk up Res urreetion Valley and across country to Moose Pass, thence to the top of a mountain where his claims were located. In 1908, MT. Slater and Al Totten located the Indepen- dence group. He later prospected in the Kuskokwim country.

The salmon catch on the Ugash- ik River this season, according to cannery men. was the largest in recent years, a total pack of around 60,000 cases having been put up by the two canneries operating there. This new record is considered the more remarkable because of un- favorable weather conditions, which prevailed throughout the fishing season. For several days during the heaviest part of the salmon run. many boats were unable to put their nets in the water, owing to severe westerly storms which dras- tically curtailed fishing operations It is estimated that virtually hordes of incoming fish found an unoh- structed path to their spawinine grounds.

The present rush of tenants for homes in Douglas brought about by the work on the new road, which has added new residents during the past week or two, has made it pos sible in several cases for cottages to pay with their occupancy for needed repairs to make them de- sirable habitations and thus more valuable to their owners. At the same time the renters with only thirty hours per week of their time put in on the road work are able to profit to some extent on their idle hours.
