SEATTLE, Wdsh., July 10.—A start-
ling contrast in certain congressional
appropriations were pointed out by
Lewis Meriarn, assistant chief of the
Federal Children’s Bureau, in an ad-
dress before the National Conference
of Charities and Correction here this
morning. Mr. Meriarn cited the ap-
propriations to the Bureau of Ani-
mal Industry in the Department of
Agriculture, which received $352,450
for salaries, $1,217,866 for general ex-
penses, $3,000,000 for meat inspection,
and $100,000 for co-operative expenses
in animal feeding and breeding. He
characterized the work of that bu-
reau as Important and the money as
wisely spent, but contrasted it with
the $24,640 appropriated by'Congress
for salaries in the Children’s Bureau,
$4,500 allotted for contingent expenses
and $3,500 for printing, or a total of
$33,640 for the entire work of a bu-
reau charged .with the duty of investi-
gating and reporting upon all matters
pertaining to' the welfare of children
and child life among all classes of
our population,'Tmd directed especial-
ly to investigate infant mortality, the
birth rate, orphanage, juvenile courts,
desertion, dangerous occupations, ac-
cidents, diseases of children, employ-
ment, and legislation affecting chil-
dren in the several states and terri-
tories. The Children’s Bureau, ac-
cording to Mr. Meriarn, has not been
able to buy books and subscribe for
magazines for its library, which thus
far is made up chiefly of state and
federal reports and the reports and
proceedings of certain private associa-
tions which have generously respond-
ed to the bureau's requests for gifts.
“We look forward to the time,".said
Mr. Meriarn, “when we can do more
buying and less begging. We are
waiting for the day when we can give
our librarian the assistants she needs,
instead of wasting her valuable time
in routine work that does not require
an expert, and then we hope to have
in Washington the most complete and
comprehensive library on child wel-
fare to be fbund in the world, rich
in*, manuscripts, current literature,
and the other things which are so
hard to find and so illuminating, and
then we hope to be able to devise
some means whereby these treasures
shall be made available not only to
the staff of the Children’s Bureau,
but to all who are working for the
betterment of our child population.”

STANDARD PATTERNS.
Designers for August are here.
Denton’s representatives at the Uni-
versity of Texas during the session
of 1912-13 carried off some of the
very highest and a pile of the lesser
honors offered the students of that
Institution,, and by their excellent re-
cords in class work, on the athletic
fields, and in the literary societies,
have placed the Denton High School
in the foremost rank of Texas public
schools, and in the spotlight from
every angle.
Glancing over the achievements of
Denton boys at the University, it m
seen at once that they are represent
tative in every sense of the word;
some of them taking leading parts in
the Y. M. C. A. and church work, some
honored for their excellent scholar-
ship, many distinguished themselves
on the various athletic fields, and still
others winners of honors on debating
teams, with last, but not least, a few
elected to important offices on the
different .college publications. Besides
refleetin gtheir honors on the Denton
High School, which was an Inevit-
able result of the splendid records,
the Denton students at T.. U. have
made the local High one of the most
popularly known.
jour of Denton's representatives
who have made the most enviable re-
cords for many years graduated this
year with high honors: Homer Bruce,
William .and Eugene Tanner, and
Luther Hoffman. The graduating of
such men as these will probably
prove a distinct loss but their places
bid fair to be crowded by other Den-
gin hoys, with promising capabilities.
A brief synopsis of the Denton re-
cord at T. U. will probably be very
interesting reading:

In discussing the improvements,
which are to the extent of .a little
fess than $3,000, City Health Officer
Piner complimented the promptness
of the company very modi in the
recent campign for clenliness. “The
r^jlroad company is making the first
start of any public company in. Den-
ton to aid the ladies and the town in
the clean-up crusade," said Dr. Ptner.
Mr. Johnson promised for the railroad
all help that he could possibly give

come of that promise. We feel that
if the people of their own home town
will do as well in the coming cam-
Ipaign. Denton won’t have to worry
about their winning first prize and ail
