dren, VIII also be one of the speakers.
He is one of the most enthusiastic
workers in the cause Of dependent chill
dren and will be able to give valuable
counsel as to the needs of Vermont.
Among the speakers from Vermont will
be President Guy Potter Benton of the
University of Vermont, DR.. c. S. Caver-
w, chairman of the state board of
health, Prof X. r. b. Flint of Norwich
university, Professor j. A. Morgan of
Middleburv college, and Prof. G.. G..
Groat of the University of Vermont.
The main topic of the conference will
be The Dependent and Neglected Child.
1t is fact that Vermont has done ex-
cellent work in the care of her delin-
quent children at the industrial school
at Vergennes, and that she now has
undertaken to care for the deficient chill
dren, at the new institution for feeble
minded children at Brandon, but as a
state she has never taken anv steps to
meet her responsibility for the depend
ent children Of the state This has been
left to the local authorities and there
is no adequate or systematic method of
meeting the necessities of this class. 1t
is hoped that some definite plans can be
made at the conference held at Mont
peIier, and that the whole subject may
be wisely considered.
/ All persons interested in the welfare
! Of the dependent children, or any phase
/ of work for the dependent classes
should endeavor to be present at the
conference. Any information desired re
/ garding the conference can be procured
from w. j. Van Patten, Burlington.

APPROPRIATION
ON SCOUT CRUISERS

Washington, Jan. 3.-Congress prob
ably will be asked by the navy de-
partment TO increase the limit of cost
OF the new 80 knot scout cruisers
nearly million dollars. OF the four
ships authorized by the last appropria-
ton bill only one contract has been
awarded under the 100000 limita-
ton. Ee-advertised bids, opened to-
day. showed only one offer for two
ships at a price 100000 above the
limit.
Secretary Daniels and his counsel
considered the situation without reach
ing a conclusion. AS the appropriation
act requires that the ships be under
construction before March 90, it is i'm
possible to fit government yards for
the work in time. 1t is hoped. how
ever. that with the price limit raised
all three can be placed in private
yards.

HIGHER DEMURRAGE
RATES NOT ALLOWED

st. Paul. Jan. 3.-The Minnesota
railroad and warehouse commission
today denied ting application of the
Minnesota railroads for permission to
increase demurrage charges on all in
trastate traffic. The petition was OPP
posed by numerous organizations OF
shippers, notably the grain trade of
the twin cities.
Judge Ira Il. Mills, chairman of the
commission, said the railroads failed
to show by evidence that increases in
demurrage, rates would solve the car
shortage problem
Higher rates have been authorized
on intra state traffic by railroad COM
missions in a number of northwestern
states.
