OF FOREIGN TRAnnE
 PROVIDED FOR
In Annual Legislative, Exc cutive and Judicial Ap-
 propriation Bill.
ITS TOTALS AMOUNT
 TO $96, ,318,O0O
Sub Treasuries at Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia,
 New York Discontinued.

Washington, Jan. 10.---Aid in the extension of American foreign trade is provided il the annual legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill for 1920 reported today to the House. The measure carries appro- priattons totalling $96, BIS, 600, approxi- mately s7,OOO0OO more than the 1919 bill, and provides for 19, 1855 salaries, a decrease of ITS.
 For the extension of Americas for etgn trade an appropriation of S9C5, 800 would be given the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce of the depart ment of commerce. The appropria- ton, which is double that made in l 1919, contemplates according to testi- mony given at hearings on the bill, 1 the sending of agents to the bureau throughout the world to investigate i opportunities for American business. | The home personnel of the bureau | also is increased under the bill 20 that information as to world markets may. be readily available to American | business men.
 Assistance also would be given American firms engaging in foreign trade through the state department, i additions being provided for the de- 1 partment's staff of trade advisers and l legal experts. Representatives of | tHe state department at hearings on 1 the bill urged that measures be taken to insure that American business men are treated fairly by foreign govern l ments in the competition for after i the-war trade.
 In providing for state department needs, the bill abolished the title of under secretary of state.
 The increase in appropriations car l rted by the bill Is due largely to provisions for the 1920 census, the amount proposed for that purposl
 being S13,65O,7 TOO. The other prin- cipaI increase is an addition of s.
 238,000 over the 1919 appropriat ton for the internal revenue bureau.
 Reductions from the 1919 bill con-
 sist mainly in elimination of many
 positions created during the war
 more than six millions of dollars be- ing cut from the war, navy and state
 departments payroll. Contingent
 expense funds of various departments
 were cut several hundred thousand
 dollars, while military research work
 by the bureau of standards is elim-
 mated at a saving of $460.00O.
 Discontinuance of the sub treasur. les at Baltimore, Boston, New York
 Philadelphia and five other cities alsc
 reduced the appropriations by s463,
 900. Development of the Fedora
 reserve system. in the opinion of the
 House appropriations subcommittee has eliminated the necessity of main taining the sub-treasurjes.

MRS. FRANK LESLIE.

Mrs. Frank Leslie, who was for many years the successful head of great publishing business in New York, was in many ways a remarka- ble woman. Her husband. a native Of England, acquired a fortune from the publication of 'Leslies Weekly" and other periodicals. He died 39 years ago and his widow immedi- ately took charge of the publications and carried on the business with in creasing success for several years. Her death was followed by a sensa. tionai will contest before the New York courts, which decided that the cause of woman suffrage was en- titled to the $1,500,O0O residuary es- tate disposed of in Mrs. Leslies last will and testament. The contestants of the will were Frank Leslie $ grandchildren.

and most all Of the students, not a
few Of them graduates, pulled out
for their homes through the noun
tam states.
The graduating classes were quite
large this year, and the junior
classes equally as good.
A good many new students are
expected next year, since so many
soldiers are returning and will wish
to resume their work, and since a
great many men and women are re-
leased from war work.
Now the summer school is in
progress with over a hundred stu
dents in attendance, and a very
promising prospect indeed is in
view for a great record this sum-
