IN CONFERENCE
THURSDAY
Needs Of Wyoming to Be
Talked in Connection
With Big Campaign.

This week the representatives OF
81 denominations and 40 missionary
boards and agencies are visiting
various communities in Wyoming.
Tho advance guard reached Casper
today in the persons of the Rev. C. e.
Vermilya of tho Methodist Episcopal
church mt tho Rev. David McMar-
tin of h Presbyterian church. DIR.
Vermilya comes from California and
the Rev. Mr.. McMartin ia from the
state capital.
Thursday evening of this week at
s o'clock tho various survey teams
will meet in the Methodist Episcopal
church of Casper to consider the
needs of Wyoming. The conference
will be continued all day Friday.
Various teams at present are survey
ing different sections of the state.
The entire thought of the survey is
intelligent understanding of wyo-
ming conditions to secure operative
service for the advancement OF the
cause of Christianity. Denomina'
tionsl differences are being placed in
tho background and the common
heritage of q common religion
stressed.
Among the topics likely to be dis
cussed Thursday evening and Friday

tertainer also came in for his share
of the attention given.
The dance last night marked the
first appearance of Miss Roderick at
the Casino. It is safe to say that
never in Casper has she found n
more attentive audience that she
found at the establishment at First
and Wolcott streets. Conversation
was stopped and persons standing
around The railing that separates the
dance floor from the rest of the hall
gave practically all their attention
TO this premier vocalist. Throughout
the beautiful waltzes her work was
especially notable and attracted the
utmost admiration.
Miss Roderick will sing regularly
at the Casino. Her presence is ex.
pected TO be a big drawing card.
Doug 1sitt's return to Casper has
been welcomed by a large train of
admirers and when IL was found that
he was going to entertain at the
Casino It was but natural that those
admirers should flock there.
The hall itself has been greatly i'm.
proved with the remodeling. Having
the orchestra stand in the center with
the musicians costumed to suggest
the Spaniard adds much TO the effect
which the management Of the Casino
hos desired to produce.

MIRRORS

To reflect the charm of dainty summer home, there must be graceful mirrors in distinctive designs in living room, din- ing room or boudoir. Our Mirror Depart ment is gallery presenting small and large mantel mirrors, oval and panel ef- fects, plain and miter cut. They may be artistically framed in polychrome, in antique gilt or in silver motifs. Or, srnartest of all, perhaps, is the all-glass mirror handsomely engraved.

DRAPERIES

From England, France and the best of our own American looms come new Drapes and Curtainings to comprise the choicest assemblage of fabrics that we have ever presented for Summer Homes. Never before have patterns been so varied and 50 interesting; never before have colors been so rich or combined with SO much originality. There is host of novelties in Cretonnes, Glazed Chintzes and Ari- fcial Silks, and wide array of new de- signs in Voiles. Scrirns and Nets.
 For treating windows in summery ways, there are curtains of hand drawn Scrins and Marquisettes, dainty Grenadines, Madras, fine Voiles with tie backs-and charming lace trimmed Bobbinets for tho nursery.
 The woman who chooses to make her own curtains and bed spreads will delight in picking her yardage from Novelty Scrims and Marquisettes, Swisses, colored Jewell Cloth, large mesh Filet Nets, and dainty effects in blocked Voilss with colored satin stripea
 To valance the window. to drape the arch, to hang in nook or corner, or to mellow the light of the sun parlor, there are light weight artificial Silk fabrics in Shiku and pebble weaves and in two-tone and stripe combtnations-and Cretonnes that sug- gest the wealth of an Oriental bazaar.

fected in this way. Those reserves
represent what the administrative Of
f1cer thinks he may be able to get along
without. They can be drawn upon only
by the head Of each department or ac-
tivity. If a bureau chief sets up a
reserve he cannot cut into 1T without
the written consent Of the department
head.
This is done to get every one through
out the federal service practicing econ
omy and 1t has already resulted in a
very considerable saving. 1t is con-
tinuing proposition with the budget bu-
reau, because there are frequent meet

tire year. When bureau chief gets
permission to enter the reserve the
budget officers are notified.

OF these Is the office Of chief co-ordi-

assistant waa nt.ct ,ord,nator for the A. E. F.;

budget, for the post As chief co-ordi-
nator. The work Of this officer Is to
get the most economic and efficient use
OF government property. to get all gov
ernment activities working in cooper
alton. SO that goods that are surplus in
one activity can be transferred to the
use Of another activity instead Of being
neld in storage. and thus save the use
OF new money when there is already too
much OF certain property on hand.
The federal traffic board is another
oranch OF the budget work. This
agency has charge of the routing and
classIf1cation of all traffic for all
branches Of the government service
Then there is the federal specifica-
tions board for standardizing govern
ment specifications, and those stand
ardized specifications are now being
adopted by considerable number Of
the states. This is done that instead
or many descriptions Of articles to
meet government requirements there
may be one standard description
drawn along the lines of commercial
practice. This does away with a very
great amount Of special made" stuff
and promotes simplicity in filling
government requirements. Hereto.

objective seemed to be to get the
most perfect article for a particular
use, regardless Of the cost. whereas
now it is to get a standard article

the Army and Navy money needs.
Then. there :are a number Of In
vestigators. In each of the larger
activities; one :of: these investigators
keeps in touch with that one all the
year round. ana in the case of
smaller activities one Investigator is
assigned to cover several.
The Investigators job is to see for
himself what thase activities want
and then what use they are making
Of IT. The investigator for the Dis
trict of Golumbia last year was w.
W. Matthews, and this year George
E. Kennedy is :on= the job.

in the budget. SO it Will be seen

Congress. but this time the investiga-
tors under Brig. Gen. Herbert NJ
Lord. the director of the budget, have
oeen able to bring to their task a
greater familiarity and keener insight
which must result in a more finished
job.
System Simplihed.
One of the important advantages
of the budget system has been found
IN the way in which each department
or independent establishment sends
ITS estimates directly to an outside
agency, with which 1t deals directly,
instead Of having to submit them
through another department, as in
The past, when ali estimates went to
-he Treasury and We're sent to Con-
SresS by the Treasury. The Treasury
Department now submits it's esti-
mates to the budget bureau just the
Eame as other departments, and the
whole budget, when drafted, is sent
20 Congress by the President, who is
responsible for ii. Under this new
system it will readily be seen that
she District of Columbia or any other
branch of the government service has
> decided advantage in the oppor-
tunity to justify its estimates
through a disinterested or sympa-
2hetic third party rather than
through another branch Of the de-
partmental service.
Just how the budget is drafted is
not generally known. The set-up is
about like this:
There is the director Gen. Herbert
az. Lord and the assistant director.

this 10 proving q great relief to Con-

made a personanl inspection, covering
weeks. of all the public works in
progress and urged for inclusion in
the budget.
With DR.. Frank w. Ballou. superin-
tendent Of schools. and with Ernest
Greenwood, vice president of the
board OF education, Capt. Stephens
made a personal investigation of
every one of the school properties
| those the board has in mind. He
paid particular attention to the phys
ical conditions and the overcrowded
conditions in a large part Of the
schools. He was guided by a chart
showing the shifts in population in
the capital with reference to the pro-
posed location OF new schools.
Capt. Stephens also went out with
the municipal engineers and inspected
every one of the streets which need
repairs and the places where 1t is
proposed to open new streets. He
| realized that in justice to the capital.
where practically nothing was done
on street improvements during the
war period, while the heavy Army
trucks ruined many OF the best
streets, in justice much more might
be asked for this work than Con-
gress could possibly appropriate next
year. So his work was largely to
determine which streets need atten-
tion most imperatively. and to COM
pile priority list of street improve
mentS.
In the current appropriation bill.
as a result of Capt. Stephens per-
sonal investigation, the appropriation
for street repairs is much larger than
during the war years.
tion with the Department of Agri-
that Washington has been getting a
very low average for repairs and re-
placements, considering the total
square yardage of streets. Here in
the District the streets appropriation
is only about one-half that of the
average cities of the country for road
maintenance. Due to the sympathetic
and business-like study of this con-
dition by Capt. stephens the appro-
priation for this purpose in 1924 was
increased, about ESQ per cent.
