Needs. says the children’s bureau, will mean not only eco- nomic needs, but also the extent to which conditions lead to crip- pling. For instance, an epidemic of infantile paralysis in a sparsely settled state might possibly prompt allocation of fedaral funds out of proportion to the popula- tion of tha state. Furthermore, says the bureau, the funds will not be considered as another pension system al- though there sems to be wide be- lief that such is the plan.

He was bound te Key West for a visit with his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Clem C. Price, and on business connected with the sponge industry, to which he had devoted the greater part of his life. The body will be prepared-by the Lopez Funeral Home to be sent tomorrow to Tarpon Springs for funeral services and interment. Mrs. Price and son, Walter, will accompany the body. Mr. Price will leave over the highway to- morrow morning. Mr. Meres occupied the state- room on the Cuba with Roger Watkins, 2iso bound to Key West, Mr. Watkins told The Citizen this morning and Mr. Meres had talked over his visit to Key West, saying jthat he was always interested in ‘this city and had some matters of | interest to the city te discuss with Wm. R. Porter and Norberg { Thompson. It was apparent, Mr. Watkins said, that he had some plan for business in Key West with refer- ence especially to the sponge busi- ness and cigar manufacturing. What these ideas or plans were will never be known. This morning, Mr. Watkins awakened and Mr. Meres appar- ently was sleeping comfortably, with one hand up to his mouth. He intended calling him when the summons fov breakfast was heard. then decided to wait 2a little longer. When the lond whistle of the ship was sounded and his cabin companion showed ne signs of jawakening he decided to call him. Twice he called his mame and re- t ed that Mr. Meres had passed on. The sad information was con- veyed to Purser Sam Stevens, who immediately got in touch with county authorities and the Lopez Funeral Home. The sheriff's office was also advised and Chief Dep- uty Bernard Waite and Frank 0. ‘also summoned.
