The personal element in retailing was the underlying theme in the discussion of last evening's session of the Merchants' Institute, held in the Chamber of Commerce Assembly Room.

An audience which completely filled the room, composed largely of employees, with a sprinkling of employees, wun a sprinKiing or OF FOREIGNERS less a concerted campaign of Americanization hold these men," said Mr Fonda, "employers will find the bottom knocked out of certain departments in their establishments." "The Bethlehem Steel Company is at present spending more than $300 a month for this work, and because we feel that what you are going to go in Allentown will also help us, we are willing to make a substantial contribution." Reviews Americanization Work. Mr. Fonda then reviewed the Amer-lcanization work which has heen done by the Bethlehem Steel Co. The movement started four years ago, when about 200 men were enrolled in classes which were held in the nnhHn schools of South Bethlehem. These n0t a matter of rfj --ployers, was present to hear and rph.

wa, nn nf ED TO jELL POTATOES Authorities Also Urge Care in rreveni Freezing. According to reports about thirds of the etltirp' nntatn t- two- crop of this country remained in the hands of the farmers and the dealers on January and the U. S. Department or Agriculture advises that farmers sell freely, and that the larger dealers move their Stocks lanMlv anrl that the retailer content himself with the smallest possible maririn nrnfit. real izing that he is now the most import? ant factor in speeding up potato consumption.

This information is no doubt reliable, and the advice given is worthy of careful consideration. The Bureau of Markets of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture calls attention to the importance of looking after the seed potatoes that are to be used this year. Many thousands of bushels of potatoes throughout the State have been frozen during the severe weather of this winter, and no doubt many more 'bushels will freeze before warm weather arrives. Unless the farmer is extremely careful he will be planting potatoes that have been slightly frozen, thereby reducing their vitality. If not completely destroying their germinating power.

The Bureau also urges that the farmers be extremely careful in making shipments during the next, few weeks. Several pnninlnlntu rnm formora 1-V1n FARMERS ADVIS classes ran from September until ln touch with market reports, etc. June, and were conducted in conjunc-j Farm Bureau and the Board of tion with the Lehigh University Y. m.

Th second year, more than 1 000 enrolled in these classes, and the! third year, the number increased to almost 1,500. This last year, the number fell to 200, due to the influ: ence of propagandists, mainly German, who went about saying that the whole Americanization movement was. simply a matter of getting foreigners into readiness for the military draft. Suggests Survey For City. The speaker suggested that a survey, similar to that made at South Bethlehem, be made in this city.

He also stressed the fact that it is vitally important that the work be pushed with the greatest vigor, and that it is especially to the interests of manu-' lthe er.j lu tuvji uiitruL iiu iiumeuiaie advantage. H. R. Brader. H.

An accident that will probablv result in the death of John Zechnian, aged 69 years, occurred on Tuesday when the victim with another man was engaged in felling a tree on the mountain back of Paxinosa, above Easton. Zechman had been warned by his fellow-worker to set out of the way of the tree, which was about to but at first seemed to pay no atten-i tion to the warning. Later he changed position, but in so doing walked directly In the path of the falling tree, which struck him full force on the head, crushing him to the ground. His fellow-workman hastened to his aid and released him from the position in which the tree had pinned him down.

A physician was then called, rendered "first aid" to the injureed man and took him in his automobile toward Easton, until he met the Easton Hospital ambulance, which was on its way to the scene to convey the unfortunate man to that institution. Zechman's Injuries consist of a broken jback, a lacerated scalp, concussion of the brain, a bone of the right arm broken at the elbow and possibly a fractured skull. Zechman's address is Easton, R.

"In building up a personal clientage of your own, you are also building it for the store, said Mr. er that rome in tn huv nd iinnwi what he wants to buy, he continued But the customer who isn't clear in his mind as to whether he or she wants to buy, and what to buy, these are the ones that need the clerk-friend. Clerk3 should be familiar with every branch of their department, be capable of demonstrating all the articles in it, and be willing to do so, without ever giving and evidence that anything is too much trouble. Special stress was laid by the speaker upon the fact that the customer remembers most the last impression he received, and if that last impression is a happy one, it means that the customer will come back. To leave a good impression upon the customer is quite as important as making the sale.

In expatiating upon this point, Mr. Fisk pointed out that one thing which a clerk should never do was to complete a sale, and then turn away and start doing something else, while the customer is still at the counter. Another suggestion was that a good clerk never overloads a customer with a lot of things he or she never expected to buy. In discussing this point, a number of concrete illustrations were cited. However, good retailing implies the ability to sell effective combinations.

The man who comes and buys a shirt may, with the use of tactful suggestion, probably be led to purchase a necktie. Or a customer buying an overcoat is a potential purchaser for a hat or gloves. Tact, personality, interest, personal development, and various other qualities ver6 discussed from a variety of every day practical angles, with concrete illustrations.

i. cV Fl On account of historical associations and for other reasonsr a great deal of interest attaches to the sale of the home of the late Mr. and Mrs. Alfred G. Saeger, which will be held on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the lobby of the Lehigh Valley Trust Company.

This property Is located at Fourth and Walnut streets, and it is at once the most pretentious and expensive home in AUentown, surrounded with all the association that made this the Queen City of the Lehigh Valley. The property represents an actual investment of at least sixty thousand dollars. It is hardly expected that it will bring that at the sale, and the chances are that the lucky purchaser will get at a moderate price a home to which he can always point with- pride. rm i The magnificent house. 49 bv 42 feet, is located on a lot with a front- age of 158 feet onWalnut street and 146 feet deep.

Besides bay windows and porches there are two additions to the house, which make it one of the most commodious homes in the city, larger than some hotels. Mr. Saeger was ag reat lover of horses and there is a stable which can be used for a garage. There are, of course, all improvements in the way of gas and electric- jity, with three or four fire places and 'an adequate steam heating plant. The outlook is one of the most pleasing in the city.

The front faces Allen Park, with Trout Hall restored, and the neighborhood represents the best of the city and Lehigh Valley in intellect, social standing and accomplishments. The ground was embraced in the historic tract taken by Jares Allen, the founder of Allentown, as the site for Trout Hall, and with the lapse of time became the property of the Homeopathic Healing Art Association, whose buildings were located on the site of the Second Ward school house. When the Homeopathic enterprise went its way, the property was 'bought by a Mr. Goepp, of Bethlehem, from whom it was purchased by Christian Pretz, in his day the leading citizen of Alelntown, a giant in business and a director of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. For a time Asa Packer, the founder of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, looked upon the property as a site for Lehigh University, but when he decided to establish that institution in South Bethlehem, Mrs.

Pretz built upon it his home, which is the property that will be sold on Saturday. It was originally a double house, Mr. Pretz living on one side, and his son rniiip on the other. About 1872 it was purchased by Mr. Saeger who transformed it into one house and a nome tnat was really a mansion There are about twenty rooms, all wen ngntea, the feature of the archi icciurai sciieme neing a wiae open stairway to the third floor, above wnicn is a skylight.

This stairway is in cherry, with easy landings. There is a foyer hall, to the front nf whir-h is a stained glass window, which adds not only to the lighting but enhances the artistic effect. Both the window and the skylight were made by Tiffany's and are beauiful and expensive. On the first floor also are parlor, library, music room, dining room, breakfast room, kitchen, butler's pantry, scullery and laundry. The floors are in hardwood and the decorative effects lavish and beautiful.

The bed rooms are superb in location and large in size, and on the second floor alone are 23 closets, besides two baths. It is to be hoped the property will come into the possession of some family who will carry out the fine traditions of the place, but it would also be most desirable as a club room, lodge home or fraternity house, in which respect it would surpass anything now in the city. 't wnoever gets tne property will have something to be proud of. modern, desirable and handsome, around which cling thoughts and memories of the pioneers of this throbbing municipality.

The Americanization of the foreigner Is a business Dronnsit.inn. and ts brought in sinking fact5 DrouSht out in an address, made Dy ueorge L. Fonda, head of the department of labor and safety of the Bethlehem Steel Company, at a meeting of the Americanization committee of the Chamber of Commerce, held last evening in the Chamber of Commerce rooms. It is from this staji- point mat the Bethlehem Steel Com I s. "inS this work, and has been doing it for the last four years.

Another striking fact brought out by Mr. Fonda, as well as by H. R. Erader, Safety and Welfare Inspector for the American Steel and Wire company, was that many foreigners are now inclined towards going back to Europe after the war, and that a most vigorous camaipgn of Americanization is necessary to prevent this happening on a scale which would knock the bottom out of certain departments and certain industries in this vicinity. After these two speakers had concluded, Chairman E.

A. Soleliac said that the only thing to" do was to set started, and it was accordingly decid-1 mai a contract De drawn up immediately between the Americanization committee and James F. Gallagher, who is to take charge of the Americanization work in this city. Mr. Gallagher was present at the meeting and made a few remarks.

A meeting for this nurnose win he heirt today. Survey Reveals Important Data. Between one-fourth and one-fifth of tne JO.uOO employees at the Bethlehem Steel Works are foreign born, according to a survey which has just been completed by the Bureau of uaDor and Safety, and of which a brief summary was given by Mr. Fonda. A total of 31 nationalities are represented among this number.

Quite a number of these foreigners have taken out their first naturalization papers, but proceeded no further. About 50 per cent of them, in answer to an express question included in the survey, were not interested in becoming American citizens, primarily because they wanted to go back to Europe after the war. Especially were the Austrians, Hungarians, Slovaks, Polish and Windish inclined this way. Many of them said they wanted to go back because they were curious to find out what has happened to their friends. This drain upon our labor resources, Mr.

Fonda pointed out, must be check ed. If these men go back, their governments will keep them there. This would be a most serious matter, es pecially ror certain lines of work "men nave Deen largely employed inese particular racial groups. "TJn- USAAG ATHLETIC TOURNEY LAST EVENING A HUMMER The quarantine at the U. S.

A.

The boxing touts proved to be thrillers and the outcome was a surprise to many. The feature of the evening was the bout between Johny Dutko, the Allentown lad now at the camp, and Behrems, of section 567, which Behrems won after four grueling rounds, proving to be the pre-vailable dark horse.

The other boxing matches of the evening were of three round duration. David, of section 557, winning from Aarons, 556, and Ames, of Casuals, found a comparatively easy task in gaining a decision over Dougles, of Casuals. In wrestling Wolly, section 541, and Fitzgerald, section 531, battled, tugged sweated ten minutes to a draw. Bergner, section 529, won from James, section 579, in a straight fall.

Brewn, champion walker of the world, is giving a very interesting demonstration of pedestrianism at the Orpheum on his own invention, the Twentieth Century Novelty Walking Machine. His walking partner in a one-mile race is Billy Weston, a direct descendant of the famous walker, Albert Payson Weston. At tonight's performance there will be a contest, open to the public, and for which cash prizes will be awarded.

It is anticipated that this will be a most interesting demonstration, appealing to those who appreciate the healthfulness of walking. As constructed the machine is on the order of the treadmill seen in the "County Fair," "The Futurity Winner." and other similar plays, except that the Brown machine is built on the level instead of an incline. The general public, both male and female, is invited to participate in tonights contest. Wjfe Deserter Arrested.
