Motor Club (Jovt'i'iiorfi Also Dim'uss Laws Ucl'oru Legislature Ever Hwukc to the needs of the motorics ol this community the members of tin- hoard of governors of the Lehigh Vulley Motor t'luli met iRHt evening in the looms of the secretary, lluriy I. Koch, at 7 2 It Hamilton second Hour, and discussed matter for the general kooi! of the auto owner and driver. It whs the Hcnse of the meeting that there are many nood laws now before the legislature, at llarrlaburg and that many amendment could bo made, which would work to the benelt of the state mid the iiutoist, and It was with this idea In mind th il a resolution wan passed recommending their approval though the Motor Federation, which body will be advised of the suggestions made hy the local chili lor the betterment of the laws. The suggestions, of course. Mould be for the benefit of the local motorist, hut It is the belief that their suggestions would be of statr-wlde importance.

lAnother mutter that is of vital importance to the local auto driver, was a discussion of speed traps set along some of the highways, and of "fan-tically ruled" stretches of road, daily-used by the tourist. It was decided that these matters be investigated by the Lehigh Valley Motor Club and a complete report made back to a later meeting of the body. iVVhen a roll call was made of the membership of the organization It was shown that numerically the society was on an axcellent footing and that the membership and financial resources were far in excess of that reported at any time during the last four years. This Information was most LIST OF PROPERTIES CliamlitT of Commerco Ofliciul JsMiOfS Jiivilulion to OWIUU'H of Arunufaetiirlnir Sites With a desire to have a complete llstinx of ail available altos for man ufuct'urliiff purposes in Its hands tho chamber of commerco is extending- an invitation to all properly own em whose properties would bo available for manufacturing purposes to list th lands 'With- tho sicietury. It is the do sire of tho secretary to be with this Information, so that the de tails may be forwarded to the prospec tive manufacturers who contemplate locating- In this city.

It has boon suggested by tho officers of tho body that this information bo forwarded by mail or In per so as soon us possible, und whero practicable plot of the ground should accompany the Information. Within the year mi'iiy represuntu fives of manufacturing plants will vls it this city, and. with detailed lnfor nation of available niauulacturltig pluuts on hand much valuable inl'or matlon can be given at once and a considerable amount of valuable time will be saved. Time is a watch word with tho new secretary, who reaJizes that the loss of a minute in the chamber's work is the loss of real money to the city at large. The Industrial bureau is already at rwork, and it will be but a short time before many manufacturers will be -in duced to give the "Queen City" a close scrutiny with the Idea of locating here, so that all the information will be of the greatest value.

It has been suggested that the most valuable information to accompany the description of a manuBacturlng site should be its proximity to railroads, or to its adaptability to the con struction of sidings which wil' connect the railroads entering the city. These latter advantages, it is said, are of the most vital importance to the manu facturing concern, no mattec what its size During ttie course of the year there will be a complete survey made of the city with a view of locating its available manufacturing sites, but In ho mean time, with the information on hand, as asked by tho chamber of commerce, much good may be accom plished and a great amount of valua- llo time will be. saved in presenting the local advantages to the prospect from the information given by the owners of available sites.

URGED 10 RESERVE SEATS FOR SYMPHONY CONCERT The patrons of the Allcntown 'Sym phony orchestra are requested to have their seats reserved at Kebach Moy- eds' music store, at 103 North Sixth before Sunday so as to facilitate tho hajidling of the people. Much inconvenience has been caused heretofore because of delay in the reservations, an dit is expected that early se curing of seats will save annayunce. The gallery and balcony will be open to the general public again, and en trance will be had from the Court. St. front.

The prospects are that the au dience will again fill the theatre to its capacity. Director Moll has put the finishing touches on the rehearsals, and the men have responded finely to the score. A thoroughly enjoyable performance in every respect is assured. The program as arranged is the best one yet presented by the organization. The first niumber will be the ''L'Ar- sienne suite by Bizet.

This calls for exquisite musicianship, for it is a composition of the highes tcalibre. The second number will 'be Sybelius' tone poem, "Finlandia," which has been played by many of the leading orches tras all over the country, and has proved an immense favorite. The closing number will be the new Dvork composition, "Prom the New World," whose theme is laid upon the founda- ion of the. music of this country, de scending from the negro and Indian le genus. It is UiorougiU luik lore in its makeup.

What distinguished Dvorak's symphony is not mere negro melody or even American song, but a genuinely folk-feeling in the widest meaning. Dvorak is of all later mas ters the most eminent folk musici; He shows greatest sympathy, freedom and delight in revealing among th sim iple tones and rhythms of popular utterance, rearing on them, all in poetic spontaneity, a structure of high art. It will be the first time the composi tion will be played here. MRS. KLINKER'S WLL ADMITTED TO PROBATE The will of Mrs.

ARTICLES BY MEMBERS OF MUHLENBERG FACULTY An article on "The Influence of the Reformation on the Renaissance in Italy," by Prof.

J. W. Brown, of Muhlenberg college, appears in the January number of the Lutheran Church Review. The nature study review for March contains an article by Prof. H.

D. Bailey of iMuhlen'berg college, on "The White Rat as a Pet." Prof. Bailey shows that white rats make excellent pets for children, since they are perfectly harmless.

The January Lutheran Church Review contains an article written by Prof. R. C. Horn, of Muhlenberg college, dealing with early Christianity. Prof.

Horn last Wednesday spoke in the Lutheran Church Review on "The Passion Play at Oberammergau." Prof. Horn has been asked to speak on this subject quite frequently, since he personally saw this play while travelling in Europe several years ago.
