AFFAIR UNDER THE AUSPICES OF L. V. M.

C. George H. Biles, State Engineer of Road Maintenance Was Present and, a Brief Address, Pointed Out the Importance of Drainage. That the old time methods of road building and maintenance are being and a have perforce to be revolutioniz-92 ed to meet the demands of latter travel, with the emphasis on autos and heavy auto trucks; the successful method of construction and maintenance of dirt roads, still so largely in the majority; what the State Pennsylvania has for the past years been doing and its extensive plans for the future to place the state in the forefront of commonwealths high class road construction and maintenance, with strong' arguments why the supervisors should urge in their respective districts support at the election of the $50,000,000 loan under the Sproul good roads and State. the urgent need of having all State highways under the supervision of a State head like the public school system enjoys- -these and numerous other matters of practical importance were the salient points under discusion at the annual complimentary banquet tendered the supervisors of Lehigh and Northampton counties by the Lehigh Valley Motor Club at the Laury's hotel on Saturday afternoon.

Besides the supervisors, a. number of county officials responded to invitations. To the Lehigh Valley Motor Club clearly belongs much of the credit for any improvements that the Lehigh and Northampton roads have manifested during the past few years, and the source of the efforts toward improved conditions may readily be traced to the annual gatherings of road authorities, such as the one held on Saturday. Another matter that the gathering evidenced the relegation plainly, history of was, long -established and almost universal practice of honoring with supervisorships such men of the community who enjoyed no qualifications, but old age and the incapacity of performing further manual labor to any remunerative degree. The supervisors gathered at Laury's on Saturday were on the whole.

a set of men who possessed and exhibited Interest and intelligence in the work delegated to them. They listened atto edifying and practical adtentively, and asked questions tha't were based on sound logic. That this section of the State is receiving just recognition from the state highway department was reflected in the presence of George H. Biles, engineer of maintenance of the state department. who delivered an address in which he referred to the department's immediate interest in the Bethehem and the Coopersburg pikes.

As in former years, the members of the motor club brought the supervisors from every quarter of the two counties to the meeting place, and conveyed them to their homes. As a man's heart is most readily reached through his stomach, the program opened about one o'clock with a sumptuous chicken dinner. And the speech making began. then, Motor Club president Lerch called the gathering to order and, after thanking the club members for bringing the supervisors to the meeting, and referring to the improved road conditions in many sections of the counties, he introduced J. Mark Mauser.

former club president and one of the most successful supervisors this section has ever known, to preside over the post prandium. Mr. Mauser in his opening remarks referred with regret to the enforced absence of Judge Frank M. Trexler who had not missed any of the prevous meetings under similar, auspices. Judge Trexler was be a'bsent as he was sitting specially in the criminal Philadelphia.

Assemblyman" Kuhns The first speaker introduced was Hon. E. G. M. Kuhne, State representative from the Third Legislative District of Lehigh County.

Mr. Kuhns said in part: claim there is no office where you can meet more people than in the position of supervisor. You meet everybody coming down the pike. We have in this state a little over 8000 miles on paper classed as State roads. Then we have county roads.

They have them in the Western part of the state. Our commissioners have not built any of these for us as yet. Then we have the dirt roads. You will get some money from the state in the very near future. You can look for the full amount due you for 1911 in fall.

Every m0- torist agrees that if the dirt road has Its proper shape and is properly graded, it is the most agreeable road. The first condition to be considered must he drainage. Keep the water out of the road. Be sure that you have the center of road well elevated.

We are about years behind the time the, In building roads. "We are only experimenting in road building. It ought not be necessary to rebuild a piece of road every year. The State hithway department is now ready to give out the information whereby you are supposed to be able to build a road bed that will last. They call it Warrenite, autos are to stay and it is necessary to build roads for their usage (Contiaved on Page 12).

Clear skies and a cooling breeze, and the atmosphere, purified by the terrific electric storm of Friday, tempted most inveterate sty-at-home to venture forth from their front porch a and rocking chairs to spend a few hours under the spreading chestnut trees or parks and near-by resorts. What in the rare as a day in June was fully realized by the hundreds of autoists, excursionists, motorcyclists, pedestrians and owners of a horse and buggy, who from early morning till long towards midnight availed themselves of some form of transportation for recreation and amusemnt. The motorcyclist and autoist were the Arst of that large regiment of pleasure-seekers to leave the city.

In the early hours of morning the auto horn and sirens of these horseless vehicles could be heard as they hurried down the streets on their long distant runs to neighboring cities and towns. a How many automobiles and motor cycles left the city yesterday it is impossible to estimate, but everybody, nearly, who owned or could borrow a machine, left the city for a ride into the country. The railroads were well patronized. Both the Lehigh Valley and the Reading had advertised excursions. Over 800 people were taken to Philadelphia over the P.

and R. and 300 left the city early in the morning for Lake Hopatcong over the Jersey Cenral. The ever popular and regular New York excursion over the Valley induced about 200 Allentonians to spend a day in the Metropolis or the resorts near that big town. The excursion to Hazleton carried fully 190 people from this city to the mountain city where the Bethlehem Steel Band yesterday played, and was one of the leading features in the attraction given at Hazel park, the amusement resort of Hazleton. The Lehigh Valley Transit Company reports an unusually heavy travel on lines coming into the city.

pond' upon car load of city people were taken to Central Park where the Allentown Band, under the direction of Martin Klingler, gave during the afternoon, a musical program of an exceptionally high quality. Other concessions at the Park were equally well patronized and there were countless number of family parties and out-door meals taken. A.t Dorney's Park the delightful natural beauty of the place induced hundreds to seek the quiet of the grove and the deep shade of the populars to listen to the music of the Allentown Band, which played many popular, and a few classical selections. The pool was filled the greater part of the afternoon with a swarm of amphibious youngsters yho desported in the water to their heart's content. There was also exceptionally heavy travel on the Philadelphia section of the Liberty Bell route- -many going the entire length of the line, and hundreds stoppini off at Summit Lawn to roam in the woods the Lehigh mountains.

Many people visited Waldheim Grove to look over the scene of the Allentown Chautauqua which opens this afternoon. LEHIGH PORTLAND BOYS HAVE OUTING 250 of Them; and They Filled Up on Clams and Then Tried to Play Ball- Prepared by the proprietor of the Neffsville Hotel, Mr. Moser and consumed by the office force and heads of the various departments of the Lehigh Portland Cement Company, the clambake at Neff's Saturday was quite the most thoroughly enjoyed affair of its kind yet held. The 250 persons, who partook of the feast said that Luculus may have been some feeder, but he had nothing on the office force of the L. P.

After the comestibles had been consumed the party was lead by Ray Bear in the singing and solemn "Schnitzelbunk" which was followed to the bitter end. A ball game between the Mill force and the Office force displayed the fact that the Tri-State scouts have not been on the job, or they would have signed almost every man who took part. Further comment on the ability of the players is not altogether necessary.

But the gospel of Jesus is just powerful and just as able to change people's lives in Brazil as anywhere else. We have seen a whole munity of people given to quarreling and drink, converted, and the place come a valley of peace and praise God." The elder spoke of one man, had been a champion fighter" and "upon becoming converted spent whole days asking forgiveness of whom he had wronged, before he sidered himself ready for baptism."

One of the coming events this fall the art world in America will be exhibition of paintings by Peter Gross. the distinguished artist Paris, who is a native of Lehigh county. The exhibition will be held in adelphia and New York and is being looked forward to with a great deal interest.

Mr. Gross went to Paris twen. ty-five years or more ago and became famous for his wonderful work the brush and pallette. He is one landmarks of Paris and wherever the art world is known he is one of distinguished brethren. He has some very excellent work and has highly commended for it by conosseurs.

His pictures have hung in the Salon Paris, the highest aim of all artists. Mr. Gross will bring a large number pieces with him when he arrives September and will be a visitor in city quite extensively while in country. He is a cousin of A. N.

Lindenmuth, the well-known photographer, and himself a painter of great achievement and greater promise, of Squire Henry D. Gross, of Schnecks. ville. He has numerous friends in section and scarcely a year passes a. large number of people, from county call upon him his famous studio.

Mr. Gross claims Allentown his home and it was in memory of former days here that he presented city with a large canvass depicting pastoral scene outside of Paris which now hangs on the walls of Allentown library. He induced friend, Grimlund, to give the city picture also and the latter sent to Mr. Lindenmuth for the city, a painting the pont of Marseilles. This picture also hangs in the library.

Both are the painters' best vein and have caused much favorable comment for their finish and the beauty of the composition and the color work. Ait the present time Mr. Lindenmuth has on display in his window seven paintings in oil and one done in water color, which Mr. Gross gave to him while he was in Paris with him several years ago. Many people have come the gallery see them.

The paintings are of Mr. Gross' earlier days and are mostly marines, distinguished by their wonderful coloring. Another picture has been added to the collection in the shape of a composition of Mr. Gross' later years. It is the one which Mr.

Gross presented last year to former Sheriff Jacob B. Waidelich, who spent four days him while on his continental trip his brother, Rev. J. with Waidelich, of Sellersville, last year. The Waidelich brothers were more than welcomed by Mr.

Gross when they called upon him, for it brought back him tender recollections of former days. The late Prof. Charles Rudy, of Schnecksville, who established the Rudy Academy in Paris and succeeded in building up an institution that had 2300 students and 80 professors, among whom was Prof. Oliver Holben, of this city, was an uncle of Mr. Gross.

Mr. Waidelich's father was a friend of his and while on a visit Paris Rudy insisted that he should remain with him, which he did for some length of time. Mr. Gross often heard his uncle speak of the Mr. Waidelich and in consequence became well acquainted with the name.

When the Waidelich brothers sent in their card him Mr. Gross Immediately remembered the name and invited the brothers to be his guests while in Paris. They remained with him for four days and Mr. Gross acted as their guide while there. They were taken to all the centres of Paris and were greatly entertained by the felicity with which their guide spoke of paintings and his intimate knowledge of the subject of art.

The brothers had A treat rarely enjoyed by Americans in consequence. They were also shown the Gross collection of paintings and when they picked out pictures which appealed to them Mr. Gross Immediately made a present of them to his visitors. These touched up and several weeks ago shipped them to America. Each paintwas inscribed.

The former Sherbore the words, "To my friend, J. B. Waidelich, P. A. Gross." The picture has been handsomely framed is in striking contrast to the farm scene and is exquisite earlier work of the artist.

It depictor and cheerful in aspect. The distant perspective shows mountain and in foreground are trees, rich with the greenness of eternal spring. The sky is gem. The picture is a very pleasing and is a fine example of the paintart. Mr.

Waidelich says there isn't enough money in the United States to buy it from him. Opening of Eagles' Roof Garden on Monday Evening, June 23rd. Music by Pioneer Band. 19-4t. Adv.
