all of the star athletes in the army

meeting. Prominent among these are
Don Scott, winner of the national half
mile last year; Ted Meredith, holder
of world's records at tjie quarter and
half; Howard Berry, intercollegiate
champion and Dana Jenkins, the fast

No outdoor boxing will be seen here
this summer, as John Weismantol,
promoter of the Broadway Sporting
Club, has been refused a license for
bouts at Ebbets Field during the
months of August and September.
Jack Dunn, Jr., son of the well
known baseball manager and veteran
ex-league player, was one in the early
draft in Baltimore. Young is consid
ered one of the best interscholastic
baseball and football players ever de

He is a real chip of the old black.
If Philadelphia "goes to" the task
of running the next Olympic games
the job will be done in regular style,
The annual relay race meeting of the
University of Pennslyvania at Frank

annual outdoor meet in America, is
proof enough that the Quakers can
handle anything in the way of mon

style. Philadelphia has one of the

"This gathering in Washington
would be under the auspices of th*
United States office of public roads
and rural en S lneerln 6 of the de P art '
t of agriculture," continues Mr.
DlebI ' " and , the f v ™ t ' ou,d be " ,ad ®
I most comprehensive in its scope ; there
could be a complete exhibit of road
"Unquestionably the time has ar
machinery and road materials; there
could be sample construction of varl
one kinds of highwuys; road schools
could be conducU ' d for Btllte - county
and town engineers, and various tech
nical pliusoS of the work could he set ;
forth by trained experts who would I
gladly attend such a great good-roads |
event.
I "Then there would come the interre- 1
latcd phases of rood travel, and road
transportation. Undoubtedly the de
partment of the Interior, because of Its ;
nu tional pnrks, would sot forth tho j
scenic attractions whicli are under
government supervision. Various states
would be given opportunity of adver-1
Using their attractions. ! •
"The good-roads board believes in |
state highway conventions which are 1
generally called for a specific purpose '
in the endeavor to concentrate the ef- :
forts of road enthusiasts for definite
ends. These state meetings are of in- !
calculable value, for the state is the
political subdivision which must carry
by f " r the greatest burden of future

ly assume tho obligation resulting
from the management of this great na

"The time mis arrived when high
way conventions should have more of
an official character. There should be
a good-roads meeting in every town
ship in the United States at least once
a year, held under the charge of the
chief highway official of the township.
There should be at least one county
meeting held every year In each coun
ty, under the charge of the county en
gineer or the chief highway official.
There should be oue state meeting In
each state each year, under the
charge of the state highway commis
sion. Then the local automobile clubs,
the good roads associations and others
could co-opernte in these conventions,
ns their interest nud location war- ]
ranted. The township, county and
state meetings should be held before,!
the national meeting, so that at each j
of tho sinnller gatherings delegates
could be named to go to the national
convention, which In reality would be
a great good roads school, lasting for
one week or two weeks, In the city
of Washington, under the charge of
the most important highway official
of the country, nnmely, the federal
authority in charge of governmenta
expenditure."

Set a Good Example.
Drag the roads adjoining your farm

when marketing time comes.
