Outdoor Art League Secures 800
to Fill Gap in Lippard
Street
Amateur Laborers Are Paid
With Old Fashioned New
England Dinner

Through the untiring solicitation of
the women of the Glenn Park outdoor
art league, 900 men labored yester-
fill in Lippard street between Glenn
avenue and Berkshire street. AS a
result Glenn Park district will here
after be amply protected from fire, as
the engines can now make the run
from the station to the park in seven
minutes, where before 1t took % min
utes because of the wide detour neces-
sary.
Lippard street has been impossible
for vehicles because of q. small gulch
that cut through it. After the men
had completed the 10 foot fill yester-
day Fire Captain Buckley reported that
a fire engine could be pulled over the
street easily.
In persuading the men OF the dis
trict to do the work so necessary. the
women proved themselves fine diplo-
mats. They advertised the event at
every opportunity and spared no pains
to announce that a real old fashioned
New England boiled dinner was to be a
reward for those who welded their
picks and shovels. The boiled dinner did
1T. A little before O'Clock 800 very
uEoWSy men were seen Sleeplly Wenu-
ing their way toward the scene of
their labors. Promptly at Theodore
Pinther. president of the Glenn Park
Improvement club sunk his pick deep
into the earth and the Improvement
work had started.
Cheered on by the women, the men
labored necessarily until IL o'clock,
when Mrs. A. ]. Bierwith. chairman
of the street committee of the league,
announced that the work was COM
pleted and the men had earned their
dinners. The picks were gladly
dropped from weary hands, and the
psuedo road makers made a dash for
the home of Mrs. E. ]. Moriarty, II
Glenn avenue, where the steaming
spread prepared by the ladies awaited
them.
While the dinner progressed the
band from the Hebrew orphanage
played several excellent selections
After every crumb of eatables had
been consumed, the gathering dis
banded until evening, when they again
met, this time to dance.
The outdoor art league was organ
lied by Mrs. Theodore Pinther and has
a membership of 81 ladies' All were
present yesterday. Those in charge

OPPORTUNITIES IN THE EAST.

IN q conversation which the writer
lad recently with former resident Of
the state Of New York. but who is at
present ia the employ Of the United
States government. the latter express
ed II US his very decided opinion that
with real estate property selling at
present prices In the eastern states
there was vastly better opportunity
there for the home seeker who WA,
willing TO take up the fruit and dairy
business or farming Oh small scale
than In any other part Of the country
In reply 10 the question II II were not
possible TO make good money on the
farms referred to he cited The case OF
the old home farm Of thirty seven
acrcs IN New York state. eighteen
acres Of which were some twenty-five
years ago set 10 orchard During the
past ten years this tract OF ground has
given return equal TO 10 per cent OH
much confidence has this gentleman IN
the possibilities to be found in eastern
states that he but a few weeks ago
turned down hattcring offer OF u
professorship In a leading agricultural
college Of the country To 70 back home
ana buy more land adjoining the home
farm for the purpose Of putting out
more apple trees or course il goes
without SAYING that many portions of
the section OF the country referred 10
are not suited TO orchard growing. but
there would seem 10 be opportunity
for going into poultry or dairyIng AS
a substitute. and, while the returns
would hardly be as large as IN the
case referred to. It Is fair to assume
that there would be safe margin OF
profit
