SOCIAL ENJOYED

The Southern Methodist parsonage
was the scene of a delightful social
affair in the form of a pound party
yesterday afternoon, given in honor
of Rev. Longacre and his wife.
About twenty congenial ladies were
present, Rev. Longacre being the sole
representative of his sex, which he
declared was most embarrassing.
During the afternoon he favored
those present with a short talk re-
garding the group missionary meet
ing held in Clearwater today and to-
night. All for whom it was possible
were urged to attend this meeting, as
Mr.. Longacre declared that spirit
ual treat awaited those who could at
tend. This work, which is carried on
with much enthusiasm by the mem
bers of the missionary society, is wor-
Thy of the support of all who can in
any way help it along.

SEVEN-POUND TROUT
CAUGHT IN THE BAYOU

Mr., George Hathaway, of Massachu-
sets, a guest at the Elton, caught a
7-pound trout from Spring bayou in
front of and within stones throw of
the hotel yesterday afternoon. While
this is one of the largest trouts that
have been caught there this winter, it
is by no means an exceptional catch,
as nearly every day sees good strings
Of trout from the same water. The
fish will be taken to St. Petersburg by
President Linn of the board of trade
for mounting, and will be placed on
exhibition at the South Florida fair
next month.
Florida waters, and more especially
the waters adjacent to this city, are
providing fine sport for the fishermen
this winter. We have watched reports
from the various resorts of the state,
and we think that Tarpon Springs has
furnished more real good true fish
stories this winter than any other
place in the state.

LADIES AID OF THE =
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
DELIGHTFULLY."- ENTER
TANNED AT THE MANSE

The Ladies aid of the Presbyterian
church met at "The Manse" with Mrs.
Milne as hostess yesterday afternoon.
There were number of invited guests
who greatly enjoyed the hospitality of
the hostess.
1t was suggested by one of the men,
bers that flowers be sent to two sick
members and that postal shower be
given to third who is confined to her
home. This we think a very pretty
idea, fulfilling the meaning of the
name of the society. y.
Those present were: Mrs. Fletcher
and baby, Mrs. Slauson, Mrs. Wheeler
and daughter, Miss Pond, Miss Matte
Fernald, Miss Florence Chaplin, Mrs.

PRESIDENT MAY HAVE TO MAKE
"A SECOND TRIP TO EUROPE

!. Paris, Jan. 29.-As much as Presi-

ond European trip, it begins to look
as if the trend of peace conference af-

need of his return he felt that his
course would be found to be fully JUS

hi sreturn to the United States.
Friends of the president here say he
is prepared to answer any criticisms
of his intended return to France, with
facts which he will lay before con-
greSS.

Evolution Of High
way Building
by J. E. Jones, U. S. Press Associa-
ton, Washington, D. ca

=
ton, Washington, D. c.
Reconstruction must be applied lit
orally to the highways of the Unite,
States, and the farmer, the business
man, the truck owner and the tourist
are all joining in demands upon Wash
lngton and their state and county po-
litical authorities for better roads. /
Government statistics demonstrated
that moving farm products by wagon
costs 80 cents per ton mile as COM
pared with Is cents per ton mile by
the motor truck. The element of
time is equally important, and since
motor traffic has increased 100 per
cent in these last two years there is
not only a need for new highways, but
the old main-traveled roads must re-
ceive attention.
Only thirteen per cent of the high
ways of the United States are of hard
surface, and the "crack" roads of the
east have been "cracked to pieces" by
the strain of motor traffic. "Wagon
loads" have an average capacity of
five tons; the heavy motor trucks
when loaded weigh two or three times
as much, and with eighty per cent Of
this load riding the rear wheels, and
gliding across country at the rate of
twenty miles an hour, the result has
been ruin to lightly constructed high
ways.
Road building, in its relation to re-
construction, is recognized by the fed
eral government as of immediate i'm
portance, since it offers means Of
providing work for returning soldiers
and discharged munition workers. It
is added that it will take contractors
out of the nothing doing" class and
make them the busiest Of the busy; It
Will give road supervisors something
to talk about besides making excuses
for bad highways; it will make the
| quarries and stone crushers prosper
Gus; boom sales for road machinery.
cement, asphale, tar, etc, as we'll as
enable the farmer to get more closely
IN touch with town and city markets,
sell more cheapIy and deliver produce
more regularly; decrease transporta-
ton costs, relieve delays and increase
the pleasure of automobling. These
are the arguments that are alive in
every community, and which are slim
ulating the demand for more modern
methods of highway building that con-
stitute d complete revolution and ev-
Iolution Of this phase of our national
progress.
In this revolution of highway con-
struction it has been found that the
old methods of building highways are
entirely inadequate. Dirt and clay
roads that were made possible by ell
bow grease, simple scrapers and the
pick and shovel, are now achieved in
a more modern manner through the
compelling power of sticks of dyna-
mite fortified by energizing steam
Shovels, road building machinery, and
modern road building products.
1t may be said, with the definiteness
to be attached to the highest sources
of information, that congress will at
tempt to create a brand new set of
laws for the purpose of making the
public roads as much a part of the ma
TONS business as are the affairs of
the army and navy. Road building,
