AMERICAN ROAD
BUILDERS MEETING

New York, Jan. t4.--While the
road building industry is recovering!
slowly from the shock of war, thu
demand for improved roads il ~,
great that enormous appropriations
are being made TO cover the cost of
construction and maintenance.
During the war period. the high
cost of labor and materials. as wei!
as the difficulty In selling highway
bonds greatly retarded the work of
new construction. At the same time,
the increased use of motor We
hicles. and especially those of com
mcrcial utility, brought out forcibly
the lack of adequate highways,
"A fun discussion of all these and
the many other points involved. viii
be developed at the seventeenth an
nual convention OF the American
Road Builders association at Louis
VILE. Ky. February tn 10 Inclusive.
In connection with the convention
will be held the tenth annual road
congress and the eleventh national
good roads show.
The convention. congress and show
will all be held In the Jefferson
County arniory. a vast structure, with
over $4,000 SO It, OF available floor
space, in addition to the assembly
| hall.
In ante-bellum days, the oonvcn-
! tons. congresses and shows attract
| ed wide attention. as they presented
| the highest development of good
| roads Intelligence both technically
and practically. At these shows were
| assembled practically every device in
the way of road building machinery
and every variety OF material which
| can be used in the construction and
| maintenance of roads and streets.
1t is expected that the Louisville
show will be larger and more com
! plete than any of its predecessors.
owing to the vast appropriations
available throughout the country for
| road and street work and the promise
of great activity during the coming
| season.
| The developments in highway en-
| gineering and construction brought
about under the stress of military
necessity Will be given due promi-
hence on the program. 1t lis expect
! ed that several officers OF ths en-
gineering divisions OF the army
abroad will be present and participate

country. A large sum OF money

stipulation that if during a GER

TYPICAL JEWISH RE-

Strasford, Germany.-Several
weeks ago we wrote Of the slap
which the anti-Semitic editor Of
the Tageblatt, Hottenroth, re-
ceived from the wife of the Jew
ish doctor, Rieger, Of this city.
Since then several other things
have happened to this same Jew
batter which are of even greater
interest. rG"
AS might have been expected
Hottenroth hailed with Joy the
impending reactionary coup d.
etat and played his part in the
Kapp revolution. When it failed
he had to hide for a certain time.
One day the adherents of the re-
publican government found him
and pulled him into the street.
The enraged crowd which gath
cred beat the hated editor and
then dragged him to the bridge to
throw him into the river. At this
critical moment the merchant, Jo-
seph, Jew, often abused by Hot
tenroth in his publication, who
happened to pass by, interceded
for the victim and persuaded the
mob to spare his life The popu-
lace quieted' down. and Hotten-
roth, wounded and Ill was taken
home. Here he received first
ii aid from the very same DR.. RE
ger whom he had SO deeply in
suited and whose wife slapped
him but short time ago.
