PEACE
HIT AT JEFFERSON
Therapeutics Professor Calls II
Utopian Dream at Open
ing Of College

Universal peace is a dream that can
be realized only in Utopia because the
fundamental idea of nature is built upon
the "go and get it" policy of the sur
vival Of the fittestS
This sentiment was the outstanding
feature Of the address Of DIR. Robert
Amory Hare, professor of therapeutics.
delivered at the ninety sixth annual
opening session Of the Jefferson Med
ical College last night.
The entire student body and the fac
ulty were gathered in the clinical am
phitheatrc for the services. DR.. Ross
V. Patterson. the dean, announced that
the total registration would be $40 stu =
dents. and that but, $50 of the 100 ap-
plications for admitancc TO the fresh .
man class would be granted.
Doctor Hare's address. in addition to
reference to universal peace. was fca =
tured by his admonition to the students
to be imaginative, but not to allow them
to be carried away by their imagination,
a course. he said, leading to anarchy
and bolshevism.
1000 block of Spruce street was an
nounced by William Potter, president
Of the board of trustees. Mr.. Potter
stated that possession of the property
would not be obtained for a year. 1t is
the purpose of the college to build an
annex to the nurses home in the prop.
erty recently obtained. Fifty thousand
dollars of the purchase price was con
tributed by the board of trustees.
Mr. Potter also announced that the
bronze tablet presented to Jefferson
College by the Alumni Association in
memory of the twenty five graduates
who died in the service of the govern
mcnt during the war would be unveiled
on October 2. The appointment of DR..
Frank G.. Knowles to the chair of der
matology was announced by Mr.. Potter
The majority of the new student
body comes from Pennsylvania. but
among them are men from Porto
Rico. South America, China. Syria,
India. the Philippine and Hawaiian
Islands, and many of the European
countries. About sixty students from
fifteen other medical schools who have
partly completed their medical courses
have this year come to Jefferson. at
tracted by the clinical facilities and
reputation of the institution.

STATE HIGHWAYS
MUCH IMPROVED
Annual Tour by Department o.
ficials Shows Great Progress
Made in Year
By a stdd Correspondent

Scranton, Pa, Sept. 23.--The first
day $ trip Of the annual inspection tour
of the State Highway Department has
shown conclusively the progress made
in the campaign to give Pennsylvania
.he best system of state roads In tne
United States.
Officials Of the department who arc
making the three day tour were de-
lighted with the results shown in the
much Travelled regions surrounding
Delaware Water Gap and through the
Pocono mountains. Despite a shortage
of cars which has held back construc
tion on the states roads for the last
two years. work has so far been com
pleted that few, If any, stretches OF in =
ferior roads exist between Allentown
Stroudsburg and Scranton.
a. Il. ii. Smith, district engineer, o.
Allentown, declared that one of the
greatest problems now confronting rne
highway department is that, of grade
crossings, of which there are between
10000 and 10000 in the state.
Expense Is Heavy
The number Of wrecks and fatal ac-
cidents occurring at grade crossings
make 1t imperative that they be elimi-
mated, but when it is realized that with
the annual appropriations not more
than fifteen can be done away with
every year, it Is easy to see how vital
n problem il is that we must face
One three mile stretch Of the Allen
town -Pottstown road. lying between
Allentown and Emaus. served as a
good example of the expense attached
to the abolition Of grade crossings. In
stead OF repairing the old road ct this
point. which would have necessitated
the elimination of two grade crossings,
the Highway Department relocated the
road so as to avoid the railroad tracks
o-ttirey. The cost of building an en-
tire new stretch of road amounted to
SlO6,OOO, whereas the repairing of the
old road, together with the work at
the grade crossings would have cost the
state nearly $3.50, 900. Department of
hcials believe a similar saving of ex-
pense can be effected by the building
OF entirely new roads so as to avoid
grade crossings wherever possible.
Concrete Is Favored
Concrete has been proved the best
road material, in the opinion of the
state highway officials, who pointed
with particular pride to the almost
perfect stretches of road from Allen
town to the Water Gap. and again
from the Pocono mountains to Scranton,
all of which have been completed
within the last two years, and which
are almost as smooth us glass. Penn
sylvania, which leads all the states in
the mileage of its state roads, has also
been one of the foremost pioneers in the
use of concrete. There are, at the
present time. approximately 1925
miles of roads in the state highway sys-
TEN of Pennsylvania, exclusive of the
6S4 miles contracted for in 1919, and
the 321 miles contracted for up to Sep.
tember of this year. which have not
been completed. Bids will be opened

ROBBED OF $55
Auto Hishwaymen WayIay Man on
Sevehty-first Street

Joseph f. w. Davis, Of 5S4G Wash
ington avenue, was held up and robbed
at 2 80 o'clock this morning at Sew
enty first street and the Pennsylvania

The young man was walking along
Seventy first street, he told the police
when an automobile containing three
men drew up to the curb and two
jumped out. They drew revolvers and
ordered him to throw up his hands.
The neighborhood is n lonely one.
and there was no person in sight. Da /.
Wis was forced to obey the highway
mems order, and they took from his
pocket a wallet containing 500 in cash
and check.
Then, still covering him with their
revolvers. the youths backed into the
car and it whrlcd away. Davis hur-
ricd to the Sixty fifth street and Wood
land avenue station and reported the
hold up, and men were sent out imnle-
diatcly to look for the bandits, but with
no result.

MAY BE COuGHLIN BABY
Try to Identify Child Found In New
York as Kidnapped Boy

A blue-eyed baby boy, who, it is
thought, might be Blakely Coughlin,
kidnapped from his home near Norris
town June ., is being cared for by the
New York Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children. He has been
there since + 40 o'clock last Thurs
day night. when he was picked up at
147th street and Eleventh avenue. New
York city. and is known as Little
John Doe"
He was-brought to the society in the
arms Of patrolman. and is too young
to tell his name. He is about two
years old and has light hair. His de-
scription fits in many ways with that
of the kidnapped boy. The child was
hugging stuffed dog and was calling
Mamma when picked up.
The little fellow is clad in blue romp-
ers, a brown sweater, white socks and
black button shoes. He wore no hat.
Officials said the child did not re-
sembe the usual type iof abandoned
baby. His cleanly appearance led them
to believe he had merely strayed from
home.
