Schwab, E. G. Grace, Edward F. Trefz and a number of other men of national reputation as the honor guests. It was the most successful dinner ever given by the local busi ness organization and the visitors were impressed, they said, with the deep feeling for civic interest exhibited by the more than 400 diners present. Briefly some of the city's accomplishments along the lines of fine parks, adequate water supply, paved streets, improved sewers and River Front development were traced. The City-That-Is-To-Be Then the picture of the city-that-is-to-be was painted. Jn glow ing words one of the speakers presented the view of the city of a million population, with still finer parks, adequate and more effective schools, still greater playground facilities, undreamed-of river de velopment, smoke-belching factories and feverish mills that never cease to turn —a contented, happy city where everyone is busy and where everyone has time to play. Extension Flans "We have one or two underlying principles at Bethlehem." continued the steel company president. "We are a big happy co-operative family and we pay 100 cents on every dollar earned. "At Steelton we have a well-defined line of extensions. As we see the properties there to-day we will spend between fifteen and twenty millions just as fast as Mr. Bent asks for the appropriations." Later Mr. Schwab confirmed tnis prediction of Mr. Grace and declared that the total cost of the improve ment program of the Bethlehem in terests for the next three years calls for about $90,000,000. He intimated that a hundred million would be spent before the plans were perfected. In introducing Mr. Schwab the toastmaster hinted that down in Steelton the scholars usually skip the early part of history and start in on the page telling of Schwab- —"because there was nothing doing before his time." Mr. Gilbert declared Schwab "looked good to the Chamber of Com merce and he only hoped it looked good to him." Mr. Schwab prefaced his remarks with a story at the expense of a newspaperman who tried to interview him earlier in the day and then paid one of the highest tributes ever given a steel man to President Grace. Tribute to Grace "Mr. Grace Is a remarkable man," said he. "I want to say something nice and something true aDOut him. He has had the most remarkable career of any young man I ever knew. I regard him as at the very head of the steel manufacturing industry in the United States. I predict for him a further career that w*:t e a pride to us all.

I tell you if I didn't think he was the greatest steel man he wouldn't be j president of the Bethlehem inter ests." "Gentlemen, your toastmaster has expressed a hope. I don't express the hope—you DO look good to me. I hope to be one of you und to visit you often. Up to Bent Mr. Schwab also paid a glowing I tribute to Quincy Bent, general man j ager of the Steelton plant when he said; We feci we have made a re markable acquisition when we se cured the Pennsylvania Steel com pany because we acquired Mr. Bent. If we have obtained noth ing else we have him. If Steel ton succeeds it will be because of Mr. Bent. He is to be the ab solute power there and what ho recommends will be done—and I might say he isn't a bit modest In his recommendations. They come in with such rapidity that Mr. Grace is kept busy signing Uie authorizations." Mr. Schwab declared his chief in terest in life is the success of his mills ! and their development. He told of the early days when he never drew in dividend from the Bethlehem plant j but put every cent it earned right j back into development. Steelton's Future "Above all." said the -reel king, "I want to see Steelton develop into what \it should be.

Goldfish Swim About at Third and Market Sts. This is a fish tale of Third and Market streets.
