RETURN FROM
R THRO'
EUROPE
Newarkers Tell of Expert
ence in Auto Trip in Ger
many and Denmark.

Mr., and Mrs. Peter Back, OF 105 South
Seventh street. nave just returned from a
four months motor trip through Europe
in their Maxwell runabout. Most of their
time was spent in touring Germany and
Denmark. In describing their trip they
praised the roads throushout the German
empire, declaring them to be even better
than the best that their own State of
Jersey affords.
The one drawback they encountered vas
the matter of expense Gasoline costs up
ward OF SO cents per gallon, and before one
is allowed to run his car he has to put
up a slzeable tax. For a 12-horsepower
car the motorist pays $40 for one month,
$50 for four months and $40 for one year.
High-power cars are correspondingly more.
When the tax is paid a number Is given
to the motorlst by the police, but before
this 1t is necessary for him to show an
American drivers license, countersigned in
the United States by the German Consul,
Failing to have this, the owner must make
a trial run before a selected specialist. and
he pays the specialist $40 for looking at
him. After that, $3.50 is added for the
number which the police supplied. When
one leaves the country the number is
taken away by the constabulary and sent
back to the State in which 1t was secured
and when one renters the country another
Hl1lDtI lilhol ON RuAAANPSit 4ht 49,
ficate holds good for as many days in Ger
many as have been paid for, but II expires
at the end of each year. Mr.. Back ad-
vlses any motorist going abroad TO have
his license countersigned by the consul OF
the country he intends to visit. This will
save a lot of tronhle and annoyance.
MIR. Back says that automobnes are stiil
a good deal OF a novelty In Denmark. and
that there are only Il few hundred in the
entire country. In Denmark motorists are
restricted entirely to the State roads and
no car can be driven over any but the
roads designated by the government.
Mr.. Back travelled more than two thod-
sand miles and never had to stop ven fot
Il puncture. He said that he had more
trouble on his return at the United States
custom house, because OF their red tapC
methods. than any place IN Europe. HC
suggests to motorists that they have an
invoice made out for their car on the Othcl
side to show that it is clear. or they viii
have to give n bond to that effect on their
arrival on this side.

It's all right to pose as upholders Ct
the law, but men sometimes take Il posi-
ton which they fail TO uphold. Late re-
ports have told OF many a prominent man
who has been taken up for speeding.
William h. Vanderbilt. IT,, a. II. Parding-
ton and many more, and also a member Of
the New Jersey commission. were all
among theSlate sufferers. Whether they
were di~sobeying the laws or were not,
these gentlemen paid their fines. The So
called speed madness is not speed mad
ness at all. The laws are wrong, for they
should allow for safe speed at any point
and punish only when the drivers operate
dangerously. There are districts where forty
miles an hour may be safe. others where
eight miles an hour is unsafe. Laws mean
little except persecution on the part of
the bicycle policeman, who must make a
Showing or lose his job. The man go
Ing at Il moderate gait is easy to catch.
The man at great speed is not so easy,
The real speed violators are seldom appre-
hended. for they 20 too fast. The men
who really attempt 10 obey the law are
likely to lnd a policeman at their side
forthwith. making inquiry as to their
health and also as to their hurry. The
breaker OF the law went far too fast; the
slower man also broke the law, but the
latter got it, and he suffers. Such is
the way Of the world where automobilists
are concerned.

Medicine of Bamboo Sap.

In India the sap of the female BAN.
boo is used for medicinal purposes.
"Tabasheer," or "b%anslochan," is sold
in all Indian bazars, as it has been
known from the earliest times as a
medicinal agent. 1t is also known in
Borneo and was an article of com.
merce, with early Arab traders of the
east. It's properties are said to be
Strengthening, tonic and cooling. II
has been analysed and has been
shown to consist almost entirely OF
silica, with traces of lime and pot.
ash. From it's remarkable occurrence
in the hollows Of bamboos the eastern
mind has long associated it with mir
aculous powers.

the fact that Norfolk is booming. On
