W. Give Crosby, vice-president Of the
New Jersey Automobile and Motor
Club, had an experience with a New
Jersey justice of the peace recently
while driving along the White Horse
pike between Hammondton and Attain
tic City, thai shows how ignorant some
Of these country officials are Of the pro-
visions of the F,relinghuysen law, which
they are supposed to administer. Mr..
Crosby was held UP for alleged speeding
ON q straight road where there were
only i've houses in some
miles, and taken before his honor, VINO
Immediately imposed a fine OF 80 and
costs upon the testimony of an indi-
vidual who stands in h road and
times a car from guessworS, basing the
time on what he thinks was the mo-
ment the car passed q certain telegraph
pole some distance up the road. Mr..
Crosby, Of course, appealed from the
decision and offered to sign a bond,
Here is where the joke comes in on the
justice, who did not know how to make
out the necessary papers and was very
glad to get out Of the predicament by
Diminishing the case. He had become so
accustomed to having the motorists
pay up without question that when a
fight was made he was all at sea.
A. P. Heyer, of Montclair; C. W.
Hunter, with his wife and daughter;
Miss Georgia Harrison and Edgar WILL
Jams, Of Caldwell, have just completed
an interesting two weeks auto trip
through the Adirondacks in a 50-horse-
power Thomas, going over almost the
same roads that they traversed last
year on a similar trip. When near
Lake Pleasant they ran into the fringe
of the forest fires that were Their raging
In the Adirondacks, and for about two
miles had a very exciting time of 1t,
the ashes being very thick on the road
way. They had no tire trouble during
the entire trip. and found the roads
unusually good, especially the stretch
!, of State road between Albany and
Schenectady, which is kept in magnif-
cent repair and is we'll oiled. While In
the heart of the woods the party en-
countered a host of surveyors laying
out a new State road between North
vile and Indian Lakes, which will be a
boon to motorists touring this section
next summer. The very noticeable
thing this rear was the entire absence
, of speed traps. which were an extreme
ly annoying feature of the trip last
year.

! John A. Hill, of so Mum avenue
!. East Orange, has ju.. returned from {
! long trip through the West in his 40
: horsepower Oldsmobile. He found thu
roads very dusty from the dry weather
especially The traversing Iowa, where
the highways have been allowed to fal
4 into bad repair, and ruts were encoun
tered frequently. In Colorado the go
: ing was better, and, taken altogether
the trip was successful and enjoyabl.
Il in every way.
