Patrol, and Jarrett Huddleston, Cobra"
Patrol, told how 1t feels to eat Thanks
giving dinner out of baskets by a strange
roadside. and how they had lost and re-
gained the road at different times or
taken shortcuts that only prove the old
adage that 1.-The longest way round Is the
shortest way home"
Albert NJ. Chesley. director Of the boys
department., and William Knowles Cooper,
general secretary, Y. NJ. C. A., spoke to
the boys.

SPEEDOMETERS ARE BAD.
POLICEMEN IN QUANDARY
Motorists Wondering if They Have
Any Equity in Fines They
Have Paid.

Automobiles who have been forced to
pay speed fines in the Police Court on the
basis Of evidence furnished by the speed
ometers cherished by bicycle policemen
are nightly interested in recent OFFICIAL
tests which showed that eighteen of these
instruments were out Of order. They are
wondering whether they still have any
equity in the real money they contributed
to the support of the District government.
The tests were made last Wednesday
at 18th street and Columbia road. Fifty
speedometers were found to be o. K.
and eighteen otherwise. At present, as a
result of the discovery Of the out-of-order
instruments, some bicycle policemen are
riding around town with no speedometers
on their wheels. They feel sort of handi.
capped when they think Of possible ar
rests of hustling motorists and the neces-
sity they'd be under of trying to approx.
mate the speed rate.
1t is also Of interest that many of the
bicycle policemen found it mighty diff
fcult proposition to maintain a speed Of
twenty miles an hour for quarter Of a
mile. Motorists who have been charged
with chasing along at umpteen miles an
hour on the evidence OF chasing police
man and his speedometer say they intend
to remember this in the event of further
trouble.

TO USE GASOLINE MOTORS.
Southern Railway Plans for Some of

The Southern Railway Company, which
has been planning to use gasoline motor
cars on a number Of its smaller branches,
will place the first one In service tomor-
row upon one of Its lines in North Caro-
lima. The company has had orders in the
factory for six of these motors for about
a year. it is stated. and the one to be
placed on the North Carolina line is the
first one delivered. The company has been
operating an electric motor car on this
line for several months.
It is problematical, railway officials say,
when the new motor cars will be deliv-
cred, and as yet no plans as to where
they will be used have been completed.
It is possible that one may be put in
service on the Bluemont branch Of the
Southern, between this city and Blue
mont. Va. to run in connection with the
steam trains, but nothing definite re-
garding this has been agreed upon by the
officials of the railroad.
