Twas there the frenzied man was seen
With hopeless, troubled face.
The stranger man would foin begons
From him of haggard eye:
Besides, the aisle was crowded with
The folks who would go by

: go chase thyself from me-
."Ah, SIR" the other man implored-
A woeful wight was he.
"A tortoise comb. pair of skates,
A whole carload of toys,
Some things beside for all my friends,
And for their girls ana boys.
And here 1 am; and l am here;
The things--oh, where are they?
For male and female clerks conspire
To hide from me the way.
But this l know, and this alone
Three aisles across then back
Four counters down, one counter up,
Then double on your track.
"rhe elevator takes you next,
To land you otherwheres,
And when you weary of It's crowd,
You amble down the stairs.
But still-but still, my honest friend,
You do not reach the goal.
'Tis always 'on the other side,'
1t is, upon my soul!
80 here am l, and I am here.
And you are standing by.
i care not where the things may be,
But where the deuce am II"
They led him to an ambulance,
Although he did resist,
And now in padded cell he cons
His Christmas shopping list
He shrieks upon the midnight clear.
And on the MONDAY air:
"Three aisles across, two counters back,
Then up and down the stair!''
Oh. foolish men, take heed OF this.
Before you go to shop.
And when you reach the outer door.
Tear up your list and stop.

Thirty : six Passenger and
Thirty-twO Commercial Cars
Get Places.

Posters advertising the forthcoming
show of the National Association of Auto
mobile Manufacturers In the new Grand
Central Palace. january 10 TO II, are max.
lug their appearance In the windows of
salesrooms along New York's Automobile
Row. The original Of the poster was
painted by A. T, Merrick, the well-known
Illustrator. of this city. The picture Is
that of a manly youth, seated at the wheel
of a car. The goggles worn by. the youth
are pushed mp on his forehead, and the
artist has extended the straps OF the
koggies SO that they run into aud be.
come a part of the wings on the head OF
the youth In the picture.
1he show committee of Inc National
Association of Automobile Manufacturers
and s.. A. Miles, manager of the Palace
exhibition. have allotted spaces to thirty
six firms that will display passenger cars
and to thirty4two concerns that will ex-
hihit commercial vehicles, while SO far
the accessory exhibitors total hfty-eight.
The majority of both the passenger ears
and commercial vehicles to be shown VIII
have gasoline engines. but there will also
he a number of each kind that VIII nave
electric motors.
One Of the features of the exhibition in
the new fireproof Palace in Lexington ave
nue., Forty-sixth and Forty-seyenth streets,
will be the number of medium-priced gaso-
line cars suitable for use by travelling men,
collectors, physicians and others who need
light, serviceable vehicles to be used IN
place of trolley cars and horse-draWn We
hicles. Many of the manufacturers whose
cars will be shown In the Grand Central
Palace have made special plans TO cater
to this rapidly growing class of motor We
hicle users.
Motorists who will be in the market for
the more elaborate types of cars Will ma
many enclosed body vehicles. of both gas
cline and electric power varieties. Many
of the exhibitors will have very fine Inn
CUISINE and landaulet bodies mounted on
some of the Glasses they will exhibit, and
the man or woman who prefers to dis
pense with a chauffeur will find many
cars with inside drive from which to make
a selection.

Joint Committee Working to
Place New Jersey in Line
With Rest of Country.

The income from the licenses taken out
by the tourists that come to New Jer-
sey is but Il small part of the cost of road
repairs, but IS held ont as one reason for
the present idea of New Jersey reciprocity.
Other States are able to maintain good
roads without the strict laws in regard
to visiting motorists.
The Indiana registration of life licenses
at 81 is considered in this Western state
as sufficient, and the clubs of that State
furnish road drags To the road supervisors
and IN other ways assist in the main
tenance of good highways. The motorists
of Indiana are welcomed by Michigan,
Iowa and several other States on the
strength of this extremely low-prieed
license.
Not only do the individual motorists of
other States shun New Jersey, but the
touring clubs seldom this State
as desirable for pleasure trips.
The merchants of New Jersey and the
shore resorts lose thousands upon thou
sands OF dollars each year ON account OF
the present laws, which the joint COM
mittee will endeavor to change.
The motorists have been the cause of
multiplying the value of suburban prop
erty In New York State and many other
sections of the country. The New Jersey
help their land when tourists shun the
state because of the present requirements
Of the automobile laws regarding regis
1t is doubtful if any notice sent out by
the New Jersey and Motor
Club has served lis purpose any better
than the one recently mailed to its mem
bers in the interest of reciprocity.
1t calls attention to the joint legisla-
tive committee of the automobilists OF
New Jersey, the committee that has full
power to take charge of the proposed
automobile legislation this winter in the
interest of all motorists, irrespective OF
club Affiliations.
The joint committee is composed of five
Representatives from the New Jersey
Automobile Trade Association, five repre-
sentatives from the Associated Automo-
bile Clubs of New Jersey aud five repre-
sentatives from the New Jersey Antomo-
bile and Motor Club.
That this committee will do good work

Motorists Want Real Reciprocity

there is no doubt. The men thai compose
this committee are hustlers and 1t seems
to be the general opinion that they are
working along the best lines.
They are giving out verXJlittle informa-
ton as to their plans, but when they are
through their work the state of New
Jersey will undoubtedly be brought back
the automobile union"
Judging from the ommen heard in
automobile circles, 1t is not the question
of he business of reciprocity, but the
the reciprocity of New Jersey or the
reciprocity laws of the other States
throughout the country.
Many of the local motorists cannot
and all the others in error on the ques-
ton of reciprocity when the laws of the
majority seem to be perfectly satisfactory
In the respective States.
to a merchant who would charge an adj
mission fee to his store to pay for the
wear on the floor and fixtures of his
establishment. To sign power of attorney
to some seems almost insulting, and that
alone keeps many tourists from the State.
The feeling against New Jersey auto
laws Is as strong outside the boundary of
the State as II Is within. Most any New
Jersey tourist will make that statement
If he has travelled far from his home and
talked reciprocity with motorists of other
States. There have been cases where New
Jersey motorists would not willingly ad-
nit that they came from this State when
talking reciprocity with ~autoists OF other
States.
The fight for a fair reciprocity is on,
and II il the desire Of New Jersey as a
whole, merchants In all sections, hotel
keepers, and ever farmers, that the ener,
getic workers on the joint committee VIII
successfully accomplish their ends.
Motoring has the following to say in
regard to reciprocity: Lets free New
Jersey from its present automobile law
stigma. Our State has been disgraced long
enough by the cent-wise and dollar-foolsh
alleged reciprocity. 1t has come to such
q pass that the average Jersey motorist
feels constrained to register his name,
when out of the State, as coming from
some other part of the country than his
own State. The hotel registers all over
the country hear evidence of this fact.
The general opinion is that New Jersey
must get in line with the rest of the coun-
try If the motoring and business interests
are to boom as they should. The sooner
this Is brought about the better New Jer-
sey will stand In the eyes of her sister
States.
