wood" and IF your heart keeps right, I"
two of the favorite songs of the recen

st. Andrew s choir boys under the leader
ship Of Mr.. Marshall.

Club rendered another selection, DE |
Brewers Big Hosses, and with the auto /
horns, whistle and drum, caused those
who had heard it sung at the tabernacle
IN Philadelphia to say that they had
nothing on the Glee Club. One re-
mark was made to the effect that if

to travel with the evangelist.

The Automobile Question.

At the meeting of the township com
mittee Tuesday evening Anderson
Shinn, inspector Of automobiles, wa,
present on the invitation Of chief ol
police Prickttt, who wanted to havg
some sort Of information respecting the
attitude Of the state department with
reference to fast driving and other in.
fractions of the law. Some time ago the
chief of police received a letter from
Commissioner Lippincott stating that in
1914 only $3.50 had been collected in
fines in this county and that sam came
from Bridgeboro. The Commissioner
seemed to think that meant lack Of
vigilance on the part Of the authorities
as it was not at all probable that there
was not fast driving and other infrac-
tions of the law In various parts Of the
county.
Recorder Herbert, of Mount Holly,
took the opposite view OF the matter.
He thought the fact that few fines were
imposed in Mount Holly was because
the police were SO alert that the drivers
were on the lookout for them. 1t was
also shown that one case was reported to
the state department where it was proved
that the driver of an auto not only ex-
ceeded the speed limit, but was under
the influence of liquor while driving,
yet nothing was done.
The result Of the conference was a
promise that the state department would
send inspectors here occasionally and

Steps are being taken in Philadelphia
to mark points of interest in the early
history of the city. There are many
places in Mount Holly which might

memory, and relic of those days in the

for chopping block. Troops were quar-

new ENGLAND PRISONERS
WORK ON STATE ROADS

New England prisoners have been
worked on the roads for the first time
in Cumberland county Me-" stated
John G. Scates. secretary-treasurer OF
the Maine Automobile Association,
"and the success of the work should
receive the thoughtful attention OF
the State and county officials Of New
England.
"An average OF 40 prisoners are
worked from central camp. The
road construction is under the super
vision of the State Highway Depart
ment, but the care. custody. disci-
pline and feeding OF the prisoners, Is
under the direction Of the sheriff and
county commissioners This co-ordina-
tion OF the highway and prison de-
partments Is in accord with the rec
concentrations made by the National
Committee IN Prisons and Prison La
Dor TO the Maine Automobile Associa-
tion which fathered the necessary
legislation.
"The construction work is on the
State road to White Mountains. about
20 miles from the jail at Portland.
On a knoll the prisoners erected
camp large enough for 40 single
spring beds with a wardrobe room at
one end. The men undress in this
room and put on their clean mites"
and hang their clothing on individ-
ual hooks; then the door to this room
is locked If man should escape in
the night all he would have to wear
would be a cotton night shirt.

PAIGE SALES MANAGER
makes LEISURE TOUR
Drives For Rest, Not TO
Make Any Speed
Records

Henry Khrohn. sales manager Of
the Paige Detroit Motor Car Co., De-
troit. Mich. is back from a tour that
is very different from the average
tour of an automobile man.
Mr. krohn did not make an attempt
20 creasc speed ,e7eiCs ficm place TO
place neither did he try TO climb all
the hills on high gear or to use as
little gasoline as possible in his Paige
eix-46.
The single i0ea in the mind Of Mr..
Krohn when he left Detroit was to
rest from a year Of exhausting work
directing his extensive sales organi-
zation.
Accompanied by his family Mr.
Krohn just ambled along at a COM
Portable pace that enabled him to see
everything of interest along the route.
In a trip Of ten days. total dis
tance Of somewhat over 500 miles
was covered or an average of about
SO miles per day.
In cities or towns where Paige dis
tributors were located, stops we're
made 10 have chat about things in
general. The nearest Mr.. Krohn got
to talking business was in telling
about the extensive plans for devel-
opment that were under way.
Mr.. krohn statede THE new addi-
tion 10 our factory is being rushed
to completion We expect to be in
full operation by November The
addition OF $4,000 square feet of floor
space with added equipment and inn
proved methods will enable us to

that we will be able 10 meet about 81
per cent. of the demand made by our
dealers.

FRANMaN CAR IN DEMAND.

Indicative of the business activity
that has marked conditions recently
is the sales record Of the Franklin
Automobile Co., Syracuse, N. Y. It's
report for the months Of July and
August of this year shows an increase
of 81 per cent. over the same period
last year Despite a larger produc-
ton designed to take care of the
greater demand presaged by the sum-
mer's business during 1914, the
Franklin Co. finds its increased 1915
output short of the orders received by
an amount exceeding last years. This
upward movement during the summer
months is typical of the change in
automobile buying from one OF sea-
sons to an all-year proposition.
