CIRCULAR ON
TRAFFIC LAW

The Bridgeton police department has
received from Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles William L. Dill an official
circular concerning the new traffic law
which is@ now in effect in New Jersey.
The salient features of the circular are
pointed out as follows:
1.-THE act gives the inspectors of the
motor vehicle department the same au-
thority as the police in regulating
traffic, and the inspectors will be re-
quired to cooperate with the different
authorities in their district.
''The department desires to call the
attention of the inspectors to the fact
that the act defines the right of way,
inasmuch as a driver approaching an
intersection of street or public road
shall grant the right of way, to We
icle approaching on his right; requires
bicycles TO have an audible signal and
a light at night; requires drivers in
slowing or stopping to raise whip or
! hand; requires driver to stop when
whistle is blown by an officer; au-
thorizes police officers or inspectors of
motor vehicles to arrest, without war
rant, any person violating any provi-
Sions of the act.
''The officer, upon satisfying himself
that the offender is resident of this
State may, instead of arresting such
offender, issue summons in the name
of any police court for mis- appearance
at later date. The act also gives the
commissioner of motor vehicles powers
of magistrate to determine any vio-
lations of the act."

BRIDGEToN, N. j. THURSDAY. MAY l3, 1915
1850. 1000
CARS IN U. S.

AT the present time there are about
100000 automobiles and trucks in
the United States. At best the figure
is but the result of a consensus of
opinion among automobile men, but
it is as nearly accurate as the census
figures. The value of these automo-
blles and trucks, again roughly esti-
mated, is about $2,100,000, In
France, which is credited with having
the most superb system of roads in
the world, built at a cost of $685., ,000,-
600, a great International Road Con-
gress was sanctioned by the French
Government and held at Paris in Oc-
tober, 1908. So great were the effects
OF motor traffic on roads built solely
with view to withstanding horse and
wagon traffic that the purpose of the
meeting was announced to be "The
Adaptation of Roads to the Modern
Methods of Locomotion."
In the United States the problem is
yet a vital one only near the great
centres of population, for the reason
that but small percentage of the to-
tai mileage of roads is improved and
the motor traffic is mainly confined to
small areas of country. But the prob
lem is becoming more important with
the constantly increasing use of the
automobile, and the government is
viewing the subject progressively.
There is no doubt that motor traf-
fic rapidly is replacing horse traffic
and the roads of the present and the
future must be constructed with q
view to withstanding this particular
kind of traffic The government has
1 sign1fed its approval of the modern
method of transportation not only by
pointing out the need for improving
roads so that they will withstand mo-
tor traffic, but by buying motor trucks
to carry mail and transport the huge
loads of money from the bureau ot
lengraving and printing to the Treas
uylh Motor trucks are being installed
by the government as fast as practica

| Largely through the influence of Di
| rector Pages hostile sentiment toward
the automobile in the rural sections is
gradually giving place to a more
! friendly attitude.

COMMUNITY
SPIRIT AL WAYS

Abraham Lincoln once said: II like
to see man proud of the place in
which he lives"
Here in one simple sentence is ex-
pressed the very basis of community
spirit so necessary to the proper up
building of prosperous town or city
No city can attain to it's full strength
and influence except by the united eff
forts of it's people
A Texas philosopher said recently:
Zone touch of enthusiasm makes a
whole town move"
Enthusiasm is a moving power, but
back of this there must be an inspir-
ing knowledge of your city and its
accomplishments and potentialities.
Bridgeton is blessed in the fact that
its big men in public and industrial
life are always to be found in the
forefront of every movement for the
enlargement and betterment of the
community. But it is a question if
the city as a whole has come to real
ize and practice real community CO.
operation.
True civic loyalty does not mean
merely oral boosting and the constant
reiteration and narration of facts and
conditions refecting creditably upon
the city. 1t has a more significant
phase.
1t means the setting aside of al
petty feelings and personalities and
entering into the work for the city's
interests actively and unreservedly
The man who does not buy in Bridge
ton has not the welfare of the city al
heart and has no claim upon part Of
its progress and prosperity.

NO TROUBLE
WITH SMOKE

Pittsburgh, May 10-Even under the
partial restoration of industrial ac-
tivity due chiefly to large war orders
from Europe, factories here are run
ming at much less than normal, and
Pittsburgh business men still realize
the appropriateness of a letter writ
ten recently by E. E. Gregg, of the
Federal Lumber Company, to the Out
look on the High Cost of Smoke. "
The Outlook had published an article
showing the injurious effects of smoke
and Gregg made this a subject for
comment in which he said:
Nothing like this is happening now,
due to the fact that there is no smoke
IN Plttsburg, and has not been since
March 4, 1913. Your article, applied
to conditions under the reign of the
G.. o. p, was very apropos. In those
times smoke was issuing from every
stack, pay-rolls were averaging ap-
proximately sixteen million dollars
every two weeks, and, while the smoke
may have been detrimental in some
respects, yet, we were enjoying the
benefit of these pay-rolls.
Now. however, as always under
Democratic misrule, we have neither
smoke nor pay-rolls. True, the war
is making some business, without
which Pittsburgh would look like a
whitewashed cemetery. Give us smoke
We can erect new buildings if we
have the pay-rolls."

FRIENDS AND FOES
PROBE HORNS PAST
Secret Service Men and German
Sympathizers Here Busy in
Dynamite Case.

Prince Wilhelm Won Hatfield, hrs'
secretary of the German Embassy, who
il is understood, has taken up the
Werner Van Horn case with the State
Department in Washington, yesterday
requested the local German Consul
General TO gather all data about the
Ravarian military officer who is held
in Vanceboro on the charge of having
attempted TO blow up the Canadian
Pacific Railroad bridge across the ST.
CroiX River.
But agents of the German Consulate
ar. not the only ones interested in Van
Horns past. Agents of the Depart
ment of Justice, il was learned yester-
dav searched the effects Van Horn LETT

almost a month previous to his de-
narture for Vanceboro. package
whose contents the Secret Service
agents carefully conceal ed was TAKEN

documentary evidence was procure9f
which NAV lead to the implication OF
others with whom Van Horn may have
been conspiring. I
Az tne nOltl IL "eS oNNN
that while Van Horn never had any
callers, he received many telephone
messages, after whose receipt ne went
awav sometimes for days at a time.
Federal agents are now trying to trace
~. source OF some Of these calls, as
II is believed that Van Horn was the
centre of a group Of patriotic Germans
and German sympathizers VINO tr!ea
10 do on their own initiative what Ter
man diplomatic overtures IN TINS couh-
try failed to achieve. ~
Besides telegraphing to the German
in Washington asking MIN
for Legal assistance, Van Horn also re-
ou.sted an official of the German Con-
suIate in this city to look after ms
baggage. Il was learned yesterday that
Van Horn is by no means the poor man
he was said TO be. The fact that ne sent
70 a friend in this city an order for
the withdrawal of money from local
hank disclosed the fact that ne is sup
plied with abundant funds.
Van Horns friends in this city point

NO, they are not dead" said the
dancer. They are right here above

Miss Henrietta Rodman came hastily
to the rescue by reading the petition
again.

Miss Duncan.
"You can't demand anything when

United States and Canada, so II the
Canadian authorities prove that van

ds,ion for eXtradition would probably
be made by the United States commis,
sioner. This will have TO be approved
at the State Department, where the
cas-. will finally be decided, as the con-
nection of the criminal onences
enumerated in the treaty and acts COM
mitted during time OF war is one re-
ouiring definition here.
While the German Embassy has not
announced whether or not it will in
torcede formally on behalf Of Van Horn,
Prinz Hatdfeld, OF the Embassy staff,
;nouired at the State Department to-
day for information in the case.
