Motors and Motorists

After all the protest and complaint,
there is to this very day no improve
ment in the much travelled road
through South Amboy, n. J. Condi-
tions are exceedingly bad, and the stra-
logically placed garage at the South
Amboy end of the long wooden bridge
from Perth Amboy ought to reap a
golden harvest if springs are carried as
the chief part of the repair stock
There isn't any choice between roads
going through South Amboy except,
perhaps, the "Hole-in-t the Wall" way
is little bit the worse, for one par
ticular reason. One motorist discov-
cred the reason on Saturday. Slowed
down to make his way along the rutted
road under the railroad tracks, he sud
denly found his engine splitting and
sputtering and eventually going dead.
When he got out to investigate~-for
he had tank full of gasolene when he
started-he found that lever on his
rear end tank had been turned by some
of the small boys who wait around
the entrance to the "hole," so that his
gas line was closed.
And to add to the annoyance of trAv-
elllng over one of the worst roads in
the State of New Jersey, no matter
which route is used going through
South Amboy, there are signs along
the highway to say: Speed Limit
Strictly Enforced. Slow down to II
miles an hour" AS if any one could or
would speed on such highways!

Nova Scotia Gives
Great Welcome to
Prince of Wales
Guns Roar a Greeting, Then
Crowds on Streets Show
Enthusiasm Visitor
Praises Their Part in War

HALIFAX, N. s., Aug. 18.-Cheered
by an enthusiastic crowd which fol-
lowed him through gayly decorated
streets throughout the day, the Prince
Of Wales paid his first visit to Nova
Scotia here to-day.
1t was the most strenuous day the
royal visitor has had since his arrival
in the new world, and, while he showed
some signs Of fatigue, he was more
than game at the finish, and bade the
city farewell with the same easy grace
with which he had greeted it. The
Prince landed at 10 a. m. and returned
to his battleship, the Renown, at 9
p. m.
A royal salute from the citadel
greeted the Prince when he debarked
from the battle cruiser Renown this
morning to be formally received by a
guard of honor from the Royal Ca
madam Garrison Artillery and escorted
to the Provincial Building.
AS he stepped off the marble slab
which marked the landing of the late
King Edward VII. the royal standard
was broken out from the landing stage
masthead. Premier Murray, Lieuten-
antGovernor Grant, officials of the
city and officers Of italian and French
warships greeted the royal visitor
The Prince, in his reply to addresses
made In behalf Of the provincial and
Halifax governments, referred to "the
modest part which l was able to play
in the great war"
~ can assure you that I value no
part of that experience so highly as
the close contact into which it brought
me with the splendid troops of all
ranks sent by the Dominion to France
he added.
In paying tribute to the services
rendered by Nova Scotia he recalled
the part which the province had played
in other historic struggles, asserting
that ain the last five years the people
of Nova Scotia have been called upon
to play their part in struggle Of
even greater magnitude, in which the
very existence Of the British Empire
was at stake"
Later the Prince presented fifty mill
tary medals, awarded for achievements
in the world war, at review of war
veterans, cadets and Boy Scouts.
