Mount Holly Picnic.
Covers Much. Mileage.

Horace l.. johnson, special cOnsta-
BILE, now knows why it requires so
many automobile tires to keep his
machine travelling. 1t is because of
the hard usage to which the machine
is put in travelling long distances and
over all sorts Of roads and by-paths
in performing his duties as prohibi-
ton officer. Constable Johnson kept
a record duringil gilJuly of the mileage
that he covered during that month in
the performance of his duties. The
total distance Travelled by auto was
about $3.50 miles. A new set of tires is
required for the machine about every
two months.
