GETTING AWAY
FROM THE CROWDS
Delightful Motor Trip Which
Carries One to the
Quieter Sections.

This Is the first of series of motor
tours suggested by the Michelin Guide
and Touring Bureau. Midtown, N. J..
1t takes the motorist over a section of
northern New Jerseys most picturesque
and interesting highways. incidentally
this excursion does not follow the usual
procedure OF choosing a road merely
because 1t is a road. On the contrary,
the selection is based upon features
scenic and educational with a thought
of the amount Of pleasure that the au-
tomobilist will obtain from studied
routing, instead of a mere haphazard
guessing that one has to do in following
the ordinary road map. 1t is supposed
that the average automobilist. when
visiting a strange part of the country,
has very little idea Of the attractions 1t
contains. But IL one has complete
map and understands little Of map
reading. he can almost compile his
itineraries as IL he were actually travel
ing on the ground at that time.
We suggest that In following the de-
tails given In the description the reader
consult the map shown above and note
the objects marked on the drawing.
Following these. 1t will be impossible to
go wrong.
Leaving Forty-second street we pro-
Seventy-second street. hit Riverside
Drive and continue north until DycSman
street ferry Is reached. Crossing ferry
to Englewood, our tour really COM
mences at this point. To New Workers
this ground Is no doub. familiar and no
difficulty will be experienced even If
the itinerary Is not followed. Proceed
ing from the pier at Englewood Cliffs
we follow the straight road to Engle-
wood, as our objective Is Hackensack.
After bearing left beyond the railroad
crossings in Englewood we turn right
and meet the Nyack road on which a
| turn left is made. We again bear eight,
| crossing railroad tracks. At this point
you will notice that circle surrounds
Roman numeral !. To those using a
Michelin map this Immediately indicates
| that an enlarged town plan of Hacken-
| sack which is given in the booklet at
| tached to each map. should be followed.
| Referring to the corresponding Roman
numeral on the enlarged town plan of
Hackensack one enters the city, passing
| over Hackensack River on Anderson
street to Passaic street. We turn on
| Passaic street and again see on the plan
! a Roman numeral VI, our exit from
Hackensack. We must turn to the rout-
| ing and locate the corresponding nu-
Haclensack, and proceeding towards
Paterson, and passing over the Saddle
River. we follow the trolley along Broad
way and West street.
| Ono does not usually connect beauti-
full scenery with cities, but short stop
| over will enable US to visit the Passaic
| Falls and to enjoy the view from the
! Passaic River bridge towards the north.
However, our tour Is limited to two
days only, we must get along. &c

ris Canal into Lincoln Park We are
now entering the hilly section Of New
Jersey with Hook Mountain on our left
and the Stony Brook and Turkey
Mountains toward the right Having
previously passed through parts of New
Jersey with no pretense of ruggedness
