FrackviIie, Pa. July IS. 1922.
World records" In automobile races,
whether long distance or otherwise. are so
frequently upset and replaced by new fg-
ures that II Is not practicable to set them
down. and II would require more space than
the Peoples Forum has at Its disposal. The
printed record for a 500-mile speedway race
in a mon stock (racing) car was made by
a Peugeot car at Chicago June 20, 1918. The
machine was driven by Resta. who covered
the distance in 8 hours. 7 minutes and 20
seconds. On a circular dirt track at Column
bus. o.. a Mason Special racing car. driven
by Mulford. did 200 miles In hours. q

down as q record" May 80. 1921, in n 300
mile race. a Frontenac stock car. driven
by Milton. at Indianapolis. did the distance

bourg,. France,.on Saturday last. a Fiat stock
car, driven by Felix Nazzaro. won the Grand
Prix n ROAD race of about 500 miles. at an
average Of 70.4 an hour. breaking all French
records The runner-up. until motor trou-
Bile caused a temporary halt, was Fiat.
driven by Bordino. a rrotege OF Ralph de
Palma. Fiat cars predominated among the
leaders in the French classic which should
be a sufficient answer to the question whether
that machine Is ANY good" 1t Is not
within the province Of the Peoples Forum
to indicate the best machine Ralph de
Palma Is one Of the best auto drivers.

Defends New Jerseys Motor Code
To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledoert


To the Editor Of tho Evening Public Ledoers
Sir-The attention Of this depart.
ment has been called to an editorial
which appeared in your paper on July
10 under the caption Motor Reci-
procity."
Permit me to deny emphatically the
accuracy of the statement which says
There never was an attempt to deny
the limitless courtesy of Pennsylvania
roads to New Jersey automobile owners
until New Jersey authorities ignored an
almost universal principle of motor
reciprocity and put strict legal limit
on the use Of Pennsylvania tags on their
highways"
The fact is there are more Pennsyl-
vania machines operating over the New
Jersey highways in the southern por-
tions Of our State than there are New
Pennsylvania. When the Pennsylvania
registration law was pending at Har-.
risburg I filed protest with the Penn
sylvania Commissioners against the
provision Of your law which limited
reciprocity on commercial vehicles TO
only two trips weekly, in the aggregate
not exceeding fifteen trips annually, ana
asked that Pennsylvania recognize the
same reciprocal relations for trucks as
is now the law for passenger vehicles.
For some reason the Pennsylvania Leg
islature made the distinction noted
above and it is this distinction which
is now being enforced against the New
Jersey farmer who crosses the Dela-
ware with his little commercial vehicle.
In other words, your authorities are
hewing closely to the Interpretation OF
the Pennsylvania law. which requires
that commercial vehicles using the roads
of Pennsylvania must register therein
If more than one consecutive trip Is
made weekly.
Not only does Pennsylvania close the
doors to the commercial truck owners
of New Jersey, but likewise to the COM
mercial owners of every State In the
Union, and how you can justify the ac-
tivities of the Pennsylvania authorities
upon the grounds that 1t is one OF re-
prisal, when your law alone is resp0n-
sible for the protest on the part OF the
Jerseyite, is more than l can UNDER
stand.
TO the truck owner who makes daily
trips to Pennsylvania, or at very fire.
quent intervals. l say that he ought to
register his truck in your state. anu
thus contribute his pro rata share OF
the upkeep cost Of the roads, but l also
want to go on record as saying the Diff
fercntiation in your State between the
commercial truck and the passenger ve-
hicle is alone responsible for the pres
ent existing trouble, and ] trust that
when your Legislature again meets,
this distinction will be eliminated.
W. l.. DILL,
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, State
of NewNJersey.

 Insane at Time of Crime,

Philadelphia. Nov. 3.-Mrs. Catherine Roster was today acquitted of the charge of killing Mildred Geraldpe Reckitt, her husbands stenographer.
 The jury was out one hour and 1t minutes.
 Mrs. Roster is also charged with the shooting and killing of her husband, Oscar at the same time and is still to be tried on this charge. The double slay- ing occurred in the office of her husband's s advertising agency on January 21 last.

 The verdict of the jury was greeted with applause by the crowd in the room.
 Later District Attorney Rotan was sent for and after side bar conference he asked that the bill charging Mrs Roster with killing the husband be sub mitted, on the ground that if she was in sane when she shot Miss Reckitt she was in the same condition when she killed her husband. Judge Barratt agreed with this view and the jury was instructed to acquit her of the killing of her husband Mrs. Roster, who had returned to the room with her baby Richard in her arms was stormed by those eager to congratu-

LIST CF PARLIAMENTARY
 CANDIDATES PUBLIC TODAY

London, Nov. 3 (By the A. P.)-Ihe Lists of parliamentary candidates in the approaching elections, representing all the parties, were issued tonight for pub lication tomorrow. Altogether 1870 candidates hav,, been nominated dis lributed as follows: Conservatives, gen. r2Aily called unionists, 465 Asquithiar. or independent, liberals, 325 national, or Georgian, liberals, -l70 and laborit2s 4I1,
 i There may still be a few more nomi- -ations before the lists are made offl- ; c'al tomorrow, but they arc considered to be practically complete, and al , though there have been conflicting re- lrrLs on the subject today, apparently i NJ. Lloyd George has no intention Cr , carrying out his threat to nominate 3 , host of "carpet bagger" candidates .C oppose the conservatives. One such can [ didate was nominated today to oppost | Sir William Joynson-HiCks, the new SC , retary for overseas trade, but no oth-

 again has shown his superiority fr i electioneering tactics"
 ] The first actually elected members o i thc new parliament were announced to day. They are the three members fo
 the combined Scottish universities,
 two conservatives, Sir. Henry Craik ant Sir George Berry. and one national l;h eral, D. NJ. Cowan, who, being unop posed, were declared duly elected. An outstanding feature of they nom nations is the wholesale nature of tn contests between the conservatives an, coalition liberals and between the in dependent liberals and the la5urites There are very few labor candidates throughout the country, but will haS1 to fight for their seats, and in no les tran 190 constituencies liberals and la borites will. be fighting each other witt unionists waiting to take advantage 0 this split in the progressive vote, a the labor party still declines io agre to any accommodation with the libe7 ials. Thus. there will be an enormoa number of three cornered contest:

 A Caliph is to be chosen by the as- ,embly from the imperial family
 The assembly also decided that all treaties entered into by the Constantin- sble government since March Is, 1920, were null and void. The decision of the assembly followed by the proclamation of tt ntional holiday and the firing of a Ialuts of l01 guns.
 Notwithstanding the asscmblys decree, he sultan presided this afternoon at an extraordinary council of the ministers.

TO PERPETUATE MEMORY OF POET WILL CARLETON

Hillsdale, Mich, Nov. 3.-Further steps to make imperishable the memory of the late Will Carleton, Michigan's beloved poet, were taken here at the an nual business meeting of the Will -Carle- ton Memorial association. It was de- cided to place next year, during fitting ceremones, boulder on the site of "the old poor house." located near Mir. Carle- toms home a short distance from Hud- son, Mich, and which the poet described in his "Over the Hill to the Poorhouse !"
 A similar boulder was placed a year ago on the old honlstead where the poet was born. The boulder marking the spot was one upon which Carleton often had played as boy.
 Efforts to make the life and works oi the poet better s<nown to Michigan school children in the future also will be made twill Carleton Day" annually is celebrat. ed in Michlgans schools by legislative enactment, October 21 being set apart because it is the anniversary of the poets birth The Memorial association has several hundred members residing ir Michigan and other Middle Western ant EHeastern states.
