SO many motorists who like to 60
| away for the weekend during the fall
months are so undecided where to 60
that the Bureau Of Tours of the Auto.
mobile Club of America suggests a
weekend to the Delaware Water Gap
which is a delightful place, as the air
Is clear and balmy and the variegated
colorings of the foliage, not only in
the Kittatinny Mountains and through
the Gap, but all along the hillsides on
the way, are beautiful.
The shortest and best way to reach
the Delaware Water Gap is via Mont
clair. Take the most convenient ferry
out Of New York and run to Newark
then via Bloomfield Avenue to Mont
clair. Motorists crossing the uptown
ferries will find an excellent way to
reach Montclair is to run to Hacken-
sack, then out Essex Street into Market
street, Paterson, here turn left into
Nam Street and at hospital take sharp
right between stores on a narrow cob
blestone street and about one block
beyond cross canal and railroad enter
ing the Valley Road, which is one of
the finest throughfares in New Jersey
and which takes one to the center Of
Montclair. From Montclair the route
continues west on Bloomfield Avenue
through Caldwell, Franklin. Parsip-
pany, Denville and Rockaway to Dover,
then through Mine Hill and Kenvil to
Ledgewood.
Just beyond Ledgewood there is a
sharp turn under the railroad, leaving
the new concrete road which goes on
to Lake Hopa tcong, and the route con-
tlnues through Netcong, Stanhope,
Cranberry Lake, Andover and Spring
dale to Newton, then runs due north to
prominent four corners, where a left
turn is made, going through Augusta,
B3ranchville, passing Culvers Lake,
through futile Corners and Layton,
crossing the Delaware River via toll
bridge to Dingmans, then continuing
south along the river through Egypt
Mills, Bushkill and Shawnee to the
delaware Water Gap. This route is
ninety-four miles from New York CITY.
There is a good alternate to the
above starting from Montclair by going
up the Pompton Turnpike, which starts
north from Bloomfield Avenue, just be-
yond the Mountain House, passing
COMPTON Lakes. Charlottesville, Stock
holm and Franklin Furnace to Sussex.
then south through Beemcrville to
branchvllle, where connections are
made with the above route. The lat
ter route is also very scenic route, as
II goes through very picturesque sec
ton and skirts the shores of number
of pretty lakes. There is also direct
connection to the latter route from Pat
erson, over the Hamburg Pike to
Pompton. Heretofore motorists pre-
ferrcd to go over the shortest route,
which is only eighty-five miles and
which goes through Morristown, then
over Schooley's Mountain, but as there
is SO much construction work going on
at the present time on this route the
longer routes are preferable. The fol-

Gains to Business and
Professions by Use of
Cars Shown by Eastman

Although September is usually
looked upon as a slack period BY tke
automobile industry in general the
last month has given every indication
of setting a record for good business
despite adverse conditions. The coal
and rail situation caused a slowing
down of production to a certain extent
Provisions were made to meet the fue!
shortage by many concerns, but UNI
foreseen circumstances added to the
burden.
Official figures, which arc being com
piled all over the country, will give a
pleasant surprise to those who were
inclined to view the outlook in rather
pessimestic light Estimates based on
first reports give promise that the
month will exceed the output of the
same period last year. This is said
30 be especially true of Enclosed
vehicles and trucks.
Dealers Express Joy
In the metropolitan district the
dealers are exhibiting the utmost
satisfaction. The success of the
night, exceeded ali expectation. The
interested exhibited by the public, the
enthusiasm over the new models and
the number of sales was highly graft
flying to all concerned in the show.
There is every reason to expect a
highly successful season during the
coming months, the dealers say. and
they are prepared to meet high in
crease in demand for this type of car.
e.,
through use of the autom obile, accord
ing to an analysis of the usefulness of
the automobile made by Lee J. East
man, president of the Packard Motor
Car Company of New York.
Facts Barred by Inquiry
Investigation by the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce shows
the following interesting figures:
Bankers and manufacturers have
their efficiency increased 33 per cent
by use of the automobile; contractors,
81 per cent; farmers, 6S per cent;
school supervisors, IL per cent; clergy
men, 90 per cent; statesmen, 903 per
cent; doctors, 104 per cent; realestate
and insurance men, 113 per cent.
Testimony of cars owners obtained
by QUESTIONABLE shows:
Added productivity due to car use,
81 per cent; mileage used for bust
ness purposes, 60 per cent; percentage
of all cars used more or less for bust
ness, 90 per cent; amount of total
mileage used where there is no other
adequate communication, 81 per cent;
number of owners improving living
conditions through use of car (subur-
ban life, etc., 81 per cent.
The motor car as an economic neces-
sity has attained a position of inn
portance that places great response
blity on the men who are manufac-
turing and selling it to-day. They are
selling not a luxuary, but a vital need
of society-personal transportation
and it is toward the constant improve
ment and refinement of that service
that automotive engineers the world
over are constantly striving.

lowing work is in progress on the last
mentioned route to the Gap:
There is a detour between Madison
and Morristown, and one or two
short stretches from there on to
Schooley's Mountain. The road over
the mountain is not in very good con-
dition, either, at the present time. Con-
struction work is going on through
the main street of Hackettstown; in
tact, all the way to Great Meadows.
The road along the Musconetcong Val
ley, through Beattystown to Washing
ton, is now finished, and motorists can
60 that way by running to Washington,
where & right turn is made, and the
route continued via Oxford to Bridge
vile, then up the east side of the Del
aware River to the little town of Della
ware, where bridge is crossed and
the route continued up the west side
of the river to the Water Gan.
The longer way to the Gap, which is
125 miles, is exceedingly beautiful in
the fall, and starts from Hackensack,
going through Arcola, Hohokus, Ram
sey, Suffern, Tuxedo Southfeld, Harri-
man, Monroe, Chester and Goshen to
Mlddletown. There is construction work
on the Slate Hill Road, and the route
now used is from Middletown via Otis
vile and Charlottesville, thon down
the Navesink Valley to Port Jervis,
where the Delaware River is crossed
to Matamoras, and the Delaware River
followed on the west side through Mil
ford, Dingmans, Bushkill and Shawnee
to the Water Gap.
There is a large sign at Columbia
on the west side of the Delaware River

FROM FARMVILLE

Named Hedgepath Who
Resides in Farmville

and twelve year Of sons of Dave
Creech, who rs y n the Mrs.

two - s1.lf miles from Farm
ys,''s1s Sc killed this morning
So seven o clock when hit by
automobile driven
by a young man by the name Of
Hedgepath, who resides in the
same community. While only
one Of the children were killed
outright the other died few
minutes after he had been remov-
Ell fsroln the road to the home Of
his parents
The accident is one of the
most serious that has occurred in
the Farmville section in several
months and the entire community
was lleenly shocked at the details
Of the tragedy given out few
minutes later.
From all information that
could be received by telephone
this afternoon the killing of the
children was purely accidental.
;aey had gone to the farm Of
kinsey Heath, who resides only
4 short distance from the Creech
home, to help him put in tobacco.
They had not been at work very
long when the boys were given
charge Of a mule and tobacco
truck with which to haul a load
Of tobacco to barn.
AS they were going along the
side Of the road the car drove up
going in the direction Of Farm
vile. AS it drew nearer the
mule became frightened and
plunged across the road in front
Of the machine. The impact was
so forceful that one of the boys
was killed instantly. It was
thought the other might be saw,
ed. but he died short time after
reaching home.
The consensus of opinion pre-
vailing around Farmville this
afternoon seemed to be that the
accident could not be avoided.
Hedgepath, while running at a
comparatively fast rate. was not
driving tecklessly and made
every effort to stop his car in
time to prevent the accident.
The mule dashed across the
road SO suddenly, however, that
I'll effort to avert the crash were
ln vain.
