NEW YORK.-Hot weather has
increased the consumption of beer
in New York, and added to tue
troubles Of saloonkeepers, who now
giving thanks to the repeal last
spring of the state enforcement law
dispense beer to all corners.
These troubles used to include a
dread OF the police. Now the police
and the chief worry concerns hi
jackers."
Sorry, no beer todayl" Is the FREE
duent announcement from the bar
tender, who explains that a motor
truck train of beer has just been
held up by "hi-jackers," the holdup
men who prey upon rum runners.
The last big job diverted $50 kegs OF
beer from the intended destination,

going crowds to pass to the right.
Yet even OFT OF ten persons go to

The oldest farm house in New
York is at broadway and 2O4th

The easiest way to get lost IN

town. -.
The Man Who Doesn't Know New

taking the express. If he doesnt
know enough to change at Canai

change at Canal street he'll probably
get lost trying to find his way in ana

level of that maddening station.
It's like the catacombs OF Rome

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
After reading in last nights issue
of the Perth Amboy Evening New
he sad ccou of the automobile
accident that occurred Tuesday
evening, August 7th, at Wood
bridge, New Jersey. I feel quite
certain that a few lines in regards
to the SUPP 4 Gil Use of said ac-
cident might prevent, a repetition
of same.
Just how long a driving of an au-
tomobile with but one headlight
burning will be permitted, puzzles
me. Only last evening during the
course of a ten minute walk along
Smith street and through Madison
avenue I counted six automobiles
with but one headlight burning.
Mr.. Moore. the unfortunate VIC
tim Of the automobile crash &C
woodbridge paid his taxes as well az
you and / for police protection ON
the highways as well as everywhere
else. Were 1t not for the depart
enforcement Of this ordinances. he
most probably would be at home
with his wife and family today.
I might add that upon reaching
Madison avenue and Smith street
last evening I watched the trafic
officer stationed there, halt trafhc
on Madison venue to allow Smith
street traffic the right of way. The
first automobile in the line OF halted
traflc had but one headlight burn
Ing and glaring directly In the face
of the traffic officer. waited a Few
moments and was dumb founded
upon watching this automobile pass
the trafac officer without the chauf-
feur being given as little as a rep
rimand.
Hoping that these few lines
might remedy the conditions exist
ing at the present time.
Very respectfully,
