under arrest by Motorcycle Officer
Paul w. Layden on Amboy avenue,
shortly after midnight last night. in
connection with the theft of a WHY'S
Knight coupe, reported stolen from

torcycle cop" was first attracted by
the absence of lights on the shore
bound automobile, and when the car
was halted. he learned that the Ii
cense number corresponded with the
one sent out from local headquarters

rival of Sergeant Reitemeyer, who
brought them to Elizabeth police
headquarters.
1t is said, the girls told the police
that they had been out with the doc
tor, and after spending the early part
of the night with him, they suggest
ed taking another ride and when he
made known that he did not care for
another trip, told his companions
that the car was at their service.

LET'S ALL HEAVE TOGETHER

In the interests Of efficiency, good
government and economy the federal
post office department Is appealing
to the people of the country to get
their Christmas parcels moving
early. If this is done It will relieve
congestion in the mails.
While the people are bewailing tax
burdens they seem to forget their
share in keeping it down. 1t seems
a little thing, but the movement of
the United States mail entails mon
umental expense.
Holiday season mail, if congested,
causes untold additional expense.
Why not everybody get together on a
big heave and do each ones share
to minimize the congestion by shop
ping and mailing parcels early? 1t
would be Lard to calculate the saving
to the gov 1ernment-the taxpayer, if
this were done.

without a license, but since we were
