i when discovered for the firemen to
do much with it. Finally the walls
fell out and the fire, after four
hours, was reduced to o pile of
smoking timbers. The house was a
three story affair of wood. 1t had
a high tower in the center.
Due to its prominent position on
the river bank and to the striking
landscape gardening of the place
the house was noticed by every pas
! senger on the river steamboats,.
For two years two great butterflies
in red were devised in flowers by
the head gardener.
Several firemen were either over
come by smoke or heat and one
was badly injured. He was Arthur
Cramer, of Laurel street, a mem
Der of Hope Hose Company No. 2.
He stepped ON an upturned burnt
board with a nail p%rotruding which
he ran clear through his foot. Some
time was occupied in removing the
board and nail after which he was
taken to his home.
The Grubbs mansion was built
prior tt the Civil War. 1t was the
center of many distinguished social
and military gatherings throughout
that struggle and thereafter for
many years it was the scene of the
annual reunion of "Grubb's Game
Chickens" otherwise the Twenty
third New Jersey Regiment.
General Grubb was appointed
Minister to Spain under the Harri-
son administration. He created a
sensation in the Spanish diplomatic
circles when he presented himself
at Madrid CARRIED in the uniform of
the First City Troop, of which he
was at that time a colonel.
Title TO the Grubb mansion was
acquired in 1917 by Blair Ferguson,
of the River Bank. In 1921 he sold
it to Samuel Levin, a Philadelphia
real estate operator. Levin told
townsfolk he intended to fit up the
place as a hotel, and he is said to
have visited the building Saturday
afternoon. Some alterations had
been made. The entire structure
was rebuilt a few years ago.
According to firemen, a quantity
of chemicals for gas making pur-
poses, and some gasoline were
stored in one of the wings. 1t is
thought the fire started hehe, but
it was impossible to tell definitely.
BY the time neighbors noticed the
flames the entire interior was
aflame.

FIRE DESTROYED OLD GRUBB
MANSION AT EDGEWATER PARK
Massive Chimneys Collapse In $4,000 Blaze
Sunday Night. Authorities Investigating
= Cause OF Fire. Thousands Witness
Spectacular Blaze.

Volunteer firemen of Burlington
County were a sleepy lot on Mon
day following hours of work at the
fire Sunday night which destroyed
the historic home of the late Gem
eral E. Burd Grub, at Edgewater
Park. F.
The mansion, probably the best
known on the river front, was de-
liberately set afire, the authorities
: believe. The loss is estimated var
iously, but $4,000 is a conservative
figure.
Although the Grubb mansion was
a considerable distance from its
neighbors, the firemen feared for a
time lest the nearest two houses be
endangered. On one side of the
Grubb place is the p~alatial home
Of Harry S. Ehret, "Pine Tops" on
the other, is the handsome new re-
sidence of George w. Rhawn.
The Grubb residence has been UNI
occupied for some time, having been
sold after the death of the old Civil
War general and minister to Spain.
For a time it was occupied as a tea
room conducted by the present own
er, A. R. Levin, Of Philadelphia.
1t was about to be remodeled as a
modern residence.
Firemen succeeded in saving the
Rhawn and Ehret mansions, but the
Grubb building, which contained
thirty-five rooms, was burned to the
ground. Four massive brick Chin
neys crashed through the blazing
timbers of the ancient structure and
sent a shower of sparks e a wide
radius.
The fire was discovered shortly
after 9 P. M. when flames were
see shooting out.
Beverly firemen were the first
at the scene and after them Bur-
lington, Delanco, Riverton, River
side, Palmyra, Mount Holly and
other companies came racing up.
Fully two thousand North Shore
residents drove there and cluttered
the roads for miles around. The fire
was visible beyond Bordentown at
the North and from M~erchantville
on the other side. The flames were
also visible from Torresdale. The
building was located at the edge of
the Delaware.
When the Beverly firemen broke
into the house they detected, they
said, the smell of gasoline, and that
fact is one of the grounds cited for
suspicion of incendiarism.
The fire had too great a Roadway

Setting Brakes
Helps in Pulling
Auto Out of Mud

Setting the emergency brake
helps. to get you out of the mud
This acts as a powerful drag on
the wheels which, balanced
against the full power Of the en-
gine, causes them to pull nightly
but so slowly that they do not
spin and therefore are less in
clined to slip.
A gravel or loose stone road is
not an aid to quick stopping. A
greater margin of safety should
always be allowed on such a road.
This means driving slower if un-
familiar with the territory and
keeping A safer distance behind
the car ahead.
The shock may be transmitted
to people sitting in the car if
mechanic in testing the plugs
happens to make h contact with
one hand while touching the car
with another. 1t all depends on
whether the passengers are touch
ing metal. The high-tension
shock may be harmful to an elder
ly person with a weak heart.

Thirty-two motor car and motor
bus lines are now operating between
the various towns OF the holy land.
Recently motor connections were es-
tablished between Haifa, Palestine's
principal seaport, and Bagdad, center
OF the near casts commercial activ-
Titles, which has opened this vast
hinterland for the sale of Palestinian
products, and has greatly stimulated
business in the holy land.
Because OF the cheap rates charged
by the motor lines for passenger and
freight service, and the .stiff COM
petition they offer to the railroads,
railroad fares have been greatly re-
duced in Palestine to meet the com
petition.
The ninety-one Jewish colonies of
Palestine, forty-one OF which owe
their development to the Palestine
Foundation Fund. are now all in easy
communication with the cities
through the motor lines and new
roads. thus affording them excellent
opportunities for the prompt dis
posal Of their products.

KEEP PRESSURE UNIFORM.

The motor1st who keeps a constant
pressure in his tires is the one who
gets the longest mileage, according
to J. h Diehl, vice president and sales
manager Of the aMson Tire and Rub
Der Company, Kent, Ohio.
Varying air pressure puts q very
definite limit on the life Of tire"
says Mr.. Diehl Even in balloon tires,
while a much lower pressure can be
used than in tires OF standard size,
this pressure should be kept uniform
and constant II you expect to act your
full quota Of mileage. Oversize cord
tires too, will take lower than stand
ard pressure. but here also b should
be Kept constant
Tn standard size tires" continues
Mr.. Diehl, "the pressure need not be
in so high as to make riding un-
comfortable. But it should bc high
enough to avoid breaking down the
sidewalks and. above all. should be
kept constant
1T is not a great deal OF trouble to
test the air in your tires once every
week or two and it will save lots Of
money for the motorist who does N."

"Cussedness" Also Held Respon.
sible for Violations.

Violations Of the rules of common
sense, common decency as well AS
persistent violations Of the laws Of
the state. in reference to the opera
tion of motor vehicles. are, in most
part, due to thoughtlessness on the
part of drivers, according to the be-
lief expressed by the Hoosier State
Automobile Association in a recent
bulletin.
Part of it is pure thoughtless-
ness" the bulletin says, land part
is pure cussedness, but together these
acts arc rolling up a storm cloud Of
Indignation on the part of the general
public against the operation Of motor
vehicles. The offenses arc usually
committed by small minority, but
this lawless minority is quite apt
to cause much trouble for the ma
jority as well.
"Friend at Court,
The Hoosier A A. points out in
its bulletin that this organization
has always been recognized as the
friend at court Of the motorist and
has succeeded in securing the pas
sage of many excellent good roads
ntlng every motorist.
I'VE hope to be able to keep up our
good work for all the motor car own

want to be able to present protective
bills and to oppose successfully bills
that will be burdensome and oppres-
sive. We can do this with the co-ope-
ration of motorits of Indiana, not alone
by their memberships in our organi-
cation but by these motorists just
resolving as individuals that they will
not be guilty Of thoughtless or willful
violations OF present laws or rules
of decent behaviors in the opera
ton OF their cars"
All Autoists Urged 10 Help.
In short, it is declared, the Hoosier
State Automobile Association wishes
to impress on every owner the neces-
sity Of law observance and greater
courtesy throughout the state. If
