but those using it experienced none
of the pleasures of "joy ride" but
most of the sorrows.
The Pennsylvania road up the Della
ware has been stoned and oiled as
far as Point Pleasant, and the work
is under way through to Kintners-
vile. 1t will be completed this
year. The road is being widened at
many points, and with a good all
the-year-around surface, will be the
most attractive ride in this section
of the country. The road from New
Hope Southeasterly to Morrisville,
since being restoned and oiled, has
become so popular with AUTOMOBILE
istst that the traffic is becoming a
serious problem at times, especially
on hot evening. The Pennsylvania
side appears to be cooler than the
Jersey side, due largely to the fact
that the latee afternoon sun is en-
tirely off the Pennsylvania road but
shines on the Jersey road until it

Bucks County are in good condition.
the repair work being done early.
The concreting of the Doylestown-
Chalfont road is progressing nicely,
and 1t will be completed this Fall.
The detour has been placed in good
shape, excepting Immediately after
heavy rain. Travellers from New
Hope and Lambertville do not need
to use the detour, however. Those
going no farther than Chalfont will
do better to turn north and use the
New Galena road, while those going
to Lansdale or Norristown, or be-
yond, will save time by using other
perfectly good roads. The Welsh
road, from Willow Grove to Lans-
dale, is now eoncreted, or asphalt
treated all the way, affording
good thorougfare. The Hatboro-
iorsham-Ambler road crosses this
road, so that it can be used to reach
places beyond Chalfont, in Mont
gomery County, without going far
out Of the way.
The Schuylkill River can be cross
ed at Norristown, ON the railroad
bridge, which has been fixed up for
vehicular and foot traffic.A small
toll is charged, and traffic can only
go one way at the time, but is is
better than no crossing. The burn
ing of both the DeKalb and Ford
street bridges, between Norristown
and Bridgeport, left those places in
a bad way for few days until the
Reading Railway Company reiuven-
ated its old bridge, not much used
since other railroad structures were
built some years ago.

BIG ROAD IMPROVEMENTS MADE
In TWO COUNTIES this SUMMER

Good progress has been made il

Hunterdon and Bucks Counties tn,
past month, and before snow file,
travel will be generally good where
ever the stone roads 90.
! The new stone road from Ever
ittstown to Pittstown, Hunterdor
County, is being pushed rapidly, ane
will be completed this Fall. 1t will
open up an entirely new territory
and will form return circuit" fo,
the traveller who wants to see the
county. The route from Lambert.
vile and New Hope will be up the
river on the Pennsylvania side to
either Frenehtown or Milford, thence
to Evcrittstown, Pittstown and Gin
ton--all good road.
The Pennington Whitehouse road
will be completed within another
week, at most, the last stretch be-
tween Pennington and Pennington
Junction being scarified, and the oil
is at Pennington Junction ready to
apply. This road was in bad con
dition a long time, but has been re-
surfaced, and the completed part is
pretty good. 1t would be "a profit
able investment for the county to
give it another seal coat of oil this
year, as il would hold up better
during the next winter. 1t was a
lack of oil and stone for couple of
years that caused this and other
Hunterdon County roads to go to
pieces SO badly.
The Hunterdon County road from
Whitehouse to Oldwick has been re-
paired and oiled, so that it is in
fairly good condition. The Somer-
set County road, from the Lamington
River to Bedminster, which has been
oiled regularly, is in far better con
dition.
The new concrete road from
Whitehouse Eastward to North
Branch, is nearing completion and
will probably be open for traffic in
September. This will do away with
a lot of detouring in that section
Stone has been placed and the
road from Larisons Corner to Rea-
vile will be oiled shortly. This is
a township road.
The last section Of the Lambert
ville-Flemington road will be oileo
this week The section south Of thi,
city was oiled short time ago.
Repairs are bing made and oil ap
piled to the Clinton-Glen Gardner

High Bridgee to Grestmoor was re
surfaced early this summer, and il

Patriotic citizens will not OBJ
ject to devoting one day year to
fire drill. Heretofore when an in
ternational fire-that is war-which
called for assistance by the United
States broke out every man has
grabbed a bucket and run for the
fire. That's patriotic but it is not
up-to-date. Now we have good laws
and an excellent volunteer fire de
partment with modern apparatus,
but we must have a fire drill oc-
casionally or we wont know what
to do or how to use our equip
ment. That is what the National
Defense Day is and | cannot con-
eeive how any patriotic or progress
sive American can object to it. We
are simply going to test the eff
cheney of the company and try out
the fire hose. National Defense Day
means nothing else There is moth
ing militaristic about it." This is the
statement of General John J. Perish
ing who expressed himself as amazed
when he returned from Europe this
week, that any one should object
to National Defense Day.
The opinion in Washington is that
it was wholly characteristic of the
organs that Brother Chas., without
even waiting for an expression from
the head of the ticket, should have
injected himself into the national
situation with an appeal designed to
attract the pacifists. His first pro-
test was taken here as merely a
smart-alecly effort to play cheap
politics and for that reason Presi-
dent Coolidge has declined to enter
into any public controversy with "the
little brother of the Peerless Lead
err" 1t was suspected in some quar-
ters that John w Davis would resent
the conduct of his running mate
but not by those who know Mr..
Davis at all we'll He is, his close
friends point out, far too shrewd and
adroit a lawyer to permit, at this
early stage of the campaign, any in
dication of real animosity between
him and the man chosen to bride
the Bryan vote Whatever Mr.. Da-
Wis may think he will give no pub
lie sign of displeasure and it was
all in accordance with expectations
that he should have taken occasion
as soon as he returned from his
vaaction in Maine, to announce that
he was ''in entire accord" with
Brother Chas. That Brother Chas
has seen the error of his ways, how
ever, would seem to be indicted by
his announcement that he did not
purpose to play politics when he
voiced his views.
