The officials of the New Jersey Auto mobile and Motor Club having in charge the procurement of a law '.hat will establish reciprocal relations be tween the motorists of this and the other States of the Union deny that they are about to introduce a (om it: promise measure in the State Senate. President Bisseil, of the local club, j stated yesterday that any talk of corn- | promise was somewhat out of pla e, because no compromise bill could br.ng about real reciprocity, and tnut was the one thing that the friends of mo toring and motorists themselves . wanted. \ • no:: of ih« senators. said Mr. v Bisseil, "reveals the fact that the vote on the reciprocity bill will be very close and it appears as if the enemies of motoring were behind inis talk of a so-called compromise bill. The mo torists of this State are trying to se cure reciprocal laws, and it is a cer tainty that they will do al! within ‘.h ir power to secure the passage of those laws. » “The indications are that the Bracken liltl, which we introduced to the Leg islature, will pass the Senate when It is brought to a vote. ••'The motorist; of this State want tilt Bracken bill passed and the officials of (his club cannot accept any compro 'nifse, because we cannot compromise on t.he establishment of reciprocity. "Beeiproelty consist of being enabled t to enter our neighboring States with- i out restrictions as well as permitting j uon-resicUnt motorists to tour in our j •State under the same conditions, and 'as i any possible so-called compromise bills ; anno), but eliminate this most desired ' ^‘i tjnVenlence I fail to see the necessity for com promise. “The efforts of the motorists to secure real reciprocity cannot be stopped by tile preseut rumor of compromise. They » want the Bracken bill to pass and it has been promised that the bill will soon be reported out of committee In order that a vote may be taken in the Senate in the near future. “If compromise talk could achieve i he object for which we have been lighting since last August I would - gjadlv favor the consideration of a compromise measure, but I believe that , rily through a bill similar to the Edge or Bracken measures can reciprocity be • eeured and I shall therefore continue io urge the enactment into taw of such a measure, and I trust the Senate may ipoperate with us in our efforts to re deem the State from a false and dis graceful position." 1 AUTOCRAT OF THE ROAD r | j The National 40 has assert ' ed its superiority time and again in the foremost speed classes of the year.

Theodore T. Maxfleld, the agent for the Selden, has made four new sales of this popular car in the past fort night. H. I.

The car has already covered nearly 25,000 miles. The referee, starter and other offi cials of the Pablo Beach meet that starts Monday are now in Jacksonville and are enthusiastic in regard to the course. It is hoped that the Kssex County authorities will heed the suggestion of Melville H. Carpenter, chairman of the good roads committee of the New Jersey Automobile and Motor Club, to the effect that county roads shall be oiled early In the spring. Traveling over freshly oiled roads Is extremely unpleasant and such traveling does the roadbed considerable injury. It is estimated that there will be about 30,000 car licenses issued this year in New Jersey and the total amount received from registration foes should exceed $300,000. This revenue will be turned over to the State road department. ELECTRIC DEALERS UNITE.

No sane person ever desires to drive a car In ^every-day use at the rate of seventy miles an hour. Then why should the manufacturers go to such trouble to demonstrate to the public the ability of their car to go 500 miles at this speed? Of what real good is it to the automobile /purchasers that half a second be clipped off a world's record? "Is the sgme worth the can dle?” “It is,” says George M. Dickson, general manager of the National fac tory. “Although the element of sport en ters largely into every contest there is a serious side to motor racing that hi more important. It Is now generally acknowledged that racing is an effi cient guide to the motor car designer, enabling him to. correct faults that would escape for years In ordinary use, and. better still, every automobile con test offers an opportunity for the pub lic to Judge for themselves as to the desirability of a car. It Is for this reason and in this way that the com peting maker Is repaid.” KEEP DOWN FOREST FIRES. The State forester and the commis sioner of motor vehicles have requested motorists everywhere to be careful when touring not to throw matches while still lighted ^ont their cars. Many forest tires have recently been traced to a lighted match flung eare essly to the side of the road, wh»re Jry inflammable material has •/come gnited. thereby causing considerable iarnage. -—1 3===TENTN YEAR^==e=e-~ MODEL “51” TOURING CAR . $2,200 MODEL “41” TQU ING CAR .. 1,700 MODEL “38” TORPEDO. 1,650 MODEL “35” TOURING CAR . 1,250 MODEL “30” TOURING CAR . 1,250 MODEL “29” ROADSTER. 1,000 ........ r t The Jackson "41" Is :i cur of abundant power and absolute silence.

But ask these questions before purchasing: How long will this car kee^its youth; its good appearance; its wholesome sound? Will it be economical? Is there an organization back of this car that can make good the guarantee of service? Has this car beauty of line and finish? Refine ments? Sty leWill it give the utmost comfort at all times? Will it be a good seller in a year, two years, five years from now? A Chalmers car will be, because our strict one-price policy establishes a standard price for second-hand Chalmers cars. As for the answers to the other questions, we believe the Chalmers company can give better answers than any other company. f'linlmer* car* arc good car*.
