This you know, is the annual summer travel number of the Digest. One of its important features is outlining the trips you can make yourself if you want to follow in the footsteps of the father of your coun tr y. You will find Northern and Central New Jersey, for instance, criss-crossed with the comings and goings of Washington, says the Digest. They reach from tbe old prison house at Tappan where iVajor Andre was inearcerated, to the spot where Washington crossed th s Del aware near Trenton.
