A remarka BILE motorcycle journey, and
one in which the results &c be obtained
are quite oct Of the ordinary. has just
boon begun by ]. Stout. a St. Paul news
paper man.
Mr.. Stout is better known by his rid
ing name OF Jack Knife. he has
planned a tour of thousands Of miles,
that will begin in England, and have
its eastern end In some point in Asia
that has not yet been decided upon. tt e
long ride will be made with a view
70 finding new models OF toys for lit
tie folks. He will send back specimens
OF the toys that he thinks have never
been seen on this side OF the Atlantic.
and which can be adapted for use by
American children. together with de-
scriptive notes telling OF the manner
IN which they are manufactured abroad.
This Il will be seen. opens up u fas-
Gina ling field. and offers an unusual op-
portunfty for studying the habits Of
strange races.
It may be taken for granted that after
Mr.. Stout leaves the main Travelled
routes. he will find nothing that will
seem as strange 70 him. as the swift
flying machine he rides will be TO many

AUTOS ARE TESTED
FOR USE IN WAR
Department Conducts Ex-
periments to Shed Light
on Adaptability.

One of the problems which the war
Department is now working out AT the
national and State enc ampment at pine
Camp. neaE Watertov y. Y. is the
adaptability OF the automobile Tor mill
tary purposes.
Tho machines chosen for this test are
two 3o-horse2ower Studebaker cars. OF
same type which carried Mai. Gen. r.
d. Grants message from New York TO
Fort BeayenwOrth. Kan, last winter.
The two ears are being put 10 every
conceivable test. one Is reserved for
the exclusive use Of Mai Gen r. ID.
Grant. and the other is held for the use
of his stan. The country around Pine
Plains. n. Y, is rough enough TO thor
oughly test the endurance of the cars.
Col E. F. Glenn, chief umpire Of the
naneuvers, said upon his arrival at
camp: If the two Studebaker cars
continue 20 give the same kind Of sery-
ice that they already have there Is not
the slightest doubt in my mind for its
availability for military work any
where. II has already proven that II
can 20 where a horse and wagon can't.
speedily that there is no comparison"
No one in camp is better pleased with
tn showing made by the two autOmo-
biles than Maj. Gen. T. d. Grsnt. lie
said today: Il hardly believed that II
would be possible for automobiles to go
TO the places where 1 have seen these
two Studebakers. We have pur7OseIy
subjected them TO the severest tests
They are especially valuable ir plotting
ont problems where it Is Necessary TO
carry guns AMI other paraphernalia not
easily taken on horseback. I believe
that the automobile has proven Itself
OF tremendous value in military work
More than that. / believe they are a
necessity. / am greatly pleased by the
excellent showing made by the two ma
chimes now under test"

ESTIMATE PLACES
ENTRANTS AT FIFTY
Numbes of Non-Co. testing Cars TO
Accompany Glidden Tourists
Unusually Large.

Little can be properly estimated Of
the probable number OF entries in the
sixth annual A A A. tour. owing TO
the fact that many owners and manu-
facJurers make up their minds TO com
pete at the very last moment.
Chairman Hover places the actual en-
try list at forty 10 fifty cars. while
newspaper men and publicity experts
confidentially put il at least seventy
five The number Of non-contestIng cars
viii be unusually large this year. and
II IS safe to say that hundreds Of auto
mobile parties will make Buffalo their
headquarters on July 9. for the cOnven-
ton. which precedes the start OF the
tour will attract many. The makers are
also taking a greater interest this year.
as the sixth annual is an event In which
competition is brought down 10 the
finest point, every car carrying observ-
ers who must be men who have been
connected with the trade for Al least
six months. and directly connected with
the makers who nominate them.
The real truth viii now be ascertain
ed in regard TO the showing made by
each car and I'm regard 20 the effect Of
tire troubles. There will be no sky
larking about the test, and as all max
ers sought just such a contest, their
entries VIII - received in greater num-
Der than ever. The early entry list
has no bearing on the final results. for
entries Invariably come IN late for Just
such an event There are already in
hand eighteen entries, and inquiries
which point certainly &c forty more.
while many viii enter finally who have
not been reckOned upon at all up 20 the
present time.

that the principal danger 10 pedes-
