SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

BOSTON, Mass. Nov. 14.-"The reason
Boston people are not liked better out
west is that they are too reserved, and
the westerners like people who slop
over little. who are brimming over
with enthusiasm. They have no use
for the man who has seen the big
elephant, and all the other elephants
too
Such was the stricture that President
Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the University
of California placed upon Bostonlans
in the course of a lecture at the con-
vocation at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology this afternoon
Dr. Wheelers criticism of Boston and
Bostonians was not severe and he modl-
fed it in these words
You are up here in a northeastern
corner of the country. but it is pretty
good corner after ALL l started here
and it is a good place to start from

Out west they are a little suspicious
at first of Boston people. who just
have to wait until they get little

RoUGH TRIP IN THOMAS FLYER

After a 1880 mile automobile trip,

ranges were crossed by Erb and his

terday, said: We left Goldfield Satur-

ments, and New York, Philadelphia.
Chicago and Trenton have bought
steamers for municipal service. These
ambulances and buses have usually
been built on the regular stock chas-
sis. but the new vehicles will be espe-
cially designed. There is hardly a
country on the globe that is without
a bus line equipped with Whites. but
it is in Japan that the steam car has
made the greatest inroads into the
rapid transit field. A street railway
promoter recently returned from ia
pan reports that many cities have in
stalled motor bus lines because the
streets are too narrow for car tracks.
More than 80 White steam cars were
sold in Nippon for this service last
year. There is also a great demand
for trucks in the mikado's realm, and
the White company expects to design
one especially equipped for service on
the tortuously narrow roads of that
country. The White steam car was
the pioneer among American cars in
Japan. The White representative in
Japan reports that there is but little
demand for purely pleasure automo-
biles in that country. There are two
reasons for this: the poverty of the
country and the steep and narrow roads
which make touring toilsome."

NEM INTERNATIONAL RULES

At the meeting Of the international
congress Of the recognized automobile
clubs, recently held in Paris. consider
able discussion was brought about by
the consideration Of the questions
which dealt with the limitations Of the
racing car dimensions. The four inch
limitation was advocated by the British
four inch contest recently held in the
British islands. The Automobile club
OF America, at the request Of the Amer
1can manufacturers suggested con-
siderably larger limit, while France
even went farther in advocating a big
bore for the engine A compromised
maximum bore Of engine for racing
cars I'm international contests was
finally adopted which places the limit
at 5.llS inches, and the minimum
weight at l9S45a pounds, the sugges-
ton for the compromise coming from
the representatives Of the Automobile
Club Of italy. The question of stand
ardizatiOn Of touring car specifications,
which the Automobile Club Of Italy
proposed. in view Of the fact of so
many contests being claimed 10 be
stock car events, was passed without
any action, as those present felt that
they had enough 10 do to control the
racing car question. Another question
was a general proposition TO form~an
international judicial commission,
Of automobile laws in order to make
international touring as easy as pOssi-
bic. The ways and means of effecting
Inls uniform law caused so much dis
cussiOn that il was decided to hold an
extra session Of the congress at Paris
on the 30th Of the month which is the
opening day Of the Automobile salon.

kota. North Dakota and Manitoba.

their car and have nothing but praise
TO speak Of fl. Their trouble en- route
consisted Of losing an apron and
whistle from the car in the sage brush
in Nevada, pulling a mud guard of in
Idaho and a sprung axle in western
wyoming. having but three punctures
en- route Aside from this there was
no trouble Of any description
on part Of the trip they followed the
same road staken by the New York to
Paris racers, and people told them OF
seeing them go through They stopped
for a time at the summit of the highest
point Of the Rockies, which was the

sumption for the entire journey was

When every bid is received, they will be opened. Then the decs- ions and awards will be announced.
