FINISH LONG MOTOR TOUR
Mrs. Hall and Son Used Up
Many Tires and Much Gasoline.

Forty thousand miles by automobile. a
trip through thirty-thrce countries and
around abe globe. ended here Yesterday
when Mrs. William 4. Hall and her son
Melvin Hall. steered their car into its
Broadway garage. Their trip is said to
be the first of its kind accomplished Ivy
amateur drivers. They wore out III tires
and burned up 300 gallons Of Sasolcnc
but suffered no serious mishaps.
The Halls. with their four-cylindcr
phaeton type car. sailed from New York
June 10 1911. Originally they had no
thought OF cncircling the world. They
motored through England and Wales and
then through nearly every country in Eu-
rope. From Naples their automobile was
shipped TO Bombay, and they spent sew
eral weeks driving through India They
wore out dozens of tires on the roads OF
Ceylon Sumatra. Java and the Malay
Peninsula. They motorcd up through
Cochin China and southern China TO
Hong Kong, then through Japan and the
Philippines.
Landing in San Francisco, the motorists
travelled through northern Mexico. and
then came homo by way of the Santa re
trail and through Denver, st. Louis.
Pittsburgh and Washington.

BUSES MAKE FINE RECORD
Seven White Machines Show
Little Wear in Hard Service.

Sixty thousand miles have been co'eTeh
by each Of seven White motor buses
operated by the Rapid Transit Motor
Company Of indianapolis during the
last year. In summer and winter this
feet maintained its efficiency steadily, de-
spite a high average of $50 miles daily
travel and an operative schedule of sew
enteen hours each day.
No more convincing evidence of motor
bus efficiency could be given than the
statement Of the company TO tho effect
that after a years service three of tho
buses were overhaulcd and found TO be
as good as new, without any pcrceptble
wear in any motor parts. During last
winter and the present one. when street
car service was paralyzed by weather
conditions, the White buses kept UP their
schedule.
Without taking into account the item
of overhead expense. the company found
that the cost per mile was only A., cents
In winter. under extreme conditions. this
figure was slightly increased The year.
record shows an average of ten miles on
gallon of Gasolene and 800 miles on a
gallon Of oil.

BOOSTS BASKETBALL TEAM
Defeats Stimulate Interest in
Game, Saws Spectator"

Despite the fact that Columbia's bas-
kctball team has yet to win a game. the
student boey of the university on Morn
ingsde Heights has rallied to the support
of the five. as indicated by an editorial
which appeared in The Columbia Spec
tator" yesterday. The Spectator feels
that Columbia's defeats this year will do
more than anything else to strengthen
basketball as an intercollegiate sport
TINS is the editorial:
SO strong is the force of habit that it
seems almost an impossibility for us 10
write words otner than those OF con-
graduation TO Columbia basketball

MERCER TEAM SELECTED
De Palma, Bragg and Wishart
to Race Trenton Cars.

Announcement was made yesterday that
the Mercer racing team for the coming
season will consist Of Ralph De Palma,
Caleb Bragg and Spencer f.. Wishart.
The three drivers expect TO figure prom-
nently i'm the seasons winnings. The first
big race in which the new Mercer team
will appear is the 5O0-mile international
sweepstakes, scheduled to be run on the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway on MAY 20
next. The Mercer company is now build
ing three racing cars in its factory in
Trenton. y. j.
De Palma and Wishart will soon take
up their headquarters at the factory and
begin the work of testing out their new
mounts. Bragg will probably join them
as soon as he returns from Europe, some
time in March. The selection of the Mer-
Ger by these star pilots is another proof
Of the assertion that medium weight rae
ing cars are rapidly replacing those OF
bulk and weight which formerly reigned.

KELLY TRUCKS A SUCCESS
Government Finds Air. Cooled
Motors Give Satisfaction.

The new water-cooled Kelly trucks
have proved a decided success in the
government service. The quartermasters'
department Of the United States marine
corps at the Philadelphia navy ward is
using several Of the one-ton machines OF
this make.
The ability OF the Kelly truck to stand
up and give reliable service under all sorts
Of weather and road conditions Is in a
large measure responsible for its success.
While the trucks in this service are rated
at one ton they have many times been
called upon TO carry much larger loads,
and have always acquitted themselves
successfully.
