FlFTY.TH0USANO MILE AUTO
TRIP

With the arrival In New York OF
Melvin A. Hall and his mother In a
weather beaten automobile, there was
completed a trip around the world
that stands without q parallel In all
the annals of motoring. The distance
travelled was close 20 10000 miles.
Manager Miller, OF the Gordon Motor
Company. has just received the story
About eighteen months ago Mr.. Hail
shipped his Packard - Southampton
intending 20 tour Europe FOR Few
months, and then return 10 America
Lured by the mysterious call OF the
Orient, the youth and his mother con-
tinued their journey eastward ana
incompassed the earth.
Few motorists cover Europe as
thoroughly as did these two courage
Gus travellers. They penetrated the
Swass Alps, the Italian lake region
Austrian Tyrol ana the Doiomites-
Brittany. Hungary. Denmark Albania
and the Balkan states were covered ~
the same way. From Naples, the car
was shipped 70 Bombay. After the
-DIrbar. II went north to Peshawar.
thence 10 Calcutta, Delhi. ceyion, Java.
China. the philippines. japan and
back by way OF San Francisco, Los
Angeles and the old santa re trail.
During this 5O.e00-m mile journey the
route led through many miles ofscoun-
try where a motor car had meyer be-
fore been seen. II traversed deserts,
where the heat was almost nnbear-
able; dense jungles. where travel was
tendfous and almost impossible New
and extraordinary conditions almost
continually confronted young Hail
and his mother.
At no stage Of the journey had they
a driver or mechanician. and the only
snare parts carried were contained In
a tool box ten inches square and three
Inches deep.
"Yes. mother and / are both happy
10 be here once more said Nh. Han
when he arrived at the Packard branch
in New York The trip was begun
with no idea Of extending ii beyond
summer tour in Europe The timer
arv was developed wholly as we pro-
crossed. Ny Packard, with 1000
mounds OF equipment, has pioweo
through painless deserts under a
searching sun. cravled up appalling
grades in the mountains with twenty
seven inches OF snow over the Con-
tinentaI divide. fallen through iran
bridges. been towed by water-Dunaio
through rivers so deep that the cush-
ions were soaked, ciogged with clay
and mud, stood day and night in the
tropical dowupours, endured innumer-
able rough landings in loading ana
unloading with inadequate ships tao
kIe. Only infrequently has II found
shelter in the past year. We have
used III tires, but there has been no
mechanical delay over the entire dis
lance"

NATURAL ROAD POLICY

That the Sixty-third Congress OF the
United States will devote much time
and attention to the establishment OF
a national policy of road building is
unquestioned. What that policy will
be is yet to be determined Having in
mind the establishment of safe and
sane policy of highway construction,
the second Federal Aid Good Roads
Convention has been called by the
American Automobile Association 10
meet in Washington, u. c., March .
and T. primarily 10 concentrate the
thought and crystalline the good roads
sentiment of the country at large along
practicable and equitable lines OF Fed
eral participation in roads building.
Every State will have official repre-
sentation through a delegation named
by its Governor, which in many in
stances includes the state Highway
Engineer or member Of the Highway
Commission of the State. The busi-
ness organizations of the country VIII
be represented by delegations appoint
ed by the leading chambers OF COM
merce and boards of trade. The farm
ers will have representation through
delegations named by the various
State Oranges, and the organized mo-
torists and road users throughout the
country are alive to the Importance or
this nationwide gathering of good
roads enthusiasts. In outlining feas-
ible road building policy. Chairman
Diehl, of the a. a A National Good
Roads Board, makes the following
comments:
The highway development of the
country might very properly be d.
vided into four great Subdivision
National Roads. by which is meant the
main trunk highways of a State, North
and South. and East and West fair
estimate of the mileage of such ma
tional system of roads would not ex-
coed a total of 10000 miles. Such ma
tionaI highways would naturally bear
the brunt of transportation, passing as
they would through the large centres

F0UR-CYllNDER CAR

How far will Americans go n the
manufacture Of six-cylinder cars.
Many engineers have come out with
the assertion that motor car construc-
ton OF the future will lean more and
more heavily toward the six, but this
opiaiou Is not shared by p e. Hupp.

INSPECTION NECESSARY

A substantial factor in the success
OF the Stearns- Knight car during the
past year has been the rigid tnspec-
ton system. now considered neces-
sary branch OF activity in the sue
cessfui marketing of every high-class
automobile. says u A Bienner' the
local Staerns dealer.
The inspection system Of the F. r.
Stearns Company is begun when the
raw materials reach the plant at
Cleveland Every consignment OF steel
must undergo analysis and inspection
by several different experts. The
parts are three times inspected when
they leave the machines in the shops
and the finished work is again IN
spected after the chassis has been as
sernbIed in the erecting shops. Be
fore the completed car goes out OF the
factory, each is tried out. and every
part is operated to make sure that it
is in perfect working order
The f. B Stearns Company goes a
step farther in its unique method OF
INSPECTION. IT inspects Stearns-
Knight owners cars without charge
wherever they may be in operation
This is done by specially trained ser
vice men which each year come to
the Cleveland plant from all parts Of
the nation for special work and IN
struction in the shops. Such a man
can be secured by the owner OF a
Stearns- knight car anywhere in the
United States within twenty-four
hours and in the cities his services
may be had at once
In this way the inspection system
of the F. p. Stearns Company is ma
ton wide in scope. and looks after the
conditions of the car. both during its
construction and during the time II Is
in operation.

Queer Result of Accident.

The recent disastrous wreck on tho

Such State highways should include
all roads connecting the county seats
of the State, and would be branches
of the main trunk or national high
ways. They should be built at the ex-
pense of the state alone, without as
sistance from the counties or town
ships; likewise the maintenance of
state roads should be borne by the
State alone

Lastly, we have the town highways,
which form the fourth subdivision In
the system. Such town highways
might best be governed by the town
superintendents, and would vary as
the local conditions of each town

Jointly at the expense of the State and
