TRAMP l2,00O MILES
 FOR s6,O00
Husband Aged 50 and Wife Aged 43 Succeed Where Younger Couples Failed

MT. and Mir. J. C. Duncan, of San Francisco, passed thru Will jams recently on their way to Los Angeles and the goal of their 12,- 900 mile hike. They were started from San Francisco during the month of March, 1914, by the Ath- letic Association of America. Their hike is test of human endurance and they are credited with having set world record.
 The route laid out for this ener- getic couple was from San Francis co to Connecticut by the Northern route, thence South to Key West, and from there to Los Angeles, by way of Denver. They exhibited a book containing the postmarks of the towns passed thru all along the route. They have set foot in twenty-seven states during the trip.
 MT. and Mrs. Duncan were searched before they started out and were required to start without cent and to earn their way. MT. Duncan is brick-layer by trade. Before reaching the limits of the city of San Francisco he had earn ed one dollar by building a short brick chimney.
 Mrs. Duncan proved the better walker of the two. During the entire trip, she would not have lost day except for her husband. He is bothered with rheumatism which caused them to lose seven days so far. This record already makes Mrs. Duncan the champion woman walker of the world. She has nearly doubled the longest dis tance recorded for any other wom- an Walker. This disproves the claim which many leading physic-
