TRAVELS TWO MILLION MILES
Three Years Claims Worlds
Lono-Distance Record.

Worcester, Mass.-Edmund r. Ware
Of Worcester lays claim to having trav-
eled more miles, or at least as many,
as any man now alive.
He has been a travelling salesman
most of the eighty-five years of his
life. Mr.. Ware has been up and down
and across the North American con-
tinent literally hundreds of times and
estimates that he has covered more
than 100000 miles.
Most of Mr. Wares travelling has
been done in the interests of various
firms which he represented as sales
man, but he made extensive trips in
Mexico. While in Mexico Mr.. Ware
Travelled on a personal pass from Pres
ident Diaz, whose friend and admirer
he was.
Mr. Ware made an extensive tour
through the Canadian northwest, and
he was in the party which located the
stations of the now famous Canadian
mounted police, then just beginning
their career.
Mr.. Ware began his career as trav-
cling salesman when he was twenty
and continued in 1t steadily for SO
years. In this period he says he passed
half of his nights in sleeping cars and
saw every city on the North Amerii
can continent.

From three until nine five days week, and for twenty
four hours on the other days. the boy is outside

and loyalty sown.
There always sides to story. There
always two sides to boyand it depends upon which
side is diligently cultivated whether he becomes
a credit a to society.
The Rotary Club of New York is giving its money
and the enthusiastic support of its members the work
of uplifting the underprivileged boys Of New York in
order to make them citizens of whom we may be
proud.

ROdman Law Dead:
Famous for Daring
Death for Movies
Suffered Many Accidents
and Was Often in Hos.
pital; Falls Victim of Tu-
berculosis at Camp Sewer

GREENEVILLE, S. c., Oct. 14.-Rod-
man Law. aviator and parachute jump
er, who startled New York, Chicago and
other cities by his feats, died to-day
at the Camp Sewer hospital of pulm
/ airy tuberculosis. He was q brother of
Ruth Law, the aviatrix.
Frederick Rodman Law was born in
Lynn. Mass, thirty-four years ago. At
an early age he went into the business
of jumping from things for the moving
picture concerns. One of his first at
tempts was leap from the top of the
Statue of Liberty with parachute. He
tried Brook yn Bridge next, and fol-
greensboro Bridge and Williamsburg
Bridge.
These heights were not great enough
for Rodman Law, so he jumped from an
aeroplane travelling at sixty miles an
hour at height of $500 feet. He
heat that record by jumping from an
aeroplane at height OF $500 feet.
Law added to his ability as para
chute jumper the ability to climb up a
straight wall. He invented set Of
! hand and feet grips which he could sink
into the mortar between bricks, and
he tried his contrivance on the Flat
iron Building. Friends suggested a
clapboard side of cottage, which Law
climbed successfully. He leaped from
the roof of the Bankers Trust Company
Building. at Wall and Nassau streets,
and landed on the roof of the Sub
Treasury.
In 1913 Law planned transatlantic
fight with his sister, Ruth, to win "The
Daily Mail" prize. His route was SINH
lar to that whic' Havker usnd - his
effort. Laws plans did not materialize.
Law burned q balloon by setting a
fuse TO ton mounds f dv nj and
dropped 450 feet into the Hudson River
near Grants Tomb i'll 1912. A bet Of
$40 induced Law to stand on his head
on the ball on top Of the Singer Build
ing flagpole.
When this country entered the war
Law enlisted in the aviation corps.
Laws most daring, and also most
disastrous, feat was when the action
of moving picture in which he was
acting demanded trip tc the moon.
Law constructed large sky rocket, at
one end of which was big steel COM
partment into which he crept. The
rest of the rocket was charged with
1900 pounds of gunpowder. The fuse
was set off and the explosion occurred
