WHEELBARROW IS PUSHED ALMOST AROUND THE WORLD
Boston Globe Trotter Arrives In Birmingham After Trip To All Foreign Countries And Has Five Months To Get

contest. You can insure against ta1i- ure to marry a rich widow, or rain, or business reverses, or loss of your wife's affection if you can pay the premiums, somehow the fellow who listed the insurance hazards for got to include wheelbarrows.
 Converted Into Automobile.
 solution was found for the diff ficulty, however. You can't insure a wheelbarrow as such, but you can in sure it as an automobile, providing you stretch the automobile classified tion a little. It was therefore neces- sary to make the changes necessary to convert it into an automobile, or at least enough like one to be in- sured as such. Strange to say, these changes were easy to make. It was found that the addition of the head light. a tail light and horn, or other noice producing mechanism, uld be sufficient to satisfy the insurance companies. So this equipment was added and has been foundi useful in his Journe neyings.
 Wherever he has gone, Caves has obtained the signatures of citizens as proof of his having been there. He ha accumulated a large collection of post cards in several languages. rep resenting the countries through which he has pushed his barrow. These are exhibited on the sides and never fail to attract considerable at tention whenever he stops, whether it be in a big city or European capital or a tiny village. He is said to have worR out 27 pairs of double- soled boots, and it has been neces- sary to buy several new wheels for his barrow.
 Physically, the new endurance champion of the world is the type of person one would expect to carry away such honors. He is well above six feet in height and has the frame of giant. He walks so rapidly that his barrow almost comes under the automobil1 classification in still an other sense, that of speed.
 He still has nearly five more months in which to finish the trip from Birmingham to Boston, so there is little danger of his failing to ar rive in plenty of time.
