DRIVING FRANKLIN
 IN LOWEST GEAR
100 Mile Endurance Run Is Under Way Here

At the conclusion of the first 30 miles of a 100-mile tour to deter mine the reaction Of a Franklin car motor driven in low gear it was in dicated today that test now under way in this city will clip one hour from the factory tests made some time ago under similar conditions.
 The car. a stock model is being operated in and about New Britain by G. (. katzbach. sales manager Of the Franklin Motor Co. Of New Britain. This test is one Of 100 being made in all the important cities of t2le country today.
 At SEQ the car was started from the Burritt hotel in low gear bear ing the driver Colonel W w. Bullen. and a Herald reporter. A tour of the western ssction of the city was made,
 This was followed by a trip to Plainville, Forestvil'e and Bristol,
 The trip back was made over the same highway until the party reached West Main street, when the driver turned into Lincoln street and drove through the southwestern sec ton,
 The first 25 miles of the trip was reached as the car was passing St. Joscph's church on South Main street.
 No difficulty was eNperenced in getting by a traffic tower and two traffic officers without having to stop. The next lap on inc route was a trip 10 Kensington, past the Ken sington Paper Goods and down the Cat-Hole highway 10 a point near the border line Of Meriden.
 The first stop the car was forced to take was in the traffic tie-up on Main street during the noon hour. At exactly 12:2S o'clock the car was stopped at the corner of Main and West Main streets. near the New Britain National bank building. This did not interfere with the program set out. because the engine contin- ued to run despite the fact that the wheels were not turning.
 At 12:S0 o'clock the speedometor showed the car had reached the 50- mile mark. II was passing along Prospect street at the time. Shortly before this time a reserve driver was added to the party in case the strain of the hard grind should handicap MT. Katzbach as he hears the end of his tedious drive.
 The accomplishments of the car are more remarkable when ii is con- sidered that it was only run 99o miles previous to this trip. If the pace set in the first half of the trip is continued, the trip should be made in six hours and 20 minutes. The record at the factory was about seven hours and 20 minutes.

school to ascertain the actual facts
as to crime in greater Boston. Wild

by an anonymous gift of $4,000 and
another gift for certain special pur-
poses.

through investigation of court rec
ords accurate statistics of crime, es-
pecially crimes of violence, which
would make possible accurate COM
parison of the proportion of speci-
fled crimes to the population for sue
cessiye decades.
Under the present plan the law
school faculty, in addition to the
work outlined previously, will en-
deavor to ascertain who are the per-
sons who commit certain specified
crimes-crimes of violence, sex
crimes. larceny, and related crimes
crimes of fraud and breaches OF GER
tain police regulations. There will be
an endeavor to find out who these
persons are. what their antecedents
are, and what because of them, as
well as their mental condition. Also
there will be study of tn economic
and social conditions of criminality
/ of the conditions of juvenile delin-
quency, and of the policing of great
er Boston in Its relation to crimi-
| nality. A special gift has been prom
Used for the study Of juvenile delin-
