The Boom in Michigan.

i s.
All signs point toward boom for
Michigan. Land that has lain idle for
years by virtue Of the fact that it was
unsuitable for farming purposes is
going to be valuable for its scenic
assets in the very near future, if in
dications are borne out BY develop
ments. e
1t is possible that the Florida real
estate scramble has had some reaction
favorable to Michigan. However, this
State can congratulate itself on the
fact that values here are rising more
logically. on the basis Of actnal value.
The "option fren4y probably win not

that some attempts have been made

Record Globe CirCline.

Modern transportation has pro.
gressed to the point that the world
can be circled in less than q month.
Edward 8. Evans. Detroit banker, and
Linton Wells, journalist, demonstrated
this fact when they were rushed into
New York yesterday from Mitchell
Field, Long Island, just twenty-eight
days. fourteen hours, thirty.slx min
utes and Ave seconds from the time
they embarked on their sensational
journey.
The last previous globe-circling rec
ord was made in 1918 by John Henry
Mears, who welcomed Evans and
Wells when they arrived yesterday,
and announced that he intended to
better their time when. he begins
another trip in September. Mears'
record was thirty.fiye days, twenty
one hours and thirty.flve. minutes.
Evans. and Wells have therefore re
duced this mark by more than one
week. #
But for unexpected Heterogeneous
in their plans for crossing the. United
States after they had left the steamer
Empress of Asia, which carried them
from Yokohama to Victoria. the world
travellers would probably have set the
record at twenty.eight days nat. The
original plane that was 70 pick them up
in Seattle and rush them to New York
in less than two days was disabled.
The Army. however, stepped into the.
breach and furnished machines.
When almost in sight OF their goal
the travellers were forced to spend 4
night in Illinois because Of lack. OF
night flying equipment. This stop il
estimated to have added more than
nine and one-han hours to the time
they might have made.
The entire trip Ofstwenty thousand
miles furnishes q striking example Of
the reliability a. well as the speed Of
transportation Of the present day. An
tomobile, boat, train and airpiane all
contributed to the establishment Of
the new record. sixteen days the
world circlers spent on fast liners
trayersing the Atlantic. and Pacific.
Eight days they sat behind whirring
motors while they were whisked
through the air. and five days they
spent on fast trains across Asiatic
Russia and Japan.
Approximately distance Of 5000
miles was covered by ship, almost the
same diptance by airpiane and about
900 miles By train. Automobiles
were used to mike connections and
for the trip between Cherbourg and
Paris, soon after the start Of the jour
ney. Evans and Wells travelled In
twelve airplanes; not one was late; not
one missed fire and not one met with
an accident.
