BEGIN LONG TRIP

Couple From Brooklyn, N. Y., Expect to Circle Globe. Daniel Pearl and Beatrice Garten Plan to Wed When Youth Secures Employment—Brothers Start on 10r 000 Mile Auto Tour. New York.—With but one lonesome dollar as their wealth and less than half a dozen articles of wearing apparel as their luggage, a young man and a girl, his sweetheart, left on one of the Hudson river boats recently on their first leg of what they hope will be a trip around the world. The man is Daniel Pearl of 752 Quincy street, Brooklyn. His companion is Miss Beatrice Garten, eighteen years old, and pretty, who lives with her parents at 1162 Washington avenue, the Bronx. As they stood on the pier at the foot of Christopher street, waiting in vain for Louis Manheim, another young man who promised to accompany the two, Pearl told of his prospects and how they decided on the trip. “I have long desired to make a trip around the world. About a week ago I met Miss Garten, who was employed at one of the local department stores. We fell In love with each other at first sight, you might say. I told her of my resolution to tour the earth, and dared her to accompany me.” “And I would not take the dare. That’s why I am here to make the start,” put in the young woman, and she toyed nervously with her sweetheart’s tie. “We decided that we would start with one dollar as our capital. We Will leave the boat at Saugertles, and from there by walking, and riding when I have earned money, will head for San Francisco. When we arrive there we hope to have earned enough money to take passage to Japan. If not, I will look for a job on one of the ships.

“But the first money I earn,” he added, with a sparkle In his eyes, “shall be for the -purchase of a marriage license. That I hope will be soon.” To this final remark the girl nodded her head. “That was one of the stipulations of the dare," she said. New Haven, Conn. —E. D. and A. N. Mead, brothers, of Orange, left here in their automobile, and will encircle the United States before they return. A third member of the party on the 10,000 mile jaunt is their dog, “Bob.” The auto will be their home during the trip. They carry on it, besides their clothing, a tent and camping and cooking utensils, besides a supply of food. They intend to camp as the fancy strikes them, pitch their tent, cook their meals and stay as long as they please, :} Their route is down the Atlantic coast to the Gulf of Mexico, thence along the gulf and into Mexico, where they will stay several weeks. From there they will run up. the Pacific coast to British Columbia and eastward through Canada, finishing up by a dash down the Hudson river. Bob is a very important member of the combination. One of his uses will be to split any herds of cattle that may he encountered, so that the auto may run through. Another is to determine the depth of water in streams to be forded, Bob having been trained to yelp If the water Is more than a certain depth. He is as enthusiastic an autoist as either of his masters, and has accompanied the auto every time it has left the garage. The Meads, both of whom are wealthy, expect to be gone a year. 1 ,
