FWO MEN PLAN 127-DAY TRIP ■ AROUND WORLD letroiter and Newspaper i man Hope to Establish I Record. ' V Sfj XEA Servtco 1 DETROIT, March 23.—Eleven years ago Edward S. Evans hobbled tyito Detroit on crutches. Money and Health were at a low ebb. It was Hard for him to move fast and impossible for him to move far. But next June Evans, now a multimillionaire, will attempt to travel around the world in twenty-seven and one-half days—seven days faster than any man has ever made the circuit. In this trip he will use airplanes, express trains and fast steamers. Ills baggage will consist of little more than a toothbrush and a change of linen.

One Companion He will be accompanied by Linton Wells, newspaperman, who gained fame a couple of years ago when he stole a 2,000-mile ride across India in one of the Army world fliers’ planes. Wells is now in the Orient arranging details of the projected dash. The two will start from New York by airplane, flying across the continent to Vancouver, British Columbia. There they will board a fast mail liner for Tokio, in Japan. At Tokio another airplane will be used to carry the travelers to Vladivostok. At that city they will board an express train on the trans-Sibe-rian railway for Moscow, the Russian- capital. And at Moscow, another airplane will come into use, bearing them through Berlin and Paris to London.

Then Home Then they will sail for New York on the fatest ocean liner available. The Canadian Pacific line has promised to cooperate by holding one of its fast Empress steamships twen-ty-four hours, if necessary, at Vancouver. Making the circuit of the globe in as short a time as possible has been popular ever since Jules Verne published his “Around the World in Eighty Days” in the middle of the last century. In 1889 Nellie Bly, a newspaper woman, made the trip in 72 days 6 hours and 11 minutes. This record lasted until 1903, when Henry Frederick lowered it to 54 days, 7 hours and 2 minutes. 1913 Record Stands In 1911 Andre Jaeger Schmidt' completed the trip in 39 days 19 hours and 42 minutes, but two years later anew mark was set, this time by Jhn H. Mears, who went around in 35 days 21 hours and 36 minutes. Mears’ record still stands. Evans was living in Richmond, Va., in 1914, when a series of reverses cbst him his health and his money. He hobbled into Detroit with no assets except an idea for a triangular piece of wood with which to brace automobiles shipped in box cars. His idea was a good one. Presently he found himself at the head of a lumber mill engaged solely in making these triangular pieces of wood. Business prospered, until today he owns nine mills and is very wealthy. He Has the “Bug” Since attaining riches Evans has had the "trail blazing bug” in various forms. A couple of years ago he and another Detroiter went after a gold medal offered by the Canadian government to the first person who would travel by auto from Winnipeg to Vancouver. Part of the way they had to drive along the ties of railroads, as there were no passable roads. NOW A PLAYGROUND MOSCOW —TsarskoeSelo, once the favorite summer home of the emperors and empresses of Russia, is now a playground for the children of the Russian masses.

‘lnching’ New Fad at Street Corners Practice of Drivers, Pedestrians Scored by Club Manager.

“Inching” is a term being applied to motorists and pedestrains who are so selfish they must crowd ahead ftt corners every chance they get, according to Todd Stoops, secretarymanager of the Hoosier Motor Club. “One may see motorists ‘lnching’ at the automatic signal when the ‘Change’ light is on and just before the ‘Stop” light fades away. He is in a hurry and wants a flying start when the ‘Go’ light, flashes regardless of pedestrian or motorist traffic and traffic rules. Oftimes he crowds In to the extreme right, as for a right turn, but he Is only jockeying for position with the sole intent of crowding the driver to the left. “The Incher will also stop his car In the downtown district half way across the side walk lane for pedestrians, forcing them to walk around and slowing this form of traffic considerably. He also races his motor in order to intimidate pedestrian traffic so that his path will be clear when the semaphore is turned.

“The Inching pedestrian is also to blame for slowing motor traffic in the downtown districts. They will step off the curb and crowd motor vehicle traffic as much as possible or until some driver takes a right hand turn, then they scamper ,? r t 0 P ro Per places. Not so long ago the Incher would have been called a Goat which is still a, term of contempt for persons of ill breeding who are always butting
