committee of the So ciety of Automotive Engineers is how to provide a scientific basis on which the operating methods of any operator of motor trucks motor coaches taxi cabs or cars can be com pared with methods followed by other operators With such a basis provided it should become possible for the less successful operators to improve their methods conform more nearly with those of the more successful operators As a step toward solution of the problem the committee is investigat ing and preparing reports on the methods of handling drivers and me chanics standard records for mechan ical information and the relation of important accessories to maintenance With a view to developing the broad er aspect of establishing and codifying Jackson On leav road follows the the Ellis river notch

transportation of passengers and goods two schemes have been proposed and are under con sideration according to Plimp ton chairman of the committee Both contemplate a searching study of the larger motor transport opera tions but one would be a survey of one year's work of the larger common carriers and contract operators to show the nature of the business or ganization the type and amount of service rendered the character and lo cation of terminals garages shops and the like the kind of vehicles used the territory served and the road condi tions The other scheme would involve a detailed study of operating "expenses and earnings This approach through the financial side is put forward as the best method of crystallizing the prob lems of the industry as no yardstick is now available for comparing the operating costs and the receipts of the various operators It is thought that either scheme should be carried out by some outside and unbiased research group such as has been built up by larger universities as course in business or training and which is to handle such a project WORLDWIDE SERVICE STATIONS HELPED At 45 seconds past 5 o'clock on the morning of June 29 two American adventurers climbed into a seaplane in New York harbor to overtake a fast liner and to begin a journey that would have thrilled the blood of even the rench romancer Jules Verne or those two were literally going to race the moon around the girth of the world and incidentally to beat the world's record for speed in circling her circumference On Sunday July 22 23 days later a plane from the West bearing the two moon racers touched New York soil at Roosevelt ield and the adventure was over Thus has the great lunar champion 'been vanquished and thus have John Henry Mears New York playwright and Charles Collyer his co voyager regained Mears's own laurels as the speediest world circling traveller lost wheii the Wells Evans expedition in 1926 lowered the Mears 1913 record of 35 days to 28 days Twelve thousand miles of the Mears Collyer 'round the world dash were made by plane 8000 miles by steam ship They flew partly across both Atlantic and Pacific and travelled overland exclusively by air The long est non stop flight was a 1700 mile hop from Mukden Manchuria to Tokio Japan Governments of the various countries cooperated by' sup plying repair crews and weather re ports And at every
