By CHARLES W. SMITH
While I found among thooe with

coupled a .;h aphiloeoph. -a optimism
over what the morrow vould hold. I
must confess that s third class of way

no positive objective. They are mere
ly “on the road.”
This class is made up of women, are
girls and young boys.
While railroad and community po
l:ce officials are making every effort
to eliminate this class of vagabond,
they are having little success. Inci
dentally. it has only been during the
past year that women have taken to
the open road with a vun and deter
mination than won't be downed.
A railroad brakeman in the Great
Northern yards at Minneapolis told
me that he had counted 21 on reight
trains arriving and departing from
that terminal in one week. At Albert
l Lea. Minn., a yard switchman on the
Minneapolis and St, 'Louis road de
clared no fewer than a doeen had
passed'through there Doa single week,
Railroad men througho'*): the middle
west and west tell the same story.
In a Na.yjr Batty
My first contact with one of these
feminine hoboes was in Grind, Forks
N. D.. at the junction o the Canadian
and West Coast :«ft*k of tbw>Gr«ftt
Northern. She wot Lv-iseJ In a 87**’

i,he was an pretty girl.
• What's the use o' beating around
the. bush?” she expostulated when
questioned as to why she waj traveling
In this way. “It’s easy traveling now.
I've lived In New York all my life.
I've never seen any of the country.
But I’m seeing N. now.’
This girl exemplified the modern
girl to the ultimate d&eija. Listen to
her:
“No, I’m not afraid to travel alone.
I can take care of myself, I’ve been
doing It' for 22 years. If a man tried
to get fresh with me in a box cst I
let hfm know where to get off. H®
usually does. “And” she added naively
"if I have any trouble that 1 can t
handle I can always call on th® mem
bers of the train crew for he.p ”
In Willmar. Minn., two >oung wo
men approached the brakeman to
whom I was talking. One of them in
troduced herself 88 Mai :c Nevln, of
Chicago. She asked:
"la there any stream near the yards
where we can wash our clothes and
take a bath? We can't go on looking
like this?”
Their Objective
This gi™ explained that she and her
companion had been chorus girls from
a Chicago nighrt club. Succinctly. sfa<-
told of a long lay-off, a dwindling
money supply and a desire to get to
Los Angeles to “get in on som-i of the
graft there."
“But don't you have trouble with
men you meet oji the road?” the rail
road man asked them.
“No”, the other girl declared. “Most
of them act like real gentlemen toward
us. They offer to help us anc when
we do run across any man who ge’e
slouchy there’s always aome who will
come to our rescue. But.-fbr the most
part, the men on the road are treating
us more like buddies than women.”
In the freight yards at Omaha I
ran across a man, woman and baby.
The man said that he and hid family
had come from Los Angeles and were
trying M> get hack to their home in
Pennsylvania.
“Esther’s been swel about this-” be
exclaimed with considerable pride.
"She could have stayed with some of
her relatives in San Diego, but she did
not want me bumming alone. I didn't
want her to come, but she’s taking it
like a trooper.”
“But the baby?” I protested.
“He’s three years old," the father
said-. “I manage to get enough milk
for him. But don’t gefe it Into your
head that my wife goea and does any
of the humming. I’m the head of this
family, and I’m going to get their foqd
for them. Esther finds a place t
wash our things tthlle I do the beg*

Runaway Girl A Problem
Runaway girls provide one of the
biggest problems of the police. These
girls * hear stories horw easy it is to
ride freight trains and see the coun

I found three such girls in a box
car on a Rock Island train between
Kansas City and Minneapolis. They
were on, their way home and going
to the west coast via Washington and
Oregon and returning through Arizona
New Mexico and Oklahoma.
Incidentally, they were the first of
ouch travelers who had doffed their
.£]p*hee for the easier overalls.
