THE WRITER MAKING A TOlinff J
Mr. Smith, an editor and reporter,
traveled as a hobo to obtain first-hand
view* of “America Riding the Rods.”
This Is the fourth and last of a series
of stories by him.
By CHARLES W. SMITH
One thing of which I am thorough
ly convinced is that the American
people are the most adaptable people
on earth.
When the United States was cata
pulted into the World war he Ameri
cans quickly Dell int© line with a fren
zied frame of mind immediately.
Oklahoma City, Okla. —Slow
freight (only good stories selij.
W’ichita, Kas. —Starvation right!
• Cheyenne, Wyo.—Free and easy.
Portland, Ore.—A stemmer.
(Easy work on the big drags).
Memphis. Term.—Jail house
cops wall feed in the cooler.
Indianapolis, Ind.—. Good stem-'
ruing. .
Washington, D. C. —Stay away,
baby!
MORE HOBO SLANG
Fostoria, O.—Fair eating.
Salt Lake City, Utah —Paradise!
Omaha, Neb. —Morning town
(wives easy for handouts).
Akron. O.—Police town (cops
wil feed you).
Harrisburg. Pa.—Tough.
St. Paul, Minn.—Good dinging.
New Orleans, La.—Good be .C'*-
ing (free fruit at docks).
When the nation was plunged into an
unprecedented period of prosperity the
people of the country raised their
standard of living t© a poSnt com
mensurate with their income. Now.
when dark clouds of distress hever
over them they have adapted them
selves to the new standard —tempor-
arily.
When it became necessary for men
*o get out and look for work they

Proving Vita mins Exist ;
W hy ISamed Alphabetically
Sf LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
THE MISSOURI-MINDED are dis
posed to regard all the talk about
vitamins H\ith their usual skepticism.
And indeed the vitamins have eo

any number of

No wonder,
with ell the tail

people think, aa

The schools of
thought oo the

flats or one-rooms—and “sing the
blues.” They -went out to look for
work. They are going thy best way
they can—and thus have become the
new- hobo.
But my efforts to learn how men
and women are meeting Jti'-a conditior
proved that they have not become
tramps In the true sena2 of the word.
They do not permit themselves for a
moment to descend into the slough of
despon. They look on tomorrow as
another ay, whan some work r.igh;
be foun beyon the borizjn--if they
can just get there. And they usually
do.
Aa Example
As an example, let me describe twr
men whom I found In tbe jungles ai
Staples, Minn.: Tw 0 seamen tq whom
I referred in a previous article. Etch
Carried kit bags containing clean
clothes, cooking uteneils and some
food. They had contrived the plan of
buying utensils of four different sizes
so that they would fit into one an
other. They had cups that fitted in.
They carried a small broiler g:ate tc
put over their campfire, and a collap
sible coffee pot. Their knivec and
forks folded into pocket-knife handles.
Perhaps if I describe what I carried
I can give a better impression of what
the average “new hobo” carries with ;
him on these travels about the coun
try. I obtained a small, inexpensive
handbag. In it I stuffed clean clothes,
a bath towel, wash rag, two bars of
soap shaving equipment, tooth brush,
and paste and a clothes brush.
I found tfhat nearly man or
the road carried the same articles,
borne of them, however, prei’oireJ army
type knapsacks to handbig®; all car
ried the necessary articles to make
themselves presentable when asking;
for work. |
Out of this upheaval of restlessness
and the desire to find work has corne
some new slang which Is destined, T.
believe, to find its way into the ’ang-'
uage as have those words which have
come out of gangdom. It is just an-
dungeon with a lot of rnts and a lot
of vodka and finally composed an an
them which he Darned, "Do Ele
phants Exist 7" ■
(This department offers a prize for
the best suggestion as to what the
typical American’s subject would be >
My surgical friend was evklynOy
of the Russian's frame of mind. He
wondered whether vitamins exist.
The answer la they most certainly
do, and we have recently had trom
the American Medical Association a
completely authoritative statement
about the preeent status of know),
edge oo the subject. That informa
tion 1 Intend to present this week.
In general It may be said that vtta- •
mins are substances round in roods
which are necessary for health. Their
omission from the diet results in [
quite definite diseases: the omission
of any one of the vitamins results in •
the development of a special disease
peculiar to the deficiency of that
vitamin In the diet
The vitamins, so far as is at pres- ,
ent believed, have no uniform chem
istry. Some of them are associated 1
with protein food, some with rat, and
some with carbohydrates. Whits the ,
exact chemical atructure of none of
them Is known, they hsve been Iso

adaptaUoti to prevailk** ehndtttnoS.
Bosne Strangle Terms
For instance, the on the road
refers to taking at a house for some
thing to eat as “dinging.” flonklng
some pocket change from kind-heart*
ed persona on the stret is called “stem,
ming.” The hobo camp is the ■“jung
le«.’’ A newspaper used to spread on
the floor of the bo* car for sleeping
purposes is a “•ttiln blanket. ”
Towns are referred to es “tough”,
“hard,” “easy,” “alow freight,’ “good
dinging,” “stay away towns” and the
liko. Nearly every town in the coun
try is classified.
A “slo wfreight” town Is one where
it is possible ho get money and some
thing to eat hut it requires determlna*
tioo and stamina; in other words, don’t
let the first ten refusals dampen the
arbor.
A “stay away” town is one where the
police are quick to pick up the way
farer and throw him into jail.
“Can’t Be Licked”
The best description of the “New
hobo” which I heard fell from the lips
of a garage mechanic in the jungles at
Miles City, Mont. He said:
'All l can say is that these times
have done nothing mo-e than to
prove to Americans that tne/ cannot
be licked. There’s nothing to be
gained if we don’t take a chance, and
I for one. am taking it. I’ve got.a
wife and thre echildnsn back in 3t.
Louis. I’m going out and look for a
job so I can take care of them as a
man should.”
C. A. (Jessiel James, an old-time
railroad man, wh© makes the run be

on the NcwtJbem Pacific railroad,
3ummed up the situation for men in
a fe wterse words:
