They :. enter a city from unknown places is and with unknown destinations and ’, apply to community funds and social agencies for aid. sickness being the most common plea. The usual requests are for money, gasoline and oil or for repairs to their automobiles, officials say. They usually claim that they left home be- cause of labor conditions and are go. ing to some distant place to seek em- ployment, asking aid in getting to their destinations. Proposals to aid them by selling the automobile are aiways rejected by the “tourists.” records of Little Rock agencies show. Out of a large number of "stranded tourists" who I." have applied for aid here not one y. would consider parting with the au- tomobile. Tickets to their homes or to the stated destination are also not desired. "Most of the. ‘flivver tourists' that apply for aid are frauds and we do not propose to give them money or gasoline so as to pass them on to some other city." says C. H. Wick- ! ard, of the Little Rock Social Serva- ‘ . ice Exchange. “The Social Service Exchange will aid distressed tourists and will fur- nish them food and buy medicines when there is sickness. but will not encourage fraud by purchasing gas- oline or paying for reparrs. “The ‘flivver-hobo' is a serious problem that is nation-wide in its scope. These nomads. who are mod- ern tramps, wander aimlessly about. the country applying for charity and with no destination or purpose. They are pcrpetrating fraud on social agencies and community funds in many cities. Correspondence of this office shows that these nomads are applying at many cities in the mid- dle west and that most of them are ‘headed' west.’ “The greatest tragedy in conjunc- tion with the modern. hobo is the neglected and under-nourished chil- dren who are compelled to follow. They have no opportunity for schooling and their health is in most instances impaired by unnecessary exposure and lack of wholesome food. The compulsory school law “ ‘ es not affect the ‘flivver hobo‘ be- “use they are never stationary and are not registered in any city. “There seems to be no cure for the evil. When they apply for aid we must help the children or the . mothers who are ill or in need of 1 food. This has been done. on num- erous occasions but in each instance we have refused to buy gasoline and oil or to give money. This would not remedy the situation but would simply pass the responsibility to an- other city." i I m ASTORIA, Ore., Sept. 28.-(AP). The gasoline gypsy, itinerary work- er and auto tramp are finding the way hard and small town suckers few and far between in Oregon as a result of activities of social work» cm. Miss Marian Bowen of the lo- cal Red Cross recently reported this condition. A meeting of social workers was held in Portland in June and a cen- tral clearing house was established there. where reports on this class of people are gathered from social workers throughout Oregon and are given state-wide publicity.

Charles F. liinrvili_ hem] of the United States Weather llurruu. who says that any weather predictions for more than a fc'w days in advance are pure guess work, heads the con- servatives.

Dr. De Lury says that the number of sunspota during the next few years will be the greatest in 262 years. . in the Dominion'observatory are charts showing that an increasing number of sunspots during the pe- riod from 1784 to 1869 had these re- suits: Increased ralnfall and low temper: atures. Greater growth of the California redwood trees. Birds left for the South earlier. Commodity prices increased. indi- cating crop failures. The curves on the charts show that these conditions were most pro- nounced about 1816, or Just after sunspots were most frequent. “l roams-com POLICE HAD TIP RUM-WASTO BE LANDED HERE Chief Pennington and Federal Men on Watch-Dou'bts Stamford Report W A strict watch is being kept upon the Norwnlk shores to prevent the landing of liquor. Chief of Police William R. Penn- ingtOn stated today that rum run- ners hadn't landed a. cargo in local waters recently. Local police and Federal Agents have been watching the Norwalk shore during the past two weeks ex- pecting that an effort would be made to land liquor here. Chief Pennington doubts the re. port coming from Stamford that 250 cases of Scotch whiskey and six bar- rels of Scotch malt had been landed either at Wilson Point or Tokeneke. Local police received a tip about two weeks ago that a cargo of ii- quor was going to be landed near here. Since then they have been watching for it.
