HUNGER ENDS GIRLS ROMANCE
Travel on Freight Train and Live in
Woods, But Have to Get Food.

All ideas of romance were driven by
hunger from the minds OF two girls, who
came here in a freight train from WASH
ington, and they are now back at the
family flreslde. They are Eslie delivery
and Eileen Collily.
On arriving here few days ago, the
girls lived close to nature in woods In
the southwestern section of the city.
They finally went to a farm at Ford s
road and Mifflin street and asked for
food From their conversation the
farmer guessed that they had run away
from home, He informed the detective
bureau.
The police got in touch with the parents
of the girls, and they were taken home
last night In repentant mood.
