New York.-The value of good ap.
pearance. polite manners and faith in
human nature has just been demon
strated by Charles Brown, Jr., young
Californian who Is taking course In
magazine writing at New York univer-
sity. Brown recently accomplished q
necessary journey from Fort Wayne,
Ind, to, New York city, distance of
nearly 1000 miles over the Lincoln
highway, riding practically the whole
journey in automobiles, at total
money expense of $1.55. The trip was
completed in just seven days.
According to the Students story, he
was stranded In Fort Wayne and was
without money only few days before
he was due In New York to enter upon
his course. While he was sitting near
water tank contemplating the chances
Of beating his way on a freight, he
saw an automobile speeding along the
road that paralleled the tracks. He
watched 1t pass out of sight; then his
inspiration came.
He counted his money and found
that he had $3.50. His next act was to.
visit barber shop and get a bath,
shave and haircut. He also invested
in clean shirt, collar, clothes brush
and box of shoe polish. He had his
hat cleaned and blocked and a new
band put on it. Seeking tailor, he
sat with blanket wrapped around him
while his clothes were being sponged
and pressed. All these expenditures
left him $1.65.
Found the Game Easy.
After walking along the Lincoln
highway to the outskirts of Fort Wayne
Brown saw his first chance coming
down the road. At the steering wheel
was a huge bulk Of a man with tor.
toise shell spectacles and coarse black
whiskers. As 1t turned out, he was

ment, threw open the door and Brown
got In. Then the student told his bene-
factor that he expected to reach the
metropolis in very short time by rid
ing in different automobiles. The doe
tor became so interested in the young
mans story that he ran ten miles be-
yond his patient.
That night Brown slept in a barn.
The next morning, after he had
groomed two horses, a farmland
brought him a plate Of fried ham and
potatoes. BY six o'clock he was rid
ing ON q milk truck. At nine O'clock
an insurance agent invited him to ride
in his car until noon. In the after
noon he rode with a schoolteacher
whose machine he had cranked. When
it grew too dark to travel he stopped
at a farmhouse and paid for his
nights lodging by helping to husk
corn.
Walked Only . Few Miles.
The longest ride he had In one auto
mobile was 125 miles. The shortest
ride was less than Us feet. This was

horseback riding and can 60 just as

horse, the better she enjoys the gall

They are past that spirit Of youthful

says:
"If the Consuls acts were due not TO
the personal initiative of the Ambassa- =

Spanards."

retary for Foreign Affairs told a Span
