STARTED ON TRIP
JUNE EIGHTEEN
Walked, Rode and Flew Part of the
Way-Arrested in One City for Wear
ing Breeches-Milked Cows, Pitched
Hay and Did Other Work.

NEW YORK, July 18.-By airplane
and by flivver, on horse and on foot,
Mrs John NJ. Franklin of Seattle made
her way from that city to New York,
thereby proving that the high cost of
travelling need not. keep one from trav-
cling. AT the same time she won a
$4,000 wager.
Mrs. Franklin left Seattle June IS
and arrived at Osborn Halls, 426 East
Twenty sixth street at 2.40 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon. Her expenses
were $2332.
Her trip was the result of a discus
sion of the high cost of travel. She
said that she could make the journey
from Seattle to New York on less than
one third the cost of travelling by train.
The two gentlemen who were present
said that she could not do it unless she
walked and added that she could not
walk that distance. She said she could
and would. at which the two gentlemen
put up $4,000 to be given to the Red
Cross for the benefit of disabled Red
Cross nurses returning from France.
Two days later Mrs. Franklin and
another woman started on the trip. Clad
in khaki shirt and breeches. with high
boots, Mrs Franklin shouldered her
pack and hit the Yellowstone trail for
the East.
The other woman struck through Cali
fornia and got as far as Odgen, Utah,
whence she returned to Seattle
Part of the agreement was that Mrs.
Franklin and her friend, to win the
wager were to accept no hospitality
without working for it.
"But,'' said Mrs. Franklin, Hthe
farmers would not accept payment, so |
had to work at-oh, did all sorts of
things-milked cows, pitched hay and
washed dishes
In Chicago she was invited to go to
Valparaiso, Ind, in an airplane. In Mis-
soula, Mont. she was arrested for wear
| ing men s clothes, but was released and
| told to run along TO New York.
aeM Mrs Franklin is 26 and pretty, and
saws she never felt better in her life.
She is graduate nurse of Bellevue
/ hospital, where she studied when she
was Miss Velma HAYNES.
| She is going to ride back to Seattle.
