THREE BOYS ARE
BACK AFTER HIKE
OVER THE WORLD

Three Atlanta boys are seriously
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of col
laborating on a descriptive work to
be entitled 1.-The Impecunious Globe
Trotters, or Through Europe on
Thirty Cents" They have just re-
turned from a two months tour
which, they firmly aver, lays over the
famous pilgrimages of the we'll
known Mr.. Cook like a country grid

And the whole trip cost them about
500 apiece.

Jimmy Calhoun, of 70 Highland View,
and Craig Mathews, of 172 Cypress
street, both of them prominent in
school affairs. With them on their
travels was Bob Gray, of Newport
a companion just prior to their de-
parture for the other side of the
big pond.
The trio of Atlanta boys left on
June 81, having decided to make the
little of the world. They wheedled
$50 apiece out of their parents, de-
parted for Newport News and after
two weeks of waiting, during which
time they worked in the shipyards,
shipped on a tramp steamer bound
for Antwerp, Belgium. 1t SO happen,

hundred head of cattle. SO John and
Jimmy and Craig and Bob found
themselves in attendance upon the

high seas and the boys insist that
the phrase is we'll chosen. Appetites
were decadent during most OF the
trip across, but the quartet bore up

of the Thames when Their cattle
boat finally bucked across the chan
mel and they spent a day or two IN
London, calling on the king but find

museum and the various other points

travels with great gusto. '"The rich
