ports are granted them officially. but
they are furnished with proper papers
for sums ranging from $40 to 500. As
these refugees are poor, they are often
obliged to spend all but their travel
ing expenses for vises.
Another form Of swindle results
from the general European laws
against taking large sums Of silver,
gold or paper money Of a given coun-
try into another.
To prevent such trafTic governments
place officials at frontiers, who de-
mand of each traveller the sum Of for
eign cash on his Herson. If he declares
anything above the equivalent of $40,
or some such modest sum, 1t is taken
and receipt given which he may cash
in money Of the country on leaving it.
Sometimes the inspector merely peck
cts the money, or will take a bride to
let the traveller proceed with all his
cash.
Americans of experience have
adopted the plan Of carrying only
checks or drafts and thus avoid this
annoyance.
The oldest form Of travel swindle
takes the form Of trains stopping due
to lack Of coal. Then the train crew
plays cards until the passengers take
up collection with which to buy coal.
This swindle has been improved upon.
An official takes up tickets and then
second official, who denounces the first
one as fraud. makes the passengers
pay a second time.

Kentucky, Land Of Tomorrow"

Historians trace the name of Ken

Some OF the origins used for the name
are Meadow Lands" AT the Head of

Ground" Historically. it is known
that the Iroquois conquered the Ohio
valley, and either expelled or exter-
minated the tribes that dwelt therein.
The conquerors set the Wyandots to
rule the territory for them. The rea-
son was that they had beheld the ruin
OF the tribes in the eastern part OF
the country at the hands of the white
settlers, and they wanted a haven OF
refuge to which they could resort.
This reserved land they called the
Land of Tomorrow"-that is, the
land in which they intended to live
