JEFF DAVIS TO
GIVE UP TITLE
Of HOBO KING
Will Quit His Wanderings In
Another Year For Sake
of Daughter

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 16.-The
king Of hoboes. jeff Davis. now
in Philadelphia as the guest. of
the labor unions. is about through
with the road. He wants to 20
back to wife and mother. In Gin
cinnat. and intends to arrive home
on the silver anniversary Of his
wedding, October 20, 1926, never
more to leave. Jeff is the king Of
hoboes because he has travelled
farther than any other-some
$4,000 miles. He has been six
times around the world; he has pro-
posed some national legislation that
is now effective; he has visited all
sorts and conditions Of men. in
cluding rulers; and he now has an
automobile with balloon tires. But
he's going home and stay there.
Why?. Well. one Of the reasons
he assigns is the vow Of. his twenty
one-year-old daughter. Cora. who
declares she won't be married until
he comes home to stay. And then
he now regrets his wanderings.
He wishes now that the wander
lust had left him alone. But If you
look into Jeff's eyes you'll see that
he is tired. It's the old story of
the chicken coming home to roost.
And now that the wanderlust Is
dead within him, he wants to tell
boys to stay at home. He proposes
that the three forms Of govern.
ment, Federal, State and city,
should establish what he calls
national travel bureau. Its func.
ton would be to- provide summer
tours for boys bitten by the wan
derlust. jeff thinks that would be
cheaper than sending such boys to
reformatories and patching up their
misdeeds,
Although he will talk to the labor
unions this week, he also wants to
talk in the schools and tell the boys
that hoboing is not all it's cracked
up to be. The king Of hoboes be-
neves the boys will take his word
for 1t and not try to find out on
their own account. When Jeff was
thirteen, would have taken some
ones advice about staying home,
he answered:
D0L ACNCE went " SCIIOOA A4Iu
/ had a stepfather who tried to cut
my throat. It all came about
naturally. Yes, the boys do take my
word for it. I've talked in schools
where a half dozen boys ran away
each week. And I've gotten let
tiers saying, Jeff, it's all fine now :"
Well, anyway, the king of hoboes
plans to stay with his wife, his
seventyssix-year-old mother, his
daughter and his son, Elrey. When
he settles down he is going to write
for the Cincinnati papers. He's
going to be practical when he writes
his stories, he says, but he is also
going to make them humanity ~

tory. The specimens were taken
from water holes in widely separ.
ated parts of the desert, the

Although the fish, which are of
the minnow variety, come from
subterranean waters in the Sahara,
they are not blind, as is often the
case with fish which live in caves.
That fact, museum officials believe,
proves their arrival in the sub

paratively recent.
In their embryonic state the
fish are carried from one water
hole to another in Jumps of mud
which cling to the feet of birds,

"(2)-God made out Of nothing

them Is.
"(8)-Man's existence was brought
about by direct, creative acts OF
God, not by evolutions from lower
forms Of life.
"(4)-The world owes all its death
and suffering to the disobedience
Of Adam, and this fatal fall was
due to Eve who was persuaded to
eat Of the forbidden fruit by a
serpent.
"(5eAll men must rely upon the
atoning death of Christ, an object

salvation from sin, and those who
DO not, will for that reason suffer.
