GIRL HlKZERS OF
BOSTON SEEING
VALLEY SIGHTS

Thre" Young women who are hik-
ing across the country from Boston
visited the Pres soffica this morn
ing to express their appreciation at
being i'll California, having arrived
in this state Yesterday.
According to Jean Heath, the
leader of the trio, they left Bos-
ton on April l, 1924 (not an April
fool story she said) and Travelled
down the Atlantic Coast, through
the southern states, and into Cali
fornia by way of Texas, New MeXi
60 and Arizona. They expect to
return to Boston within the next
few months.
Hiking is evidently hard on shoes
Miss Heath stating she has worn
out nine pairs OF high boots in the
course of the trip, while one of her
companions, Rose Marie Pinach,
has used up 10 pairs. Miss Louise
podd is the third member of the
party. A fourth girl Dolly Gilman,
is in San Diego, having preceded to
that city ahead of the others.
The long hike was taken because
of their health, the girls said, and
each of them is now Il robust dam
sci, able to take care of herself in
any capacity.
From the valley they will go to
San Diego, thence up the coast to
Portland, returning to Los Angeles
and from there will head for tho
east. These present plans may be
changed. Miss Heath said, fer Cali
forHia has made such an enjoy
able impression on them that they
may become adopted daughters of
the Golden State, and forever for
sake the "bean metropolis.
