= actly ornamental, part of
ea-. the American scene? If
i. does, then you'd better change the
y reel, for the picture isn't exactly true
any more. For Hobo Americans isn't
the bird that he used to be.
First of all, it is interesting to note
that no one can tell Tor sure just how
the word "hobo" originated. There Is
one theory that it came from 'hoo
boy" long used in certain parts of
the country to designate all migratory
farm workers Another says that it
is from the call "Ho! Boyi" used by
tbeN early mail runners. The hobo
Elf, who has picturesque vocab-
uldry all Of his own, has contracted
the name to one syllable and simply
calls himself BIO. Be it known also,
that he has become class conscious
and, according to his caste system, the
three words used to describe him are
not synonymous. According. to his
definition, the hobo is migratory
worker; the tramp, migratory nom
worker; and the bum. stationary
nonwOrker.
1t is doubtful If the public would
make that fine distinction, but would
be inclined to lump them all together
as one class under the, generic name
of hoboes, q class that was brought
into being by the FIRST railroad and
that until the last few years was ever
Increasing. But now the Weary Will
iie' type, as depicted on the vaude-
vile stage and in the comic strips, is
almost extinct. He was a strong in
tividualist, responsible to no one but
to himself and his inward urge to $50
places and see things" The hobo,
1928 model, Is still pretty much an in
dividualist but he's also a member of
the International Brotherhood Welfare
association. He has organized and Is
trying to standardize his profession"
He Is seeking a definite status in the
modern order Of things. He holds
conventions, such as the one pictured
above. He goes to college. and, like
as not, carries diploma" In addi-
ton to being organized and standard
lied, he is also becoming motorized.
For the advent of the cheap car has
taken him off the freight trains. There
has developed new type Of hobo, di-
vided into three classes: whole fam
lilies gypsying about the country in
tin Iizzies''; young hoboes who have
their own cars and travel alone; and
the "hitch-hiker" who haunts the
paved roads and main highways, in
stead Of the railroads, and who
"bums" rides from passing motorists.
Perhaps no better Illustration of the
contrast between the hobo, old and new
style, can be shown than COMPARE

Of the old days. and. James Eads How,

Gray considers a husband the great
est burden an actress can have.
Miss Gray, who is here awaiting
action on her divorce suit against
Gil Boag, New York night club pro-
pfietor, Indignantly denied she
would Marry G. D. Krepps, her
manager, if she gets her divorce
from Boag. The suit will be tried

Miss Gray said. "1t has been such
a relief to go home after my work
and not to have to fear the entrance
ofa male brute and the terrifying
thought hes drunk again."
When asked if it were true that
Boag had helped her in her career
as a dancer and motion picture
actress, Miss Gray said:
"He only has lived off my earn
ings. His charges concerning my
morals are an accurate indication
of the elevation of his mind"
She criticised newspaper stories
which said she had gotten her start
as dancer in a honky-tonk here.
II did not start in a honky-tonk, !"
she said. "It was a nice theater.

HEARS SCHOOL PLEA
400 Rural Residents Ask
Relief by Purchase.

Hearing was held before County
School Superintendent Lee Swails
today on a petition of 400 Perry
township residents seeking to have
o. s. Pollard, township school trus-
tee, purchase the property of Will
liam H. and Charles Richardson
one-half mile north of Southport
on Madison road for a township
high school site.
Pollard, according to township
residents, made an effort to buy
) the Richardson property but the
owners would not sell. He then Sc :
lected property owned by j. S.
Puett, one-fourth of a mile west
of the road for the site. This was
objected to and petitioners OBJ
tanned a promise from the Richard
sons that they would sell.
According to Secretary of State
Frederick Schortemeier, represent
ing the demonstrators, the Puett
site. is not accessible by road and
$4,000 would have to be spent to
build a road. He stated that dam
gerous interurban crossing also
would have to be eliminated.
Schortemeier urged Swails to order
purchase of the Richardson prop
erty and direct immediate con-
struction of the school in order to
relieve the terrible portable situa-
ton at Southport high school,
where all Perry township students
are attending school.
Swails is expected to rule soon.
