own way except for transporta-
ton. In covering my first thou
sand miles, I spent just S. on
train or bus fares. The rest Of
the way I hitch-hiked.
OF course to the woman hitch
hiker, there is always the question
of men.
GeneraIzing, 7 might say that
I encounted more chlvalry in the
south than in the north, and more
sharp traders in small towns than
in cities.
A MOTHER generalization is
N that your professional gam
bier or racing man or tough" man
is my choice any day, next to a
minister, for a helping hand.
In any event, it is always pos
Sible to deal with man on the
basis of your own integrity. OF
course, at times you have to use
weapons, and none is so potent
as ridicule or a show of intellec-
tuality.
One man in New Orleans who
told me he was regional auditor
for an insurance concern, took me
to dinner, and piled me with queS-
tionS. After an hour, he put his
large damp hand affeCtionately
on mine.
What aresyou thinking Off" he
asked, fatuouSly.
you know what?" I gazed at
him earnestly. Can you answer
something I've been wanting to
know for monthS?"
"Of course, honey" he smiled.
VXTELL, tell me where all this
w public relief money is COM
ing from. AS an auditor, you I'M
derstand things like that. The ma
tional deficit this year was more
than seven billion dollars. And
they keep pouring it out. Now
what I want to know is, where
does all the money come from?"
His ardor wilted like flower in
a hailStorm.
One more generalization is that
the person who asks you the few
est questions usually does the most
for you. Your really big man or
woman is a person of quick and
accurate judgment and quick &C
ton.
Are these experiences democrat
izing? Well, your initiative suf-
fers, but not your character if you
had any to start.
1t is true you are compelled to
drift, for usually today turns out
to be a signboard pointing to to-
morrow. The job you hope for,
the news you are waiting for, is
always around the corner. There
is little satisfaction in today.
Somehow, to those who wait and
wander, it's always tomorrow.

Evidence spread on the COM
nittee records in the last two
weeks is among the most sensa-
tional ever disclosed by a Sena-
torial inquiry. 1t supports charges,
made for years, that munitions
makers disregard national boun-
diaries, national policies and ma
tional safety in carrying on their
business.
These are some of the things it
shows:
The Electric Boat Company, an
American concern, shares its
American submarine patents with
Vickers, Ltd, a British company
partly controlled by the British
government.
Before the war it shared them
with Whitehead Co., Ltd. of
Fiume, for use of Austria, Hun
gary, Greece and Rumania. AS a
result Germany secured them and
constructed the U-boatS which
preyed on American and allied
ships during the war.

When Sir Basil wanted to keep

vice-president of the Electric Boat
Company, urging him to arrange
with the United States state de-
partment that it instruct it's am
bassador in Spain-Mr. Alexander

i that gambling revenue is good, practical money
for relief purposes whereas New York. which is wide
y believed to be a very wicked city, really is quite
backward in it's vices. 1t has been only few years

liberal city There is no prejudice against

whatever they may be.
One evening in Baton Rouge distinguished
member of Huey Longs moral reform wing
pointed out of the most substantial citizens
in Huey's faction. He had made his fortune selling
furniture for the cribs and the elaborate
brothels over a period Of years. He had closed
monopoly in the trade and constantly repoSsess-
ing furniture when the buyers defaulted their in
staments, and selling it over again as new.
