tecting themselves from suits for damages by hitch-hlkers in case of accidents. In addition, there fs an ever-present fear, well justl- fled, by news articles from all parts of the country, that the "thumber" may be Q criminal whose intent in begging . ride is to escape detection by the police or to take advantage of his motoring host by theft of his car or personal belongings. One of the lately little lamented public en- emies No. 1 evaded G-men and local police for weeks and weeks by resOrting to hitch linking, and using befrlendlng motorists as effective camouflage In his travels froEi state to state.
 If individual motor owners and drivers would follow the practice of the heads of business concerns who have labeled their many ve- hicles with "NO Riders" signs and who have instructed their em- ployes not to pick up hitch- mixers, the financial affairs of transit companies would be in much bet- ter shape than they actually are, the company executives say. Every fare lost today counts heavily and trolleys and busses would bring In much more rev- enue if the spirit of fairness were observed by all motorists.
 Still another thought which the 1notorlst should carry, 1t is stated, Is that taking revenue from the transit company makes it more and more difficult for the company to maintain It's facilities and # the facilities on his par- ticular line have to be abandoned other members of his family who must patr0nlze that line when he Is using his car will suffer.
