GIRLS BACK AFTER \ 15,000 MILE HIKE Tanned Quartette Found Jobs All' f Orer Country?Liked California Best. New York.?Tanned of face, bobbed hair and stepping high, with r peaks slung over shoulders, four c girls "arrived in New York yester- j j day leaving the dust of 15,000 1 miles of travel behind them. The foursome left here May 20 last year, ( and bring back the message that i there are no dangers to women who [I are not looking for trouble. ji rne lour are Deaince v/uucu, * Hannah Davis, Anna Ginsberg and ] Bertha Rogovin. They went from < New York out to the Pacific coast by t a northern rout skirted up and down ] the-Western coast, hiking homeward J by a southern trail, seeing nearly everything there is to be seen in ! these United States. They rode by i rail only 60 miles and that only when they were headed off by a A gizzard in California. Every other 1 inile they hiked, or asked rides from ( friendly motorists. 1 "Dangers," said Miss Davis, when the four girls were interviewed yes- I ' trday at Miss Cohen's home, 2711 i Creston Avenue, "why, there are none. They are fairy tales which ^ city girls are 'brought up to believe \ lurk just on the other side of the lo- t calmountain. All one needs to do isj] to keep her head and not iook zor 3 trouble. There is no danger from men, and least of all from the cow- \ punchers and rangers. We were j never annoyed or approached in any r other, than a friendly manner. If we had picked out our trail only through c the pink tea districts this would not r be significant. But we went thrdugh ? the oil fields of Texas, the black belt ? of tiie South, and the mining dis- t tricts of Mexico, which pepple warn- j ;>- . ed us against. We advise all girls to t take a trip like ours. Don't go by c v / < motor or rail. An aytomfoile tour never woud have brought us the real = joy of our journey, never have en- s able us to have the sensaation of the f ,. road. e i. "We never knew how far we ( could make in a day or where we \ would be twenty-four hours ahead; * roup we always- maae a town Dy j v nightfall, \yhere we 'put up usually i at a hotel. People everywhere arcjg good about picking you ,up and giv- r ing you a lift. We never separated, I but stuck together from the day we i left until today. Wh|a an automo-,( bile would stop which had not room a for all, we would give our thanks t and say we preferred to walk." ; The four hikers were well.fitted; for their journey. They have all at-, tended Cornell University and have * taken special courses at Columbia. I They all had stenographic as well r as clerical experience, and each of 8 them gave up a position in this city C when they started on their bike last ~ ... '? summer. " \ When they reached the Pacific they took a side cut up into Canada v and British Columbia. Then they.S "* " s retraced their steps to San Francis- ^ co, which they liked so much that they remained there for six months ^ Then they headed south. They dipped into Mexico, crossed the Mojave e Desert, came through Arizona, northward to Colorado, back to Tex- c as, on to New Orleans, through the 0 Gulf States and northward, crossing 1 Alabama, Georgia and the Caro- n linas, to Washington. And* then j through Philadelphia on their last r stretch home. Miss Cohen had this to say re- v % garding the trip and how best to se-j / ' cure jobs. "If a girl knows how to! get along in New York she can get; * along in any other village or city of 1 the country. We took the trip mere-!1 ly because we thought it would be ! good fun and we wanted to see all, of our country.' We didn't have, money enougn to see it m xne 021 luxe fashion. We knew we would' have to work; and how glad we are now that we did travel under these conditions. j "We had no pull anywhere in ting jabs. The first thing we would' do upon arriving at a town of any size was to call upon the typist agencies. All of us vare expert steno-, graphers. Failing to get work in this line we would get the daily town papers and look through the 'help; want ads,' or call at the Y. W. C. j A.'s. We would naturally look for. positions in all sections which would 1 pay the mpst money. We took jobs packing apples, in printing offices, and during the Christmas holidays we all got positions in department stores. We found on all sides people j i : * 1 ' ' V. ;V \? VORLD SERIES BEGINS | C SIXTEENTH OF OCTOBER j I line Game* To Be Played to Decide ? National Championship?New Price* Announced. Chicago, Sept. 22.?The worlds seies will start October 5, it was de- \ :ided today, the first game being 1 )layed on the home grounds of the i National League team. i In the event either Pittsburgh or I Cleveland should finish first two se- < ies of games will be played in the < National League city, the next two i n the American League town, and so )n. Both New York teams are at ] present leading the leagues. The J' ietails of the series were arranged ;oday at a meeting of the league ] presidents with Judge Kenesaw M. ] jandis, baseball commissioner. President John Heydler, of the 1 National, won the toss and the first jame for his league. Leslie O'Connor, secretary to 1 fudge Landis, tossed the coin nad ? 3an Johnson, president of the Am- < irican League called "heads." It I ell "tails." The commissioner and the league i residents fixed the prices for the se- ' ies at from $1 to $6. < If one or both New York teams 1 vin the prices will be $1 in the ] rieachers, $3 for unreserved seats in 1 he upper grandstand and $5 for > ower grandstand reservations and 11 !6 in the boxes. 1 In the event Cleveland wins boxes rill be $6} reservations $4 and $5; j javillion seats $2 and general ad- < nission $1. '1 Nine games may be played, it was j lecided, the series going to the win- i ler of five. If a ninth game is playid, and one of the teams outside of tfew York is in the series, a coin will ] >e tossed to decide the city. If both , tew York teams are in the series -j hey will move after the eighth , rame to the other grounds. \ The prices decided on show a conliderable reduction in the cheaper i eats. Bleacher seats in New York ormerly have sold at $2 as comparid to $1 for this year, while at Cleveland last year pavilion seats | >rought instead of the $2 in to; ' lay's scale; and general admission ; vas $2 instead of $1. . ] Besides Judge Landis and the lea- \ rae president, those present at the j neeting included Colonel Jacob r tuppert and Ed Barrow, representing t^he New York Yankees; and ^ Charles A.

I The Bulloch Times, seemingly half >ologetic for the inroads that waterelons have made on the cotton crop that county, nevertheless is forced make the admission that twelve indred carloads of .melons have ien shipped from that county and at the melon shipments have ought in approximately $200,000. le melons brought as high as $400 car, and brought it in at a time ! ien nothing else was selling and | >ney was very tight. Moreover, did t interfere with the cotton crop, d something else can now be grown the land. The following is an exict from The Times article: "It is a conservative estimate that elve hundred carloads of melons ve been shipped out of the county, le prices, better than in former ars, have ranged as high as $400 r car and downward, the average ing not less than $175. Take these ures as a basis, and the income >m the melon crop will approximate 00.000. That doesn't even rival the some from cotton, but it has been big stimulus to business at a sea1, which otherwise would have been 11. Money from the melon crop has ne to pay debts and to pay for new srehandise; it has gone into the nks and into general circulation. v ii * -tl ... 1^.. en xnose sections 01 uie cuuuu; lere melons were not grown have en helped by the crop."
