These 8Upsy tourists have become the topic ol discussion among automobilists and many local men who own ma- chines have had interesting exper- iences with their ‘‘pick-up” frienls 2long the road. Conditions Investigated. A Herald an was sent out the other cay to investigate conditions. 1le slarted for Hartford at 9:30 and at 2.35 two young men asked for a lift The boys were neatly dressed and showed signs of refinement. It turned out that they were students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technol- They had stopped all night the Y. M. C. A. here in New Britain. The day before, a truck picked them vp outside of Stamford and had brought them here. They were on their way to Montreal. On approaching West Hartford, aie of the wien, who was studying to be an architect, noticed a residence which interested him. He asked the diiver to stop, and both young me: &ot out of the machine. They both pulled out a sketch book and bezan making a drawing of the house. Th: books of both men had some 25 or 30 ~setches of houses which they nad made. Young Men Favored.

He was rewari- ed for his search and found a rather ragged looking stranger standing nea: the gate house.The stranger was asked if he wanted a lift, the look of sur- prise on his face told the story. He did, and in the conversation that fol iowed admitted that it was the fir1 time anybody had asked him if I wanted a lift. Every time he arked for a ride, the automobili “hought that he had some mischiet ' wished to accomplish. They w. invariably step on the gas and ahead, the stranger said. He w. used to riding the bumbers and th excitement appealed to him. When : :nan works his way from town 1c town on a freight train, he has some. | tning to be yroud of, he said. He Peats the railroad, and in the strang €rs own words, “what's the pleasurc of getting an automobile ride, yoa don’t cheat anybody. When you bun: 4 ride on the bumpers you've accom- piished something.” “A1” As Example. When the stranger had finshed his story, the writer told the inci- dent of “Al1” the reformed tramp who had married and settled dowa. He was wealthy and give his wife a limousine for a wedding present. His wife is kept constantly on the alert, now, seeing that her husband does not “bum” a ride somewhere on the car without her seeing him. Accord- ing to the tramp, the excitement of doing something which harms no- body, but still is against the rules, is what comprises the majority of thrills in a tramp’s life. All these thrills are lost, if an automobilist gives a ride to a stranger, the tramp added. A Marked Difference. Alter experiences with two typical cases, the reporter econcluded that there was a clear distinction line be- tween two classes of road knights, viz. the tramp craved excitement while the other younger men want- ed experience. The automobilists favor the younger men, while the ex- citement of bumming rides on the railroad still attracts the tramp.
