& WELFARE WORKERS DSCUSS AL OG0 Young Hitch Hikers Here to Stay, Worker Says Chicago, Sept. 5 (UP)—A dainty, self-reliant miss in knickers, wait- ing by the roadside with thumb pointed toward the hills, typifies the new American girl problem, as described by Chicago social workers yesterday. “The ease of hitch-hiking and the! readiness with which other travelers | pass out money are the two factors | which are making hobos of girls,” sald Mrs. Edith Hennessey, exten- slon secretary of the Travelers' Aid society. ““We head off all we can and send them back to their homes, but if | they say they're over 18, we're help- less. Most of them know that, and 8o their carefree way, unmolested. “A typical girl hobo, her few trinkets tied up in a handkerchief, sald she was 19 and told us: ‘You don’t have to do anything for me. I can hitch-hike anywhere I want to go."” Mrs. Blanche Reno, of the Sal- vation Army, said the wandering girl problem has been increasing annually, “but this year has been the worst we've ever seen. “The .girls who drift into our quarters are not drug addicts and | disreputable women. The majority | are between 25 and 40, with no ties to hold them anywhere.” The professional girl drifter has established herself to stay, Mrs. Christine Cuppinger, superintendent ot the Chicago Woman's Shelter, agreed. Many, she added, travel| with their husbands. “One woman with three children stayed overnight with us,” said Mrs. Cuppinger. “The next day her hus- band arrived. He knew the ropes and had sent her ahead to get a night’s lodging.” Road Conditions in the State of Connecticut Road conditions and detours in the State of Connecticut made ne- cessary by highway construction, repairs and oiling announced by the Cannecticut Highway Department, as of September 3rd.
