PA YS VISIT TO MAIN LINE
Fall River, Mass., Youth, Taking Breathing Spell in Narberlh
Store, Before Starting on Tramp to San Francisco
LEDGER-PHILADELPIUA. MONDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1910
.Mr. Gordon Carlae. of Tall Itltcr,
.Mass., Is visiting on theslttln lilne.
And, let it be said nt once, the Main
Line lias neldom hml n more interesting
visitor. Narberth is the town having
the honor of being his temporary home,
hut the West and San Francisco nre
calling, nnd It is likely his stay in these
parts is temporary.
Gordon is eighteen years old. nnd nt
present is employed in a grocery store
in .Mirliortli It was there lie told of Ills
experiences this morning
"I didn't like New nuglnnd," he said.
"Too dead! And then, too, I wanted
to sec strange places nnd different peo
ple. I had been working in a grocery
store In Tall Iliver I wanted change
nnd nrietj, o on the 10th of November
I hnnllv dicided to pick up slicks
"I lefr town at 7 o'cloek in the morn
ing with .'1.00 in m pocket I hml
another ehnp with me when I started,
but he dropped out on I ho wa. loo
murli for him, I guess. We rode twen
ty live miles on the train to Providence,
ami thnl's all the transportation I've
had except pick-ups on tru(ls and
wagons.
107 Miles on Tirst Day
"Our first da)' jnurnev ennied us to
Hartford, u distame of 107 miles There
we slept in n railroad station, nnd the
next da) 'went on to New Virk. 12M
miles in a day, which is mv leeord mi
far
"We spent a night ,in New nrk in,
the Bowery, where we finally got lodg
ings by selling our oviconts and vests
It wasn t the nest ot notcis we una, uut
it was a place to lie down nnd we
took advantage of it. So my impres
sions of New York consist mostlv nf
('kinntnti n nml lin Itiiti atPt XA ll tnll it n
explored the next forenoon before taking j
a ferr.v for Jersey City.
"The next uight we slept In Bound)
Brook half the night in the depot nnd
half m a cheap hotel. Springfield nnd
Sumniervillc were our next stops, and It
was in the latter plncp that my friend
left me. (lues he decided he wasn't
cut out for cros-countT.v tramping. At
Hummerville I worked for several clays
in a waist factory and got enough money
to enrr) mo on to Princeton, then ncross
the Delaware and so down to Ardinorc.
Pour dins before Thnnksgivlng I went
lo work on a farm outside of Ardinorc
and tried the rurul life for n time, but
I wasn't satisfied with that. I wanted
to go on, and haven't stopped yet."
7 A. Gallagher, manager of the Nar
berth store, completes the talc of Gor
don's ndventures.
"He stopped in here the day after
Thanksgiving, looking pretty nearly nil
in. His clothes showed the effects of his
long tramp nnd hn was only making a
dollar n day on the farm, so he couldn't
get much on hand. He kucw the grocery
business, so I gave him n job and bc,'a
been working with me ever since. I find
him n verv excellent nnd conscientious
worker, but I doubt ift he stays with
me verv much longer."
At this point Gordon spoke for him
self, saving that he had found two other
boys willing to accompany him on his
further rambles.
"f want lo go all the war to San
Francisco," he announced, with a smile,
"and I figure I can do it. Not count
ing stops, but calculating on the rate of
i.peed I maintained from Fall Itiver
here. I believe I could no me wnoie trip
in thirt)-onc dnys, but, of course, I
shall use no such speed. I'll stop nnd
work for days and weeks hero nnd then,
nnd incidentally get a chance to sec the I
country. If autotrucks don't offer me I
a lift, I genernlly invite mjsclf una
jump on behind."
When he wns warned that he wsi
not likely to find companions who would
have courage and determination such
as he possessed for bis long hike, he
shrugged his shoulders.

The cost of education has taken n
most sensational flight In n skyward
direction, II, C. J,, figures nt the Uni

education itself is not u great deal more

expenses incident thereto have noted

students, however, bns lemnined vir
tually stagnant.
The notes to dads this venr nre more

greater quantity than ever recorded.

The United States Rubber Company
Announces a Grainless Rubber Compound
For Solid Truck Tires
The United States Rubber Company has now
perfected a method of compounding rubber by
means of which the grain is entirely eliminated.
For years rubber manufacturers have .been ex
perimenting to develop such a compound.
It is this "grain", in rubber similar to the grain
in lumber that is largely responsible for the split
ting and cracking of solid tires.
Rubber with a grain naturally splits or pulls
apart along the lines of the grain when subjected
to heavy load strain and road impact.
The new rubber compound without grain elim
inates entirely any tendency to split, because it
does away with the points where splitting starts.
It has no weak spots.
A solid tire made of grainless rubber compound
has none of the tread defects of the ordinary solid
truck tire.
This new method of producing a grainless rubber
compound, and this company's new process of
vulcanizing the rubber to the steel base, together
have produced a solid truck tire the exceptional
quality of which has already been proven by
performance.
This quality is backed by the good faith of the
United States Rubber Company, the oldest and larg
est rubber manufacturing company in the world.
United States Tires
are Good Tires
