FLORIDA FULL OF DRIFTERS (Continued From Page* 1) which were not so busy and had time to clean up. What happens to those who drift into vagrancy? Some towns have adopted the plan lof giving the auto tourists enough gas to take them to the next town —anything to get them away. Tourists will not sell their cars. Miss Wilkins said, because that is their last hope of escape from the heat and the misery. Hundreds leg along the roadside. I was stopped several times between Miami and Palm Beach by little children and adolescent girls saying their parents had lost their money or spent it and wouldn’t I please give them to buy sandwiches and gasoline. The parents never do the begging. It is easier to let the children do it.

The effect of this on the cihld, social workers say, is bad. Indeed, hundreds of boys have landed in Florida jails or stockades because they have tried to steal their way back home. I talked with two at Tampa, one just about to enter Harvard, the other still in Exeter. They had been picked up for vagrancy, served two thirty-day sentences and were too proud to tell their parents their predicament. They had just got out and were planning to ship on a freighter outbound to hide their shame. It was hard to convince them they should go back to parents and school. Hundreds of Tramps Hundreds of persons who hit the rainbow trail in ignorance of its dangers have become tramps and crooks, a menace to society. “The hardest to deal with,” Judge F. B. Stoneman, Miami, said, “are those who won’t labor but want white-collar jobs. There is plenty of room for laborers, but not much for the others.” Florida is hard on the drifter. For years her swamps were hide-outs for outlaws from the North. Her geographical posjtion made her the wintering place for hoboes of every description. Necessity of striking terror into these people was the reason some years ago that men taken in the toils of the law were sometimes given as virtual slaves to the turpentine and lumber camps where work was forced at the end of a rawhide lash. With this as a background, Florida's present method of handling vagrants, it may be imagined, is not gentle. Work on Roads “There’s too much road work to be done to let them run loose,” said D. B. York, Tampa’s police chief. “We go through the parks every day and cull out the vags. If they can’t account for themselves in a hurry, they go to the stockade.” Once on the gang working under the broiling sun, a man will do almost anything to keep from going back. The country folk are in terror constantly because they fear these vagrants, either escaped or released from the gang?, will overrun their

places and steal their goods as they try to make their way north. The road gang is one of the State’s chief tax-reducing assets. F. O. Miller, representative from Du Vail Company, said in a public report he estimated the average value of a gang of 1,000 convicts at $500,000 a year. Each county is keen on getting as much of this free labor as possible. See that you have plenty of money if you go to Florida, and that nobody steals it, or you may find yourself working for the State. A jail reform movement is now on throughout the State headed by the women’s organizations. The Miami papers were recently full of revelations by women’s clubs showing that the cells or stockades in the county jail were insanitary, women prisoners were put in cells next to insane negroes, many of
