11 SOCIAL EVENTS Flatbush Boys "Hike From Boston in Day and a Half watching the shore line ss you walk. Our feet were Just beginning to register blisters, the sun was hot and so were we, and motors were not In sight. In brief, It was our ebb Hut we had something to look forward to lunch. All along the road signs were posted: "Stop to I)lne at Saunderstown." We agreed that Snunderstown must be quite a place. Upon arrival there our hopes were not only smashed, but were annihilated.

About 15 houses and a genernl store were all of the town we could see. I hope there was more than that. We had lunch ginger ale and doughnuts at the general store, and "moseyed" on. We reached New Ixndon In the afternoon, and New Haven at night. We put up at an apartment hotel.

When the clerk said "six dollars," It was not 'our Idea of bumming our way home. Fortunately Charlie was banker, so we stayed. The bath and the beds were worth mnny times $6, and we'll wager they spent many times six Iron men getting the towels clean. We were in bed at 11:58 and when we started nd all about Our trip. It turned out that knew one.

With a "Glad to help you out." the coliee chauffeur left us at the subway entrance of 69th at. We were so fired and happy to get on that subway hat we Just iat there and grinned rn-tentedly all the way home. Chinese Embroidery Washington. Aug. 19 (By the Aaao-elated Press) Ancient Chinese embroidery work, far surpassing the finest of the present time, and which must have been done with a tiny needle much smaller than ever seen now, was on exhibition In Waahlng-ton recently.

So fine is the work that the finest details of the features of rolled along through the rocky New England foothills. Hut this very amiable old gentleman's route soon from the main highway, so we left him with morale high at North Attliihoro. We had not Rone I'jir before we were grunted another rlrle. Lift followed lift until we found nurselver neur Pnwtucket, K. I.

There we lo-rated the car tracks and took the trolley Into Proviilenre. When we hail walked half a mile or more In the shade of the towering elms which abound In Providence, we wigwagged a little something on four wheels coming down the road and It slowed down. "Going towards Westerly?" we chorused. The driver nodded and berUoned to us to get In. Sitting on each other with long legs entwined about the emergency brake and gear, Charlie and I settled down ns well as canned sardines can.

"Only going ns far an the driver explained, but that was more than twenty miles which added a lot to our mileage. Every fifteen or twenty minutes we would have to "unmix" ourselves and stretch our sleepy members, but never Smart Russian Peasants Kazan, July 26 The Russian peasant, upon intimate contact, has been found to be not so Illiterate or so stupid as It has been tha habit to represent him. While he may not always be able to read, he possesses a natural shrewdness and Intelligence which stand him in good stead. A practical common sense is often atood substitute for book learning. American Relief Administration workers have had much to do with the Russian peasant In their various activities In these lands, and have come to regard him with respect.

"How is It," one of the Russian interpreters was asked, "that although these peasants cannot read and write they seem to be able to make accurate computations and to master the Intricacies of tha Russian currency? They seem to understand prrfectly even the new bank notes In which those marked 100 rubles equal those put out last year which were worth 1,000,000. "They appreciate the value of stupidity," was the answer. "They like to appear sumple, more simple than they are. It Is partly a pose with them, but It hat Its practical side, too. They appear guileless and manage to drive a good bargain because their very cullelessness allays the suspicion ot the person with whom they are dealing.

"I hand them a 1,000,000 ruble note. 'What is this 7 they ask. I tell them that It is a million. They accept it. But try handing them a 100,000 ruble note and say that it is a million.

They will shake their heads. You may point out that It has many ciphers following the figure. They will not accept It. you persist, 'you cannot read, why do you think I am lying to you 'But I have never seen that sort of a million they answer and they will not take it. "You take a paper to a peasant to be signed.

He looks at It and asks what it Is all about. You read it to him. He nods, but protests that he cannot write. 'Let someone else write my name on he says, and later he may repudiate the agreement, saying that he never Signed It and did not even know what it contained. "I believe that many of them who can both read and write are careful to conceal that knowledge, believing that It will be to their advantage to do so.

They are not so stupid as they appear." Here is a story of a hike of two Harvard undergraduates from Boston to Brooklyn in a day and a half. The narrative was written by Kenneth B. Lucas, of 1476 Glenwood road, Flat-bush, who, with a classmate and chum, Charles G. Lawrence of 52 Waldorf Court, Flatbush. set out from Cambridge at 5:30 of a Friday morning and arrived In New York the next day at 1:30 p.

m. Both are Juniors at Harvard. By Kenneth I. I.ucas. set, Ken?" as Charlie opened the door of the study.

"Pretty near. Be with you in a minute. Just got to tie up this bundle." Such were our early morning greetings on the day we started to "bum" our Way home from college. "Let's go!" and we were off to the Waldorf to get breakfast before taking departure from Cambridge for Brooklyn. We ate heartily because we were not sure when we'd eat again.

Now we really "were oft." Dudley stroct car. "square wheels" and everything, to the Fenway was our first means of locomotion? There we struck out on foot. The early sun it was then about 7:16 cast its golden shadow over the low Boston buildings and made crystal-like the sparkling dow on the grass. Traffic was light, but we were fortunate enough to recrlve several "boosts" from those little cars now seen everywhere and which we came to appreciate more and more before we reached Manhattan. One of IJiese was driven by a very congenial mechanic on his way to worn.

He was very pleasant and took us as fsr as Forest Hills and left us to hop through Ellis and out past Norwood. After a brief dearth of lifts and the consequent hike, we were lucky to bo "picked up" by an elderly gentleman in a sedan. He was very entertaining and made our ride most enjoyable. He had twp sons, one of whom had graduated from Dartmouth about 1914. Himself long a resident of New England, he pointed out many Interesting and beautiful spots while we Don did we stop.

(Hi we rumbled, "the three We told him our story as to point of departure, destination and home town. He In turn touched on every topic possible. Ills advice ns to signaling ears proved very beneficial to ns. He. urged us to flag a car when It was fifty or seventy-five yards sway, for two reasons, first, to enable the driver to "size you and second, to slow down if he cares to give you a ride When his stories ended, we found ourselves In Wlekford.

The driver told ns that part of the Tower HIM rond direct from Wlekford to Wakefield was being repaired and we had better take the, detour around through Hamilton, Snunderstown and Nnrra-gansett. We stopped at Wlekford while our running mate bought some bait for his fishing trip that afternoon. Then we were off again for a short ride down the road to Hamilton, where our pilot dropped us. At that point began the longest hike of the trip. We.

were. walking along the shore road with the water In view all the time, and If anything makes you think you are on a treadmill it Is OtH asleep at midnight, not to wnken until rolled at 7 Saturday morning. With lots of new life we left the hotel, had breakfast at a "quick lunch" and were walking out of New Hnvep by 8:30. The weather was Ideal with a bright sun and a cool breeze. Almost immediately a fellow picked us up and carried us as far as South-port.

He was a road engineer In charge of reconstructing part of the rond over which we were to pass. A very human chap and very entertain ing. Another lift took us Into Brldge-porti whcjre we had to do a little walking to get through the city. More lifts from' flivver delivery trucks, small touring cars and regular flivvers brought ns down through the wonderfully shaded Norwalk, Stamford and South Beach, with thelf wide avenues canopied hy drooping elms. Farthei on, Just above Rye, we espied a black Cadillac limousine with only the chauffeur In it.

The green New license raised, our hopes. wigwagged anxiously and he sent our stock up 100 points higher when he slowed down, opened the rear door and snld "Hop In." We were in be. fore he had finished talking. And such a car! It wos fitted out with the latest and most complete equipment that a man or woman of leisure could ask for. But there WE sat, big shoes, old clothes and our kits if you could call a clean shirt, tooth brush and paste, shaving set and raincoat a kit.

The chauffeur asked how far we were going. We nnswered "New York."

The first thing you will notice about the car is the new and distinctive beauty which Dodge Brothers have brought to it. The cowl is higher and more graceful.

The radiator is more dashingly shaped. A new smartness and distinction of line is obvious from end to end. The upholstery is done in genuine mohair velvet of the finest quality. Rear arm rests and deep, wide seats contribute to the comfort of riding. The fittings and trimmings are in excellent taste, and include nickeled window regulators, etched dome light, horsehair carpets, body heater, windshield cleaner, Yale door locks and weather-stripped doors and windows.

Eighteen coats of paint and varnish, hand-applied over an equal number of days, account for the exquisite finish of the exterior. Steel disc wheels (with cord tires) harmonize with the lines of the body and screen the under pats of the chassis. Yet in spite of its ample and inviting luxury, owners will tell you that the cost of running the car is exceptionally low. BISHOP, McCORMICK 1221 BEDFORD AVENUE Brooklyn, N. Y..
