The name was applied to the traveling and seasonal workers in the West. It originated shortly before 1890 and there are a number of possible explanations of its origin, says a writer in the Detroit News. .. One is that the term arose from the friendly salutation of the road, "Ho, Boy" or "Hello, Boy." Another is that mail carriers on the Oregon Shore Line railroad in the eighties used to call "Ho, boy" when delivering mail. These mail carriers came to be called Hoboys and later, those traveling along the tracks but not carrying mail were also called Hoboys or Hobos. Other derivations from "Hoboken, homo bonus, hautboy, homeward bound," as given in various authorities seem One authority's distinction between the tramp bum and hobo was: "The hobo works and wanders, the tramp dreams and wanders, the bum drinks and ar.Jti3."'

Smith, University of California psychiatrist. Dr. Smith based his statement on requests for assistance made to him by 500 students of the university. He said that inferiority complexes harass 25 per cent of the men students entering the institution. Some of the problems presented to him by students at the time of taking entrance physical examinations, he revealed, included: Lack lack of interest of in the opposite sex, monetary worries, inability to concentrate, and inclination to daydream. Dr. Smith said that a lack of balanced interests might be responsible for most of the students' troubles. He pointed out that "many students have no social life, no hobbies, no particular friends and no amusements. Their whole life consists of study, classes, three meals and sleep. Mental disturbances under these conditions are extremely likely." Dr. Smith at the same time praised men students for their "honesty in presenting their difficulties."

The season's first cold wave was not enough to force old Barney, a mongrel hound, to give up the daily vigil he has kept at the doorstep of his master, Msgr. Thomas E. Quirk, mountain priest who was buried last Sep- tember 15. Miss Katherine McCuddon, young teacher in the Loveberry school, eight miles from here, revealed to day that old Barney, long a com panion of the priest, had kept watch on the porch of the abandoned rectory on Love-berridge constantly for three months. Miss McCuddon said she took food to the dog every day. Her school is in sight of St. Bernard's church, which was part of Msgr. Quirk's charge. On the day the priest was buried, old Barney walked slowly to his grave, stayed for a moment, and returned to the rectory. Neighbors tried to make a home for the dog, Once he chewed a rope in two and another time he dug out of a pen to get back. Msgr. Quirk used to take pleasure in telling Btories of his dog and his horse, Price. He told how old Barney would follow him for miles on his visits to the sick or while he was making his mountain circuit, sometimes through the snow. The dog always would greet his master gleefully at the door after a mass. ninety-three-year-o- ld ry Crosses Sunflower and String Beans in Test Tamworth, N. H.
