Show WOMAN N LONG DISTANCE WALK. Chicago, Aug s14-. Mrs Clara Mitchell, Mit-chell, 12S East Superior street, started start-ed today to walk from Chicago to S.an Francisco, to demonstrate her faith in God and her confidence in man. She arrived in Chicago from New York, having walked the distance in thirty-five days. She will take a small knapsack only on this long Journey, and little If any money, relying rely-ing on tho generosity of the people on the way. Mrs. Mitchell declares that she does not depend on any diet other than a slass of milk to cover thirty miles. "I shall rely on my poise for protection," pro-tection," said Mrs. Mitchell before starting. "I shall rely on intuition for discretion, and I believe, with Professor Profes-sor James, that when motor action becomes a habit, it ceases to be an effort. I expect to reach San" Francisco Fran-cisco by Christmas." |
