ONE PICKED UP $60 AN HOUR Roy P. Gates, Executive of the Joint Application Bureau of the Charity Organization Society, Declares He Knows of One Mendicant Who Has Qood Home in Suburbs and Com mutes to His Business Daily and Keeps ^‘Profession" a Secret. Jobs in general may be scarcer than usual, but the wlly-minded beggars who “work” Xew York are reported to l)e doins well that their professicm is taking in recruits at an unparal leled rate. One geinIiMimn who nightly pours'' hard-luck stories into tlie ears of passer.s-by Is said to own a country place, kept up by the cash his appeals bring in. Another professional pan handler is credited with having one of the best-stocked liquor cellars in New York. These, of course, are pro fessional men who have made a pro found study of the business of getting somethng f(»r nothing. The nmn who is actually suffering from liunger, <»r is facing the prospects of “carrying the banner” all night for tlie lack of the price of a bed, cannot tell so convincing a story as a gentle man lives In the c«mntry and lias his money in the l»ank. Especially in the Times square district, according to reports issued by the New York joint application bureau of the Cliar- ity Organization society and by the Federation of .Tewish Charities, pro- fessi»)nal beggary Jias increased until it is carried on today on a greater scale than ever before. Pick Up C€Cr an Hour. It is perfectly e;i.sy for an active beggar or panhantller to earn $5 an hour or more, whereas earnings up to .560 an hour have been reported, according to Uoy I*. Gates, the ex ecutive of the Joint application bureau, who is c< nsidered to be the greatest authority on “panhandling” in this country. To test begging conditions and to estimate the number of professitm- uls at work. Mr. Gates frequently does a little “panhandling” himself. At a recent experiment at Herald Square he collected $3.32 in 40 min utes. Conditions are nearly the same in other big cities, according to Mr. Oates, who on a visit to B(»ston “pan handled” for an hour on one corner and picked up .$5.31. Beggar Has Country Home. “I know one professional who has u good home in the country and com- nnjtes daily,” said Mr. (Jates. “1 do not believe that his business is known where he lives. After trying out many (>ccui)ations he found begging the most profitable and stuck to it. I am not sutticiently in his confidence to linow just what his metho<ls are. but I ihink he makes changes in his clothes in the morning when he arrives here :md before he returns to his coimtry lionie, where he is apparently •^ re garded as a solid and substantial ■itizen. “I know a one-legged beggar who works the South ferry district who has one of the best-stocked liquor cellars in New York.” “Victims” of Disasters. Times Square now imrbors the elite of the mendicants of the East, who have applied modern publicity methods to their professions. Most of them got I out of the hospital after being In j some disaster which has figured largely in the news. “The great amount of begging to day is due, of course, to widespread unemployment. During times wlien there was plenty of employment the beggar was unpopular. “The case of the blind is some what different, because few can do any real work. A very large per centage of the blind beggars turn out to have pretty good eyesight wlien they are inve.;tigated. The case Is also different, of course, with those hoi)elessly crippled. Of the crippled l)eggars very few are World war veterans, though a number wear pants of military uniforms.” j Holds World's Record. I Tlie world's record for fast beg- I ging is believed to l)e held by Thomas i Campbell, who lost an arm in a rail road accident and raided Times Square crowds in khaki and a soldier’s hat, with a row of medals across his breast. He was arresteil and’found weighted witli several pounds of pennies, nickels :ind s”.vers and a sheaf of bills. He confessed he had made $G0 in one hour. Campbell's methods were 1 UKMiue. He went through a Times i S<jiiare crowd as a crack half-back “oe-i through an open field, thrust ing the stump of an arm into face iutei- face, hohling his other hand open and excianning: ‘•Yon innierstand. Come across!” His one good hand was hardly fast enough to take in the money thrust at him. LUil VOLCANOES NEAR SOUTHERN GftUFORNlA Bulletin Issued by National Geo graphic Society Explains Just What They Are. Recent eruption of mud volcanoes in the edge of Mexico near the southern California line as reported from El Centro, California, has introduced these “little brothers of Vesuvius” to some persons for the first time, and may have left the impression that this portion of the country is subject to major volcanic outbreaks. A bulletin issued from the Washington head quarters of the National Geographic society explains just what mud vol canoes are and tells something of their wide distribution around the world. “The term ‘volcano’ is iq, a way a misnomer for these little mounds of boiling mud—a fact that is recognized sometimes by calling them ‘mud gey sers,’ ” says the bulletin. “Most of them, in the matter of size, bear to true volcanoes the relation of the proverbial molehill to the mountain. And while ‘volcano,’ with the picture that it brings up of demolished and buried cities, naturally inspires some thing of awe, ‘mud volcanoes,’ when they are not mildly interesting na tural phenomena, are little more than nuisances. “Like geysers, mud volcanoes are usually found In regions that have been subject to true volcanic action within recent geologic times. But this is not always true; and decent’ In this sense may mean many thou sands of years. In the case of gey sers, water gathers in fissures, a por tion of whose walls are hot, steam forms after a time and the c»)lumn of water is expelled. In the case of mud volcanoes, a much smaller quantity of water is involved. It is usually turned completely into steam which forces its way through fine material and forms hot n>ud. In typical mud volcanoes, the soft mud is forced out with little violence through the top of a small moimd and flows down over the sides. Occasionally, however, a heavy column of mud traps the steam for a con siderable period, which is ended by a geyser-like eruption tliat may throw the soft nmterial and chunks of the hardened cone high in tlie air. “Mud volcanoes are much more com mon than geysers. The only places in which geysers exist In appreciable numbers are the Yellowstone National Park—the largest and most important geyser region in the world—Iceland, the Malay archipelago, and the North Island of New Zealand. But mud vol canoes are scattered around the world. To the eastward they are first en countered in Ireland. In Europe they are found in Sicily, the mainland of Italy and the Russian Crimea; in Asia they occur at Baku, on islands in the Bay of Bengal and on the Malay Archipelago; farther East they are found in New Zealand. In the Wes tern Hemisphere they are found in Colombia^ In the Yellowstone Park, just south of the Mexican-Califomia line in the delta of the Colorado river, and a few miles to the north of the eastern shore of the Salton sea, in the Imperial valley.” THE BREVARD NEWS WILL PULL FOR YOU NOTICE—LAND SALE BY COM- MISSIONER Youngster Gang Robbed Slot Machines.
