Aulo Tramps One family, including three young men, had been traveling for t he past five yea rs, a I wa y s f o I -lowing reports Indicating employ ment. For, five years they had not been in one place for a suf ficient length of time to call It home, and- they planned to keep traveling, for tho next five years or even longer. They were not unlike, a group of gypsies and were akin to the nomads of the desert, folding up tents and dis appearing like shadows hcToro the dawn. They enjoyed this mode of life, but the youngsters of the family suffered through inability to gain oven a common school ed ucatlon. 0,uttu a number of such families pass through Medford during the season and occasionally they nr rlvo in winter. When they arrive during cold weather, Miss Lillian Huberts, county Hod Cross Execu tive, is more familiar with their visits. A child becomes sick or the father cannot find work.

It happened this way. Sydney was one of the communi ties firm settled on the continent and It had a brickfield on the southern liniiu of the city. A storm from the south would hurl clouds of dmt on the grumbling inhabitants. Many duaty Hydney Jtes rushed to Victoria when gold was discovered and soon thereafter the hot, north sirocco winds rush ed on them. Kxperiencing much the same discomfort they suffered in Sydney frjjm brickyard dust, the miners promptly named the hot winds hrickfielders.
