High-Powered Moochers
Are Medford Guests on
Free Trip Over Country
BuslneM-like proof that Axnerlcuiti
are not the money-grabber tHey ire
pictured was offered here yestert ay :
by nattily-dressed Paul Llvlngstc j.
who with Mrs. Livingston U ne&ruig
the end of 1000-day Journey during
which they have been fed, clothed
and aheltered entirely through free
offerings of their fellow-men.
Since lata 1934. Mr. and Mrs. Liv
ingston have made three transconti
nental trips and have never at any
time put forth a cent of money lot
anything indeed, have not haa
coin in their pocket. These super
moochers have lived royally. A care
ful and- complete check of value oi
all materials and service tendered
them reveals that ettlMna of the
country have advanced V28.615.13 for
support erf the couple during their
travels.
The Livingstons arrived In Medford
from the north Saturday and were
to Wave thla morning, the 996th day
oi their trek, for California, plan
ning to reach Hollywood Friday to
complete a thousand days of penni
less wandering.
Starting from the Tampa (Pla.)
Tribune building In 1934 in a 16
Model-T Ford and possessing only
tlhe clothes they were wearing, the
Livingstons traveled through Chi
cago to Ban Francisco, returned oy
wny of St. Louis and then turned
their automobile west again to New
Orleans and north to Seattle.
Since that time, they have pos
sessed five cars, the best of food
and clothing and have varied their
lodgings from first-clasa tourist
camps to the most exclusive hotels
In the land.
Livingston's brand of master-sales
manship has produced startling re-
i suits. Out of the 3192 requests made
by the adventurers, there have been
on iv 73 refusals.
Such incredible success Is attrlb
uted In part by Livingston to the
natural warm - heartedneas of the
average American citizen and also
to the sense of humor exhibited by
persons he has contacted, who, he
says, almost Invariably get a big
kick out of his story and his pur
pose. His method of approach he told
a Mall Tribune reporter, is one of
complete frankness.
"Whenever I a&k for anything, I
never fall to make it plain thav 1
have no Intention nor desire to pay
for anything I receive. They know
I have nothing to offer In return.
except perhaps an Informal recrtai
of my adventures and my attitude
on the matter."
Livingston plans to write a book
of the trip, concentrating on the
psychological aspects and character
traits of the American people in
general. He has filled three large
blank books with records of all gifts,
nether service or goods. Each giver
has presented him with an affidavit,
either through a canceled bill or
note, describing the gift and Its ex
act market value. In that way, Mr.
and Mrs. Livingston have not only
been able to keep a minute finan
cial record, but are also supplied
with adequate proof to convince
doubters.
Every aid, no matter how small,
is recorded and they range from the
twenty-five cent receipt from an old
melon vendor in the south to bills
ranging from two to three hundred
dollars at luxurious city and resort
hoetelr.es.
A few minutes consideration of
the many and varied expenses ot
the average motor trip will provide
a small inkling of the difficulties be
setting the couple and pays tribute
to an amazing Ingenuity and suc
cess In coping with them.
The travelers nave never paid a
highway or bridge toll of any kind,
they own no proper registration
papers for their car, have been given
any and all sorts of comforts they
desired. Cigarettes, haircuts, beauty
parlor service, food and drink, gaso
line, amusements their wants have
been as myriad as those of your
next-door neighbor, and all have
been supplied. Even their automo
biles have been given them and they
are at present driving a 1931 model
of a fairly high-priced car.
Livingston pointed out that he
and his wife always refuse to ac
cept gifts which they do not want,
although these have been offered
In a number of cases.
"We ask only for what we want,
but we want the best and we have
had it," he asserted.

Job has received a 131.639.000 booal
from congress.
Appropriation of thla sum for vo
cational educstlon has more than
doubled previous federal allotments
In each of the last three years the
appropriation has been about $10,
000.000.
All the money will be expended by
the states, the federal government
merely making allotment on a popu
lation basis.
Of the total. 7. 146.000 appropriated
under the continuing SmlthHughe&
act of 1017 must be matched dollar -for-dollar
by the states. The remain
der, appropriated under the aeorge-
Deen act of 1936. requires the states
to put up 50 cents for each federal
dollar.
In the past, however, the states
have more than matched federal
funds. In the fiscal year ending June
30. 1936 the last year for which
complete figures are available the
total spent for vocational education
was S33.437.S34 of Which 9.748.925
was federal money and 133.678,909
was state and local money.
The enrollment in vocational
classes waa 1.381.701. an Increase of
134.178 over 1935. About 391,000 of
the students were farmers, trade and
industrial workers and homemakers
taking Instructions In evening clashes;
334.000 employed youth attending
part-time clarv-es; and 656,000 girls
and boys attending the full-time
classes ln agriculture, trade and In
dustry, and home economics.
There also were 44.625 disabled

they might carry on despite their

Some of the uses which the state
make of additional federal funds are
New programs In backward com

the distributive occupations, special

youth, apprentice training, and re
training for unemployed whose spe
