<ul><li><b>Scope and content:</b>  Modesto, Mariposa County, California. Hitch-Hiking. On his way from Portland, Oregon, where he has been cutting wood for seventy-five cents a tier, to Dallas, Texas, where he said his brother has a job for him in meat packing. He had once been employed driving a truck and, unlike most hitch-hickers, was able to make a specialty of long haul night travel by dressing as a truck driver and thumbing rides on the plea of being a member of the fraternity and able to take a turn at the wheel. Photographed at 9:00 in the evening, he didn"t get a ride until around midnight</li></ul></div>
