A CURE FOR TRAMPS

The Mayor OF a rural parish In Westphala ep-
pears 70 have discovered a sovereign remedy for
the tramp nuisance. He began by attaching TO the
local slmshouss a night shelter where the home
less wanderers could seek refuge. He next posted
notices round the town asking the inhabitants to
refuse aims TO passing mendcants and the
same time placed other notices at prominent places
on the outskirts OF the town informing those whom
II concerned that bed and food might be had
ST the shelter in exchange for few hours work.
The experiment has been complete success. The
number OF tramps in the district has considerably
decreased, and many by being given agricultural
work to do at the shelter have learned to earn a
