TRAMPS THE BANE
OF CITIES IN SOUTH
Campaign Is Begun to Prevent
Passing On" the
Hob0eS.
100 MAYORS SEEK WAY
TO PUT END TO THE EVIL
Scheme Is Evolved Providing for
Free Transportation for Transient
Poor by Municipalities.

How the south is planning to prevent
the passing on of tramps from one
city to another. as has been done no"
for many years. is told in an article
sert out by the Survey Press Service
today. 1t is explained that because o'
this passing on" policy conditions IN a
number of cities and towns were pe-
coming unendurab,e and al the same
time no relief was being given for 'he
evil.
The story sent out by the survey
Press Service says:

Passing 1t On.
The passing ON evil has for many
wears been a problem of particular SIG
nificance in the south. The mild ell
mate has been partially responsible for
the presence of many wandering tramps
and tramp families, and their IN
crease has been encouraged by slip
shod methods of issuing free transpor-
tation \ few charitable organizations
with modern methods have worked un-
der the transportation rules. as drawn
up by the National Conference of
Charities and Correction in 1903. Inc
city of Atlanta, Ga. signed these rules
by ordinance in 1906.
But most of the municipalities and
smaller relief organizations continued
TO get rid of their visiting poor by
buyiug them tickets to the next town
or the nearest large city-the old
familiar method of passing on. And
so the dismal round continued. grow
ing ever worse. Towns and cities be-
came burdened with an increasing
number of wandering dependents, who
suffered increasing hardship and pau
perism from the system. In some COM
munities. due to their geographical po-
sition. the conditions became unendura-
bile. Jacksonville. so situated as to be
the gateway of Florida. was one of
these. Nearly year ago Barry {.
Smith. then secretary of the Associated
charities in that city. determined that
some local action must be taken. and
perhaps the cooperation of the entire
south he obtained.
ts an initial step an ordinance was
drawn up and laid before the mayor
and city council. No action was taken.
but Mayor Bowden showed an earnest
interest.

to hand-tuckirg nicely. An olive
green crepe dc chine frock for a lit
tie girl has groups of pintucks, be-
low waistline. Down the center front
is row of closely placed buttons
covered with the material. The sash
is also of the olive green crepe do
chine with knotted ends and dull gold
tassels at the front. Collar and cuffs
are of cream colored mousseline.
There is no lovelier way to make
an organdie frock for little girl
than with pintucks and other tucks In
graduated width. Tucks are so easily
made, requiring only time and pa
tience, that they are an admirable
trimming for the frock made at home.
Little dresses with many ruffies Of or
candle. each ruffle corded at the edge,
are charming on tall, slender girls of
ten years or over So many ruff
fles are apt to make a smaller tot
look roly-poly and dumpy.
Sport Skirts? To BE Sure!
OF course the little girl has her
natty sport skirt, this year, made OF
bright colored Scotch plaid prefera-
bly,, and of course the skirt has pock-
cts in which hands may be boyishly
tucked. Very correct Is a sport skirt
of Mackenzie tartan-one of the
handsomest of the clan plaids-with
box pleats depending from wide
belt. buttoned toward one side. The
belt Is worn low, buttoning under
meath to a longwaisted skirt much
like small boys, with starched,
tucked fronts. coat sleeves, breast
pocket and turnover Eton collar with
Windsor tie-an excellent play CO.'S
tune for summer mornings at noun
tain or shore!
Pique Is fashionable this season and
many new weaves have been brought
out. It Is really wonderful how so
many variations can be accomplished
on the simple pique stripe. The frock

into the hair in smart effect, standing
out only slightly from the head and
forming a graceful part OF the Golf
fure rather than a sharp note of con-
trast. OF the three other Bakst combs
pictured, the one TO the right of the
comb Just described Is OF amber and
tortoise-shell with sunken rhine
stones, cut steel beads and imitation
emeralds. The fan-shaped comb at
the lower left Is OF tortoise shell set
with seed pearls, Jet and imitation to-
paz-an excellent comb for gray
haired woman. At the lower right Is
comb in wing design. the spread
pinions outlined with feathers made
of tiny garnets and rhinestones. All
around the edge OF the wings is a
border or garnets, ana within this a
second border of rhinestones.
High Spanish combs are becoming
more and more fashionable. They de-
mand a piledup hairdressing, the tall
comb making background for a
towering mass OF curls OF soft puffs.
The Spanish comb worn with a low
hairdressing loses much OF its artistic
value and gives an old -madsh sug-
gestion to the head. Sometimes the
Spanish comb Is thrust obliquely into
the hair at one side Of the coiffure
but It's best effect Is high at tho back.

The peacock comb Is another fash
ion of the winter. This comb. worn
high on the head. has a fan-shaped
top set with imitation sapphires and

For slightly older girl Is n coat Of
fawn serge. smartly trimmed with
black buttons and three-tier belt
Of vanished leather which passes un-
der fiat panels at back and front of
the garment. These panels form deep
pleats at the bottom of the coat and
give 1t the required fullness. At the
shoulder they are mere tucks pinched
In the material. so 1t will be seen that
this coat has a decidedly circular cut
though the effect is fiat at back and
front.
Small Skirts Must Flare.
The silhouette of the wee maid has
undergone a change like that of her
mamma, her nurse, her kindergarten
teacher-and all other feminine folk
In her world. Her small petticoats
are frilled and starched now, to make
them stand out crisply, and II she is
past babyhood's age she may have a
bit Of stiffening at the hem of her
or silk material. Many Of the serge
frocks for schoolgirls Of ten to six
teen years are faced with a very fiex-
ible interlining which may be sat
upon slid upon and romped upon
without becoming crushed. 80 elastic
is Its fiber. A frock for girl Of
eleven is of navy blue henrietta cloth
with shocking all around n rounded
yoke which dips down at the front
into q deep U. A belt Of white kid
passes through slashes just below the
waistline. drawing the full frock In
to the slender figure and the skirt
flares out smartly. Collar and cuffs
Of this engaging frock are Of white

with white cord. Another suit of
white galatea, with collar and cuffs
Of blue galatea. is practical and
freshly charming for morning or aft
ernoon wear.
Most engaging is the wee person in
a lapelled frock which suggests the
famous coat worn by '"Trilby." This
frock is really intended for a little
girl-as evidence. the bracelet!-but

small boy. with It's strapped belt and

sash. There is another tab at the
back, and the two tabs keep the loose
black velvet sash in position. Collar
and cuffs are of handkerchief linen
and both collar and belt-tab are held
down by white crochet buttons en-
broidered over In black. This model
would reproduce well in pink or green
linen, with white collar and cuffs, or
in yellow linen.
ROmpcrs Ready for Summer Play.
Two new styles of rompers are pic
tured; one for beach wear made Of
corduroy with strappings and belt Of
linen. This romper is a bit warmer
than q linen or cotton garment and
may be worn like bathing suit. with
no other clothing underneath. Then
II small somebody goes padding too
far, the home going raiment will not
become hopelessly wet. The shady
beach hat Of washable fabric Is to be
commended also.
Prettier than the ordinary shape
less romper Is q new play garment
for byhood-babyhood that Is, big
enough to scramble and romp in the
garden or on the sands. The picture
of this romper shows how II Is fas-
tened with buttons underneath the leg
so that 1t may be slipped on easily
over ordinary garments and removed
as easily. 1t Is made of pink linen,
pintucked across the top at back and
'front.' It's upper fastenings comes at
the back. BY unbuttoning this fasten-
ing and also the buttons under the
leg the romper may be ironed as
easily as spread-out towel.

Shepherd Checks Have Favor I'm Small
Coats.
Checks Of all sizes, in black and
white. brown and white and blue and
white, have the favor in childrens
coats both for the small girl and her
small brother. Black and white
checks have special favor for they are
particularly crisp and smart along
with little hats that supply the child

black and white checked coat Is made
youthful and gay by the addition OF
white trimmings and buttons. or col
lar and facings of taffeta silk-Dutch
blue or old rose with the black and
white check seem to be best liked.
Occasionally an exclusive little gar
ment will show some other shade in

collar and cuffs of corn-colored satin,
with buttons of ivory tinted bone. A
lining of the pale corn colored satin
adds q rich note. A dainty coat Of

cape to the waist showing a lining
of the same olive green. In the pic
ture showing two small maids to-
