TRAMPS ARE HIT HARD

South Jersey Housewives Less Sympa-

Glassboro, N. J.-High cost of living
and high wages have combined to
strike a stunning blow to the tramp
fraternity in all parts Of south Jersey,
and police officials report that the pan
handlers are much scarcer than usual
this winter.
The general prosperity, all over the
country is said by the authorities to
have been most effective in thinning
the ranks Of the nomads and in keep
ing the county jails and town free
from the usual crowd Of winter
boarders.'
In past winters it has happened fire.
quently that the small towns in this
region have been overrun with the va
grants, who have camped out in the
woods and along the railroad lines un,
till severe weather drove them into
town to seek shelter in the lockups,
There is still a part Of this itinerant
class which applies to the police for
shelter in the jail cells overnight, but
few Of them linger longer than day
or two, being headed, the police say,
toward the munition plants along the
river front and to other industrial CEN
ters in search Of odd jobs.
Food is so high and jobs SO plentiful
that the housewives are less sympa-
thetic than has been their habit in
past years.
