HYDROPLANES PASS
CITY YESTERDAY

Three hydroplanes passed south
over the western outskirts of the city
yesterday about 3:45 p. m. The ma
chimes were making good speed, tax
ing course conforming with the
coast. They were observed by party
in Mrs. John Hills grove over the
bayou, among whom was Miss Helen
Bigelow, who reported the matter to
The Leader. Seeing that the planes
had stopped their engines and were
descending, the party got in their car
and drove as far as Crystal Beach,
from where the planes could be seen
quietly riding the waters of the bay
After a short stop they again got I'M
der way and proceeded south. 1t is
surmised that they were headed for
St. Petersburg. 1t is expected that
the government will establish stations
at various points along the coast,
from which these machines will oper-
ate as coast guards and life savers,
and it is probable that one such sta
ton will be established between An
clote and Egmont lights.

Organized Effort

For the Soldiers
GOVERNMENT FORCES UNITE IN
THIS MOST IMPORT
ANT WORK

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. THE all-in1-
portant nature of the task of caring
for soldiers returning to civil life and
affording them suitable employment
has reused national organizations to
mighty efforts. Representative Of
welfare and other private organiza-
lions and the government forces have
united in the formation of a co-opera-
tive central board at Washington
through which a complete pooling Of
all efforts to assist soldiers and war
workers to employment has been eff
fected.
In line with the plan approved by
the secretary Of war and every coun-
Gil and department of labor in the
United States, Mr.. Mcconnell, of the,
National War Work Council Of the Y.
M. G.. A. has taken the work in hand
insofar as it affects the camps in
Georgia, and from it's headquarters in
Atlanta will keep in constant touch
with arising exigencies and collabo-
rate in every way with organizations
doing similar work.
Assistant Commissioner of Labor
Ambrose P. Spence, who has been
studying conditions relative. to the
discharge of thousands of soldiers
from the Southern camps, believes the
biggest problem to be met is the prop
er placing Of the farmer and the
tradesman. ct is not the man with
the education" said Mr.. Spence, chat
is out of a job, he is able to adapt
himself to any circumstance. He is
not a specialist, therefore not seeking
a specific job. The man we are find
ing most difficult to handle is the
farmer and the tradesman."
