1t is said that this is the first step to-

in southern California. According to
conservative estimates there will be
5000 new families here soon and at
this time there is no place to house
them, except hotels and apartment
houses. The majority Of these are
families that have already sent their
household goods here to start house
keeping and have no house to go to-.
That there will be continuation Of
this condition throughout the next

IN PERSHING SQUARE
By Vinton A Holbrook
Oh, Central Park, now Pershing
Square,
Is wonderful place to take the air,
And nobody seems to care or worry
Whether it's June or January,
For the sun shines down upon the
place
In summer or winter with equal grace
While many a fluttering cooling dove
Gives it an air of peace and love-:
And during the cool, sweet morning
hour.
Sparkles the artificial shower.
All sorts of people here congregate
From every city and every state,
Der OF inquiries that are being re-
From every corner of the earth,
Whether of low or exalted birth
A beautiful maiden with piquant
charm
Sits next to toiler from the farm,
And near to the well-dressed city chap
is seen Chinaman or a Jap;
A rough old miner in homespun clad
Sits by the blue-clothed sailor lad,
And If each one his flag unfurled
We'd see the colors of all the world

modified and the population of Gret-
ma has shrunk to 5000. Recruited as
they were from almost every branch
of industry, many of them unskillcd
and inexperienced, the absorption OF
these workers into the new economic
ssorfler is swing no little concern to
the government and to themselves, fol
economically Great Britain has not
yet recovered her balance.
The unemployed munition workers.
and Gretna is only one government
activity of many similarly affected
are taking the unemployment wage"
provided by the government, and are
making the most of it. AS this wage
is much less than they received while
making shot and shell, being about
$3.50 a week, there are fears they will
soon miss their high wages and in
time may become the cause of indus
trial unrest. Some time must elapse
while military plants are being trans
formed into factories that will pro-
duce the things needful in ordinary
life.
The. factory has wonderful housing
system with comfortable homes,
churches and recreation halls for the
workers, and in ordinary circumstanc-
es it ought to be useful for many
years to come. But the highly eX-
Iplosive nature of the product necess.-
tated the planting of the industry out
|! side the ordinary walks of commerce
and manufacture. This makes it rec
sonably certain in the minds of econ-
omists that Gretna will have to be
abandoned.

WELL AND HAPPY; GOOD NEWS
TO HIS MANY FRIENDS IN
TARPON SPRINGS

J. B. Cowsert received a wire this
morning from a friend stating let
ter had just been received from Mr..
Cowsert's son, John T., dated Decem-
Der 81, Honningen, Germany. The
letter said he was we'll and came
through the fight without scratch
and that he is still With the 18th field
artillery, Second division.
This is the first news received from
John T. since September 27, though
the Red Cross has had an inquiry in
since December IS. They stated that,
owing to the uncertainty of the mails,
it probably would take four to six
weeks for a report to reach here. Re-
peated attempts to obtain the address
of overseas officials to whom to cable
proved a failure, so on Tuesday the
Atlanta Red Cross office was notified
to put cable inquiry through imme-
diately to their Paris office.
News of John It's safety will be re-
ceived with joy by his many friends
here, who, knowing the young man to
be fearless almost to the point of
recklessness, have had considerable
misgivings as to his welfare. 1t will
be recalled that Chicago paper last
summer carried special dispatch
from France in which young Cowsert
was mentioned in connection with a
daring exploit on the western battle
front.
