cold rain and a nasty wind for more
than an hour and were rewarded

the spectators who thronged the
streets in front of the newspaper

when bulletins were flashed on the

main thoroughfares in which the
crowds congregated, thus preventing
accidents to motorist and pedestrian
There was evidence that the greater
part of the crowd was prepared for

OLD-TIME HOBO IS
ALMOST OBSOLETE

Elimination of the old time hobo has
taken place to such extent according
to c. Luther Fry, director OF the Mi
grant Groups Section Of the Home
Missions division, that superintendents
of rescue missions. free meal res
taurants and charitable rooming houses
believe they may have to adapt their
work to new purposes
When Mr.. Fry visited the Morgan
Memorial home in Boston, Jan. 10, he
was told by Ell. Helms, the superin-
tendent, that judging by appearances.
future guests Of the mission would be
old and decrepit men or wandering
boys. The Morgan Memorial home is
said to be the largest rescue mission in
America.
Several days ago Mr.. Fry visited the
Dan Batey rescue mission in Chicago.
Instead OF long bread line of hungry
men, he said he saw only eight food
petitioners though the night was one
of the coolest Of the winter.
The Bowery breadline of New York
has passed awa2," said Mr.. Fry, and
the Helping Hand dormitories in Kan
sas City are closed salvation Army
homes are said to shelter only a few
old or physically decrepit men, while
there is small demand for free meals,
Reasons for the vanishment of the
hobo, Mr.. Fry declared, include prohl
bition, plenty of employment and higher
wages.
The difference between the hobo and
the tramp, it was explained. is that the
former is the wandering workman will
ing to earn dollar here and a dollar
there, just enough to keep himself from
starving. And It is because "dd jobs
have been abundant that the aobo has
deserted the bread line in these days
of the high cost of living. On the other
hand the tramp, while smitten with
the wanderlust, has no desire for work.
