STOP FEEDING TKAMPs, MAKE
 THEM WORK IS ADVICE

Dr. William B. Bailey. professor of practical philanthropy at Yale University and president of the Connecticut Prison Association, who is one of the foremost authorities. on social conditions, gave a very interesting talk before the Mems club of Park Congregational church on Friday evening at osgood Memorial. Dr. Bailey spoke on The American Tramp, his habits, ways of living and the meth od which is best to rid the country of this element.
 Dr. Bailey has made a close study of the rtamp for many years and SHas even 'hoboed" with them duringsthe sum mer. hopped freights, ridden blind-bar- gage and tramped the country in their company for the purpose of finding out their habits and haunts. Dr. Bailey said:
 There are probably between 10000 and 25o.o0o tramps in this country to- day. They are grouped into various classes, one above the other. At the bottom are the dregs of tra mpdon the tomato can tramp" He Is called this because of the tomato can you always find tied about his waist with a piece of rope. He sleeps In alleys, crates and boxes and breakfasts in the garbage can. He drifts along until the railroad or sickness gets him and he passes out
 a tie more aspiring type of tramp who in- habits the "doss houses" or the tramp hotels. This tramp is found in the cities where there are cheap lodging houses such as the Bismarck and Mills near Chatham square in New York.
 The Dosser bess for his living and the first thing he does is to sink away in his jeans the price of his next nights lodging. He is no fool, he Is wise in his begging. He doesn't ask for dime. or a quarter, his pleas for aims Is for flor two or three cents to make a quar- ter se's I kin get 'scrption filled for de Old Woman" The success of the days work depends on the story. If Dosser Is patient and has good story which he makes realistic he earns CD about ss.5e to s12 day.
 The yegEE,an Is often taken for a tramp but he Is not He Is a determined character who packs a "gat' and shoots to kill and get away.

With the clocks of Norwich running on standard time and the railroads running on daylight time the mail question has become a tough problem for Postmaster John P. Murphy to solve. Confusion is bound to result, and unless the manu- lecturers stores and business houses in- augurate the early mailing plan advocat- ed by Postmaster General Hays. their mail, especially cut of town mail, will in many cases be delayed anywhere from twelve to twenty-four hours.
 If the citizens of Norwich had adopt ed the daylight saving plan by common consent, mail would arrive and depart much the same as it does now. But be- ginning Monday morning the routine al the post office is going to be sadly dis rupted. Incoming mail will arrive an hour earlier tNan before and outgoing mail will have to be pouched and at the railway station an hour earlier.
 Just what this Is going to mean to the patrons of the office will be realized in the announcement of Postmaster tha' the 80 D. m. box collection, which al the present time is the last collection In the center of the city, will have to b' abandoned, as the last mail train out of Norwich, the boat train will pass through this city at 7.45 o'clock instead of 9.45 o'clock, which in this particular case is two hours earlier. This means that thc last collection ' q l have to be maL. bi' tween and 6.So o'clock which will giv, the postal clerks bare hour to get ssv eral thousand pieces of mail sorted pouched and down to the railway sta tion.
 Another handicap to the mall service 1! tha aunnu0rAment If fha milling off q the train which arrives here at g o'clocl at night from New London. This trair brings in mail from New York and point! east and west of New London. Thii mail will consequently not arrive unti morning.
 Postmaster Murphy said Friday after noon that for a few days at least tn carriers and clerks will report for dut! at the usual time. As matters stand should the carriers leave the office al hour earlier in the morning they woul find the majority of the stores and bus lness houses closed.
 It will take a few days time to de termine definitely just what trains vii l bring in and carry out mail Postmast l CT Murphy said he can't tell yet wheth CT there will be railway mail messene CT on the boat train arriving here at "A o'clock.
