WASHINGTON GOSSIP
By LAURENCE TODD. Fed. Press.

Washington, d. C.-When the cold
wave of New Years Day swept across
the Alleghanies to the national CAPT
tai, it sent GAS men and women to the
doors of charity, begging for shelter
This was the day that President Cool
idge and Secretaries Mellon and
Hoover announced to the world that
the United States had had a remark
ably prosperous year and was start
ing on another which looked quite as
good.
Beds and food were given to 30S
applicants at the Central Union Mis-
sion, to 1877 at the Gospel Mission, to
125 at Salvation Army headquarters
and to AZ at the municipal lodging
house attached to the police head
quarters. A police captain re-
marked harshly that two more nights
of extreme could would drive "these
down-and-outers" into the south, to
become dependent on public charity
there.
Whether it were because of publi-
cation of this almost-indecent expos
ure of poverty between White House
and Capitol, or in spite of it, the
President was moved to announce
through the official screen at his
press conference that the New Year
still looked bright. Cabinet members,
! 1t appeared, had told him that the ma
ton is about to enter into a new era
OF mass production, as significant for
human happiness as was the coming
OF the age of machinery at the close
OF the ages of hand-production of
goods. Coolidge was ready to believe
that America is going to produce
goods In such quantity, and so cheap
~, with wages at so satisfactory a
level, that everyone will have more
things to use and consume than they
have ever known before. Prosperity,
as seen from the coy shelter of the
White House, is going to fairly force
wealth upon this chosen people. Il
But this was, after all, unconvinc-
ing. Coolidge's fantastic guesser of
employment conditions. DIR. Francis
Jones of the U. S. Employment Ser
vice, had already given to the press
prediction which he called Facts,
showing that employment in 1928 will
be excellent. At that moment there
was an army of unemployed in every
industrial city named in the Jones re-
port. In Washington itself were be-
