Drop Attributed To Inducing Youths To
 Return To Families
New Policy of Social Agencies Proves Success Says Herbert Smith Salvation Army May Also Sport
 Marked Reduction in Overnight LOdgers

Der of transients accommodated dur- ing the past two months here.
 During the depression years, the Y annually gave free rooms to thous- ands of young men made homeless through unfortunate circumstances. Pending the completion of the an- nual report, to be released shortly, the exact proportion of the de- crease here will not be known but it is believed to have dropped sever- al thousands as compared with that of last years figure.
 Given Advice
 The type of transient accoinmo- dated by the Y differs from the hardened vagrant who applies at police headquartrs for Q nights lodging. He is usually a young man in his late teens or early twenties, who took the road because of strait- ened finances at home, according to Y officials.
 Herbert s. Smith, general secre- tary of the Waterbury Y, said that taking into account the general irn- provement on business conditions, the policy of urging transients to return to their homes, lately adopt ed by all social agencies, is undoubt- edly @ strong factor in the decrease.
 Compiling Report
 At the local Salvationarmy cita- del today reports on the number of transients accommodate during the year were being compiled. It is be- lieved they will also reveal marked reduction. Police headquarters re- ported that the number of appli- cants for a nights shelter during the recent months has remained practically the same. Sergeant Jo- seph Bagley, desk officer, said that 3 men had been given lodging last night and that the general number was from % to 30.
 The national tabulation of the Salvation army, showing @ peak reached in the first few months of 1883, is as follows:
 In 1892, 9,742 TOP beds and 25- 001,1 meals were provided: in 1883, 0,578,079 beds and 26,880, ,967 meals; 1884, 6,997, ,22l beds and ls,- l09,234 meals, and 1885, 6,563,6 beds and l3,588,044 meals.
