LABORERS PLENTIFUL
Contractors in City are Turning Men
Away Daily

The labor problem which was SO
serious early in the summer and was
practically the cause of the lack OF
houses in the city has completely
solved itself. There are more car
penters and working men in the city
today than ever before and they are
fairly begging and crying for work.
Last week one contractor turned fifty
men away from his Office because he
had no place TO put them to work
Early in the summer the house
problem was uppermost in the minds
of citizens of Alma and at that time
there was no labor that was suitable
for the erection of new houses. AS
the summer months have progressed
and with the gradual closing of the
harvest season there has commenced
a run of laborers back into the city.
The situation has completely changed
from what it was two months ago and
today the supply is far greater than
the demand.
All during the summer there has
been a cry throughout the city that
ietDOi was az a PAtiilihtis anu oO NOii-
plete has this rumor worked its way
into the minds of the people that
house building has almost come to a
standstill. Contractors in the city are
doing all in their power to rectify this
wrong idea regarding the labor stu
alton and thus far have found that
many parties were not building be-
cause they were of the opinion that
they would have to employ ipexper-
fenced help.
Reports from all supply houses in
the city show that as far as building
material is concerned there is no
want and the future indicates no
shutdown in the amount daily COM
ing. For the fall demand the various
companies are laying in supplies of
materials which indicates what fall
building prospects are good
Alma needs houses more than ever.
The new plant for the half-ton Re-
public truck is under construction and
will employ several hundred men as
soon as completed. With an album
dance of laborers and no let up on
building material the time to build
your houses is here.

TUBERCULOSIS WORK
Counties Awakening to Needs and
Building Sanatoriums

The State Board of Health in its
statewide tuberculosis survey is sue
ceeding in arousing the people OF
many communities TO the necessity
of taking community action to pre-
vent the disease This is indicated by
reports received during the past few
days from various parts of Michigan.
The counties of Wexford, Kalkaska
and Osceola are making plans to erect
a tuberculosis sanatorium large
enough to accommodate the patients
of the three counties. One of these
counties, Wexford, was the first one
visited in the State Board of Health's
survey year ago, and the work done
there is bearing fruit.
st. Clair county, visited about five
months ago, is also taking steps for
the erection of sanatorium. At the
present session of the board of super
visors a proposal is up for the cree
ton of a $4,000 building at Boards
Hill, not far from the city of Port
Huron. Port Huron also has provid-
ed an open-air school since the State
Board of Health survey as held there.
Keweenaw county is another county
that is building a sanatorium.
In Traverse City, where a survey
was held last December, the organiza-
ton of full-time health department
has been completed. and few days
age the announcement was made that
the department is now on a perma-
nent basis. Traverse City is one of
the smallest cities in the state that
have a service of that kind, and its
equipment is very complete.
The report comes from Houghton
county, where a State Board of Health
survey has just been completed, that
as result of the survey there have
beer such an unusually large num-
Der of applications for admission to
the county sanatorium that it has be-
come hard to accommodate all who
apply.
1t is community action of this kind
that the State Board of Health is try
ing hard to encourage, because action
like this makes for permanent results
which will continue to save lives years
after the present survey has closed.

day have had a double reminder of

then spent three years in the Klondike
and have been here more than two
years. The balance of the time was
spent in Seattle. Should John

pacity give them my regards, and if

many small pistons OF light weight
ana many explosions of small inten-
slty is noted, other advantages are ap-
parent With the reduction of strain
through the motor, through using
many pistons to get the required pow
er, we save not only piston weight, but
| fywheel weightfi crankshaft weight
and crankcase weight
Further, we get more power from
an engine of the same total size OF
capacity in cubic inches, than is DOS
sloIe in Six of a corresponding stand
ara OF engineering. This is because
the light pistons and connecting rods
allow the engine n greater range of
speed, while the smaller bore of the
cylinders permits the use of a higher
compression, and the higher the COM
preston the more efficient is the burn
ing of the gas at all speeds. This more
nearly perfect combination shows to
advantage in hill-climbing, in shut
ting through traffic, in the use of low
grade fuels and in the economy of
fuel.
Naturally, the first step onward
from a Six is an Eight. And to pre-
serve the advantages of a short. stiff
drankshaft, almost sacrificed in a
sizable Six. and to enjoy the benefit
of short, light, stiff motor, the V
or twin-type of motor construction
suggested itself. Once developed, the
Twin-Four revealed certain advan-
tages when compared to Six of SINH
lar size and power.
So far as the character of the
torque, or turning effort, is concerned,
the Twin-Four motor has an advan-
