COLORADO SPRINGS, July 25.-Im-
provements to the extent OF $4,000 and
possibly 100000, will be made in the
Union Printers Home at an early date,
according to an announcement made by
Secretary Treasurer j. w. Hays, who
attended a special meeting of the Home
board here last week The work will
consist of a new addition to the main
building sufficient to make room for
seventy-five residents, and active work
will commence as soon as plans and
specifications can be obtained There
are now 225 residents at the Home and
many applications are turned down
daily because of a lack of sufficient
room at the institution.
At recent meetings some agitation has
been aroused for the construction of an
other home of the same type as the
Colorado Springs institution. Nashville,
Tenn, Jacksonville, Fla, and many 9TH
er Southern towns have made bids for
such homes The board considers, how
ever, that Colorado Springs is the log
ical point for the location of the insti-
tuition and the additional funds of the
union Will be expended here.
In speaking of the matter, Secretary
HAYS stated that the decision to build
the addition at the Home had been
reached and that work would commence
Immediately, despite the claims ad-
vanced by other cities. The new struc-
ture will occupy the space between the
present main building and hospital, be-

Elmer Leonard, special Inspector Of
the city on the sewer construction
work, reported to the city trustees last
night adversely to the work he had
inspected during his first week in
office and offered his resignation.
Many citizens were present and dis
cussion hinged around three points,
which were:
First-Leonard's almost blanket ar
raignment of Consulting Engineer
Olmstead and the whole sewer con-
struction work.
Second-That Leonard's most seri-
Gus charge was against work done in
a 13-foot trench near Imperial, which
he later admitted was inspected from
the ground, he not having entered the
trench, and that the work condemned
here could not be seen from above.

Solving Unemployment
For the Whole Nation

Iernment lands, the board is authorized
by the bill to establish colonization
projects in cooperation with any state
or private land owner. The board
would thus have power to utilize cut
northern Minnesota and Wisconsin,
and the present useless swamp lands
of Florida and Louisiana. The whole
idea of the bill is that the government
shall act as the capitalist in prepar-
ing the lands for occupancy, equip
ping them with necessary buildings
and improvements, the money to be
paid back on easy payments over
long term of years by the settlers,
who shall not be permitted to have the
title, but only the use of the lands
as long as they comply with the re-
quirements.
The bill safeguards labor employed
in the work of preparing the lands,
by providing for an 8-hour day,
minimum wage which shall not be less
than the current wage for the same
class of work in the vicinity the
elimination Of child labor, and for
semi-monthly pay day. The board
is also instructed to make rules and
regulations to insure safety, to pro-
vide for wOrkmen's compensation and
accident insurance. Prospective set
tiers may be employed by the board
in helping to prepare the land for oc-
cupancy, receiving standard wages for
their work, and the board is author
lied to have the necessary work per-
formed by the government in case sat-

TIRE COMPANY IN
NATION WIDE DISTRIBUTION

At recent meeting of the board
of directors of the Savage Tire Com
pany of San Diego, Cal, arrangements
were made to increase the capital
stock of the company from $1,000,00O
to $5,0O0,O0O. Plans for a national
distribution of Savage products and
greatly. increased manufacturing ia
cilities are now being matured. Con
sidering the rapid growth Of the COM
pany during the last year and the ex-
cellence of it's financial standing, it
promises to rank well up in the list
of the largest tire manufacturers in
the country.
While the growth of the Savage
organization has been rapid, it is
based On sound merchandising prin-
ciples and high quality products. The
development of the company is there
fore not surprising, as these things
always mean success. AS Mr. Claus
Spreckels, the secretary of the COM
pany, stated in recent interview,
the Savage sales plan, where by tires
and tubes are sold for cash, direct
from factory to consumer, has proven
by a years test. It's success and
popularity are unquestioned.
Satisfied users of Savage Tires all
over the West will receive this news
with interest, as the Savage Tire
Company and Savage products are
the sort that make friends. The Of
ficers and directors of the company
deserve great credit for what they
have done and for what they are do
ing,
