housing problem.

But maybe George will not stop with the inner circle
Who knows but that day a London plumber or

SAVAGE TIRES
ARE HbND-BUILT

James r. Coyle, manager Of the In
perial Valley branch Of the Spreckels
Savage" Tire Company, says:
"Tires are not unlike many other
products in that their quality depends
much uoou the amount Of individual
attention they receive during con
struction. A great many motorists,
when purchasing . tire. fail to d.5-
tinguish between the kind Of tires
that are made in lar2e Quan5itiea by
machinery and the kifd that are bJ-.t

ing produces tires superior to those
made by machinery, the great major
ity of tire manufacturers employ the
latter method, as machines are es-
sentially time-savers, labor-savers
and cost reducers, tending toward
greater output at less expense. Con-
versely, where the object in view is
maximum quality, without undue re-
gard to increased production or ex-
pensefi the method of building tires
by hand possesses distinct advan-
tages. The cost entailed in the en-
ployment of this process is consider
ably greater, and the output is neces-
sarilv smaller. but correct selection
Imperial Valley press., 1920-07-03

and compounding of highest grade ma
terials, together with the best work
manship and individual attention, is
something whcih is only possible with
comparatively limited production"
He further states that one of the
reasons why Savage" tires are
giving such good service in this sec
tion is that they are strictly hand
built.

1t is quite likely an investigation will be

official negotiations with tho British
government had been established by
Senators opposed to the League of Nations
before Lord Grey wrote his famous letter
to the London Times. The fact that many
Senators were not unprcpared for such
an announcement as was made by the
British diplomat lends color to the r1imor
that they had previously been in CORE

Washington Correspondent.
Washington, Feb. 6.-Democratic
Senators will present an ultimatum TO
Senator Lodge on the Peace Treaty, Nj on
day. and what they will demand and what
they will concede will be determined at a
caucus tomorrow morning 1t is believed
that at this meeting . definite understand
ing Will be reached, an understanding
which all will bind themselves to adhere to.
At least this is the plan of the leaders.
II is not the purpose ol the Democrats
20 give the appearance to the country of
having been dragooned into an agreement
which in their hearts they oppose. Senator
Hitchcock will not allow the Republicans
90 get away with all the bacon" He
will insist that something be reserved for
the Democrats. Ii Senator Lodge wants
the support of the Democrats in ratify-
ing the Treaty, he must be reasonable
and concedc something that has more
than shadowy value.
Republicans who, early IN the week,
were rejoicing over, what they regarded
as an inevitable and complete victory for
their party on the Peace Treaty are not
now SO cock sure They are beginning to
fear Lord Grey's letter has somewhat
complicated the situation and has laid
them open To the charge OF having en-
listed the support of the astute British
statesman IN the cause of ratification
with the Lodge reservations.
REPUBLICANS NEAR A TRAP.
The entire fight on the Treaty by its
enemies has been made on the issue that
the terms were dictated bv foreign power
and that President Wilson had led the
country irto an entangling alliance.
Now the truth has dawncd upon the
Republicans that by accepting the aid OF
