DENVER LEADS NATION
REPORTS SHOW CONDITION LIT
TIE WORSE THAN YEAR AGO.
PERCENTAGE OF UNEMPLOYED
LESS IN COLORADO THAN
OTHER STATES.

Washington, May I.-Denrer EN-
ployment conditions show the greatest
percentage of Improvement of any city
in the United States, according to re-
ports gathered by the United States
employment service, Department OF
Labor.
Employment conditions for the cOun-
try as Il whole We're slightly worse AT
the beginning of the present month
than they were a month ago, but Den
yer stands at the head of ten cities
that show improvement in the number
of persons put back TO work.
The greatest numerical gains of cit
les are reported by Detroit, Chicago,
Toledo and Passaic, y. j., but in per-
centage of gain the fOur leaders are
Denver, Detroit, Toledo and Passaic,
in the order named, with Chicago far
down the list. Denver shows IN i'm
%provement of 44.9 per cent, while De-
troit second on the list, shows an in
crease in employment Of 25.9 per cent.
New Haven, Conn, Paterson, n. j., st.
Louis. Kansas City, Cleveland, Phila-
delphia and eight other cities show
slightly worse conditions than at the
beginning of April.
The automobile industry shows signs
of a boom. There is an increased sale
of automobiles and automobile factor-
les have been increasing their work
ing forces. Though every city needs
more houses, n building revival is de-
layed by high wages, high-priced ma
'erials and high freight rates. Build
ing materials have decreased ONE but
il is held that wages and freight rates
also be lowered to restore EN-
ployment in the building trades. While
there are discouraging reports from
many other states, there are hopeful
signs in Colorado. The labor depart
ment's report pertaining to Colorado
follows: state gains in employment
are noticeable, due to increasing road
construction and repairs, farm opera
lions. partial resumption by railroad
shops, building programs and improve
ment in manufacturing.
Reports 10 the labor department
from the following Colorado cities fol-
low:
Denver-Seasonal activities, some
manufacturing increases and partial
railroad shop resumption have effect
ed a good reduction in unemployment.
Building continues duh, with unemp-
ployment unimproved, contracted de-
mand for packing praducts has retard-
ed unemployment in that line. I'm
provement in other section is expected
10 reflect betterment here.
Greeley-Increasing farm activities,
building programs and highway con-
struction and repair have resulted in
more general employment. Tendency
toward more stable operations is ap-
parent.
Colorado Springs-COntinued build
ing activity and increasing farm labor
demand promise to show improvement
over that already noted as the season
advanced.
Pueblo - Depression continues in
mining and smelling, April showing lit
tie Improvement. Weather conditions
have temporarily blocked improve
ment in farm labor demands. Tdleness
prevails in building, with immediate
prospects not brighter. slight improve
ment in steel mills and railroad repair
shops is reported.

One Dignified Way to Do It.
1t has been suggested in Washington
by some of the men who have dis
there is Il dignitied method by which
the end sought can be accomplished.
The president of the United States is
the commander in chief of the army
and navy of the country. He is, there
fore, in a sense the ranking military
officer of the land. The suggestion is
that a president on leaving office shall
be placed ON the retired list of one or
the other of the armed services, just
as officers are placed thereon when
they are eligible for retirement.
If this were done the president
would receive, as retired pay from the
government, a certain percentage of
his pay when he was on active duty
us commander in chief. No army Of
icer or naval officer looks on retired
pay as Il pension. There are those
who think that if something must be
done for our ex-presidents, this might
be the employed to do it. Not
long ago the daughter of IA former
president of the United States died in
