NEW YORK PLANS
 ROOM FOR GROWING BUSINESS SECTION
Will Build New Bridge at Cost of $2OO, 100000, Con- necting New Jersey
 With Island
By Associated Press

New York, August 27.-Projects for linking Manhattan with New Jersey by vehicular tunnel and bridge are expected to diminish the number of persons who reside on the island below Central park.
 The resident population of lower Manhattan decreased by 26o,o00 in the decade of 1910 to 1920 and avery time a new building is erected it seems to shrink still more This is because the motive for nearly all construction from Fifty ninth street down to the Battery is business, not bedrooms.
 New means of communication with New Jersey are expected to result in further business demands upon lower Manhattan's limited space. New Jersey and New York are now linked only by ferries, tube trains and one railroad tunnelled beneath the Hudson.
 The vehicular tunnel built by pub- lie funds of New York and New Jer- sey is expected to be completed in 192<. Construction of the approache s to the tube was begun several months ago It leaves Manhattan island downtown at point below Four teenth street.
 Proposed New Bridge
 The proposed bridge, which private interests are promoting, would cost $200, 900, 900. A corporation has been organized and is seeking capital.
 This bridge would rise from New York near Fifty-nnth street and descend into New Jersey at Weehaw- en. Most of the ferries and all the tubes are below this point, but tho growth of business in New York has already driven out many dwell ings as far north as Fifty-ninth street and substituted office and loft structures.
 The bridges lower deck would ac- commodate> 12 railroad tracks while on the upper span there would be room for 16 vehicular pathways, four trolley lines and two broad prom enades. Supporting towers on either end of the over water span would DO taller than the Woolworth building. In addition to these pathways be- tween <the two states, third is pro- posed in bill introduced in Con gress to give private corporation permission to build pontoon oridse

WHY

dicatc. IncD
With salt now numbered among the
cheapest articles of food. this sounds
like n very radical expression of
membcred that thcrc was a time when
salt was very valuable and highly
priced commodity, as it still is in
many eastern countries. In fact. an
examination of the word salary" will
prove in what esteem salt was for
merry held. for tho Latin "salarium"
was the allowance made to the Roman
soldier in order that he might pro-
vide himself with salt.
Moreover. the ceremonial import
ancc of salt Is shown in the salt-stand
on tho Saxon table. where Its posi-
ton marked the upper and lower
board separating the lord OF the house
and those who shared his salt as
honored Eucsts. from those who earned
their salt. The Normans. too. had
tho Same custom. but their word for
sait-stand was "salicrc. since corrupt
cd into cellar making the express

a Pathological phrase "salt-salt-stand."
All of this. however, tends to show
the value placed upon what. TO us.
Is n very ordinary article of dict. and
proves that. after all. it is not a deadly
insult to declare that n person is not
worth his salt but merely that IL
is another way OF saying that he is
not worthy of the money paid him.

nearly $50 pages including those wholly blank and those

There is not newspaper in the United States

Preventable Colorado Fires

The National Board of Fire Underwriters has just
completed fve-ycar analysis of the fire losses for Colo
RADIO The figures the result of study of approx
maey 145N0 different fires actually reported upon by
tho insurance companies and it estimated that these
figures about quarters Of the fires that have
actually occurred.
The national board has classified these fires in three
groups, twelve being listed strictly prcvcnta-
able, nine partly prevcnablc. while the third
group is made up of fires whose causes are unknown,
and these unknown causes may be considered largely
prcvcntablc.
The strictly preventablc fires for the vcyear peri
cd in Colorado show total loss of So SO6 So FER

and hot water pipes help to make up the total.
The important fact in connection with these fires
is that they all strictly preventable and prem-
mary inspection would have shown the. element of
danger which might then have been eliminate by re-
pairs caution
Of the partly prevcntablc causcs, including cleo

tancous combustion prcvcntablc and that all the
other causes had some degree of prevcntability.
The national board has rendered valuable public
service in preparing and publishing this information
showing the of preventablc fires, and thereby
indicating the method by which fire losses in Colorado,
amounting TO million and half dollars year, mag
be avoided.

Pueblo's Unemployed

In the first place. it fact that very few of these

idle because they cannot at this time get job 1t will
depend good deal upon what happens to them in the
next few weeks whether they pass into the ranks of
permanently idle, and contribute the restoration Of
the almost extinct species of hobocs or tramps
Another thing worth considering is that the present
lack of employment is passing condition of the
struetcn period after the There is very good
son to believe that within so days, 60 days at the
most the present period of business depression will
have passed, and the nation will have need of every
willing worker whose services be had 1t is not
question of providing permanent support for largo
class Of Idle men, but rather of helping them thru an
emergency that has arisen because of general conditions
and thru fault o. their own and that will be OF only
short duration.
From the standpoint of the public interest. it is far
better to give these the moderate amount of help
they need than it is to force them by cold and hunger
to n more desperate condition of mind and body 1t
may be true that many Of these newcomers

this city, but Pueblo American city must expect
TO carry fair share of the national burden of dealing
with the general situation it relates to laor
and unemployment The fact that many of these idle
