COMMISSION FORM NOW
ADOPTED BY 161 CITIES

Within the last two months thir-
teen cities have adopted the COM
mission form of government-one of
them, Omaha, having population of
over 100000. A number of other
cities are taking action under the gen.
eral permissive laws which were pass
ed by the legislatures last spring with
a view to the adoption of the plan.
The charter revision committee in
Sacramento. Cal, has completed it's
work and will submit to the people in
November one of the most unique and
intresting documents which has yet
appeared in the short ballot move
ment. incidentally it provides for
the shortest possible ballot-one COM
missioner to be chosen every year.
The charter commission in Port
land, Ore, is expected to report on
its labors this month. s
The total population of the 161
cities having this form is now $751;

LONDON, Eng, Nov. 16.-(Special
Correspondence to the Labor World. )
The gross profits of the Sheffield
municipal tramways for the last fis-
cal year were $65O,S21. The amount
transferred for the relief of the dis
trict rates was $l29,162. -
This latter sum, as the transfer in
dicates, is covered into the general
treasury and indirectly relieves the
rate of tax payers. Those who do
not own property, therefore, parti-
cipate in the profits Of the municipal

The Royal commission appointed
last August as the result of the dis

This means that the commission
takes the position that the compan-

BY A SPECIALIST


Thousands Of people suffer from bald
nest and falling haur who, having tried
nearly every advertised hair tonic and
hair-grower without results, have re-
signed themselves to badness and its
attendant discomfort. Yet their case Is
not hopeless; the following simple home
prescription has made hair grow after
years of badness, and is also unequal
led for restoring gray hair to its origt-
nal color, stopping hair from falling out,
and destroying the dandruf germ. 1t
will not make the hair greasy, and can
be put UP by any druggist: Bay Rum,

IDENTIFIES BODY
Of NAVY COMRADE
]. G. Esterline, First Glass
Fireman, u. S. NJ, Man.
gled by Engine.

Shore leave has ended for ]. G. Ester
line, first-class fireman, United States
navy, whose body lies at the norge to-
day.
Seamen say it's a pretty hard thing
for a man to go into the long cold room
of a morgue and pick out the body Of
his ''bunkie'' from among the still
forms there, but that Is what another
seaman named Betri had to do at 8
o'clock this morning. before Esterline
was fully identified.
Esterline did not die on deep water,
as is the right of most sailors. He was
granted shore leave from the United
States steamer Tallahassee early yes
terday, and at 11:SO o'clock last night
his mangled body was found on the
tracks near Union Station.
Officers of the Tallahassee will make
arrangements today to have the body
taken from the morgue and prepared
for burial.
Employees of the express companies on
duty at Union Station found the body.
How long it had lain there, or how
many cars had passed over 1t, could
not be determined, but the man had
been dead for some time. Still clad in
the uniform of the navy, his pockets
contained papers which led to his par
tial identification, which was completed
early today by the visit of Betri to the
morgue.
The young sailors movements last
night will probably never be known, for
the spot where the body was found is
an unfrequented one, seldom visited by
even the yard men. The police enter
tain no suspicion Of foul play. They
believe that Esterline's death was the
result Of the old story Of Jack Ashore. !"
and that he wandered to the yards and
was struck by a switching engine.

 first, and in doing so to first equip those offices in towns where there are large pay rolls. particularly with a large foreign population
 The first-class offices are in cities that are usually we'll provided with banking institutions. so that the aver age citizen can select almost any kind of a bank he desires in which to do his business. but there are many secOnd-class offices in which there are few banks, and yet where there is large Wage-earning population that desires tO do a small amount of banking business. particularly in the way of savings.
 For some reason the foreign popu- lation particularly seems to lack con fidence in the private or even the national banks. but has unlimited ducted solely by the government. This has been pretty well demonstrated by the postal banks heretofore estab- lished and the department seeks to supply the demand. whatever it may be.
 The Globe and Douglas postoffices have had the postal banks for sev- eral months. and the visiting post masters will have the benefit of their practical experience in the opening of their own institutions.
