After being passed by the assembly,
the bill 10 permit cities and villages to
hire city managers has been indefinite

sion of two years ago similar bill was
passed by the senate, but not by the

among smaller cities of the state to be
permitted to adopt the city manager
plan. and several of the smaller cities
have been eagerly waiting for the new
law to pass so that they could place
the plan in operation. Just what are
the objections to the plan is hard to
say. Ii was Assembly New
comb Spoor who defeated the plan
two years ago, while this year the
strongest opponent to the bill was Sen
ator Cunningham.
In each ease the opposition 70 the
plan has been aroused,by residents of
cities who have feared that the cities
in which they live might adopt the
idea and 20 under the city manage

know how to express themselves far too WE'LL and whose

RED CROSS APPEALS
TO COUNTRY DISTRICTS
FOR VOLUNTEER WORKERS
Villages Can Enlist for War Work
by Organizing and Contributing
Cash and Supplies.

Washington. April 20.-Pouring
into the beautiful Red Cross head
quarters in Washington are coming
thousands of requests from people OF
the country and small towns. asking
IL they can volunteer for Red Cross
war work.
The answer goes to all that they
are the very ones most wanted.
The war has changed over night
the popularity-conceived character of
the Red Cross. Heretofore 1t has
been largely an affair of the cities,
although this was never intended
when II was organized; but in the
cities have been found the chief con-
tributors and those with the leisure
to give to the work.
From now on the Red Cross is to
be universal in it's organization and
membership. Every small town and
rural community is expected to help
the Red Cross-indeed, they must
help II the service is to be effective
at the front. While the plans in
clude the sending of only one Red
Cross nurse to each 200 soldiers,
every nurse at the front will need
to be supported by several hundred
volunteer women at home. Hundreds
OF new Red Cross chapters will be or
ganized in the smaller cities as the
result OF the war. In towns and viii
lagos where It is impossible to secure
the membership for chapters, auxil-
iaries may be organized to cooperate

here-first by joining the Red Cross
at a membership cost of SO, which in

for membership. Red Cross head
quarters in Washington have full

activity in which the individual cares
to engage, and the officers say they
are glad to mail this literature on

What is probably the most import
