IRATE CITY FATHERS
UNABLE To .ENTICE
MAYOR into SCRAP

Several of the councilman were in
a "hard-boiled" mood Monday eve
ming at the council meeting, as a re-
suit of the action of Mayor w. w. Zim-
norman in forcing the resignation of
ZAP Schneider, street commissioner.
Two councilmen, AL Ford and Joe
Waterman, told DR.. Zimmerman that
they resented the ousting of Schnei-
der, but the mayor refused to be en-
ticcd into a controversy over the in
cident.
Waterman Excited.
Waterman became greatly excited
in the course of his remarks and the
mayor attempted to rap him down"
with his gavel, but the pounding of
the gavel served only to infuriate
Waterman. II won't sit down." the
councilman shouted. You are not fit
to be mayor. l am not out of order;
you are out OF order yourself. You
can't bluff me-"
Above the uproar the mayor could
be heard to say, II am not trying to
bluff anyone"
at looks like you were," cried Wal
terman, who then took his seat before
the menace of the approaching SER
geant-at-arms, Henry Vogelsong.
Defends Schneider.
When Waterman took the floor he
declared that in his opinion Schneider
was one of the best street commits
sioners the city ever had, and that he
thought it a shame that he had been
forced to resign.
Councilman Ford stated that when
his wife demonstrated with the driver
of a city trash wagon for scattering
ashes about the alley the man laughed
at her, and then deliberately tossed
a spadeful of ashes into the air. Ford
asserted that if Schneider was now
commissioner the offending trash
ha uler would be severely reprimanded
or discharged.
Ford Indignant
"Schneider was an efficient, indus
trious official. Why did you practic-
ally force him to resign?" Ford asked
the mayor.
"Mr. Schneider was an efficient
man and l have nothing against him, y
replied the mayor.
Rumored Mayor Intervened
Monday forenoon, when it was
learned that Schneider had submitted
his resignation to the board of public
works, it was stated that Mayor Zim-
norman had demanded the removal
of Schneider on the pretext that
Schneider had not been loyal in his
attitude toward the mayor and that
he had been talking about him. All
of which Schneider has denied blunt
ly and emphatically.
Council gave it's unanimous approx
al to the plan Of the city school board
to erect a junior high school in West
Richmond at an approxima te cost of
100000. e~

answer the call Of the Wild. Again
the tom-toms will sound their wild.

The Hopi Indians little people,
living In the ages Of stone and
adobe, built their villages on the
hillsides. The only entrance to their
homes was through trap door IN
the roof, which was Immediately
closed against marauders. In those
primeval days their tom-toms were
constructed by tightly stretching .
cow-hide over q hollow stump. Vi
brating intonations were regulated
by the varied sizes Of outer castings.
The beating OF those kettle drums
when accompanied by the lighting
Of signal fires, was . far call to
warriors. In those days
the medicine men coordfnated ig-
norance and superstition with the
healing products Of Dame Nature,
in their attempts to alleviate tribal
suffering. An annual exodus Of the
tribe to localities where medicinal
waters bubbled from the bowels Of
the earth. an aperient from natures
laboratory, was ever ordered. There
the medicine men shook their
snake skin rattles, cavorted in CTR
cles, worshiped the sun. chanted
and walled, invoked the presence
Of venomous snakes, duplicating
the personal bestowal of favors
from the Indian messiah or Great
Spirit. The laxative (Pluto) springs
