CLEVELAND. Aug. 20. - While
Cleveland, Ohio's metropolis. is pre-
pairing TO vote in Novembe upon an
amendment 10 its charter abolishine
the present federal plan" Of city
government and adopting in It's
stead the city manager form, two
other Ohio cities, which have given
more or less extended trials to the
manager plan are 10 vote upon re-
placing IL with something else.
In Dayton a petition. signed by
more than $4,000 voters, has been
presented. asking for submission OF
an amendment to the charter abol-
ishing the city manager. under
which the city has been governed
for nearly eight years. Akron,
which adopted the city manager
form two years ago. is also TO vote
upon a return TO it's former plan OF
government.
Opponents OF the city manager
idea allege that It is wasteful. mon
archical and extravagant, and that
the government under the city man
ager fails TO respond TO popular
sentiment. but that the manager

The organized attack upon the
city manager idea has a nationwide
significance. Behind the plan there
is an organization known as the Ma

president OF the organization; Har-
old w. Dodds. secretary. and Frank
A. Vanderlip, treasurer.
Dayton was the largest municipal
ity in the United States to operate
under the system until Akron adopt
ed the plan at an election some Is
months ago. The first city manager
in Dayton was Henry NJ. Waite. city
engineer OF Cincinnati. at the time
OF his selection. who took office on
January 1. 1914, at a salary of s12.-
500 per year. He served in that ca
pacity until he resigned during the
war to go TO France and help build
railroads to transport troops to the
front.
He was succeeded by j. E. Bar
low, also a Cincinnati man. brought
to Dayton by Waite. as director OF
public service. Barlow served from
March. 1918. until Feb. l. 1921,
when he was succeeded by W. @.

The four-piece suit has swerved
way 20 the head Of popularity. 1t
consists OF the sack coat with vari-

toward the Norfolk with the semi
pleated back and belt-but the sack
coat Is the accepted form in the
four-piece suit outfit.
Not only the golfer. but men who
don't play the game have gone in for
these four piece suits. since Knockers
