INTEREST WOMEN
IN CIVIC AFFAIRS,
CAMPAIGN SHOWS

Rock Island women are deeply
interested in civic affairs. as was
demonstrated at the Rock Island
Chamber Of Commerce campaign
headquarters this morning.
The first step taken after the
formation of the preliminary or
ganization for the expansion cam
paign was to mail questionnaires
To women inviting them to state
what they thought the Chamber of
Commerce should do for the bet
! torment of Rock Island. Member
/ ship roster of the Woman's club
was borrowed and QUESTIONABLE
was addressed to every fifth
name appearing thereon. The
recipients began discussing
the matter with theirdl ARR
the matter with their friends.
when it developed that not
Eall of them had received the ques-
gtionnaires. The organization has
been receiving numerous calls
from women who did not receive
the questionable but who are
anxious to have part in framing
the new program of work.
Announcement was made from
expansion campaign headquarters
that the association will be glad
to submit a QUESTIONABLE to any
woman who wishes one. as it is
desired that the organization be
truly representative of all citizens.
The directors recognize all suggest
stions from women must be given
deep consideration. as they -are
invariably unselfish and made with
"a view Of promoting the general
welfare.

'ayors City Manager Plan.

Fay0rS City Manager Plan.
Davenport, Iowa, Oct. 13.-Editor,
The Argus: l observe that the city
of Rock Island is intending to
change their fern of government
If YOU want the best city govern
ment in existence you should intro
duce the city nlanager-commisslon
form of government. Do not mis-
understand me. / am not out for
the position of city manager-it is
only that l am taking a strong in
terest in this form of government.
Possibly you have seen the play
or the movie The Old Homestead
and will remember that Uncle Josh
is the main character. l have the
same feeling he has, rather do good
than bad. About four years ago
when l was attending to my sons
affairs at Carbon Cliff, l took trip
in an automobile with our travelling
man and while driving through
Rock Island we were arrested for
travelling beyond the speed limit.
There were other cars that even
went faster than we did, but having
Illinois plates no attention was
paid to them. My travelling man
roaGe the remark, that we being
from Davenport was why your
traffic cop hauled US in.
So you see l have little Of the
Uncle Josh spirit.
The commission you now have is
Just about the same as the alder
manic form. But the city manager
excels it by far, as it is the same
as with large factory plant, the
manager is selected on account OF
his ability, and not on account Of
politics, religion or nationality. It
is also a form that gives the labor
middle and capital class all fair
and square deal.
Personally | would be pleased to
see you introduce the city manager
Plan. JOHN BERWALD.

cipal, this is as many as ever sign
ed up on the first night Of registra-
ton for the majority of the stu
dents wait until the first night OF
the school,
The English-for- beginners class
leads enrolment with %. The
hook keeping class is second with
IA and the mechanical drawing
class follows with Is. The machine
shop class which is limited to 10

Other classes for which inquiries
have been made are algebra. blue

hand, drivers course, which is
open to both men and women and
takes up road adjustment work
