CRY MANAGER GOVERNMENT.

The department OF commerce. Washington.
has lust issued bulletin on the cost OF city
government In MusRogee where the city
ager form has been in force for some time
which is decidedly interesting because Of the
light Il sheds subject that is becoming
more and more matter OF controversy Just
recently Tulsa has been considering more or
less seriously the city manager form OF govern
ment, the proponents Of that scheme claiming
the most startling virtues FOR IT, therefore 1t
will be OF decided value 70 consider carefully
one aspect OF this form OF goyernnent, ts cost
Its comparative cost with other rorms---as
presented by the federal agency.
The aforementioned bulletin says:
The costs of govornment for the city OF
30. 1921 amounted to $t.23tStg which
he Ha' per per GSpS sost 'Ss' q In igs

capita costs for 1871 consisted OF expenses
Of general departments, s256l; expenses
OF public service enterprises, s3.63: pay

Il should be borne IN mind that In 1918 and
1915, the years with which 1921 are compared,
Muskogce had the commission form OF govern
ment. Therefore the comparison is between the
managerial form of government and the COM
mission form Of government And the result
Is rather convincing refuation Of the Oft
repeated assertion that the managerial form OF
.-sernment is more economical than other
forms
As matter OF record, based on reports OF
number OF municipalities which have adopted
the managerial form. there was never suffi.
cent grounds for this claim of economy. be-
the report OF the national commission on
the managerial form shows that with very
few exceptions the managerial form has re-
suited In an increased cost the claim being
that the effectiveness OF the government made
the increased cost worth while.
IN Muskogee however II seems that the in
crease in cost of the managerial form was AL
most double the cost OF commission government
In 1913. and more than double the cost OF 1913.
Two questions obtrude themselves at this point.
Has the managerial form actually increased

position and beauty are more essen
tial to wifehood than character
Would these men have II so? Is a
girl to believe that education, ma
ternity and housekeeping are to out
rank character, as these men say?
We don't want to believe It..
Beauty will always come near tn
-up with men. That is as 1t should
be. That Is part OF being n woman.
But beautiful woman without be-
ng good, without character, is a
person no man wants for wife.
In story read recently where the
young girl was to marry a man
whom she knew lacked character,
she wrote: This is. | believe, the
last truthful record shall ever dare
to make. Presently | shall have be,
come, not faithful to truth. but to a
zap. Whatever he proves to be |
shall be faithful to that, right or

DO men demand such Loyalty as
this? Are they satisfied that their
wives should sacrifice everything
noble in a woman. so long as they
love their husbands? Does man
want a wife's love and loyalty 10 pp

 The kid is there!
 That's what the Giant followers are singing these days. They opine that said Hale first name Edward, is due to draw much favorable com 1aent this season if he gets a chance now and then to show his wares with the worlds champions.
 Hale wants to star in major lea gue baseball partly to complete his athletic career. He starred in all branches of college sport while at, tending Mississippi college. In ad- dition to playing three years with his college nine he played with an ama> teur team in Mississippi in the off season.
 This is his first experience at pro- fessional ball. His brilliant work in fotbalI has earned him the position of coach at his alma mater next fall
 If speed has anything to do with it he ought to deliver. He can circle the bases with Frank Frisch and the other speed boys of the big show. his admirers say.

Mlninn Mathoda.

In the construction of the TetoI dam of the Yakima project in Wash ington the United States reclamation service will have added another note worthy achievement to It's already long list. The dam itself will be one Of the largest earth dams in the Unit ed States, having visible height of 29O feet and a length along the crest of 300 feet, with a top width of tWen- ty-five feet.
 A heavy concrete corewall will ex- tend through the full length of the dam and from its crest into the bedrock. The excavation for and placing of the corewall Is one Of the features of the work. The following method Is being used: Three shafts are being sunk from the surface of the ground into the bedrock. Drifts six feet high and five feet wide are then driven in both directions along the line of the core wall. After the lower drive Is com pleted, a second drift is driven imme- diately above 1t. The material from this second drift Is broken down into mine cars placed In the lower drift, and from there is taken to the shaft and hoisted to the surface. After the two drifts are completed the lower drift is filled with concrete from cars running in the second drift. A third drift immediately above the second drift is then driven, and the process Is repeated until the surface is reached.
