 As Naval Ensipn

Washington, Sept. 22 PD-After changing his mind several times Midshipman Karl B. Zirkle of Kan sas, was sworn in yesterday as an ensign in the navy. He first refused the commission upon graduation from the naval academy last June.

COUNCIL APPROVES
 OF WAR MEMORIAL
Unanimous Endorsement of Mayors Committee Plan Voted

Unanimous approval of the World War memorial plan having been voted by the common council last night, the proposition is today in the hands of the board of finance and taxation for recommendations as to methods Of financing the mon ument.
 Architect H. Van Buren Magonigle who prepared the plan has placed an estimate of s165,0O0 on the mon- ument, provided its construction is limestone, and in this amount he has included items for laying a cor nerstone and for creating a small fund for repair work and pointing" the monument every five years.
 Although 1t was expected there would be opposition. none was voiced at the council meeting last night.
 After the committee report had been formally presented by Joseph W. Roche, reading clerk of the com mon council, Alderman William II. Judd introduced a resolution that the plan be approved and referred to the board of finance and taxation for recommendations on financing, and that the memorial committee be continued as a committee on build ing.
 The alderman remarked that the report was so complete that no ad- ditional words of explanation seemed necessary. He complimented the committee on having secured the services of Architect Magonigle and said anyone who saw his work in the Kansas City Liberty memorial would fully appreciate the architects abil- ity.
 Councilman Thomas B. Fay sug- gested that the board of finance ob- tain figures on a monument made of Kentucky limestone and one of granite.
 Councilman Samuel Sablotslly said he had given much study to the matter of memorials and has reach ed the conclusion that a memorial shaft such as is recommended is more suitable than a building. He doubted, he said, if servicemen on more serious consideration would wish to play games and dance in building dedicated to their bud dies" and he was inclined to the view that a more solemn and ap- propriate reminder of their deeds was the wish of the majority, Economy" Johnson Does His Stuff
 When the fire board recommend ed that s450 be allowed Chief W. J. Noble to attend a convention of fire chiefs at New Orleans, Alderman J. Gustav Johnson arose to ask how the figure was arrived at Chairman C. J. Dehm informed him the amount was included in the budget this year.

Traffic Director M. o. Eldridge on

Mr.. Eldridge had made an ad-

the public.
He scarcely had time to sit down
when several members of the as.

to be heard-and virtually all OF
them wanted to be heard on the
all-night parking ban.
One garage owner protested
against the statement that garage
rents would be raised. Another
member wanted to know why, If
fruit vendors push carts were
barred from the streets autos
shouldn't be barred also.
But practically everyone else was
against it.

regulation will be drafted, if any,"
Eldridge said. adding that he would
not take one side or the other.
