COUNCIL,
SAYS MAYOR

Mayor E. F. Ticer, Of Alexap-
dria, yesterday sent a letter to
the members of city council sug-
gesting that the council be in
creased to nine members, to be
elected by the people.
He declared it would be neces-
sary to obtain the sanction of the
State legislature and suggested
such a measure be introduced in
the general assembly next year.
Mayor TIGERS letter is believed
to be the opening gun in the de-
tense Of the council-manager form
of government, which is being at
tackled by a large group of citi-
Zens on the grounds that it does
not represent the people.
A petition signed by more than
1900 taxpayers, demanding an
election to determine whether the
city shall go back to the old form
of government, will be presented
to Judge Walter T. Mccarthy at
the May term of the circuit court
Monday.
A meeting Of the Independent
Voters Club, which is sponsoring
the petition for the change, will
be held tonight to discuss TIGERS
proposition.

ton of gas services in the city

LAUDS
MOVIE ADS

The public has made few COM
plants opposing the motion pic
ture screen as an advertising med
ium, but some have come from
competitive interests, r. L. Stro-
bridge, vice chairman of the
American Association of Advertis-
ing Agencies, told 200 executives
attending the annual convention
at the Mayflower today.
Movie Ads Grow
The use of the movies as a
medium for advertising while
growing, is still in the pioneer
stage, the speaker said. He said:
"It is easy to get pictures
made, but adequate distribution
is neither simple nor certain.
There is ground for belief that
properly handled it can prove
profitable for advertiser and
agent"
Citing four types of advertising
movies - industrial, entertaining,
educational, and direct advertis-
ing, Strobridge maintained that
sponsored films designed for
showing to the general public
should be deserving of places on
the programs of first-run theaters.
Talk Agency Problems
The morning session was de-
voted entirely to discussion of in
ternal agency problems, with the
motion pictures and outdoor ad-
vertising mediums receiving par
ticular attention. This afternoon
the delegates viewed an exhibi-
tion of advertising prepared for
the screen.

to Set Fire
To RuiLdina Failure

An alleged attempt to fire the
T. j. Shryock Lumber Company,
900 South Capitol ST., was re-
ported to police today by Chester
A. Jones, manager Of the cbm-
pany.
Mr.. Jones told police the place
was entered by forcing a rear
window and fires had been built
in two different parts of the
building. Both fires, however,
went out before any damage had
been done. One had been built
on a desk with paper, while an
other had been built in a room
nearby. The place had also been
ranSacked, Jones said,
