week. This is in connection with the statewide survey of employ ment which the commission is un- dertaking.
 The unemployment commission which was created by the last gen. eral assembly, and whose chair man is James W. Hook of New Haven, will use this statewide sur vey to collect specific information regarding actual conditions of em- ployment in all types of business, indicating localities and industries most affected and problems which warrant more intensive study.
 The information for the survey will be obtained through the CO., operation of employers of labor. in all fields of business. Each person employing five or more individuals will be called upon and asked the numbers employed at present as compared with three years ago Where the numbers have decreased the commission desires to learn to what extent causes, such as the in- troduction of machines or simpli- fled methods. have augmented the main cause of decline in business out of which has resulted the pres- ent unemployment situation.

Prof DOdds at
 Church Forum
Defended the City Man= ager Form of GOver=
  ment

Professor Harold w. Dodds of Princeton university spoke last night at the Second church forum on the city manager form of gov ernment. He explained the system but admitted that it will not cure the ills prevalent in other forms but will aid considerably in bring ing about efficiency in city govern ment if properly conducted. He stated that city managers of cities to-day were men trained to run city governments. However, he stated, there is good government under the mayor form, for instance the city of Milwaukee where Mayor D. w. Hoan has been in office since 1916 and where a $4,OO0,000 surplus is now in the treasury.
 Only IA of the cities that adopt ed the city manager form of gov ernment so far have given up the plan. The speaker explained that political powers are busy when the city manager is in office and he cited the case of Cleveland where the city manager system was given up due to political pressure.
 According to Professor Dodds where it is the inalienable right of the American people to govern themselves it is their duty, never theless, to get the best government.

"a INVOLVEMENT Is made by Mrs.
"A Wilson, Greene that Lawrence Tib-
bett, baritone of the Metropolitan Opera
Co., who is announced as the opening
attraction in Mrs. Wilson, -Greene's eve
ming series OF concerts at Constitution
Hall next season, will appear there on
Friday evening, October 81. at $50
O'Clock, instead of on Saturday evening,
October %, as previously announced.
All other concerts in this series will be
given on Saturday evenings.
Mr.. Tibbett, a star of opera, concert,
radio and the screen, is at present en-
joying a three-month vacation abroad,
the first real vacation he has enjoyed in
four years, due to the fact that his
Summers have been spent in motion
picture work and his Winters devoted
to music, radio, concert and opera. De-
spite the popularity Of Tibbetts pictures
abroad and the welcome from music
lovers that naturally awaits him there,
the baritone will accept no concert en-
Eagements during his European holiday.
The only work Tibbett is doing in
Europe this Summer is studying the
script of Eugene O'Neill's Emperor
Jones'" which is now being set to music
by Louis Gutenberg and which will be
produced at the Metropolitan Opera
House this coming season, in New York,
with Tibbett creating the title role. The
opera will be presented in two acts, it
is said, and will offer many highly dra-
matte effects.

General improvement in the feet
Naval Reserve divisions was found by
the United States Naval Inspection
Board, during its tour Of the organi-
cations, in the early part of the year,
according to the report Of the board,
Just made public. While the board
found that some progress has been
made in the methods of instruction, 1t
added that the Reservists are capable of
and should show much more improve
ment in this respect.
The board also reported that those
divisions which have been able to en-
list the interest and support .of the
community were generally found to be
above the average in efficiency and
morale. It pointed out that It is the
duty of an officer commanding a Re
serve unit to place his organization be-
fore the public in a favorable light in
order to secure the interest and support
of the community with resulting in
crease in pride, spirit, drill and cruise
attendance, and a higher type of per-
sonnel.
The report said the efficiency Of Of
ficers will be materially increased by
the possibilities offered through the
study of the new correspondence courses
in gunnery, seamanship, visual COM
municationS, engineering, Navy regu-
lations and in navigation strategy and
tactics and International law. In a
few cases engineer officers were found
in command Of deck divisions and bat
talions. The belief was expressed by
the inspection officers that these should
study and qualify for deck duties as
well, or be confined to the command
of engineer divisions. except in isolated
instances where no other officer is
available for command. 1t Is believed,
the board commented, that in many
instances more encouragement should
be given to r. o. T. c. graduates to
associate with the divisions with view
to filling vacancies in the fleet class
when occurring. The ma ajority of officer
personnel of the fleet Reserve appears
earnest and energetic and seems to
have the good of the Navy very much
at heart, the report continues.
Dealing with the question of vessels
for training purposes, the report said
the board feels the presence of Eagle
boats or other training vessels should
be taken advantage of by Reserve units
to conduct drills and instruction, par
ticularly for engineer personnel on
board during the weekly drill periods.
By this means the theoretical knowl-
edge gained In drill and instruction
periods in the armory may be con-
firmed and the personnel given a work
