Two Striking Examples

Hope that the campaign being waged 50
vigorously by the Junior Chamber Of Com
merce for council-manager government will
bear fruit is warranted by the support OF an
ever-increasing number Of community organl-
cations. The latest addition to the supporting
column is Chapter No. II, Disabled American
Veterans OF the World War, which adopted
a resolution endorsing the movement at its
meeting in the court house on Wednesday
night Furthermore, there is increasing discus
sion of the proposal on the streets and in Of
that the weight of these arguments is on the
side of the plan.
The National Municipal League, with head
quarters in New York, has issued a booklet
entitled THE Story of the Council-Manager
Plan in which specific cases of improved
istration exists are cited. From this pubica-
ton we Gull two illustrations.
One is the case Of Dayton, Ohio Many
municipal services accepted as common
place were pioneered by Dayton following adop-
ton Of the manager plan" we learn from this
aid bureau, free employment bureau for wo-
men and a crime prevention bureau. They are
named here not because they longer arouse
special interest but to show that this form Of
government is capable of creative activities
not merely routine administration as under
the old order. The other side of the Dayton
picture shows some of the city's economic
$a1l
hundred thousand dollars a year for gas con-
sumers by securing natural gas at "a cents to
replace artificial gas at IS cents. He cut unit
costs through adequate financial and admin
istrative control For example, garbage collec-
ton costs were reduced from $3.50 ton TO
s1.eo. Centralized purchasing and adequate
budget procedure were inauguarted to insure
proper control over expenditures
Centralized purchasing is one of the ad-
vantages Cincinnati claims under its council
manager administration. 1t is said that by
this means supply expenditures were reduced
from 10 to 20 per cent. Also the cost of paving
was cut 20 per cent, "although the thickness of
the concrete base was increased from five
to six inches and a richer mixture used" It
is declared that the saving to Cincinnati tax
payers on street paving alone during four
years is in excess Of $751;, 1000 annually.
While Dayton and Cincinnati are much larger
than Wilmington and the proportion Of their
savings through this proved form of govern
ment are necessarily greater than this city
could expect to effect, they serve as illuninat-
ing illustrations of the benefits available for
any city which changes its administration
along similar lines. Wilmington may expect to
profit materially when the present campaign
is successfully concluded

'Lucky Partners," At Maryland Last Of Next Week
COLMAN- ROGERS In
OUTSTANDING FILM
LUCKY Partners" Is Fine
Bill Coming to The
Maryland Theatre

Bracketing two of the screens
top favorites for the first time.
Lucky Partners brings Ronald
Colman and Ginger Rogers to the
Maryland Theatre next Thursday
in what is said to be the spright-
Hest comedy-romance of the sea
son.
From the ultra-modern sophisti-
Gated pen of Sacha Guitry, Lucky
Partners" casts COlman as David
Grant, an artist with a secret past
and Miss Rogers as Jean, a clerk
in her aunt's Greenwich Village
book shop.
Jean is engaged to Poughkeep-
sizes coming tycoon, Freddie, and
as soon as she earns a back ac-
count for emergencies, she plans
to marry him. Circumstances
cause Jean to believe that David
brings her good luck, and she then
urges him to join her in the pur-
chase of a sweepstakes ticket.
Intrigued with the idea, David
agrees, but on the one condition
that Jean shall accompany him on
a platonic honeymoon before she
i,weds Freddie. Freddie, it seems,
believes the nuptial journey is a
waste of time and money, whereas
| David considers the event essen
tial. This honeymoon, David as
sures Jean, will be strictly make
believe-they'll travel like brother
and sister.
Jean consents, obviously. How
ever, they draw horse, and Fred
die secretly sells the ticket, which
yields $4,000. David considers the
event essential. This falls on the
first leg of their trip, holly pur-
sued by Freddie who has come to
the conclusion that he doesn't
trust David after all.

Reason for this was that the split

play games with teams in other
divisions so that over a 3-year Pc

already has met Tech twice and
Eastern once In two years but has
not played Anacostia since 1898. It

No Big Ten Team
Is Headed for
Rose Bowl
Michigan Receptive.
But Conference Is
Due to Keep Ban
BY EARL HILLIGAN,
. z-z xr,-.A-

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-Neither
Minnesota's championship Gophers
nor any other Western Conference
football team will participate in this
winters Rose Bowl game, according
to sources close to conference
athletic affairs.
AS reports from other sections of
the country today continued to
mention Minnesota as possible
Rose Bowl participant, usually reli-
able observers here were contending:
Cd That the Western Conference,
at its scheduled meeting December
6-7 would not approve conference
participation in the bowl game and,
CD That even should such par
ticipation be approved, Minnesota
would not be the team to represent
the Big Ten in the gridiron extrav-
aganza January l at Pasadena. Calf.
Gophers Are Definitely Out.
For one thing, Minnesota went
definitely on record last October II
against conference participation in
post-season games. For another. 1t
is pointed out, invitations to par
ticipate in the game are not pre-
sented unless it Is known in ad-
vance. after "feelers" have gone out.
that the invitation would be ac-
cepted.
Wisconsin, in addition to Mime
sofa, formally has gone on record
against post-season games. Purdue's
faculty yesterday voted against the
Rose Bowl idea, and Northwestern
and Illinois are known to be opposed
to it. Thus. five schools are believed
to be in opposition-a majority in.
aSmuch as Chicago, having aban-
doned the sport, is not expected to
vote on the proposition.

Grimm, Former Pilot

As Wilson's S Aide
BoseboII Broodcuster
With Sense of Humor
Fine Handler of Men
BIZ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-That sport
adage-"they don't come back
didn't apply to Charley Grimm to-
day.
Grimm was Blackjack as coach
on the same baseball team that
fired him as manager two and one
half years ago. the Chicago Cubs.
James Gallagher, the teams general
manager, announced late yester-
day that Grimm had been selected
as a coach by the new Cub pilot
Jimmy Wilson.
Grimm, one Of the games most
popular players and managers, has
been a baseball broadcaster since
July, 1888, when he was replaced
as Cub pilot by Gabby Hartnett
The Cubs only two weeks ago dis
missed Hartnett and hired Wilson
A star first baseman for more than
a decade in the National League
with the Pittsburgh Pirates and the
Cubs, Grimm became manager oil
the Chicago Cubs in August, 1892
replacing Rogers Hornsby. Under
Grimm's guidance the Cubs wor
pennants in 1882 and 1885. The
season that marked his dismissa
as Cub pilot, 1888, was the one ir
which Pitcher Dizzy Dean wa.
bought from the st. Louis Cardinals
for $185 900 and three players.
Grimm probably will coach at first
base next season, but it was known
that Wilson requested him as ar
aide because of Grimm's keen sense
Of humor and ability to handle play
ers of temperament. Dick Spaldine
Of Philadelphia already has beer
named as the other Cub coach.
