Diego, Cal., Asheville, N. C., and gary, Canada, are among the larg Nearly 450 cities in the United States operate under the scheme. Less than 10 per cent of adopting the plan have it. That is some measure of its suc- cess. Those abandoning it probably never should have adopted the plan, for not all citics are suited to such a scheme of government After all, the responsibility must be upon the elected officials with whom the city manager confers, as a pri- vate business agent does with his board of directors. Success of the y manager plan lics toa gree still in the officials t elect to serve with the city man: In theory at least, the city man- ager idea should be the best method of city government, but in practice it: is not always so. Local conditions often militate against this form of gov- ernment and the selection of a etal ager ig not always a wise one. The National Municipal League,| strongest and most active advocate of the system, defines it as follows: “The voters elect the members of the council, who in turn ap- point and may remove the city manager, a trained administrator and not @ politician. He in turn appoints and may remove all heads of departments, and, sub- ject to civil service provisions, is responsible for the appointment and removal of all other officers and employes in the administra- tive service of the city. “While the council may remove | the manager at any time, it may not interfere with him in ma ing appointments or removal neither may the council give or- ders to any employe in the ad- ministrative service of the city except through the city man- ager.” ‘This sets forth succinctly what the {dea is and how it most generally o; erates. Those advocating the plan believe it reduces political pressure upon public servants and allows! them to function along efficient lines. The theory upon which the city manager goes is that he is noth-/ ing but the agent of an importani, corporation and appointed to watch | expenditures and get the most for) the tax dollar. The plan is under severe trial just Jal- cities now and the next year or so should) give the city manager idea the same searching test which other forms of] public administration are feeling. | Michigan’s Brutal Crimes Just as the report of the Wicker- “Lawlessness in Law Enforcement, comes the news of Michigan's horri- ble torch murders, brutal slaughter with robbery and assault as the mo- tives.

Obviously it goes to the heart of the situation whether or not, as Gandhi states, a pledge by the Brit- ish government to the people of India can be relied upon. It is not pro- English prejudice on the part of the outsider to suggest that a deliberate jattempt by the new viceroy to go back on the terms of the Delhi agree- ment is hardly conceivable. More than a crime it would be in the pres- blunder. That is why the most rea- sonable explanation of Gandhi's charges is some misunderstanding. The cynical thought does present it- self that Gandhi has been. disap- pointed in his hope of arriving at an. agreement with the Mohammedan leaders, and that he would like to divert attention from his defeat. But that does injustice to his intelligence and his sense of responsibility. That he should heedlessly invite the risk of plunging India into turmoil once more is scarcely credible. ‘Gui tEU LANL.

His fingers bit into her soft arms. “It’s not true, Liane,” he cried, “Tressa’s nothing to me.” Tressa interposed, eyes flashing fire. “Of course it is true. What on earth do you suppose he asked me out here for? He's been mad about me for ages. You're not his sort and never will be. Why don’t you let him go quietly and decently so that he can marry someone of his own world? He's been making opportunities for me to be with him for weeks now. If you weren't! stupid and blind you'd have seen that he went through the form of having you ask me to stay here be- cause he wanted me to be near him.” Clive said steadily, “It’s a lie” Tressa screamed, “That's good! He's been taking me to luncheon. T’ve been seeing him at his office.” “I was helping her with some bad investments she'd made,” Clive said quietly, “She was grateful, or seemed to be.” His look implored Liane to believe him. ‘Tresea ran past them. “Ob, how I hate you both, smug simpletons that you are!” Her voice broke on shivered slightly. The spring night was growing cool. “Am I to take that seriously?” She turned to him, her soft eyes alight. “Of course I care what you do. It matters to me most fright- fully.” He stood there, arms folded, still incredulous, “Duty, perhaps,” he musmured, But not—affection.” eee Now that the barriers of aloof- ness were down she sighed in exasperation at his obtuseness. She motion to him to sit down beside her. “Do let's talk this out here and now.” He brought her a thin wool robe from the oak chest and wrapped it around her before he would consent to settle down, Liane pushed the bright drift of her curling bronze hair away from her forehead and looked straight into his eyes. “I’m dreadfully fond of you, You must know that,” she began softly. He made an impatient movement. “Ah, fond!” She sighed faintly. Would nothing make this mulish young man under- stand? She had an inspiration. She put her head on her arm with an abrupt gesture. It suggested tears. “Ah, don’t do that,” Clive im- plored, distressed. Pretending not to hear, she sald, “What, darling?” He gave an incredulous gasp. He said, “Did my ears deceive me? She shook her head.

She nodded, “I have for months. I thought you were just being kind to me and I was afraid to let you see.” She was established on his knee now. His lips were on the white triangle of her throat. “Foolish child,” he murmured. “All these wasted days!” “I thought you'd fallen in love with ‘Tressa,” Liane confessed, shrugging one shoulder in the di- rection of the vanquished foe. He laughed aloud at this. “Not a chance! I couldn’t see anyone but you ever.” Suddenly she said “I must get that book I came for. There's some- thing in it I particularly wanted.” He held one of her hands as she searched, She picked up the little blue volume and rifled its pages. A creased snapshot fell out. “There!” She held it up trium- phantly. “I took that from your room days ago and I’ve been carry- ing it about ever since, He stared incredulously at his own image. He crushed her to him again, “Sweet, sweet!” Clive felt her shiver in his arms. He swept her close, “Look here, you'll catch your death!” He lifted her high in the air and strode up the steps with his burden in his arms. Down the hall to Liane’s room he went. The faint rose light was still burning. He set her down gently, eee HE stood facing him, eyes down- cast. “What must you think of me. To throw myself at your head this way!” He laughed. “Remember I’m your husband.” She looked up, proud and glad, at the word. “I've never really dared to call you that.” ‘ He drew her to his heart. Very softly he said, “You'll dare to now, won't yout” “Oh, yea, yes!” She was glad to know love could be like this, a perfect thing without terror, With Van she had felt strained and unnatural, With this man, her husband, she felt only a vast rightness. She belonged here with him. Her sigh revealed pure content. He tipped back her head and looked deep into her eyes, “Let's go away tomorrow and have a proper honeymoon,” he muttered. “That first one was a dud, a wash- out” She nodded. She would go with him to the ends of the earth. “What ages we've wasted,” Clive said, “I've been such a fool, think- ing you were dedicating your life to @ memory.

Tressa had tried to balk her at every turn and always she had falled. Liane shivered. “What are you thinking of?” Clive asked, holding her closer. “I'm thinking I almost didn’t marry you at all,” she said, half-laughing and half-crying at the memory. Oh but she must have loved him always really. On the wedding day Tressa had tried to turn her from her course and had not succeeded. Clive had to be told this now also. His hands clenched and he paled a little. “The woman's mad,” he declared in contempt. But Liane refused to hate her or to hate anyone. She was too happy. “There's so much I have to tell you,” she murmured against his shoulder, “So much I’ve kept to myself for ages.” “We have all the rest of our lives for that,” Clive reminded her, struck by the wonder of it. He held her with the strength which twice before in the past she had called cruel, It was the strength of steel under velvet. She raised her mouth to his like a flower to the sun. Suddenly he released her. Bend- ing, he kissed each finger tip. “Your hands,” he muttered softly. “They're so lovely.” She was grateful for her beauty at that moment. She had never really appreciated it before. It was a gift from the gods and she offered humble thanks because it made her pleasing in his eyes. Suddenly Clive said in a flerce voice, “Whatever did you mean talking that rot the other day about a ‘divorce?” She hid her face. “I couldn't go on like this, I thought you werea’t happy, that you wanted to be free.” His laugh was a triumphant paean. “Looks like it, doesn’t it?” In the mirror Liane caught a glimpse of the tableau thoy made, Gold brown curls tumbled against cropped fair hair.

This man, named Cramer, suggested the use of green vegetables or the fresh juice of oranges, lemons or citrons, as a relief for this disease. Some other observers confirméd this observation. By 1804, sailors in the British navy began to receive rations of lemon juice. Whereas thousands of cases occurred previously during @ny year, the number was at once reduced so that the disease became exceedingly rare. 4 Among the Japanese a disease called beri beri was exceedingly prevalent.

At once beri beri practically disappeared among the sailors.

He is ¢ credited with perhaps the most important observation in the devel- opment of the knowledge of vitamins. It is important because it emphasized the fact that there was some sub-° stance in foods essential to proper growth and health. From that time on many other investigators have carried on experiments which have resulted in the vast amount of knowledge now available on food es- sentials. The name vitamin was given to these products in December, 1911, by Frank Funk. He thought at that time that he had isolated the beri beri vitamin in a pure state, and he gave it the name because he thought it was an amine subtance essential to life.
