In England, as well as here, it now, plays to “gates” which {s to say that we all can go and watch, if we buy a ticket. Formerly it was otherwise. Americans “big four” which will defend the trophy this year will with one exception be the same as that which brought it back from Hurlingham after defeating Eng- d,, two matches to none, in 1921. Srie Pedley, hard hitting Californian will be found at Number 1, the place formerly occupied by the vet- eran, Louls E. Stoddard. At number 2, America has the greatest of them all, Thomas Hitch- cock Jr., of Meadowbrook. Wat- son Webb of the same club, will be at Number 3 and our back, of course, will be Devereaux Milburn. A series of matches is in progress at Meadowbrook L. I. to determine y’ upon the above “big cup defenders, On thé English team presumably, we will find Major Barrett and Major Lockett veterans of many a challenge trophy match. England kept the cup from 1886 until 1909, when H. P. Whitney's four brought it back only to have an English team win It again in the first year of the war. During he World War there was no polo. igland’s mounts and men and later Americans, went to France. In 1921 Stoddard, Hitchcock, Webb and Milburn easily defeated a Hur- lingham four composed of Major F. W. Barrett, Lieut. Colonel H. A. Tompkinson, Lord Wodehouse and Major Lockette, 11 to 4 and 10 to 6. This year the matches are to be played September 5 and 6, with a third match if one proves necessary September 10. There was a little polo last year, the national open being won by Meadowbrook and the international army trophy by the U. S. Army, but this year’s match will overshadow anything we have had in this country since 1914. ————o——___ CAPTAIN SPING YARN OF CANNIBALS UPON ISLAND IN PACIFIC DRO, Cal, Aug. 2. }—Deepwater skippers of Dollar “around-the-world” ‘steam- er betting the reputation of being among tho briny’s most in- teresting yarn spinners. : First there came the “floating is: land" discovery, backed up by photo. graphs. Now along saunters Cap tain Kenneth B. Lowry, master of the President Garfield, who tells a thrilling story of cannibals in the Indian ocean. It happened off the island of Bo- cosmuto, according to the captain. His ship was passing the little blotch of land in the dead of night en route to Suez and Port Said. Knowing there should be a light on the island, the Garfield's quartermaster called Lowry’s attention to its absence. “Rather than take a chance on our course,” said the skipper, when the ship touched at this port recently, nchored for the night.

Louis Brownlow, the city manager of Knoxville, was a well known Washington correspondent before he quit wewspaper work nine years ago to become one of. three commissioners of the Dis- trict of Columbia. For his record of efficiency there, he was sought as the first city manager by the city of Petersburg, Va., a small community, at what was heralded at the time as an unheard of salary for a municipal official. The wonderful results he accom- plished in his three years in Peters- burg will be described in a sub- sequent dispatch to The Denver Post. Mr. Srownlow has written this dispatch in response to a re- quest to tell how Knoxville was able to declare a dividend, an achievement for which he gives full credit to the city manager plan, claiming none for himself— Editor's note.) KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug 2.— Universal adoption of the city Mana- ger Plan would not mean that every city would be able to declare a “dividend” by refunding taxes as the city council of Knoxville did this week when 10 per cent of the taxes levied for the current year was re. funded to the peop! The possibility of such an actual refund would depend entirely upon the peculiar situation in any city, for no two cities have the same con- ditions, the same traditions, the same municipal habits. Indeed, hard ly two can agree upon the question of what is and what is not within the proper sphere of municipal gov- ernmental activity, but I think it is true that any city which now has a government in which partisan poli- tics is not a controlling factor may by the adoption of the city mano form of government, soon enable self to pay “dividends” from economies made possible stitute of busines tical methods in the every day duct of its affairs. In Knoxville, the politiclans of both parties, sometimes tandem and sometimes abreast, governed the city for years, very much as do poli- ticlans everywhere. They looked upon public employment as “public office’ and chose for city officials men who would “obey the machine, as in other places. The machine here. was bi-partisan, but it held the voters in line and elected its men by talking tariff when garbage the issue, ringing in the good old party shibboleth for public delec- tation, while the spoils were more : less fairly divided behind the The waste and the inef- brought about revolt and the city manager form of govern- ment was adopted and a non-par- tisan, council was elected forthwith. ‘The new government began to think in terms of business instead of politics, It had nothing upon which to base its Raflatee but the exper- ience of the previous year, in which the old government had incurred a deficit of a million dollars, It cut the budget a half million dollars and it fixed a tax rate which would bal- ance the reduced appropriations. At the end’ of nine months, it was apparent that revenues were coming in better than the year before and it was equally apparent that all the budget appropriations would not be needed, despite the extension of municipal activities on a scale never r it- the by the sub- methods for -poli- con before know nin the city. A new system of accounting produced a daily report showing the exactbsta- tus of the elty’s accounts and the changes from day to day. A rapidly mounting revenue surplus was re- vealed. The council, a body of business men, said: “Let us take this surplus, at least half of what it will be the end of the first al year and give it back to the people in the shape of a 10 p cent refund of thelr taxes. Then we will not be tempted to extravagance this year nor to the establishment of an unduly low, tax or That was done and Knoxville has ndar to assist the federal agents in destroying it. As they broke a bottle, they would sling about three others in the bushes There followed tho wildest of nights, with everybody happy. Why not, with Canadian beer in quart bottles sof at six for a quarter, | “dividend.” Last yes 1 control, the tax avied was 54 per cent too the actual expenditures. This year, the tax rate and other re- venues produced too much money nd the business government paid it buck to the peuple in another elty, the people may have preferred the “dividend” in the of Kpoxville, Tenn.)| form of a new park (Knoxvillé got its new park also, during the nine months) or some other new munici- pal activity Knoxville seems to like hers in cash. The results of this new method of city government will vary us cities differ each from the other, but the same general prin- ciples apply everywhere. The people, as stockholders, elect a council to serve as board of directors. The council hires a general manager. He is as easily “fireable’ as he is hire- able and they don’t care where he lives or what he believes about high tariff or low tariff or whether he is for Coolidge or Davis of LaFollette. They do ask where he was trained and what experience he has had. Then the city manager hires the heads of his departments. He, too, inquires only as to particular fit- ness of a particular job. That means that politicians will soon be outraged because “‘furtiners” are being imported and high salaries are being paid. It also means that the city government will soon be paying ‘‘dividends.” When I wasecity manager of Petersburg, Va., the politicians there used to complain about a Tennes- seean being called in and down in Koxvnille, the same kind sing “Carry me back to old Virginny.” Even when I was a commissioner of the District of Columbia, I used to hear the complaint that three years vesidence was not really enough to require of a city father. The trouble with that is that the politicians don’t understand, The people in Knox- ville and the people in every city that has adopted the city manager jlan of government elect their own neighbors to the council. The coun- ul is the legislative body. It fixes the policies and controls the fin- ances, We city managers are merely nired administrators with some knowledge of municipal business. We carry out the policies adopted by our councils, having no elections be- fore us and never requiring votes. We do the best we can to get a dol- ars worth of service for a dollar. If we do not please the councils, we are fired. If the councils do not please the people they are retired. Generally speaking, the city mana- ger plan means these things: Trained men, higher salaries, more service, more improvements and less expense, and, in Knoxville, it meant also.a refund of 10 per cent of the taxes. Ses THEORY OF FLIGHT OF OOUND 15 EXPLODED HAMBURG, Germany (United Press)—The old principle that sound travels on the nearest route has not been borne out, according to the German observation of the Clearmont-Ferrand explosions. Instead of traveling 1.000 kilo- meters, which is the beeline dis- tance between this city and Clear. mont-Ferrand, the sound must have traveled little less than 1,200 kilo- insters, according to the opinion of the authorities of “Seewarte”’ ob- servatory. The first reaction on the appar- atus of Seewarte was registered one hour and five and a half minutes after the explosion occurred. Travel- Ing a@ straight line the sound should have reached Hamburg in little over 50 minutes. \Slight Change’ In Air Mail Schedule Effective Friday fective Au planes began leaving the Chey field at 8 p. m., instead of 7.15 p, m. the later departure being to ac- comodate mail from Denver which arrives by train at 7:45 o”clock. use of the new schedul enne and the fact that the days are becoming shorter and it soon wil be dark at 8 o'clock.
