We flew so far from the magnetic pole, 1,400 miles, that no trouble was to be expected.

Of course. ice forming on the envelope without doubt represents additional weight, but not such a big one that the extra weight is of im- portance. “It Is possible that the forming of jce might have had importance if the ship had been blown about in fog for @ long time.

Former D. C. Official Has Biggest Job of Career On His Hand BY ROBERT T. SMALI CINCINNATI, May 18 “Queen i of the Ohio valley, once considered the hotbed of ring politics and boss rule, is beginning to like its unique experience of being under the non-political rule of a city manager. When Cincinnati started out to get a non-political ruler, it went the whole distance. It engaged 0 officer of the United States Army, figuring that a West Pointer who had been in uniform virtually from boy- hood ought not to have any entangling political alliances. Cincinnati, so far to know, is the only today which is under the complete sway of an Army officer. However, Clarence O. Sherrill really is an for he resigned his commission in the military establishment Janu- ary 1, when he came here to take up hi# duties as city manager at a sal ary of $25.000, or something like five times as much as he was receiving in the service of Uncle Sam. Has Bigger Job on Hand: few ‘vears Col. Sher vill had been chief military aide at the White House, and officer in charge of public buildings and parks In the latter post, and through his training in the Engineer Corps of the Army, the colonel became ac- quainted with some details of munici al government, but since coming to innati he has found that running a big, throbbing industrial as well as | residential city is a far more difficult and complicated problem than ever | came to his hands in the Capital Several cities have had the services of military officers of the United tes in various capacities. There was. instance, the recent case of Brig. ien. Smedléy D. Butler in Philadel- phis. And more than a decade ago there was the case of Gen. H. H. Bing- ham. who became police commissioner | of the city of New York. Gen. Bing- { ham had at one time held the same duties in Washington as recently were held by Col. Sherrill. Washington, under its Federal commission form of government, has an active officer of the Engineer Corps on its board of three Commissioners. Conservative Cincinnatians will tell vou frankly that they looked some- What askance at Col. Sherrill when he first came here: they anticipated | something of a_ military dictatorship | in municipal affairs, or, at least, an attempt in that direction: but nothing of that sort has transpired. By his cool judgment and common-sense practices the colonel has completely disarmed prospective critics, and it generally is admitted that he is “good"” for at least two vears of com plete authority at the city hall, if not a longer tenure. Test Comes in 1927 Elections. The test of the new experiment will come in the Fall elections of 1927, when a new council will be chosen. Col. Sherrill was chosen by the sitting council. which was elected on a city- manager platform. So completely has Cincinnati gone in for a strictly business administra- tion that only one city officer, the auditor, is elected by the people. All others are appointed by the city man- ager. FEven the auditor is to come under that system soon The mayor, Murray Seasongood, is really fust the ceremonial head of the city—occupying a position somewhat like that of the King of England. His is $6,000 a year. Col. Sherrill has made something of a hit by his direct methods of doing things. Instead of heing an exponent of the red tape which is supposed to enshroud the War Department at Washington, he has been cutting the tape of the older methods and making city life much simpler for all whose business brings them in_contact with | the city government. The engineer- ing features of muncipal rule nat- urally have appealed strongly to Col. Sherrill: but he has shown his apti- tude in other directions. He has been found to be extremely broadminded and liberal in his views, recognizing the fact that it takes all sorts of peo- ple to make a city, as well as to make a world. He has retained the chief of police and has not disturbed the administration of the Fire Depart- men . When Col. Sherrill, fresh from the side of President Coolidge, came to Cincinnati, 41, months ago, he found the city badly run down at the heels This had_been the deliberate worl of the administration under the old charter. The Republican organiza- tion had become peeved at the peo- ple because they refused to vote for an added tax assessment. There- upon there was a declaration of an economy war.
