THE CITY MANAGER
In an lionest and sincere effort to improve civic con
ditions generally the city council this week changed from
the old councilmanic form of government to a modified
form of the city managerial system.
In theory, at least, the city manager form is an im
provement on the councilmanic form. It has proven its

for a period of six months, and if, within that time, it
proves its worth, it will be continued indefinitely. If not,

for a wife, all the rest would help him protect his claim
over her. It was as a result of this oath that tlie legendary
Trojan war was fought for 10 years, on account of Helen
being carried off by Paris, sou of the king of Troy.'
Many women conquer men by the power of beauty,
