Cappers Weekly. Running municipal government by the city manager plan is no longer an experiment. K is being adopted by city after city that wants better business management and lower taxes Now the father of the city man ager plan, Richard S. Childs, is ad vocating the same system for. coun ty government. Tile plan already is working successfully, and you'd never guess where -in North Caro lina. which we progressive West - enters have been inclined to think ot as a backward state. North Carolina's legislature of 1927 passed a measure permitting counties to try the manager plan. Several counties now have it in force. Others are planning to adopt It. Savings cflectcd under the county manager plan ns reported by Mr. Childs, speak tor themselves. In Davidson county, for example, the tax rate was 1.25 per $100 valu ation under the old plan of gov ernment. Under a county manager It dropped to 120 in 1927. and to 1.17 In 1928. Under the old system Davidson county's credit rating was C. Now It us A. 81nce the adoption ot the manager plan the county has been able to make short time loans in New York City at. 4 1-2 per cent. In this same county tax scrolls used to cost $181. The county manager now pays $39 for them. Tax abstracts they arc $4.50. Other states have been Impress ed by this showing and now Ohio Oklahoma. Iowa. Oregon. North Dakota and Missouri legislatures have the county manager plan un der consideration. "County government has remain ed the same In structure and al most the same In spite..'' Mr. Childs asserts, "as when It was first evolved 100 years ago to provide primitive machinery of local Justice for the farming and mill village country aide of pre-railroad days.” Under the county mnnnger plan the county commissioners, elected by the people serve the same as a board of directors of a corporation. They determine the policy of the county's government nnd hire a manager to run the business. If the manager does a poor Job he is fired. If he does n good Job he re mains In office. So his aim Is to render the most efficient and leant expensive service possible. He can't afford to play politics. TRUSTEE'S SALE OF LAND.

Two distinct- sounds accompanied (hr passage of u large meteor ovi r southwest Texm on June Zi last, of ; ueh brilliancy that at 4 to p in. it was : pen 30.6 .miles away. So far a; known it did nut. reach the earth. The sound' as repo-tec! In • Science i N< v York by E. II Wel lards ol '.the University of Texas, were first an "explosive noise o!t en heard m tin connection and t i ml. an unexplained w hizzing, whining a: from the passage of a .*,!■:% rocket Write* Mr. Wellard. : "Hie explosive noise v,aa ol such intensity as to Jar the buddings distinctly rind to cause the rattling ot windows at localities over an area north-south direction. The time re quired for tills explosive sound to reach the earth varied from pos sibly thirty seconds tor those Im mediately under the meteor at the termination of its visible course to one and a half or two minutes lor those at a distance of fifteen or twenty miles from its overhead position. Aside from the intensity no other unusual features arc re ported in connection with this ex plosive sound ‘‘The second sound reported to ac company the meteor is v holly un explained. Tills is described as a whizzing and v hlnlng sound and as like the passage of a skyrocket, through the air, as having occurred Instantaneously the flash of light Reports of this noise come from places as much as two hundred miles apart, and one hundred miles or more away from the locality where the meteor was overhead. “An observer at Leakey states that he was repairing a wire fence add was stooping over close to the ground fastening the lower wires. |ln this position he heard distinctly a whizzing sound which he at first supposed to be made by an air plane with the engine shut off. preparatory to alighting. Upon look ing up. however, he saw the flash I of the meteor. An observer at Hon do, about fifty miles east of La guna, says: 'I saw- it fall, but would not have seen It had I not been at tracted by the sound it made. It sounded “shhh,” and shot across the sky from southeast to north jwest.‘ A lady driving southeastward | by car some seventy-five miles [northeast of Laguna writes: ‘My husband, daughter and myself were driving from Kerrvllle to San An tonio that Saturday afternoon. I heard a buzzing noise, and looking out of the ear window saw a big ball of fire shooting across the sky in a northwest direction.' An obser ver at Winter Haven, sixty miles south of laguna, says: ‘I was sit ting with my back to the northwest when I heard a noise—or luss or a whiz. A dog standing near growled, and then barked. A Jady at Uvalde relates that she was lying on the bed by her north window when she heard a ‘whining whtstltng noise- which continued lor a sec ond or so before she looked up. Just after turning her head to look out of the window there was a long flash of light across the sky. The explosive sound of the meteor was heard one and one half or two min utes later. “In at least one previous instance a similar noise in connection with the fall of a meteor is recorded, this being a meteor which fell on Octo ber 1, 1917. Since the rate of travel or a meteor is much In excess of the rate of travel of sound, it is impossible that the sound wave propagated in the usual way eouid have arrived coincidentally with the light from the meteor. One must either consider some other possible explanation for the noise or must discard observations in essential agreement.'’ Orrhard Spray Notes. Apple and peach orchards should be sprayed in accordance with the following directions in order to produce fruit free from disease and insect injury this year. In spraying apples, make appli cation of spray when seven-eights of the petals have fallen from the blossoms For this spray use stand ard liquid lime sulphur at the rate of five quarts to 50 gallons of wa ter. Arsenate of lead must be ad ded at the rate of 1 1-2 pounds to each 50 gallons of spray. This spray is important for the control of ap ple scab and the codling moth and must not be overlooked. If dry lime-sulphur is used instead of the liquid, apply in accordance with the manufacturer's directions for preparing summer strength spray. For peaches use one pound of dry arsenate of lead plus three pounds of good stone lime slaked m a little water to each 50 gal f ns of water. Apply this spray "h*:i the calyces or "shucks whic.i surround the small peaches ar° shedding. Five pounds of hy drated lime may be used in place of the three pounds of stone lime. Mix the materials well by thor- ( oughly stirring before applying the spray. An Australian girl known as .'lartinn, 17 years old. appearing in a London revue, is 7 feet 7 inches tall and is still growing Fountain pen barrels are now made from fish scales. Fiance may discard the guillo-! tine as an instrument of execution and adopt either the electric chair or lethal gas.

K. Rector. a (iistina superintendent oi public • school*, but it doesn't- give much help to the pupils At a recent meet ing of the Protestant Teachers’ as sociation, tie read in the Brooklyn Times, Miss Rector pointed out that only a lew years ago school teachers failed to avow their relig ious beliefs through fear ot antag onizing other elements in school life. 'IliLs is all being changed now. Mi s Hector saj: ; but she points out that 030,0(10 pupils in New Vork are without systematic instruction in the fundamentals of the faith each is supposed to profess. Such instruction, she says, "is the rock foundation on which the charac ter-building of our children must Ire based," Remarking on this. The Times says: "Leaders In education are becom ing increasingly aware of the dan gers that lurk in the severance of morality, ethics, and religion from public instruction in ihe schools. There are, of course, no statistics to sustain the contention, but there ;aro abundant related facts to dem onstrate that the criminal ranks ! in this city are largely recruited [from young people, just past school age, whose acute mental processes : arc not clogged or hampered by |religious convictions of any kind. "Those who would aid in brmg Lng about a return to a sounder and more normal life for all the peo ple realize that only in the union of nil religious denominations in one great common effort can mor ality be reasserted and its return as a mode of life reassured The time for theological differences and disputes about dogma has long since gone. Tf religion is to remain, all its votaries must be united.'1 For Mayor.
