—Aviation — MONOPLANE IS GAINING FAVOR WITH AIRMEN Fewer Amphibians Being Shown This Season by Manufacturers. ttv Times i'll NEW YORK. April 26.—New designs in airplanes indicate a steady trend toward monoplane. Latest designs. however, bear out the belief of engineers that there always will be a field for both monoplane and biplane, according to Aviation. Light sport and training planes are mostly of biplane type, while in transports the monoplane predominates. Despite the great opportunity for fiving boats, there are fewer amphbians and seaplanes shown this season than last. Higher performance Is being gained by effective streamlining in design, rather than by increasing power. This is reflected in the adoption of the low drag radial engine cowling, which increases top speed by five to ten miles an hour without increase in engine power. A considerable shift is evident in seating capacities of the planes exhibited so far this year. This was particularly noticeable because of the fart that three times as many two-plane have been shown this year as during a similar period last year, ’ruinating an effort to develop sport and training planes upon which the larger number of pilots ■now desiring experience may be trained. Three-place planes have not advanced in popularity, a lower percentage having been displayed this year, but the three-place closed plane seems to have gained in favor. The tendency toward the four-place plane is due to its cleaner cabin interior, as contrasted with that of the usual arrangement of a large Humber of seats. A decrease is noted in the number of the five-place type, while planes with six places are greatly on the Increase. Many transports having capacities of eight, ten and twelve person, were on view at the recent Ehow. Build Planes in Anderson ANDERSON, Ind., April 26.

IRELAND, ADOPTS CITY MANAGER FORM First European Municipality to Follow American Government Plan. NEW YORK. April 26.—The first European city to adopt the American city manager plan is the city' of Cork, in the Irish Free state, which will shortly inaugurate its new system of government, according to John J. Horgan, attorney of Cork, who drafted the new city manager act, in an article to be published in the May issue of the National Municipal Review. Introduction of the American system abroad indicates the widespread interest which the plan, now in use in 407 American municipalities, has aroused among students of proIgressive government throughout the world. The new system in Ireland is based on the same principle as the , American plan, with slight modi- | fications of detail. As in America, j "the ordinary methods of business j administration’’ are embodied in the Irish plan. $41,000 MANSION SOLD Former Jordan Residence Bought by Motor Firm Head.

HARLEQUIN SHOW IS STRONG ON SINGERS ‘Katja.’ a Musical Comedy, Is an Ambitious Undertaking for University Young People. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN IT is a far cry from Purdue university campus at Lafayette. Ind., to Monte Carlo, but more than sixty singers, dancers and principals make the jump in splendid fashion. The jump is made in "Katja.” grownup musical comedy by HarryGraham and the music by Jean Gilbert. “Katja” is the twentieth annual production of the Harlequin Club of Purdue and it was offered for the first of three times last night at the Mars theater at Lafayette. On next Tuesday night, "Katja” will be pre- I sented at the Murat in Indianapolis. “Katja” was not built for university presentation because it is a legitimate attraction and the demands are heavy, especially the singing upon the principals.

I can safely say that the singing of the chief prinicpals, Bob Wimmer as Leander Bildorf and Bess Franklin as PaWicia Orpitch, the two comedy parts; Gaynelle Campbell as Katja and John Bundy as Prince Carl. The songs, especially the sentimental love numbers, given to Katja and Prince Carl were beautifully sung, both having voices

that reflect training. The voice of Muss Campbell lias warmth and great beauty and she is able to read into the mood of the song the dramatics of the story. Miss Franklin is a cute and delightful little love cut-up in her frolics with Wimmer as Leander. They handle the comedy relief in a smart fashion. And

when it comes to dancing, especially the fan dance in the first act, Miss Franklin nearly lifts the show to a legitimate plan. ' Bundy’s strength rests in his voice but I am sure that some of his stiffness will be eliminated. But this man has a splendid voice and a good understanding of song. Again I repeat that the singing of the principals is the best that I have seen in any university show in ten years. I did not get the entire show as I had to leave before it was over. The dances of “Katja” are foreign instead of local as specialty choruses
