Special Session of. Council The general collapse of the city administration, arising from the resignation of the president of the board of works and the city attorney, as well as from the absence of a city court ju3ge, resulted in the calling of a special session of the city council to meet tonight. The purpose of the meeting, says the notice served on the city clerk, is to inquire into the conduct and actions of Mayor Zimmerman. No one will deny that municipal affairs, in

Richmond are in a bad way, and that the city lacks a capable executive. The city council

should be encouraged by citizens generally to ask for the resignation of Mayor Zimmerman. The man himself, whose physical condition militates against a successful administration of public affairs, should realize that he owes to the city, which has repeatedly honored him with election to office, the duty of quitting. The situation is approaching a serious crisis. Council should not halt with a half-way measure, but energetically proceed to provide the city with an executive head. The municipality cannot wait for 90 days before it undertakes the task of re-organization. Council should follow at once the legal steps necessary to declare the mayor-: city's office vacant so that a successor can assume the executive duties. In the meantime, city officials might well heed the warning issued by President Gilbert when he criticized what he believed to be extravagant expenditures in the city affairs. The city has need to practice economy of the most

rigi4 kind. The deficit in the treasury of tha mnnicrpal light plant shows how badly the city ia in need of money. The loss of Mr. Gilbert and of Mr. Bobbins will be felt keenly. Both were competent officials and di good service in keeping the administration from going to pieces. Both gave to the

city's affairs a conscientious service, and their counsel was sound and trustworthy. It is to be

regretted that they are retiring. If Richmond needs further proof of the advisability of supplanting the present system with a managerial or commission form of government, developments of the last few days ought to supply the necessary evidence.

Care Need in Drafting Home Rule Bill Citizens of Richmond, convinced that change in the FORM of municipal government

desired, must not deceive themselves into believ

ing that this change can be put into effect at once.

Even if the special session of the legislature would pass a law giving cities home rule, the

present city officials would hold their office un

til their terms expired, which is next year.

Immediate remedial changes, therefore, are

impossible. The present system will remain for

a year. But that does not mean that a capable

mayor should not succeed the present incumbent

Mayor Zimmerman should be asked to quit

the office. If the legislature should pass a bill giving cities the right of determining the form of government they want, the election determining this change would not be held until next year, and the new system could not be inaugurated until tha present administration ha3 served the term for which it was elected. A home rule bill will demand careful study and should not be enacted until it has been thoroughly analyzed. There are as many pitfalls in a managerial form of government as in the old

system. These can be obviated only by the careful forethought of the people who draft the measure.

NBW PRESIDENT OF U. S. EDUCATORS

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

NOTHING COLLAPSES. In a city where I was on business recently, the entire town was startled by the death of a prominent man who, in a moment of great discouragement, had taken his own life. His only reabo given for the act, was that the country was about to collapse. But nothing collapses! The greatest lesson that history or science teaches Is that nothing ever really goes to pieces. Change Js always going on. No single day presents the same man or woman, or tree, or house, or machine, in exactly the same state. All the time something 13 crumbling but always to form some

thing different and better. The walk of the world is forward and outward Into the whole. When one civilization goes down, as Is written, It really falls that something greater may take Its place. If a thing cannot stand on Its own legs, other legs will have to come and maybe a new and different body! While writing this little talk, I look over the waters of a beautiful lake, rich in historic Incidents. Beyond its

edges are great mountains, steel grey against the sky, and tall pines reach 'hundreds of feet into the air, forming a wonderful lace-like fringe at the foothills. But a few centuries ago, this spot 1 wag a flat plain till great glaciers grooved it and formed what is here today. Nothing collapses. Not even behind the curtain of jmarching armies does utter collapse jcome, terrible as Is their devastation. For the same God who makes the (yellow and white and purple flowers,

and warms the floor of the earth with Ills carpets of green, also "keep watch above Hia own" and is not going to let anything collapse.

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

"Innocent Party Declared Guilty Friends Are Greatly Shocked by Exposure In Open Court. After bearing a spotless reputation for a great many years and living a3 a highly respected member of the community. Old Man Buttermilk has been arraigned before Judge Hastings in the city court at Wilmington, charged with Intoxication. Dr. Herbert Watson, state chemist, the principal witness for tbe prosecu

tion, gave the sensational testimony that the defendant contains 3 per

cent alcohol.

Every man who carries a bottle of

buttermilk on his hip is liable to prosecution under the Volstead act. There was great excitement and considerable chagrin and embarrassment among the friends of Buttermilk. However, the exposure gave the de

fendant an entirely new following, and .

it is thought he will do a larger business than ever. The community was greatly shocked to learn that thl3 Innocent old party carried such a kick, and the reason

for the popularity of Buttermilk in the past, in certain circles. Is now explained.

Mahan, city controller, and M. J. O'Brien, president of the sinking fund commission. Controller McMahan said that the plan was to guard against an administration spending all the money in the municipal light fund for repairs on the plant which might be unnecessary.

Since modern science has at last brought forth the amazing facts of how people become weakened and rundown, pale and haggard, careworn and prematurely old often simply because of the lack of those life-giving substanc-the vitamines most astonishing results are being reported everywhere. The remarkable experience of nervous, delicate, sallow-com-plexioned women worn, fretful and unattractive would surely seem to show that practically any woman who is not afflicted with some organic disease may often quickly build up the radiant life, splendid vitality and matchless beauty of perfect health simply by getting sufficient vitamines into her system. In explaining the startling success being obtained by administering vitamines in the concentrated form known as Vitamon. when practically everything else had failed, Dr. John J. Rudolph, .former Health Commissioner, late of the New York Post-Graduate Medical School and Hospital, and Columbus Hospital -of New York, and a Graduate of the University of Baltimore, 6ays: "Don't blame your physician or the beauty specialist don't blame your creams, lotions or cosmeticsand don't blame yourself if your

HOW NEAR "THE PERFECT WOMAN" ARE YOU? CONSULT THIS PICTURE AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF By means of the picture which appears above, every woman can easily check herself up on many of the points which most vitally affect her health, appearance and the happiness of her whole life. This Illustration should enable you to decide for yourself exactly where you stand and In Just what particular ways your own health, charm and physical attractiveness may be Increased. Read in this article how you may get in VITAMON these strangely marvelous substances the vitamines which science declared absolutely necessary to vigorous health, physical beauty, mental vigor and even to life itself.

Usts have found to be responsible lq great measure for the. weakened, rundown and nervous condition of countless numbers of women. It i3 this lack which gives such a haggard, careworn and prematurely old appearance and keeps thousands from looking and feeling at their best.

"Nature Eupplles vitamines in various raw foods, but to attempt to eat enough of these raw foods to get the full amount of vitamines which the system requires for health and strength is almost a physical impossibility. Therefore, vitamines are now prepared in a concentrated, easily as

similated tablet form called Vttamoa and numerous tests by men. women and children have plainly proved its extraordinary merit. There has come to my attention the case of one woman who thought her health and beauty had gone forever. Yet, once the needed vitamines were supplied, a most astonishing change quickly took place. It is such instances as these

which absolutely convince me that with the introduction of VITAMON there no longer seems any doubt that many a pale, anaemic, delicate woman may quickly build herself up to renewed vim and power and marvelously enhance the beauty of her appearance.."

Note: An agreement has been reached whereby VITAMON is supplied at a price low enough to be within ' tbe reach of all, and completely satlifac- . tory results are guaranteed or money will be promptly refunded. VITAMON may now be obtained in this city from all leading druggists, such as Thlstlewaite. Ijffer & Ppanagal. Qulgley's, Foster and A. G. Luken.
