CLEANUP DAY FOR
 THE FOURTH WARD
Next Saturday Has Been Fixed as the
 Date for Special Activity.

Next Saturday. March Il, has been | designated by Mrs. H. $. Bury. vice
 chairman for the Fourth wari of the Woman's club "city cleaning" organi- zation. as the particular day for con ducting operations in that ward. Par
 ticular days for the other wards will probably be designated by the other vice chairmen
 This does not mean that nobody can do any cleaning before that time. on the. contrary the sooner the work is undertaken the better It only means that the campaign of education has been started in the Fourth ward and Mrs. Bury after this public announce ment will use all the energy and re- sources at her command to get the work under way. She hopes that by next Saturday when she tours the ward. she will find someone engaged In cleaning every weed and rubbish tot that needs it and someone picking up the debris in every private yard that may be improved by greater neatness. And by lots and yards. is meant also the proportionate area of street and alley that goes with each.
 It is urged that all who can do so, do not wait until Saturday but be- gin at once to put things in order That will not only get that much of the work out of the way but the moral effect of it on the rest of the residents of the ward will stimulate them to more energetic endeavor, and appeal to their civic pride. Some may need the week to plan in but others can begin now. and some who never would clean up. will be inspired to do so next Sat urday. when they see that it has be- come not only a fashion but an un- written law which cannot be evaded

COLLEGE GIRL HAS
 4 GOOD REASON
Editorial of Wellesley College News Tells Why Students Follow
 Intellectual Courses.

Miss Imogene Kelly, editor of the Wellesley College News and d Wclles- ley senior, touched upon ' point of vital interest to the people who are either for or against the higher edu- cation for women. when she wrote an editorial explaining the reasons the college girl has for continuing her studies. Her views on the subject are weighted with the authority of her position on the college paper and are based on her own observation and knowledge of the feminine tempera- ment.
 In brief. she asserts that the college girl would be married and not pursu- ing intellectual courses if she were as fair as her sister. who gets a husband and stays at home. which is rather cold way of stating it. However. she proves her knowledge of the subject by presenting an argument in sup port of her views which might he diff fidult to controvert Miss Kelly said: Most of the girls who come to col Iege do so with an object in view, to educate themselves in order to make a better living. The girls at Wellesley. as rule. are not beautiful. and for that reason these girls must educate themselves for the time when they will go out into the world and

 For the Indians have clearly proved their right to be known as the cham pions of Arizona They have lumbled the pride of the University of Arizona and returned to Phoenix in triumph. They arrived home yesterday morning, having won both the games they played in Tucson. Eight to was the score of the first game and s to 3 the score of the second.
 Not only the members or the team but P A. Venne and l.. J HolZworth of the Indian school faculty, who went along with the boys as coach and man. ager. respectively. say that they could not have been treated better. The uni versity students did everything in their power to make the stay of the Indians a pleasant one. In passing it may also be stated that the university ball play CTS did their best to defeat their op- ponents.
 Following is the Tucson Citizens ae- count of the Friday game:

ADJUSTMENTS
COILS SEUM.

Amateur night. Doesn't that sound interesting? And doesn't it sound promising? Yes. and the amateur on at the Coliseum this evening will be interesting.
 It has been a long time since there was an amateur night at the Coliseum. They always furnish unlimited amuse- ment for theatergoers. Sometimes. it must be admitted. the audience laughs at the amateur and not with him. Manager Reeves has been asked ire quently of late to announce another amateur night, and he has now done so, having lined up enough talent to make it interesting.
 Among the most interesting of the amateur acts will be a barrel boxing match Ramon -Valenzuela, the hope of Mexico. and Jack Johnson. Jr.. of the same color if not the same family as Jeffries' conqueror, will pull off this stunt They will stand in sugar barrels and swat each other, but when a scrapper biffs an opponent he is likely to tip over his own barrel. That's what makes barrel boxing con tests exciting. says George Barnes of Barnes and West, who is to act as umpire. George knows how such matches should be pulled off. which no one else in Phoenix does, since one was never seen here.
 Among the other amateurs who will compete for the prize is Miss Ethel French. gifted singer. In addition there will be several other acts. any one of which may carry off the prize,

The honor Of knighthood Is not one
which appeals to everybody. Coke of
Norfolk, who considered that he had a
far better claim than the speaker to
the designation of first commoner Of
England. strongly disliked-the idea Of
a handle to his name. This fact was
well known to George4v. When Coke
was chosen to head deputation pray

son and council those advisers who by
their conduct had proved themselves
alike enemies to the throne and peo-
pie George announced that he would
get even with him. "lf Coke Of Nor

II swear I'll knight him." The threat
was repeated to Coke. who rejoined,
IF he dares such a thing swear I'll
break his sword" And as the sturdy
Norfolk squire was quite capable OF
doing this. George refrained from car
rying out his threat.-London Chro'l-

Tuning a Bell,

"What a beautiful tone that bell has!''
is often heard. There are few, however,
who know how bell receives its joyful or
solemn tones. All bells, after they are cast
and finished, must 20 through process of
tuning, the same as any other musical in
strument, before they respond with clear
true tone.
Every bell sounds five notes, which must
blend together in order to produce har-
mony. The tuning Of bell is done by
means of shaving thin bits from various
parts Of the metal. 1t is as easy for an ex-
pert bell tuner to put bell in tune as it is
for piano timer to adjust his instrument
to perfect chords.
At first thought it would seem that
bell would be ruined should the tuner
shave off too much at the last tuning, or
the fifth sound, but such is not the case.
He would, however, be obliged to begin
afresh, starting with the first tone and
shaving the bell until it gave forth it's
harmonious sound at the fifth tone.

why the Wind Blows.

The wind, like other things Of everyday
life, rarely invites notice unless it 10 un-
usually "high", and rarely do we hear tl,e
questions, "Why does the wind blown
"Why doesn't the wind blow?"
What is this wind that PUSHES '.out Of
the nowhere into the here?" Why should
it blow .. all, or why sometimes so gently
and at other times with the resistless force
Of the hurricanef
The wind could have no power, it could
not even exist, il the air had no weight,
this weight having been shown to be
about 81 grains Cor each 100 cubic inches
OF air.
What causes the wind to blow or why
the air should be in motion Is not easy
to explain. Simply stated, it is caused by
the tendency Of hot air to rise, and thus
to form partial vacuum into which the
cooler surrounding air rushes, in much
the same way as water will rush down
ward to seek its level. II the earth were
smooth, il it didlnot rotate, and il there
were no sun, the cir would be motionless.
When the sun shines on a wide space OF
the earth, the air OF that region becomes
heated. This great volume of warm air
rises and the cooler, heavier, surrounding
air flows in to take its place. As the earth
rotates, there tends to be formed ring
OF heated and rising air with currents in
flowing at the bottom and at both sides.
This is the condition that prevails near
the equator and causes the trade winds
that blow SO steadily. The rotation Of
the earth causes the wind south OF the
equator to flow toward the northwest, and
that north Of this line to flow toward the
southwest.
