$4,000 CHILDREN Of
. CAPITAL TO ENTER
+. SCHOOL TOMORROW
Supt Davidson Says Teach
ing Corps Is Excellent and
Predicts Good Year.

After being polished, oiled and re-
paired during the last three weeks, the
machinery of the public schools is
ready TO begin work on some $1,000 chill
dren tomorrcw morning at 9 O'Clock.
According to tradition, today is a day
of mourning among the youngsters, who
realize that vacation is at an end. But,
as matter of fact there are many
children, maybe half of them, who are
thoroughly glad to get back to the
schoolroom, the kind-voiced teacher, the
blackboards ana the books.
There are very few rough places on
the SMOOTH surface of this machinery.
There is a vacancy at the head of the
Wallach school; the rumpus over the
transfer of the business training course
for colored students from the Arm
strong Manual Training school to
the NJ Street school is not entirely
0uieted. and the pupils Of Randle High
lands. school must be organized in the
Twining City portable school because
the roads were too muddy to permit
nent building. Otherwise, however.
everything is ready for the pupils.
Figures will be available on the num-
ber of applications for admission to
attended the District schools before.
Also figures on the exact total en-
rollment will then be available Unus-
ual interest is manifested in these fig
ures because 1t Is not known how much
reduction in attendance of nonresident
pupils will be caused by the application
of the new tuition law.
Everything points to a successful
school year." said DR.. w. NJ. David
son. We have an excellent teaching
corps and the officials have everything
well organized. Every effort will be
made to lose no time in getting to work.
Necessary changes may require the en-
ployment of more teachers The num-
ber will not be determined until we
know how many pupils there are to
deal with.

ROOSEVELT CLUBS
 ORGANIZED AT PHOENIX

Fifty delegates from the 14 Roose welt club of Arizona attended the Phoe- nix meeting.
 A temporary organization was eff fected by the election of J. F. Cleve. land, of Phoenix, president, and Nose E. Kelley of Tucson, treasurer. A committee on permanent organization was appointed, consisting of Messrs. Fowler, of Cochise; Guild, of Pinal; Fisher, of Maricopa; P. B. Howell, of Pima; Sapp, of Navajo, and Molloy, of Yuma. The convention adopted a series of resolutions pledging the mem bers of the state organization to work for the nomination of Theodore Roose- welt
 Saturday evening the delegates all were entertained at dinner at the Ho- tel Adams, by Dwight H. Heard. Ad- dresses were made by Sidney Sapp, of Holbrook; w. M. Watson, of Tucson; Mott Guild, of Pinal; T. D. Molloy, of Yuma; R. s. Fisher, and J. F. Cleve- land, of Phoenix, and Judge Welcher, of Gila County. Telegrams were read from the Yavapai county club, and from Governor Hadley of Missouri.

quantity of water which flows out oi the faucet depends upon the water pressure in that particular locality. In the same way the quantity of electric. ty delivered over a single circuit is the product of the volume (amperes) multiplied by the pressure (volts)
 The electrical term for the energy thus generated in watts A thousand watts are called kilowatt, as this term is part of the metric system.
 In order to understand just what a kilowatt is, it is necessary to acertain what it will do. We know that a stream of water of a given volume flowing at given pressure into a tur. bine will generate certain quantity of horsepower of energy. A kilowatt is the mechanical equivalent of one and third horsepower. Electric lighting circuits usually carry no to 12O volts. An ordinary carbon sixteen candle power lamp takes little less than half an ampere in volume, and consequently consumes about fifty watts of current. As thousand watts are equal to one and a third horse power, fifty watts are equal to loss than seven hundredths of a horse power. A Tungsten twenty candle power lamp takes less than a quarter of an ampere, or about three
 redths of horsepower.
 It isa interesting to remember in this connection that horsepower is actually based as a measure of en- ergy on the amount of power that could be produced by a horse. In the old days before wheels began to be turned by steam they were turned by a horse walking on a tread-mill When the ingenuity of man had dis covered steam power it was necessary to have a measure that would convey what it could accomplish in terms of usage that were then understood. The man with steam engine to sell said in substance, My steam etngine can do more than ten of your horses" Hence the expression ten-horse-power engine. The man with the steam en- zine found it necessary, however, to be conservative in his statements in order to spread belief in his new-fang- ed machine. He understood, there fore, the amount of work that his steam engine would perform, so that a mechanical horsepower is actually a. good deal more than a horse on tread-mill can really accomplish. In the same way manufacturers of cleo trical machinery have found it neces- sary to rate their machines exceeding ly low. The rating of a machine is it's capacity to develop a certain power at certain speed In other words, popular incredulity has affected sci entific terms to such an extent as to render them not strictly accurate.

CURIOUS BITS
 OF HISTORY
DORIS LITTLE REBELLION.
By A. w. MACY.

The little state of Rhode ls- land contains only 1,250 square miles, but 1t is big enough to have had a rebellion of its own. In 1868 Charles I. granted the Rhode Island colony a charter, according to which only those owning certain amount of property were entitled to the right of suffrage. Curiously enough this provision was held to remain In force for 180 years; that Is, till 1a43. In f841 there was an agitation to change the provision, and 1t resulted in the formation of two parties, the Suffrage" and the Law and Order" Each determined to se- cure the administration of af- fairs, and each elected a set of state officers. The "Suffrage" party chose Thomas w. Dorr as governor, and took possession of the state arsenal. The militia was called out and Dorr was obliged to flee. He made anoth- CT attempt, but was overpowered by United States troops. He was tried, convicted of treason, and sentenced to Imprisonment for life. After tho excitement died out he was pardoned and the people adopted the present free constitution.

THE EPWORTH LEAGUE
 VISITED BARD SUNDAY
(From Monaay's Examiner)

(fTOIE MOuudy EAdulIHcTJ
 Yesterday a number of the members of the Epworth League of the M. E. church took a trip to Bard and visit ed their league.
 They left Yuma about 11:00 o'clock and arried at the home of MT. and Mrs. Phillips at 2:30. Lunch was then secured, which had been prepared by members of the party, and never was a lunch more heartily enjoyed.
 The short time spent at the Phillips home was enjoyed in various ways. Some took pictures, others walked over the large canal, which was about a half mile from the house, while oth- CTS took advantage of that time by resting.
 The League meeting was one of the most enjoyable features of all. The subject was indeed beautiful one, we'll brought out.
 Never was there a more perfect evening for the long delightful hay-ride home, and all declared it was very successful day.

THE WHY OF AN AMPHERE 0R 4 K|LOWA7T
 READ THIS ELECTRIC TALK AND LEARN ABOUT II

Every business has it's own language and nomenclature. The average Wall Street operator, for instance, can tie neophyte's brain into hard knots in the course of a few moments conver- sation on fiscal matters. But the busi ness which presents itself to the lay man as the most hopeless riddle IS electrical manufacturing. Dr. Schuyl CT Skaats Wheeler, of Ampere, N. J., recently deplored in public utterance the spirit of opposition which has grown up between the electrical en. gineer and the world at large.
 "You cannot talk in electrical terms to the average layman,' he said, with out soaring him to death. The mention of anything as abstruse as induction coils is sure to set his wits to wander ing. A certain method of immediately losing your auditors attention is to make use of a technical term"
 Electricity, like Browning, is not difficult to understand if you approach it fearlessly, undaunted by the ''Elec- trictalk," which has been coined dur ing the last couple of decades. There is a definite, logical reason why each one of the terms is in use, and in an other decade they will be as familiar to that part of tn epublic which i. interested as automobile talk is fast becoming to the public at large. At present "Electrictalk" makes the av, craze man feel that "be it ever so tumble, there's no place like ohm.''
 The units of measurement are the basis of "Electrictalk" = amperes, volts and watts Ampere is the name of the Frenchman who discovered how to measure electric current. The unit of measurement was therefore called an ampere in acknowledgment of his valuable discovery. Electricity may be best compared to water flowing through a pipe. The volume, or gal Ions of water, correspond to the vol ume, or amperes of electricity. But water may flow at a greater or less pressure. A thousand gallons of wa ter flowing through pipe at one pound pressure to the square inch, would just dribble out at the end. Under a thousand pounds pressure to the square inch it would shoot out of the pipe with fierce energy. The number of pounds of pressure under which water is flowing corresponds to the number of volts of pressure under which an electric current is flowing.
 The energy with which water flows out of a pipe is the result of the vol ume of water and the pressure under which 1t is flowing. Everyone has noticed how much faster water flows out of a faucet in one place than it does out of a faucet in another. The
