Politicians at the State House -ester-
day were surprised when Naval Officer
II. Otto Wittpenn, the Hudson County
Democratic leader, appeared as a Gov
ernor's Day visitor and mingled with the
many men in the corridors. 1t was the
first time in many months that he had
been at the Capitol, and his visit i'm
mediately started speculation as to wheth-
err he was preparing to announce his can
didacy for Governor or United States
Senator. This speculation was height
ened by the cordial way in which Mr..
Wittpenn greeted everyone and the broad
smile he wore. Wittpenn, however, in
sisted that his visit had no political sig
nifcance whatever. He said he merely
came to Trenton with his wife, who had
business with the Department of Char
tiles and Corrections, and was not both
ering about politics. This disclaimer was
not taken as a permanent one, and State
House politicians regard it as more than
likely that Wittpenn held brief confer.

Local Organization Is Doing Pub licity Work That Is Commended From Two Sections of
 Arizona

Boosting and advertising the city of Phoenix is not the only labor be- ing indulged in by Secretary Harry Welch of the Chamber of Commerce these hot and beautiful days. In reply to Welch' asking for lit erature exploiting the beauties and usefulness of the Winslow district, Secretary E. P. Conwell, of the Win slow Commercial club, wrote yester- day that they appreciated the inter est the Chamber of Commerce of Phoenix was taking in their section of the country, and also the entire state, but that their club had deteri orated the past few months and that a serious effort will be made to revive it. Pending that move, stated MT. Conwell, no literature could be supplied.
 If the efforts of the boosters are successful, the local chamber will soon be amply supplied with all sorts of pamphlets and booklets on that district of the state.
 w. Ward Davies of the Casa Gran de Board of Trade, of whom sup ply of booklets had been asked, re- piled with a supply that will be put on the counters in the c. of c. building.

THE EVAPORATION
 0F ROOSEVELT LAKE
Weather Bureau and Reclam ation Service Will Try to Measure 1t

Director Briggs of the weather bur eau is arranging for station at Roosevelt lake to determine the amount of the evaporation for which a great deal of sensitive machinery is being received. This is a more difficult problem than is supposed by people who never made a study of it for a great many things must be taken into considerations
 For instance, if two pans of the same surface area are placed side bX side it will be found that the evapora ton from both will not be
 the same, perhaps for the reason that in one of them the water is deeper than in the other or because in some respect the shapes of pans are diff ferent.
 The temperature and the depth of
 the water in the lake will have to
 he considered: the state of atmos-
 phere. the inflow and the outflow.
 The records therefore can be made
 complete for only one or two months of tho year since the inflow is meas
 ured only on the Salt and TontO creek At other times of the year many other streams whose flow is unmeasured. turn their waters into the lake.
 Notwithstanding experiments have been made in determining evaporation no precise system has yet been dis covered but it is hoped that the ex- periments to be made at Roosevelt lake by the weather bureau in CO., operation with the reclamation ser vice may result in the devising of an accurate system of measurement.
