LIGHTS FOR SCHOOL

Interesting to many people who live outside of the gas" district is the announcement that the Glendale high school has contracted for the install latfon of a plant whercwith to manu- 1 fracture lighting and fuel gas from gasoline. The installation will be made by the Perfection Gas Machine company of this city. which has the state agency for gas generating device which seems to he thoroughly practical and reliable as well as in- expensive to operate. J M. Arnoldy
 the manager of the concern states that due to the great satisfaction given by their plants in operation here that they are making q very good sales record in this, their first season here. One of their largest installations was that for the high school at Benson. where the gas is used for the domestic science and chemistry departments as well as for lighting and water-heating. The ma chine is entirely automatic in opera tion and requires only a minimum of attention.
 Among the plants in operation in and near Phoenix are those at the homes of F. H. Ryno at the corner or I'tn street ana van Bufen, ana at the home of Fred Larsen. Other sales have been made to Judge Langs- ton. J. H. Williams, H. A. Severing hous, Earl s. Ream, J. J. Butts and others.
 Because of the reasonable price of the plants and the low cost of opera ton. there is very large field for them in this valley. where on account of climatic conditions delight ing plant is so very desirable In many instances the gas is produced at a cost of soc thousand feet, which makes it's use economical as well as convenient.

NEW INVENTION
 ACHIEVES FAME
Submarine Diving Tube Will RevoIutiOnize Meth ods of Salvaging Wrccks and Recovering Nalu- able from Bed of Ocean

Billions of dollars in gold, silver, ivory. copper. and all sorts of prec- ious stones have been lost in ships at
 sea. only in a very few cases have
 these ships been raised or deep sea { divers been able to recover the lost treasure. This vast amount of wealth
 had been given up as lost forever
 Co the world. but now there is a hint
 that much Of it may be restored through the invention of the subma
 rine tube. which has just been com pleted by Ernest and George Will
 iamson, sons of an old Scotch sea captain of Norfolk, Va.
 ] This wonderful tube has been eX- l tended already to the length of 25O | feet, and under it's present method of construction it can be safely length ened to 1000 feet. By means of it l Ernest and George Williamson have been able to take motion pictures at the bottom of the sea near the Ba- hama islands. showing a q series of most unexpected, fascinating and brilliant scenes.
 A majority of the great wrecks of history. that is, of boats that went down known to have been well loaded with treasure. have occurred in water at depth much less than the length of the tube. as il has so far been constructed. and these are compari- lively near the shore. Many of the great treasure ships of history have been wwrecked near the African
 coast, and it is safe to say that not per cent. of the treasure thus lost
 has ever been recovered.
 That the invention has been used for the motion picture was mere
 bye play on the original idea at
 first; their purpose was to provide
 method of descending into the sea
 safely so as to get under-sea growth of value and sponges. Lost treasure
 and so forth. as well as to repair the tube that the men work on such an
 enuga cement, it was found that
 motion picture could be wored. No
 sooner said than done. and in con
 sequence the second expedition of
 the brothers in their new :rStru- Ament was provided with equipment
 for the motion camera and the won
 derful pictures that are being shown
 at the I.amara today is the result. There are seven reels of these great pictures that are being shown at the Lamara and they show every
 conceivable ind of under sea activity. Diving boys struggles beneath the
 water, fish fights. monsters that
 were scarcely dreamed of. to say
 nothing of the beauties that have
 heen brought to the ken of men.
 The coming of these pictures to this
 city is an epoch.

FIT zGERALD TO
 LEAVE THE Y"
Popular Physical Director Resigns; Will Take Up Broader Work in Other Association; Boardlnan Succeeds

Rather startling, and certainly very disappointing to his friends, came the announcement yesterday of the resignation as physical director of of E. G. Fitzgerald of the Young Mems Christian association.
 R. R. Boardman. present boys sec retary, will take up the work.
 The financial condition of the local association, which seems to prohibit keeping a high class salaried man, is given as the reason for MT. F'itz- gerald's departure.
 For a number of years-in fact, since the Y. NJ. C. A. got started here. Physical Director Phytz has been the big noise~ in the athletic department. The success of that branch of the work has been his sue cess, and he has made it most popular feature. Large classes have been formed. numbering members from the boys division right up to the business men of the city. For a time, as head of the boys work, while the regular men have been off, Fitz has worked with the kiddos, making himself one of the most pop ular handlers of the youthful athlete.
 Fitzgerald has several openings be- ing urged upon him, one of the best being physical director of the Y at Dallas. a city of 13O,000 people. But he is anxious to branch out into the general secretaryship work and may wait until an opening in that line IS offered.
 The resignation. which follows, is characteristic of "Fitz:
 To the Board of Directors of the
 Phoenix Young Mems Christian
 Association.
 Gentlemen: Realizing the present financial conditions in Phoenix, and also the financial conditions of the association, and knowing that some rotrenchment is necessary at this time, I believe it to be to the best interests of the association, as well as to myself. that I tender my resignation to take effect at the ter of my present contract. September l. It is with much regret that I take this step. because of the fact that I have seen the work opened in the new building and watched it's development with the greatest of interest.
 I wish at this time to express my appreciation to the directors and members of the association of their loyal support and of the many kind nesses shown me during the past five years. and 1 would bespeak for him who follows me the same support, friendships and lkindnesses
 Respectfully submitted.
