NO DRY BATTERIES.
They All Contain Moisture or They
Would Be Useless.

SO called dry batteries are in common
use for small electric call bell systems
and private telephone lines and were
used extensively for ignition on earlier
makes of automobiles. Applying the
word 'dry" to the battery is mislead-
ing, for there is no such thing as a
"dry" battery. There never was. nor
will there ever be.
II it were dry no current would
generate, as it requires moisture to pro-
duce chemico-electric activity when
the circuit is completed from the plus
to the minus elements.
The SO called dry battery is really an
Enclosed wet battery" which retains
IT'D moisture to its limit Of life, wheth-
OF In service or not. The limit Of life
depends on the stored capacity. how
frequently the circuit is applied to it.
evaporation due to age and deteriora-
ton of the conducting elements.
The battery consists Of zinc cylin-
der case containing carbon in the
center, the intervening space filed In
with paste compound OF one part
zinc oxide, one part sal ammoniac,
three parts plaster of paris and two
parts water. The quantities are great
ee as the capacity Of the battery is in
creased.
As soon as circuit is completed a
chemical combination is started, and
the current flows from the internal
part Of the zinc to the carbon, then
out from the carbon to the appliance
and returns to the zinc. The external
terminals Of the battery are the re-
verse Of the internal.
When the battery is exhausted it can
be recharged by sending current into
1t from close circuit battery, such as
q nitric or sulphuric acid cell. Pour
ing water through small hole at the
top Of the battery is an aid to the re-
turn of its life, but neither this nor
the former will restore the battery to
its original efficiency. - New York

 ALVIN STAB[ER
Former Principal of Phoenix Union High School Passes Away at Prescott After Illness Covering Several Years

After an illness of several years, Pro- lessor Alvin K. Stahler, for seven years superintendent of the Phoenix High School, died yesterday at Pine Crest, Prescott, where he went some three weeks ago. The immediate cause of death was tubercular meningitis. That phase manifested itself only about three days ago.
 Professor Stabler was. forty-nine years of age and was a native of Ohio. He was educated at the Ohio Wesleyan university at Delaware and Miami university. After a few years spent in the Methodist Episcopal church and came to be recognized as one of the ablest men of the Southern Ohio con ference
 His health broke down under his arduous duties and in 1905 he came to Arizona. For a year he was principal of the Central school at Globe. He served the ensuing two years there as superintendent of the city schools. In 1908 he was elected superintendent of the Phoenix High School. He contin- ued at the head of the school until his health gave way in 1915. 1t was during his administration that the high school made it's marvellous advancement and it was largely through his efforts that the magnificent group of school build ings were erected. There are few men who have such monument.
 For some years MT. Stabler had been spending his summer vacation at Pine Crest and when he went there this year he was apparently in much better health than he had been year ago at the time of his departure from Phoenix and some hope was entertained by his friends of his complete recovery and i his restoration to a life of usefulness. Even in his illness he was not idle. 1 He devoted himself to literature and produced a series of verses all relating ] to Arizona, which were later compiled in volume called Arizona Sunshine" 2 There were with MT. Stabler at his death beside his wife, his brother, q scientist and educator. of California, 1 his brother in Jaw, l.. A. Bartlett, of | this city. His daughter, Mrs. Milton Munger, whose i'll health compelled her
 to return to Phoenix three days ago,
 Another daughter is Miss Ethel Stabler,
 a teacher in the city schools last year,
 and son, Harold Stabler.
 It had been planned to hold the fun
 eral services at the First Methodist
 church, but last night it was announced that friends of the family had been asked to have the services in the audi torium of the high school. The body will be brought here today and the
 funeral announcement is expected this
 morning.

PIKE SUES CITY FUR DAMAGE TO THE BEACH

Whether or not the city is respon- sible for damage done to The Beach by Salt River flood waters will be determined in the s10,0O0 damage suit which began in Judge Lyman's di vision of the superior court yester and he will endeavor to show why the city of Phoenix should be held accountable for the injury to his property on South Seventh avenue.
 Pike contends that the odor from the dumpage of refuse and garbage was bad enough but the city de- posted this dumpage in the river until it formed a dam and changed the natural channel This caused a flood he asserts. The water rushed upon his land cutting it into gullies, 1 trenches and holes and rendering the land permanently injured and dam aged He declares that the sand, rock and other building construction
 material on the place was made val ueless and that the sand, rock and | debris filled the swimming pool and ' the pleasure resort features of thl 1 place were destroyed.
 The city defendant will enter gen eral denial.
