ADMISSION DAY
 T0 BE OBSERVED
 WITH ROAD WORK
Governor Hunt Suggests That Loyal Citizens Cele- bratc States Birthday by Working On the Public Highways Near City

Apropros of the goods road move ment which is at the present time attracting so much attention from the residents of the valley, Cover nor Hunt yesterday issued a procla- nation designating Monday, February
 IA. as a day to be observed in eel ebrating Admission Day and also in doing some practical work in road building
 On Monday, the state will have
 rounded out the fourth year of it's
 existence as state, and Governor
 Hunt believes that the day can be
 most appropriately celebrated by aid
 ing in fixing up some of the roads
 in this section.
 Following is a complete copy of the proclamation:
 Commemorative of the admission of
 Arizona into the Union of States. in observance of the successful comple- tion of four years of Statehood, and in harmony With Paragraph 32S3. Title XIX. Civil Code, Revised Stat utes of Arizona 1913. l, Geo. w. r. Hunt Governor of Arizona. by virtue of the authority in me vested by law, do hereby proclaim Monday February 14th, 1916. as legal hol- iday, and do earnestly recommend that, on the day thus set apart, all loyal citizens shall unite in appro- priate ceremonies and exercises cele- brating the growth, power and civic ideals of the State as an integral part of the union.
 In view. moreover, of the note worthy relationship existing between
 the good roads movement and the fu- ture of Arizona, industrially, socially and civically, it is strongly urged that Admission Day, as designated hereinbefore, be made the occasion. as advocated by the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, for individual. but con certed improvement of highways in Maricopa County. In accordance with this plan of securing the observance
 of Admission Day in Maricopa Coun- ty as a day of road building, every citizen who can absent himself from his regular occupation is earnestly requested to personally participate in actual highway improvement con- formable to such schedules of coop erative work as may be prepared by the several committees chosen to ar range for this patriotic service where by all who use the public thorough flares should be directly benefited In Witness Whereof, have here unto set my hand and caused the

JUICE CUT OFF CARS;
 STRANDED TWO HOURS

There was more than one pair of blistered feet in Phoenix last night. The company which supplies the Phoe- nix Street Railway company with juice is directly responsible, too. It hap pened this way.
 Something went wrong with the mo- tors at the power plant and the juice was cut off. Cars were stranded all over the city. At first it was thought that the power would stay off for just a short time and passengers laugh ingly settled back for a few minutes wait.
 They waited. Then they waited some more, and, what is worse, they kept on waiting. The cars refused to move without power and they stayed abso- lutely still for over two hours
 It was certainly heart breaking for some people. Home two or three miles away and no way to get there but to walk. Lots of them did, too.
 On West Washington street condi- tions were somewhat better. Jitney drivers were quick to see their chance and during the interim of cessation of street car traffic they reaped q veri- table harvest The big Riverside busses were pressed into service and they, too, ca.r.ed their quota
 But on the other lines, Oh. dear loW they hated it. it was walk or steal a ride, and it is rumored that sev- eral respectable citizens were seen hopping on the back of farm wagons headed in the general direction of their homes
 In the meantime the crews on the cars were having the time of their exciting lives. It was bad enough to sit out in the middle of a sun -Scorched street. the object of all sorts of gibes from passersby. But what was worse happened to be the oss-fire of ques- ions directed at them. And questions were not all that came along In many ,ases some of the women passengers. becoming eXaSperated, unloaded a fair sized quantity of sarcasm on the heads )f the unlucky men. It was generally | aiken for granted among the fair sex hat the men in charge of the cars were to blame for the stOppagc of traf 1 ic.

CONTRIBUTORS
 TO ART SROW
Miss Edith Coc of Chicago Art Institute Has EXhi- bit at Sketch Club. Ro- maine Ficlding's Gift to Collection

The Municipal Art Collection has 1 been presented with it's second picture, and this time it was a gift outright. | Romaine Fielding, through the WOm- ans club, has given uo the city's col 1 lection an Indian head by Charles | Craig. the noted Colorado artist. Tie initial picture was purchased from a l fund raised at the art exhibition held l during the state fair.
 l Mr Fielding gave the Woman's club it's choice between two pictures by Craig. both of which were excellent Indian studies. He has placed his own splendid collection at their disposal and it is understood the club will take advantage of his offer of private view later in the season.
 The Sketch club held it's first annual exhibit yesterday to club members and
 it's guests, including the students of
 the public schools. The work of pro
 fesSionals was extremely clever and the
 development of the members of the
 Sketch club under Miss May Noble,
 the curator, was apparent in the sur
 prisingly splendid showing made by
 the local woman.
 The pictures of especial interest were
 by Ethel Coe, a member of the faculty
 of the Art Institute of Chicago of the
 Chicago Society of Artists, the Gordon
 club, Arts club, winner of the Young
 Fortnightly prize, and an exhibitor in the Society of American Artists. The little sketches shown here were made in an afternoon or morning many of them are the same places only in a different time of day or weather The tiny figures are memory sketches made from people passing. Miss Coe has nice feeling, good drawing, composition and color. She also has that which is most difficult to achieve in this cOun- | try and Spain, the brilliancy of light
 There were etchings and monotypes by Jessie Benton Evans that had never l been shown here before. Local artists l who are familiar with her work noted ] how varied was her handling of her | subjects.
 Marjorie Thomas of Scottsdale ex- hibited some charming little sketches of animals, her work showing sympa- | thy and understanding. Her versatil- ity is displayed, as she also included land and desert scenes in her collection
 Miss Nobles collection included ] sketches made in Estes Park, Colorado, many cloud studies and bits of the old New Mexican town of Taos, and sketches made around Phoenix with the Sketch club. Her sketches that feature the old adobe home have par ticular charm. Her color and compo- sition are excellent She has a wide variety of subjects which she has treated with d fine understanding.

the horizontal rudder counteracts this
tendency and keeps them on an even
keel, just as an ordinary rudder can
counterfeit the effect Of q cross cur
rent. or of irregular rowing, on the
direction of a boat
Another system of rudders keeps the
torpedo on a straight course toward
its object But il is possible by means
of automatic steering devices, TO cause
a torpedo TO turn at any angle, right
or left, after starting, and then re-
sumo a straight course.
Some Of the devices used for steer
ing torpedoes, and for keeping them a
a fixed depth below the surface. are
still government secrets. but the secret
in no case includes any unknown prin-
ciple; it depends simply upon some in
geniOus application of mechanism
The principle of the gyrOscope has
sometimes been employed The in
genuity and delicacy Of some of these
automatic devices are astonishing
They seem almost to be endowed with
human consciousness and will power.
Especially remarkable is the mech
anism by which the depth of INNER
sion of the running torpedo is con-
troled by the pressure of the water at
that particular depth. The operation
of this mechanism depends upon a
hydrostatic piston and a pendulum.
which constitute the essential parts OF
=, steering engine, whose valve is con-
nected by a rod with the horizontal
rudder of the torpedo.
The water presses upon the piston.
and the pressure is resisted by a spring
