DITCH CLAIMS
BABY VICTIM

Wandering away from her small
brothers and sisters with whom she had
been at play, Ora May Williams, the
year and eight months old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Williams was
drowned in lateral II at 10 o'clock yes
terday morning
The body was found by Everett Ellis,
three quarters of a mile from the Will
liams home on Seventh avenue, between
Glendale and Northern avenues.
The baby was toddling about with
her companions and her father was at
work on gasolise engine n short dis
lance from where the kiddies were
playing. A small irrigating ditch ran
in front of the place and once he
stopped work to snatch the little one
out of the ditch in which there was but
an inch of water. He went back to his
task and the child went along the path
in search of flowers. Her baby foot
steps could be traced to the lateral
some distance away to where she
slipped and fell and was carried down
stream.
Ellis passing on horseback was
stopped by two Indians who called to
ask if that were his baby as they
ried onward. Quickly jumping from his
horse, Ellis rescued the little one, from
whom all life had passed.
An inquest was held by Coroner De-
Souza last evening, the men and women
composing the jury returning verdict
of death by accidental drowning.

SCHOOL
At NIGHT IS
WELL ATTENDED

When the board of education of the
Phoenix Union High school establish
ed the first Free Night school last
year, it perhaps, little thought that
the initial class enrolment of 300 the
second year would be the double of
the highest mark of the first year.
Such however, was the case We'd
nesday night when the enrolment in
the several classes was totalled.
The students received their assign
ments in the several classes and Fri
day Will see quite an army of work
ers busy.
Professor Michaels took occasion
to explain the several courses at both.
the assemblies on Monday and We'd
nesday lie is the father of Free
Night schools in this community and
spoke of the growth Of the plan ard
| of the scope of work that will be
covered in the succeeding six months.
Credit is given by the Phoenix
| high school for work successfully pur
sued in the night school. the basis
/ for such credit being the same as the
day school hour for hour. Several
students are working for credits but
the major part Of the "nighters'' are
in the work for what they can get
out of it. This makes the work in
/
structors.
There is no age limit upward
said Mr.. Michaels, but youths must
have attained the age of Is years be-
fore enrolling"
The board has made the tuition abb
solutely free to all who attend reg
ularly, the small entrance fee being
refunded if the attendance has been
satisfactory. The faculty has been
| carefully selected and its personnel
cannot be surpassed anywhere.
Students may come as early as I
o'clock and study or operate the type
writing and the stereotype machines,
but the first of the three forty five
minute periods does not begin until
7:@0 o'clock. The best time to en-
roll is now, of course, while all are
starting Lack Of space and the
difficulty of securing instructors may
make the organization of more class
es in the subjects already offered i'm
possible so now is the opportune
time for the student to begin. En-
tire families have enrolled and many
suburoanites are attending. Some
who have been paying taxes for years
are attending and reaping benefit
from their contributions and this has
been advanced as one Of the many
reasons for the organization Of the
evening sessions.
The Psychology of Salesmanship
Advertising and Pedagogy is nov
offered for the first time. 1t is al
ready a large and enthusiastic class
and has for its instructor Principal
Cook who specialized in this line il
the University of Michigan and else
where. The work accomplished is
on a par with that done by the stu
dents in the regular dav school, this
being true throughout the course
The demand has necessitated the or

MTanksv Not New

An Iryingtoa professor saw nothing
new in some &c the machinery of the
world war now employed On the west
ern battle line.
Ancient Carthage" said the pro-
fessor, used tanks They differed
from the modern tanks in being all
alive. These were the elephants which
carried castles on their backs filled
with fighting men. Protected by armor,
these ancient tanks We're invulnerable,
Thrown against infantry in the open
field, no troops could stand against
them. When they attacked fortified
camps they broke down the palisades,
overturned everything and scattered
the enemy in a panic At the battle of
Zama, Scipio, to evade the elephant
tank danger, ordered that when the
monsters charged they should be ham
strung. No German commander has as
yet ordered the modern tanks to be
hamstrung." -Indianapolis News.
