ell, explained that heretofore, the

the quantity required He added that
after Friday morning the reservoir
will be supplied from the mesa wells,
which have a capacity OF more than
100000 gallons daily, much more
than Highland Park uses
However. he said, there will be
times for as long as 80 or 80 minutes
each day when many houses will be
unable TO get water, due 10 the TACT
that many houses have been attached
to small feed lines Houses located
at the end Of such lines may not be
able TO get water when all other
houses located above are using water

least ten years. Officials now are
working out the details Of the bond
issue to be submitted in an election

Latest Delivery Car
Generates Own Power

tn R. CHARLES p STEINMETz. ia
nous consulting engineer of the
General Electric Company, leads In
the list of devices intended to improve COM
mercial deliveries by announcing new type
of electric delivery car upon which he has
been working for the last fifteen years.
The Steinmetz car has a working radius of
fifty to sixty miles at a speed of sixteen
miles. The motor is given compound char
acteristics by the use of a storage battery
floating on the field circuit. On heavy up
grades and with heavy loads the speed is
well maintained. while on down grades the
maximum speed is limited. so that careless
driver cannot race the car. Also on the
down grade the motor becomes a generator,
acts as brake and feeds electric current
back into the storage battery. This regen-
erative system acts as a speed check on
grades.
A motorized travelling theatre ranks
among new appliances for concentrated
electricity. 1t is provided with a moving
picture camera and can make new pictures
as it rolls along, as well as give exhibits of
films in country districts where the open
air serves as a theatre or auditorium. This

The first anti-Japanese agitation was in
1905, and was caused by an unfortunate pub
lie school incident in San Francisco. At the
urgent request of the Federal Government
the state Legislature failed to pass some
very drastic anti-Japanese bills. The re-
suit Of this affair was the gentlemen's agree
ment suggested by japan as means of cur
failing Japanese immigration to this coun-
try.
