OUR SCHOOLS MUST HAVE MORE MONEY

A Globe woman writing of the de- plorable conditions of the school teachers of the land and the lack of interest in their wage concerns, ad- verts to the fact that throughout our country millions of dollars are being raised for all kinds of questionable purposes under the guise of charity. The school teacher needs no charity, but does need pay adequate to living conditions. Teachers in Arizona, we believe, are paid on a basis of nine months teaching. If she comes from an eastern state she will either have to pay her fare back there for her vacation or will have to remain here until school days roll around again under the same expense she would be to were she engaged in school work. If these charity workers would only take time to look into the condition of the schools of the country and make the same effort to extend education to those that are shut out from school work by the closing of 18,0O0 schools in the United States and the loss of 300,000 teachers, it would be we'll worth their while. Teachers worth while cannot live on the pitiful allow ance that make up their daily wage from the county and state, and if it is not soon remedied by concerted &C., tion we will have no schools to talk about. We may enthuse over better babies, but the enthusiasm oozes out when it comes to giving these better babes a better education.

OVER
 NEW MEXICO OIL

H. J. Dublin, who returned last week from a trip to northwestern Texas and Southwestern New Mexico is en- thusiastic over oil possibilities down there. He says oil interest is ex- tending over all the entire southern part of New Mexico. At Carlsbad to the east of the Wallapai holdings there is a we'll going down and one to the west at Lordsburg. To the south, within a mile of the Wallapai holdings, there have been 5 sections leased and 5 wells should be started within the next 60 days. One rig was on the ground when he left.
 At Sierra Blanca there is a we'll down 1900 feet and three miles from there is another we'll down about 900 feet.
 At Hueco there is a we'll down 1900 feet which was in oil shale.
 It is said that a Wallapai oil land proposition has been submitted to Do- heney. r1..... r.

BACK FROM WHITE MOUNTAINS

M. G. Wagner returned last Sunday evening from the White Mountains over in Apache Navajo counties. He reports that snow still lies on the mountains, but that in the valleys the grasses are almost knee deep. The roads he found to be in very good con- dition in Apache county, but Coconino county they were very poor. The fact that these counties are still us- ing teams and scrapers in the road work he believes to be one cause for road conditions. With improved ma- chinery the roads could be bettered with one-half the cost to the tax payers. ..

| When Charles Devine died some three years ago at Planet, there was no one who knew where his relatives lived, and so Coroner J. H. Smith took the only means of investigation in his effects, sharpshooting medal, to try to find some traces of the friends of the dead man in order to notify them.
 At last he has found the owner of the medal was young Buckley, son of Dr. Buckley, of Bakersfield. He is now writing to Dr. Buckley to find out whether Devine's identification can be cleared up. .f,

appearance Of what we see is proved In
another way. The image Of what we see is
thrown upside down upon the retina be-
cause Of the change Of direction Of the light
rays when they pass through the lens of
the eye to be focused on the retina. In
spite of this the sight centre in the brain
makes us see the image in its proper
position.
The image on the retina Is upside down
and It would seem that we should see
everything upside down." says an author
ity. This idea comes from the conception
that the brain is something which looks at
the image on the retina from behind,
whereas the light which falls upon the
rstina simply stimulates the optic nerve
and this stimulation when carried to the
brain produces changes OF an electric

nature which gives us the sensation OF
light"
Red light has the effect of increasing the
apparent size of an object. The sun and
moon both appear larger at the horizon
than at the zenith. Observations by sixty
observers indicate that the principal cause
OF the apparent magnifcation lies in the
red color assumed by the celestial orbs In
rising or setting. Not only the sun, moon
or stars, but all objects on the horizon
which fall within the zone OF the reddish
glow are subject to the magnl6cation, and
the increase in the clearness OF details Is
sometimes as great as would result from
the use OF a powerful telescope The illu.
sion is reduced or destroyed by observing
through redabsorbing glasses.

a war correspondent shows how camou-
fage deceived the eye on land:
Spotted camoufage is quite effective IN
breaking up the outlines OF any object.
For instance, In the case OF large guns
mounted on railroad carriages the usual
camoufage consists OF leopardlike coat
OF paint Varegated splotches OF paint
break up the stern lines OF the gun so that
at distance It mets into the surrounding
landscape, or at least appears as mysti-
flying, shapeless mass. The spotted form
OF camoufage is mostly employed where
other means are unavailable, and simple
as 1t may seem it Is quite effective, accord
ing 10 reports.
"If 1t were not for the aerial camera
camouiage would be a simple matter In
so far as the airman Is concerned. But by
degrees the airman has perfected his pho
tographic apparatus to a point where 1t
tells him many things which would escape
his notice II he depended solely on his
eyes"
At sea the idea OF making ship COM
pletely invisible TO q submarine commander
had TO be abandoned The method OF mis-.
leading and confusing the enemy by paint
ing the ship with certain lines was devised.
Here again mental Interpretation Of usual
images was made use OF.
The ship was painted SO that she ap-
peared to be going In a different course
from her real one, and this led submarine
commander to fire his torpedo at the wrong
spot. Queer, unusual lines painted errati-
cally on a ships side caught the enemys
eye so that he could not follow her true

outlines. A camounage officer In the late
war writes:
Our scheme Is to confuse the U-boat's
range-fnder by scrolls and curves In bright
colors. A range-fnder functions best when
trained on an object presenting a solo
mass, and the disconcerting effect Of q
nightmare of color and shapes can be I'M
agined by even the lay mind. Certain
color schemes tend,to give the ship short
ened appearance, while others cause
funnel to disappear 30 that the identity OF
the vessel is idben. In still other In
stances a vessel = painted so that de-
stroyer or U-boat appears to be alongside.
Then there Is the matter of determining
a vessel'sspeed. In order to aim torpedo
the U-boat commander must know the ap-
proximate speed OF his victim and It's d.
rection Of travel, so that he can aim his
torpedo some distance ahead and cause 1t
to arrive at predetermined point at the
same time as the target. Fake bow waves
give the slow-moving freighter the ear
marks Of an ocean greyhound"
One of the most successful examples OF
marine camounage was the painting OF
large ship to look like group Of little
ships going In different directions. This
raised such a complete confusion In the
eye OF submarine observer that he was
completely at loss how to act. The ship
was painted to look like three small YES
sells going In one direction, while In the
centre was painted the bow OF fourth
vessel looking as though 1t were going at
right angles to the others.

Experiments showed that In q group Of

A great deal has been learned about eye
sight through the successful efforts to
"camoufage" ships and military positions
during the late war. Low visibility ap-
pears to depend on brightness of back
ground. A certain amount OF glare" on
the background would make an object
practically invisible. An instrument was
made in accordance with this principle
which was used in elaborate experimental
tests made with model ships variously
camouhaged.
While army officers and artists were
studying war camou6age they learned that
