Water is one of the primary wants of
human life no less essential than air and food hence
the strong and religious interest that has been
attached to the means of its supply. In the earliest
records of civilization we read of the digging of
wells and building of water...

an appliance for vaporizing liquid hydrocarbons by atomizing
the liquid and mixing it with air.
This mixture of gasoline vapor and air is drawn into

The induction motor in its electromagnetic features
is essentially a transformer, while in its general behavior
it is analogous to the continuous-current shunt wound

This course of study has been planned for the
seventh and eighth grades in Oregon schools. One period
each week, or ninety minutes or more, is needed.
The study or cookery should be closely correlated with

The designing of electrical machinery is fully
as essential to the thorough understanding of power
equipment and apparatus, as is the taking of a laboratory
testing course. One learns the relationship
of the different parts, the methods of computing
their dimensions, and the predetermination of outputs,
efficiencies, etc. and thus...
The art of bread making has been handed down from one generation to another for

The marked movement of utilizing Oregon's water power
in the service of generating electric current, has been promoted
by the economics in transmission of electricity to distances

The women of the past ages have made little progress
