By JULIA CHANDLER MANz.

Ground was broken this week at Win
field Station, Long Island. for a new
school for women who are ambitious to
learn the building trades and who, here
tofore, have had no way to ut them
selves TO be plumbers, carpenters, brick
layers, and contractors.
This school of trades, which will open
its doors the 18th Of October, grew out
Of the many inquiries received from
women during the year 1911 by the Mas
ter Builders Association, an organiza-
tion OF eighty contractors of Greater
New York. Upon investigation 1t was
ascertained that the nearest trades
school for women is in Berlin, which led
TO the enterprise now on foot for ef-
fective equipment in vocations hitherto
considered purely masculine.
Money needed for the enterprise was
raised by private subscriptions, and al
ready the $4,000 required for the build
ing has been promised.
Already thirty-six women have ap-
piled for admission to the two years
course which will be furnished. There
viii be room for $50 pupils, and the
school will open with six competent
teachers.
Foreign Women Erecting Buildings
Thomas J. Buckley, president Of the
Master Builders Association of Greater
New York, in talking OF the plans for
the new enterprise. told of the trades
school in Berlin, which he visited last
February while abroad. This school has
an enrolment Of over 800 pupils, and Mr.
Buckley was amazed to learn that there
were fOrty-siX women in Berlin engaged
IN erecting buildings. He returned to
his association with a report Of the for
eign woman's success in trade lines,
which led to the present enterprise for
an American trades school
The course of study, which will cost
a pupil $500 will cover two years, and
include steel construction. bricklaying,
plastering, and steamfitting. Pupils will
also be taught how to estimate the value
OF work
While the actual work Of a builder will
be taught in all its details, the aim OF
the school, according TO Mr.. Buckley,
viii be not so much to ft women for
the manual part OF the trades as to
equip them to inteIligently employ and
oversee others.
That the American woman is capable
Of success as a building contractor has
been amply demonstrated by Miss Dur
kin, Of New York, who has made a
splendid success in this field. and who
recently obtained the contract for the
new school building in Longfellow Ave
nue., the Bronx There are in New York
three successful women architects and
six women who have done well as civil
engineers.
World Grows Broader.
With each year the world grows more
inclined to leave the sex question out Of
reckoning where business success is con-
cerned and to open to woman all the
avenues Of work that are open to man.
This does not mean-as the man or
woman who refuses to progress with the
world would have US believe-that women
are deserving their homes. their children.
and the love life, but it does mean that
she is growing out Of the one-time idea
that woman is fitted only to wash pots
and pans and is proving her brain
capable Of accomplishments equal TO
those Of her father, brothers, or hus-
band.
There was a time, not far in the past,

 Tight Skirts; Brings Boys
Bird Also Makes More Visits During July than Raven; AntTyphoid Campaign Fruitful; but Three Mild
 Cases Reported for Year g :.

In the marathon race that is ever continuous between the stork and the raven. in Warren district, as the world over, the larger bird secured
 a long lead in Bisbee during the month Of July as is shown by the yi- tai statistics reported by City Physi- clan Hunt at the Council meeting Tuesday night. The stork left twenty seven mites Of humanity with as
 many happy pairs Of parents during the monGh while the sombre bird daTkened fifteen homes making the normal population increase of the city for the month, leaving out i'm, migration statistics as an even dozen.
 Further segregation of these sta. tistics shows a prepOnderance of boy babies among the new arrivals for there were sixteen of the masculine persuasion and but eleven of the feminine. This preponderance of males is however capitalized by the death rate there jbeing live more males than females recorded in the loss of population to the reaper dur

 FOR ELECT0R
Douglas Man Promptly De clares is not in Race, but
 Was Always for Ed , TOvrea, of Bisbee

Last Saturday Cochise county had tHo candidates for elector on the dem ocratic ticket. now 1t Is a question whether there is one though it is probable K. A. Tovrea may finally be induced by his friends to make the race It appears to be either feast or famine and'now the happy medium win be sought.
 J. s. Douglas was in Bisbee yester- day morning and was asked by a representative of the Review relative 10 his candidacy for elector. He promptly announced that there was no such candidacy, that he was not in the race. He stated that he left the field clear to E. A. Tovrea and that he hoped he would stick, that if such proved 10 be the case he could assure the man who but short time was termed an opponent thai his earnest and hearty support was ex- tended. Mir. Douglas had put the honor aside.
 Monday J. s. Douglas and E. A. Tovrea met in Douglas and at that time each sought. to withdraw in fay- or of the other Each was firm and polite in his withdrawal but both were insistent that the honor must go 10 the other. MT. Douglas, however, states that he is permanently out of the field and would never have en- tered it against MT. Tovrea. Under these circumstances there should be nothing to prevent the Bisbee candi- date remaining in the field. He can now have the united support of the Warren district and Douglas

 Mir. Scott states that it was found necessary to stop oiling for a time until the grading work should have again pushed on ahead Of tbe oiling as the latter had caught up with the former. A few days wait. however and the work in all branches can be pushed on rapidly.
 At the city council meeting on Tues day evening 1t was reported that the Tombstone canyon work vas now completed. At that time the matter Of installing more lights was acted upon fayorably.

PLAN ID WORK
 PLACER FIELD
 NEAR BISBEE
l50 Assays Prove Value of Dirt; Runs 40 Gents to Yard: Owners Offered
 $35,000

Within a month work is expected
 to begin on the placer field. about four
 miles below the Warren District
 Country club. It is stated that washing machine of the latest and most improved make is to be used and is now or soon will be on the way
 here where 1t will be installed and
 placed in operation.
 While there are some who are
 aware that there is a large placer field close to the mines of Bisbee that fact is not generally known to the public. Such a field exists however and some work upon 1t has been done and numerous assays have been made that 20 to fix the value of the dirt. In this field there are interested some eight or more Bisbeeites who have ! filed on the claims and il is this com 'bination of local interests that IS about to determine whether the field can be profitably worked at this time. Dirt running 40 cents to the yard, l in gold. composes the placer field that i is located below Warren. This value 1 has been established by more than l i50 assays that have been taken out ! generally. catch samples and not l picked assays. That others have been | impressed by the possibility of a pro | fitable working of this dirt is shown | by the fact that the local parties were offered $35,0O0 for their claims and | this offer was refused.
 1 Owners of the claim are convinced
 of the values being there and state | that all that is necessary is an econ
 omical method of working it. Their present plans are an effort in this direction and they further state that in the end methods of dry washings and handling are certain to be SC much reduced that ultimately the field
 Is certain to prove a good investment I to them.

Crawford. -Mushidi journeyed into the interior with his wife, Kapapa, and two slaves, grand total four, and this ter rible quartet smashed up all the tribes of Central Africa. Mushidi was veritable black Napoleon of Cen tral Africa. His brain worked with the precision of a machine.

DICTIONARY MAKERS AT FAULT
Phantine Efforts at Wit, Have Been Put on Record.

Dr. Johnson perpetrated many Jokes in his dictionary, but among his most famous blunders was his definition of 'pastern" as "the knee of a horse"
 The dictionary makers often took occasion to make their definitions hit their enemies. Wesley defined Meth. 0dist" as ''cne that liveth according to the method laid down in the Bible" Dr. Johnson defined oats as "a grain which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people" He defined "pensioner" as "a slave of state, hired Oy a sti- pend to obey his master" which deh milton was made much of by the dec tors enemies when he himself was swsrded a pension.
 Bailey's dictionary defined the Lo- riot or Golden oriole as "a bird that, being looked upon by one who has the yellow iaundiee, cures the person and dies himself Fenning. who was the next dictionary maker, was afraid of this. and merely said "Loriot, a kind of birG." But one of the best bits of misinfornation was given in the die tionsry of Edward Philips. who in one place declared that "a gallon is a measure containing two quarts" and in another place declared "a quaver is measure Of time in music. being the half of crochet, as a crochet is tne half of a quaver." which leaves the subject as clear as mud.

All about the district, and especially in Bisbee. can be heard the cheerful sound of the swatstick. and batting averages are mounting skyward in a way to make Ty Cobh and Hans Wagner look like the verlest bushers. But the swatting sounds that ere heard in Bisbee are not occasioned by a baseball bat against a horsehlde covered sphere, though it is true that flies are being batted.

Merry Swish Of Swatter
 Heard in the District
War of Determination on esky Fly Goes Geefuly On; Six Contestants Enter K esuts of Swatfest for Com mercial Club Prize

This will be determined when the to- tals are announced tomorrow mOrn- ing.
 Others who have left parcels at Ball and Bledsoe's, and whose names will appear in the list of result get. ters, are w. c. Stack, George Richard, Arthur Ojada and Freddie Stone.
 It may take time before the results of the young crusaders are manifest ed in diminution of the number of flies that are daily iH evidence about the streets and m the homes. but such results will be manifested in the end. When one considers the rapidity with which flies breed and multiply, it will be seen that the thousands of flies that were turned in yesterday morning will mean that there will be hundreds of thousands less in a few weeks than if this crusade had not been begun.
 In those homes that are screened. it will mean a quick extermination of all the pests in them, and outside the benefits will be felt.
 Yesterday, boys with fly swatters could be seen all about town. On Brewery gUlch there were several groups noticeable. Each boy had his wire screen swatter, and was strik. ing away merrily. Two youngsters were especially in evidence, working together and rapidly filling up a ci- gar box.
 Up Main street there were other boys each with his swatsticll and his box, and all crusading actively. Swat that hy' iS no longer a joking phrase. it really means something to at least the young folk Of the dis. trict, and once the little folk are aroused, the grown folk will be awak-

 mittee is well satisfied with the start and hopes and believes that those results will not only continue but still
 further increase.

were children.
 That the anti-typhoid campaign has thus far borne good fruit is further shown by the health officers report. There have been but three mild cases of typhoid this year. There was a time when typhoid epidemics were of yearly occurrence in Bisbee and lt that time the cases were generally mild and the death rate competitive ly low.
 For the past few years the number of cases each year has been material ly decreased but the severity of the individual cases showed 4n alarming increase with a result that the pro portion of deaths to cases grew ex- cessiye.
 This year, thus far, however the cases have been mild and at the same time fewer than the normal for this season of the year and there is req. son to believe that after a few sucn campaigns as are now being conduct | ed, typhoid will be a rarity here abouts and such cases as do occur by no means dangerous.
