SECRETARY 0F PHOENIX CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
 WRITES ABOUT CAMP
Harry 'Welch Pays a Visit to the Camp n q Interviews the Officers and Men and States What tn C Condi- lions Are.

Secretary Harry Welch of the Phoe- nix Chamber of Commerce has writ ten the following account of his visit to Camp Funston, doing the writing at the request of The Republican:
 Wednesday. October 9. visited Camp Funston at the request of Prof. Lo- per. chairman of the PhOeniX Chap ter, American Red Cross. Was ir- structed to see Major Brown of the 164th depot brigade Was introduced to General Hunter and discussed with the general needs of the troops from Arizona. The general suggested that there was little that could be done. The army was taking care of the men pretty thoroughly and that ev- erything would be in perfect shape.
 General Wood had sent officers to Kansas City to purchase in the open market. large quantities of fittings for the heating apparatus which was being installed. General Wood had already bought up practically all of the overalls in Kansas City for the use of the soldiers immediately upon their arrival. The general promised 10 advise us if anything could be done by the local people to help make the boys comfortable.
 Next called on l.. A Townsend. in charge of No. 10 Y. M. c. A. at the camp. With Mir. Townsend made the rounds of a number of the canton ment buildings, locating three large buildings almost entirely occupied by Arizona troops. Tn each of these buildings the Arizona boys were round, ed up and my mission was explained asked if they had any requests to make of the people at home and what the people at home could do to make their stay in Camp Funston. or in any other camp. more comfortable and pleasant. In each case the replies were to the effect that the boys were "all right" feeling fine and were com fortable. It was a lite cold at night and early morning. but with the fit tings for the steam plant coming from Kansas City by express, it was hoped that the heating apparatus would soon be in operation.
 A great many of the boys were just

returning from a visit to the surgeon after vaccination, and in spite of this were very cheer.ul They asked that newspapers from all over the state be sent to them in order 10 keep in touch with things at home. They also asked that some books and other reading matter be sent. All Of these men wero in Companies 20 90, S1 and 32 Of the 164th depot brigade.
 A visit was then made 10 another part of the camp where a large num- Der of the Arizona men were in the artillery regiments. Here many more Arizona boys were met, and at this point was invited to taFe dinner with the officers or the company. The of- ficers dine in the same house as the men and have the same food. which was very good. The supper in the evening consisted of beans and chilli with plenty Of meat. Drowned pO.a- toes. stewei pruns. cake and coffee.
 The officers spoke in splendid terms of the men pointing ont their wonder full adaDtability. The men of the field artillery had moved only the day be- fore and the officers stated that al- ready they had laid sidewalks on each side of the long building, had fitted up a barber shop and were planning many other important details of camp life. These boys were completely equipped with khaki. but the first con tingent were drilling in the big blue bib Overalls.
 Adjoining this part of the camp an- other Y. NJ. C. A. building is being erected which will probably be num- bered twelve. and magazines. papers and other articles for these boys can be sent in care Of this particular branch. The Y. M c. A. is taking a great interest in the men and believe that the best method of handling any material for the boys would be in CO., operation with the Y NJ C. A. staff.

The position of draftsman. heretofore open to men only, has recently been thrown open to women. On account of the war, s.ate governments are also employing more people. Ten states have civil service commissions, and se- lect their employees in the same man. ner as does the federal government.
 Good Opportunity.
 By taking shorthand and typewrit- ing, women are not only eligible to civ il service positions. both national and state. but also to the vacancies arising in commercial, industrial and other lines on account of men leaving for the national army. These positions are likewise available to the men who are not drafted They, too. will be called upon to i'll vacancies created by the departure of men io fight in the field. Fine positions at good pay are opening on every hand for those who are pre- pared It has been suggested that now is the oppor.une time to make the necessary preparation.

Judging from the crowds which nightly pour into the Royal theater. Joe Norcross' policy has met with instantaneous public approval. Wheth- CT it is the mixed program. or the music or a combination of the two, isn't known; but the Royal is receiv- ing a great patronage. The theater is ideally situated. and Norcross has gone over boht interior and exterior carefully, finishing his house most at tractively. Norcross believes that the public is fast losing taste for feature films. and that tho day of the mixed program is returning.

OPPORTUNITY FOR BUSINESS WOMEN
 AT NIGHT SCHOOL
Government Making Appeals to Fill Civil Service Posi- tions Vacated By Men.

A patriotic appeal to women appears in the current issue of the Ladies Home Journal under the caption, ''Wo- men wanted at Good Pay" It is an ap- peal for women to learn stenOgraphy and typewritting, and enter the Civil Service. the sponsor of which is Dr. Anna Shaw, chairman of the Woman's committee of the National Council of Defense at Washington.
 There is a special reason why this appeal can be met with a hearty re- sponse by women in Bisbee. The night school at the high school is con ducting classes in stenography and typewriting, as well as in Spanish. me chanical and the allied commercial subjects. A large number are already availing themselves of the opportuni- ties offered there. In view of the above mentioned appeal, a special eff fort will be made to accommodate as many more as possible.
 Best Instruction.
 The instruction, so far as practic- able. embodies the methods now used at the Gregg school in Chicago. which is the national headquarters, not only of Gregg shorthand, but of Ra .ional or Touch typewriting. The latest edition of the Rational typewriting manual is the basis of instruction. This manual contains a section devoted to the civil service; and it can be definitely an- nounced that when that phase of the course is reached. the work outlined in the manual will be supplemented with the first hand experience of teachers who have successfully passed the civil service examination for the departmental service at Washington.
 Demand Exceeds Supply.
 The requirements of the civil ser vice far exceed the supply. By the end of the frs. year of the. war, there will be one hundred thousand addition al employees in the civil service. The filling of these positions by women will release more men for the field. Wo- men are now paid the same salaries as men in the civil service. The begin ming salary in most cases is S1 .000. Out of 366 women employed in the depart ment of commerce, only 54. and most of them scrub women, receive less than s900 a year each. The secretary of the navy has announced that women will be given preference in those posi- tions open to both men and women.

HAD YOU THIS SORT
 OF 4 CHANGE WHEN
 YOU WERE 4 KIDDIE?
Fifty Dollars Looked Mighty Big to the Youngsters of Yesterday; and Perhaps Today.

Seventeen youngsters in Bisbee and the Warren district are working like everything" for a prize which will keep any one of them in clothes and spending money throughout the win ter. They are the Review "newsies," and the reward they're striving for is a fifty-dollar check. The contest started October g, and 1t will end No vember IT. Of course, all of the boys cant win out; so. in order that there will be no disappointments, each of them will receive remuneration of some sort for his efforts In this way, perhaps, professional jealousies can be kept at minimum.
 The Plan
 The Review has made an offer to new subscribers-and new subscribers only-of a three months subscription for $2. The boy who gathers the greatest number of these new sub scriptions will receive $50. while the next boy in the list will receive S29. The third prize is s1o, while the fourth is for the same amount. The fifth and sixth prizes are for s750 each, and the boys rated seventh to seven teenth will draw down S5 apiece.
 So pick your man." mail your check to the Review and indicate the youth to whom you wish the credit be given .nrovidpd vou care tO mail a check and not deal directly with the boy and then sit back with the snug re- that you've possibly helped some young American on the highway to riches. success, a college education, or anything!

The &C., ton Of General Wood in buying in the open market in Kansas City the things which are necessary 10 insure comfort has been very favOrabiy com mentod upon by army officers, busi- ness men and others With whom l conferred in Kansas City and other points.
 By this time Camp Funston will contain approximately 10000 troops. It is natural that in big body there would be some who are a little dis satisfied, but speaking for the men whom I met. and the number was about 200. they are ali contented ani comfortable | would suggest that in addition to sending papers. magazines and books. an effoT. be made 70 send some smoking material. The boys
  sure would appreciate donation Of this kind. : would further recommend that business men from Arizona mske it Q point of stopping over in Kansas City for a day and running OUt tO Camp Funston. leaving Kansas City about 10 o'clock in the morning and arriving back at Kansas City about 10:30 in the evening. will give the vis- itors a little over three hours at the cimp. If the business men will do this we can keep in close touch with the wishes and the needs of the Arizona men at the front.
 IL is possible that arrangements could be made to have an Arizona rep resentative attached to one of the Y. NJ. C. A. branches and in this way still closer touch with the needs of the Arizona troops be secured.

THE LIBERTY LOAN
 GOES BIG IN RANKS
 OF 15STH REGIMENT
The Old First Arizona" Show That They Will Help Pay For War as Well as Help Fight It.

The 15Sth Infantry, United States army, more familiarly known as the Firs; Arizona regiment, has subscribed for over S4s,OOO worth of Liberty bonds. This subscription is among the enlisted men alone. H Company is leading the field with. subscription totalling s5,350, but the Headquarters company is so very close behind them that they stand virtually tied at the read of the list. However the hos pital company shames the entire or ganization. Composed of but twenty one men, they have taken bonds for S2,2O0.
 Dog Days"
 Two members of the 18th are talk ing little or no interest in the Loan, however. They aren't slackers, eith- CT, for no one expected them to do more than give the issue their moral support. These two members are "Petey Dink" and Rage" The for mer is a staff member. and although -ery high brow and snobbish, he comes of doubtful percentage. He is jest plain dawg." "Petey" has noth- ag 10 do with the enlisted men, hay ing entered the service as an officer 1irec., and his principal duty in life $ to roll over" and stand on his hind egs begging for meat after mess. 'Petey" likes his chow, and he will york for it. However, he doesn't work for anything else. He is 'r1e1.ber of the midnight crew." pre- e-.ng prowling about at night to sleep c@ peacefully. Whether he does sen incl duty or travels" is unknown.
 Of Different Sort.
 Rags" is of different type. Rags" is plain "dough-boy," and he puts on no airs. In the first place he isn't educated. so "Petey" has the great ad- vantage over him. Rags" originally came to the border on the staff of the Mexican General Zabarso, but he rap idly became dissatisfied with condi- tions in the Mexican army; so he crossed the line, took the oath of all legiance, and enlisted in the 15Sth. He had some difficulty passing the physi- cal examination, because he carries a bullet under his left fore leg and. in addition, he is cross-eyed. Rags" is probably the only cross-eyed dog being fed regularly by the United States army.
