TRAINED WOMEN
 WILL REPLACE,
 MEN IN PLANTS

That women are already being fit ted and trained to replace men in manufacturing plants of the east is the statement of R. T.. Helm of the Pratt-Gilbert company, who recently returned to Phoenix after an exten- siVe tour of the east and middle west In many instances, he stated, women can be seen operating machines that it was formerly thought only men could operate.
 "The east is awakened to full realization of it's duty in assisting the government to prosecute a vigorous warfare against Germany and her allies, said Mir. Helm. Evidences of the true spirit of the things are notice able on every hand and there is no question but that the east will devote 'all of it's natural, commercial and in- dustrial advantages to the government in bringing the war to a speedy and successful end.
 The United States is now entering upon the greatest era of prosperity that 1t has ever enjoyed But glance into the big factories of the east are necessary to establish the fact that never before in history has industrial pursuit been along such extensive lines.
 According to rumors generally pre- Valent throughout the east, the Allied governments have outlined the eX- penditure of $9,000, 009 900 in the United States during the present year This is in addition to the amounts to be expended by the United States gov ernment With this volume of busi- ness. industrial plants will be rushed as never before.
 The greatest problems in the east are evidently How are We going Go handle this unprecedented volume of business Within the next few months thousands of valued employees will be removed from factories as d result of the selectiVe draft and their places must of necessity be filled with trained workers. To this end. the government IS co-operating with individual pro duoers in training women for this work

ual participating in the purchase of the bonds In practically every pre- cinct of the county, where registra- ton booths are tQ be found, some person or persons will he on hand in the interest of the bond issue
 The Liberty Loan committee of the Chamber of Commerce has commun- icated with several chairmen of the recent farm survey meetings and asked that these men cooperate in every way possible to stimulate the sale of bonds in~their respective dis tricts. Considerable literature, ex- plaining fully the purpose of the bonds, on what terms they can be purchased, etc. was also sent throughout the county.
 Many Phoenix merchants are hand ling bonds for their employees. in this way making 1t possible for the bonds to get into the hands of @ large numoer of people. This is very necessary, according to ideas of gov ernment officials. It is not the de- sire to cripple the industry by taking in large amounts of capital needed in industrial enterprises and in this way put check on business The bonds are issued in small denomina- tions so that they are within the reach of everyone. No one can plead inability as the small bonds can be secured on the easy payment plan.
 The following merchants have al ready announced their willingness to assist their employees in purchasing the bonds: j. w. Doris, Dorris-Hey- man Furniture company, Constable Ice X Fuel company. Korricks. AriZo- ra Republican, Arizona Eastern, Crys- tai lee company Pacific Gas and Electric. City di Phoenix. Motor Sup ply company.

Great Decrease Due to Com pletion Year Ago of Big
 Factory Structures.

Building operations were nearly $4,- O0o, GOO less during the last fiscal year than they were the fiscal year previ- ously according to the returns on file In the building commissioners office.
 During the fiscal year from March s1, 1916, to April 1. 1917, there were granted ], s6S permits for buildings, the aggregaAe value of which was esti- mated at 6,076, ,0OS,
 During the fiscal years from March s1, 1915, to April 1, 1916, there were granted 1922 permits for buildings, the agxrgate value of which was $9, ,987 ,765.
 The great difference in the building values is said to be occasioned by the unprecedented increase in factory buildings during the fiscal year, 1915- 16. During the last fiscal year all records were broken for the erection of dwelling houses, in fact most of the permits granted were for dwell ings, small home properties and gar ages. svs There 5s wasasa slight in crease over normal in the number. of build ings for business purpose but the record does not compare with that of 1915-16.
