JOHN MITCHELL DEAD
Was Former United Mine Workers
Head and Famous Labor Leader.

New York, Sept. 10.-John Mitchell,
former president of the United Mine
Workers of America, and one of the
most widely known labor leaders in
the United States, is dead here today.
Mr. Mitchell was only 40 years old.
Altho he underwent an operation ten
daysiago for the removal of gall stones,
his condition had been reported as en-
tirely satisfactory and his death was
wholly unexpected by his friends.
Since 1915, Mr. Mitchell had been
chairman of the New York state in
dustrial commission. He also served
as president of the state food commits
sion, chairman of the federal food
board, president of the New York
state council of farms and markets
and as a member of the federal milk
commission for the eastern states.
While his office was in New York, his
home was in Mount Vernon.

MAC LEAN BOYS THERE
Great Day for Industrial School
Youngsters at Fair.

Tuesday was a great day at the
Kansas Free Fair for all the young
sters who were fortunate enough to
get to the grounds. But 1t was a day
that will never be forgotten by the
boys from the Topeka Industrial
school.
Capt. W. P. MacLean took his boys
to the fair for a day of pleasure and
the fair officials saw that they missed
nothing. The concession men gave
them all the popcorn and peanuts they
could eat, the management of the
Workman shows made them guests at
attractions and in the evening the
youngsters sat on the race course and
watched the fireworks displays
Supt. ]. E. Wilson said that Tues
day was the greatest children's day
he has ever seen at the fair. The kid
dies were kept on the go all day long
and the wonders never ceased for
them until they were forced to go
home. Many were taken into the
grandstand by their parents for the
races in the afternoon and for the
fireworks at night.

 EXCEED QUOTA FUR DISTRICT
Committee Reports $1489 Has Been Subscribed, Ex- cluding Donations from Fra ternal Organizations Here

Practically over the top with two days of the campaign yet to run, the committee in charge of the drive for funds for the proposed Roosevelt Me morial, under the direction of Ira B.. Joralemon, reported last night sub scriptions totalling $1,4SO, or within SEQ of the quota set for the Warren district. This is exclusive of the con- tributions of any of the local fraternal organizations or of the Copper Queen mines.
 A feature of the campaign, accord ing to Joralemon, has been the sub- scriptions in the schools, the quota of which was set at $15O, but which have donated more than $20O. With the contributions of the lodges and those mines which have not yet sub scribed, it is believed that the War. Ten districts offering for the memor- lal will approximate $2,OOO.
 Monday, Roosevelt's birthday, desig- mated throughout the United States as Roosevelt day, will mark the close of the Roosevelt Memorial campaign, but in counties and precincts where the work has been delayed, the work may be continued until the quotas are filled, it was announced at state headquarters today. Should any To- cality be unable to complete the work by Monday night, however, it is de- sired that such be done by the earli- est date thereafter
 Col. James H. McClintock, state di- rector, in a letter to the county chair man, states: "Inasmuch as latitude has been allowed in the time of col lection of pledge cards, I see no req son why the membership campaign should be stopped on Monday in any locality that, for any reason, has fail. ed reach its quota. In several of the counties the work was started late.
 "The largest degree fenergy should be thrown into the work Mon- day. It is Roosevelt's birthday, an anniversary that will have no better celebration than in assuring the great American a fitting memorial.
 Get together Monday night, if pos sible, in every Arizona town, and hold q meeting. If a mass meeting is not possible. at least get together a group of those who revere the coloners memory"

G8 PER CENT IF SCHOOL FOUND.
 DEFECTIVE BY DR. DURFEE

can and should be corrected. Un doubtedly many more defects could be found by more thorough exam. ination than would be warranted in the school at this time No child is included in the above list who has defect that cannot be corrected under ordinary conditions. For ex. ample, where a child is totally blind in one eye, or has lost an arm or a leg, he is classified as normal.
 "The percentage of normal white children in a school is the standard for that school For example, Gen. tral school has a percentage of 31 normal white children, which is the standard for Central Other schools in the district will be given their standard as soon as they can be ex- amined. It is the endeavor of the school health department to raise the standard in each school to as near 100 per cent as possible, but to do this it is absolutely necessary to have the hearty cooperation of each and every parent in the district.
 Monday there will be sent to every parent of a child attending Central school, who has one or more defects, a notice of such defect, and advising it's immediate correction. When such correction has been made, the child's name will be added to the normal list and the standard of the school thus raised"
Bisbee daily review., 1919-10-26

The following report of the results of a physical examination of the children at the Central school has been compiled by Dr. Durfee:
 "A physical examination of the white children attending Central school gives the following results: Number of children examined, 402; number of children found defec- tive, 275, or 6S per cent; number of children found normal, 127, or 31 per cent.
 The defects found may be classi- fled as: Defects of nutrition, 13S, oI S4 per cent; defects of teeth, 167, or Al per cent; defects of eyes, 50, or 12 per cent; defects of throat, q, or 5 per cent; defect of breathing, 31, or 2 per cent; defect of ears, g, or Z per cent; defect of skin, g, or z per cent
 t'It will be noticed that the num- Der of defects found is greater than the number of defective children. This Is for the reason that many children have more than one derect. Particularly noticeable is the close relation between bad teeth and un- der nourishment; also between. de- fective breathing and bad threats. Defects of nutrition mean that a child is at least 10 per cent under weight for his height. Defecgs Of teeth mean one or more defective teeth in child. All of these defects
