seen so much hauling on so little snow
as in the past two weeks. More snow is
needed to make really good shedding,
nevertheless Ice, wood and other mer-

Fun and lots of it, enjoyed to the full in the magnanimous spirit of welle-earned victory mingled with rejoicing over the return of peace to the world and with all serious considerations eliminated, will be the rule of the day. at Bisbee's big Armistice Day celebration on No vember II, under the auspices of L. A. Engle post of the American Le- gion
 With this end in view, the returned service men in charge of the joyfest with which Bisbee will commomo- rate the first anniversary of the humbling of the huns naughty hosts, have decided that there shall be no speechmaking or other formal cere- monies. The entire day will be de- voted to making merry, and to this end the legion men are preparing a variety of features which will keep all Bisbeeans and the big crowd of outside visitors expected, interested. busy and happy from cary morning until the midnight hour.
 The days festivities will open with 2 big parade, starting about S:30 a. m., for which the men of Engle post are preparing some especially at tractive and novel features. Follow ing the parade, the Engle Post foot ball team will line up at 10:30 o'clock against the crack eleven of the 18th infantry, in Warren Park. The in- fantry team which is stationed at Douglas has been making cleanup record along the border and lost to the University of Arizona eleven by a close score after an exciting tussle. The infantrymen a few days ago rolled up 33 to 0 score on the mili- tary hospital gridiron aggregation at Douglas The local service men are expecting a hard-fought battle.
 Tn the afternoon there will be a boxing contest with good prelimin- aries, full program for which will be announced later In the evening there will be street dancing and a confetti battle. to last until midnight. No detail will be omitted to make this regular Mardi Gras feature.

 Scales will be put in every school building in the district Is or 16 sets in all. that every child may keep track of it's weight and en- deavor to maintain it as nearly nor nal as possible. Talks on hybiene, made as interesting as possible from the standpoint of the child, will be given from time to time in the class rooms.
 We are arranging a competition between different classes of each school, and between the various schools, as to which class and school makes the most progress in physical betterment To make this competi- ton fair, and particularly to stimuli ate efforts toward improvement, the proportion of increase in normal children over defective, rather than the total number of normal children, in each class and school, will be made the basis of competition. Some sort of award will be given as an inducement to physical betterment to classes and schools successful in the competition.

Of 763 white children so far given physical examinations in the Lowell and Central schools, 4s9, or more than 65 per cent, have been found defective.
 The percentage of defective American children in the schools is higher than the percentage of defective Mexican children.
 Of the hundreds of men turned down in this district during the army draft, e5 to 90 per cent were rejected because of physical defects which could easily have been corrected in childhood.
 This condition is not peculiar to the Warren District, but is wide spread throughout the schools of the country. The Warren Dis trict school authorities have pro gressively decided to set the ex- ample, and have launched wig orous campaign to make the dis trict lead in the standard of health among it's children.
 The school authorities of this district are taking the lead in making the health of the children a paramount and scientifically ad- ministered issue in the school cur ricuIm. They need the oo-opera- ton of every father or mother who has a child in school. All parents should read the accom- panying article carefully.

 The entertainment committee which has the program fn charge consists of Sidney Haas chairman Webb Hicks, William Critchley Steve Pecelich, Tony Corretto and Tom Egan.
 The complete program will be an .nounced in the Review early next week.

TOO MUCH GINGER
 SAY THEIR WIVES

GLOUCESTER, N. J., Nov. l. Police received complaints from sev- eral wives that their husbands drink Jamaica ginger at a grocery store and that it puts so much life into them that they come home and beat their mates.
Bisbee daily review., 1919-11-02

From these figures It VIII De seen that the condition discovered in the Central school is but little better in the Lowell school. An interesting comparison is that in the Central school, while 34 per. cent of the 402 American children examined were found to have defects of nutrition, only 2S per cent of the Mexican chil- dren in the school had defects of nutrition. In the Lowell school the percentage was 30 per cent for white children and only IS per cent for Mexican. This is attributed not to poorer feeding of American children than Mexican, but to the operation of the law of the survival of the fittest among the Mexicans, with whom those unfitted for existence have now mostly succumbed, while with the American the weak units have survived through better facili- ties for offsetting their handicaps.
 Next week the Warren school children will be examined, and the work will be continued until every school child in the district has been given a physical examination.
 Heretofore it has been the custom in the Warren District schools, as in most other schools in populous centers. to examine the children and make certain recommendations as to their general condition, but the local school authorities have decided that this is not enough.
 We are now going after the health betterment of the children on a wholesale scale" says Dr. Durfee, 'in an effort to stir up keen, working interest in the subject on
