The Most Expensive Mile of the Subway Construction
A detailed account describes how the subway is built under New York streets with timber supports and trenching. Builders float wooden frames across openings, lower dirt via cable carts, and install steel and wood pillars while guarding surface streets. The section from Thirty-second to Forty-second streets includes costly curve repairs and property purchases to prevent damage, with accidents and litigation noted and an official photographer tasked with documenting progress.

Two Prominent Figures in Women's Biennial In LA
Two of the most conspicuous women at the biennial of Women's Clubs in Los Angeles are Mrs. A. Granger of Cartersville Georgia and Mrs. Rublee A. Cole of Milwaukee Wisconsin. Granger leads Georgia's federation opposing admittance of colored women to the General Federation. Cole argues the federal charter forbids excluding by race and that the General Federation cannot enforce such by laws. The debate centers on race and suffrage within club federation.
