There are 1500 enrolled in local clubs with local leaders the same as in the United States. Sup- ervi'ion is under the extension peo ple at the University of Hawaii. Projects carried on by the girls are foods, clothing, gardens and room improvement. The boys carry on projects in bees, coffee, frogs, for estry, gardens, poultry and swine. Club members in session present a mixture of several races. There are beside the native Hawaiian boys and girls, Japanese, Chinese, Fili pinos, Portuguese and Koreans. Their reactions to club work are extremely interesting. One boy said that after he listened to a lec ture of the value of foods he changed his ideas greatly. He'had always thought one. food was just as good as another for health and growth. . t Recreation is a feature of the chib programs, and club camps means ...

To me there is something not only picturesque but refreshing in this girl’s demonstration that the old pioneer spirit of America is not dead. I have never - met Elena Percy, but she has the spirit that overcomes obstacles, the determin ation to get an education at what ever cost in hardship and work. My guess is that Miss Percy will develop into a much more useful citizen than some of the young wo men I occasionally see riding horses in Central Park or following iho iox hounds at the fashionable country clubs. FRANCE . . . her diri farmers— The farmers of France have no such problems about the marketing of their wheat and other staple crops as confront the farmers of the United States. That is because they do not export anything m speak of, and the importation of staples which might bring the French farmers’ prices down is strictly regulated by law. Every year the authorities in ea£h department tell each French dug a well, perhaps, or built a tow er, but we were tied to the surface of the land and of the sea so far as our movements were concerned. Now the airplane and the dirig ible take us, at will, three or four miles or more abov? the surface, and the submarine 6oat will carry us two or three hundred feet oelow the surface of the sea. Professor Piccard went up ten miles into the stratosphere not long ago. A lit tle later William Beebe descended half a mile into the depths of the ocean, in his bathysphere.

There is no surplus production. Bakers are not- allowed to use more than 3 per cent of imported wheat in their bread. That is one reason why the wheat growers of France are getting $1.40 a bushel for their product this year as against the 50 cents or less which the American farmer gets. Unfortunately, under our Ameri can system we cannot exercise any such control over individual farm ers. Each farmer will grow what he pleases, regardless of ihe prob able market.
