and Girls Clubs Guests of State
College Wednesday

Washington State College was the
Mecca for young farmers Wednes-
aav when $50 enthusiastic boys and
girls representing the Whitman
county boys and girls clubs spent
an interesting and instructive day
watching expert demonstrators cook
and can products of the farm and lis
tening to lecturers explain in prac-
teal terms how to look after pigs,
poultry, rabbits and garden patches.
Quite a number of the visitors
came in automobiles from nearby
towns. ColfaX, Rosalia and Palouse
had conspicuous delegations, and
from Albion and Elberton there were
several parties. Many of the boys
and girls were accompanied by their
parents, who were equally interested
in the program of the day. Promptly
at 1000 o'clock the eXcursionists
met in the old chapel, where they
we're welcomed by T. J. NeWbill,
state leader of boys and girls clubs.
who explained the functions of club
work. Dr. A Cleveland, principal
of the summer session, also spoke
on behalf of organized interests
among rural communities. Mrs.
Elizabeth Jones, assistant state lead
er, gave a practical demonstration
of cooking and canning, which was
followed with much interest. Mrs
Jones showed how efficiency and
economy could be obtained in the
preserving of fruits and vegetables.
The correct packing of the jar, the
proper proportion of fruit and Juice,
and the final sealing were points
that received emphasis.
Immediately after the meeting the
party adjourned to the lawn in front

The Lavas of Hawaii.

None of the island possessions of the United States exhibit more nota- ble points of interest for the observ- ant traveller or the naturalist than the Hawaiian Islands. The natives are typical of the race inhabiting many island groups of the south Pacific, the plant life has the attractive features of insular development in sernitropicsh latitudes, the marine life of the warm waters is wonderful, but perhaps the most fascinating, instructive, and aweinspiring of all the natural phen- omena of Hawaii are furnished by it's active volcanoes. The whole group of islands. extending in chain for many hundred miles, is of volcanic origin, though some of the istets and reefs are but the wave battered remnants of

volcanoes whose fires have long since died out sSs
 Approaching Honolulu by steamer from San Francisco, the tTavefer has the evidence of volcanic action plainly before him in the first land he sees, in the ash cone of Koho Head and the weH-preserved Craters of Diamond Head and the Punch Bowl, which are in the outskirts of the city. The high mountains of the island of Oahu are also made up of black lava-basalt- but they are largely covered with vegetation and one must go to the largest island of the group, Hawaii, for the wonderful demonstration of the process by which all these island mountains have been built up from great ocean depths. Kilauea, one of the most active. and Mauna Loa, one of the largest volcanoes in the world, are showing just. how lava builds up mountains. Beth of these volcanoes are included in the newly created Hawaii National Park.
 Since the time of Captain Cook the Hawaiian Islands have been visited
 by geologists and others interested in the problems of volcanoes, and much
 has been written concerning them
 Professional Paper S8, "Lavas of
 Hawaii and their Relations" ty Whit
 man Cross, of the United States Geo. logical Survey, Department of the In terior, presents a, summary of what Is now Known concerning the layas of all the islands. This paper is largely technical in it's character, for it is in tended primarily to serve as a basis for future study of the rocks. by geol- ogists.
 It appears that there are many other
 kinds of lavas in Hawaii besides basalt, and many facts of association of the different 1avas are of interest to students Of the inner history of ] volcanoes. While much is yet to be
 learned concerning the 1avas of these islands, Mir. Cross shows that present
 knowledge of the rocks is sufficient i to throw light on some of the most vexed questions pertaining to the origin and relations of the igneous
 rocks of the earth. The chemical re- lations are discussed with particular thoroughness. Petro1ogists will find valuable material in this report, bear ing on many problems

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A National Cause.

MT. Editor: There are very few in- stitutions in our great nation that are doing more good in upbuilding the colored race and making them self reliant, and self-respecting citizens than the Slater Industrial School for Colored People at Winston Salem, N. C., and perhaps it would not be over stating the case to say William A. and vice president of the Peoples Ma tional Bank of that town, is doing more to help the poor handicapped negroes of the south than any other white man. 1 s-,7a 2 The, school buildings, land and ap- plfances 'fa1e cost '$65,0O0 It is the third colored school in importance So great is it's influence that the state legislature has offered the trustees $12,000 if they can raise the same amount. It is totally impossible for them to meet this offer, as they have strained themselves to the extreme limit to bring it to its present worth. If each reader of this article will slip one dollar into an envelope and mail it to the treasurer. William A. Blair, be raised and the school buildings erected. This small amount will not hurt any one, and will very greatly aid a most worthy national cause.
 | It is a sad sight to see the number of co1ored children turned away from
  If our readers knew the facts in de- tail concerning this school, it would give them much pleasure to respond to this call, and send the s1 immedi- ately. thus helping the trustees raise $12,000 to meet the offer made by the state legislature. Any donation made now will multiply four times when it becomes brick and mortar, as the stu dents and friends of the school will do the construction work when the materials are furnished. Let it be re- membered that the co1ored citizens are loyal citizens. Not one of them has ever raised his hand against our flag, and many of them are now in our ar my, and brave soldiers. Should the president call for volunteers the col ored people would do their full share.
 If every reader who sees this item would send in $1 to Treasurer Blair the school equipment and efficiency could be increased to the extent of s4S,o0o.

BRAZIL WOULD FIGHT FOR
 RIGHTS

Among the neutral nations of the world at the present time, Brazil is manifesting its disapproval of the manner in which the rights of such nations have been and are being vio- lated in no uncertain terms. It is ap- parently regretting it's inability to do more fnSfesisting sE5hs dfsr4gard for the rights of -belligerent nations Dn the high seas.
 That it does not consider that the present war In Europe, with all its frishtful examples, will be the last to be engaged in is evidenced by the plan which it. puts forward for the protection of neutral rights in the case of future ones. This plan. which has been endorsed by the parliament of that country, has been submitted to other nations for approval It pro- vides for league of the non-com- blatant nations which becomes active the moment that any act of aggres- sion Is committed by belligerent upon a neutral It would be for that very purpose that the nations would be banded together This of course would mean the ending of friendly relations aas soon as any rights were in- .fringed upon and the opening of hos rA4sASS aSothSe llS OiLSAulu9 HallOn II 1t became necessary.
 This plan is similar to the one to enforce peace, except that it would be used for the preservation of neu- tral rights instead of peace. It is hardly probable that it will be put in- to operation during the progress of the present war but it should result in giving support to the much larger and more important proposition of preserving peace. The prevention of war would put an end to the possi- bility of neutral rights being violated.

 E s.Fhe Karste plateau has not always been a barren waste of grey rock to have been covered with magnificent forests but the Romans ruthlessly des- troyed these trees to secure timber fer their galleys. In recent years the Aus trian government has gone system atically about the task of making this district once more Q forest-land, and the travier frequently finds groves of young Iarch and pine which have been planted in pursuance of this plan.
 Among the most Gtriking features caves and grottoes, formed by subter- ranean rivers. Tbe most famous of these is the Grotto of Adelsberg, 50 miles by rail northeast of Trieste Be- fore the war it was much frequented by tourists. on whom the $500 inhabi- tants of Adelsberg thrived. The grot- to is lighted by electricity and there are safe paths through the Ball Room" the Ferdinand Grotto', the Brilliant, the 'BefveLere' and other compartments, some Of which are 15o feet in length and others as much as 165 feet high. Through the Cathedral a room 15e feet long and nearly 100 feet high, there flows the river Polk or Pivka, which becomes a subterran- can stream in the vicinity of the Grot- to.

 From far off Penang, next to Sing apore, the most important city in the Straits Settlements in the East Indies, comes another story Of the re- markable power and endurance of an American made car.
 In this instance the small but pow erful car negotiated the entire dis tance from the base to the top of Government Hill, a little more than 24O0 feet in height, over a road prac- tically unknown to vehicle traffic. Its steep grade can be better appreciated of ascending it is in chair carried by six coolies.
 The road up the side of Government Hill measures ,2.S5 miles from the bot tom to the top and it has an average gradient of 1 in 6.3. The ascent was made more difficult by bars of earth which run obliquely across the road, at intervals of 40 feet. in order to di- rect the rain water into the drain at the side. These bars are about five inches high with their sides sloping at an angle of 40 degrees.

 g. New inventions are constantly be- ing o-aced upon the market. New ap- pliances arc being made for ma chincry. New scientific apparatus is constantly being produced. All this denotes progress in many lines of en- deavor. That is being done during normal times but just at the present t,r1e when conditions are so abnormal an even greater opportunity, is fur niShed for the study of the existing prcblems and the advancement of ideas that they may be overcome.
 At meeting of boot and shoe men at Boston this week they were calmly told that a pair of all leather shoes would be commanding $30 within a few years because of the increasing scarcity of leather. It is we'll known to- what heights the price of gasoline has scared because of the situation as to demand and supply Almost every winter is accompanied bv a Jump III lne pTlce or IueI and there are many other things which are ad- vancing in price for different req sons.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

The Carso, CT Karst plateau as it is more familiarly known, the scene of the newly fnaugurated Italian offen- sive against the Austrians, Is the sub ject of the following war geography bulletin issued from the Washington headquarters of the National Geo. graphic Society:

 The Karst plateau rises some dis tance to the south of the city of Cor izia, on the Isonzo, one of the most important Austrian strongholds cap- tured by the Italians since they en- tered the war.

WHERE'S THE sALoNIKI ARMY7

Some anxiety is said to exist in London over the situation that exists in Rumania as the result of the of fensive which is being directed against that nation by the Austro- Germans under General von Falkenhayn. For the time being there appears to be a letup in the operations of General Mackensen. If reports are correct his forces are being driven back but at least his advance has been checked and the menace from the Dobrudja has for the time being been decreased.
 Not so however, with the army un- der Falkenhayn, for in spite of the rugged resistance which is being of fered by the Rumanians along the border and in the passes, and the drive which was attempted by the Russians from Bukowina, the Teutons continue to make progress on their way to Bucharest.
 Upon the blocking of this offensive rests the safety of Rumania, and Lon- don is apparently beginning to realize that the appeal of King Ferdinand that his country be not neglected by the allies was made with a full un- derstanding of the situation. Yet in spite of the fears and anxiety but very little use is being made by the allies of that large army which has been assembled at Saloniki. The Serbs with aid from the other allies are making good progress towards Monastir but apparently the main part of that army in Greece is not be- ing utilized, which if it was brought into play at this time would serve to give Rumania the aid which it needs. Delay now apparently only means that after the Austro- Germans have taken Rumania they will then be ready in increased numbers to offer greater. resistance to Russia and fur nish such resistance to the Saloniki army that it will be useless

GREATER PRODUCTION NEEDED.

President Wilson has recently ad- yised an increase in production for The purpose of meeting the high ycost Pf sltvfng.s We are. in the situation where the country's production along Pertain lines in the agricultural field Is greater than other nations but we have not as yet gotten to the point where our production per acre can touch some of the countries of Eu- rope which have been giving more thought to intensive farming.
 That there is failure to supply suffi cattle to meet the demands of the meat-eating people is plainly evident in the prices which are de- manded for such food supplies. There are large quantities of fresh and can- ned meats which are now sent abroad but even before this call from abroad took on dts present phase there was q failure on the part of the cattle waisers to keep the supply up to the demand While the country has been &rowing and the demand therefore in- creasing the number of cattle has been decreasing and instead of meet ing our normal requirements there has been a piling up of the shortage and prices are naturally affected. We can look to other countries for SUD- piles to meet the situation but that only emphasizes the failure of this country to solve It's own problems. We need an increased interest in the securing of more cattle, more sheep and therefore more wool. more hogs, and we need a better cultivation of the soil for the production of other necessities. When there is a proper realization of this and the right at- tention given to 1t the supply will ron1e nearer the demand, and when that takes place prices will be regu- lated accordingly during normal times.

CWritten Specially for The Rulietin.)
 During the Revolutionary War, Norwich was admirably situated to serve as a port of refuge toaSwhich vessels could retire and discharge their cargoes in safety.
 In July TITS, the brig Nancy, owned by John Winslow, a prominent Roy alist of Boston, having or board eighteen or nineteen thousand gallons of molasses, was forced by stress of weather into Stonington harbor. It was no sooner known in Norwich that she was anchored near the coast than her capture was decreed.
 Without waiting for the state authority, but with the sanction of, the Committee of r Inspec- ton, a spirited band of volunteers, in a large sloop commanded by Capt. Robert Niles, proceeded forthwith to Stonington, where they took posses sion of the vessel. They brought her, with her valuable cargo, round to Norwich. They then male report of the affair to the Governor and Council, who approved their proceedings and sequestered the prize for the use of the State.
