More than 80 members of the assO-
citation and their friends were present
at the lecture given last evening at
the Y. w. c. A. by Mrs. E. NJ. Nakui-
ma She talked On Pele and Hiiaka
and answered a number of questions
regarding mythical history of Hawaii.
Mrs. Nakuina told of visit to the
volcano in 1866. when she was a child.
and said that at that time there were
three lakes. 1t was on this occasion
that she became frightened and hur-
ried away from the edge of the pit.
Others followed her. and ten minutes
after the party had left the spot the
ledge fell into the pit
Mrs. NakUiHa told now Hiiaka loved
Pele mere than he did his own wife,
and gave much of the legends that
had been handed down regarding
these two mythical characters. Many
tourists were present and Mrs Nakui-
na was asked questions on every
phase OF legendary history.

In advocating before the House arri-
of a food control committee of farmers

Guiding perishables, H. H. Schenck of
Memphis. Mo-. representing the Ameri-
can Federation of Organized Producers
and Consumers. suggested $3.50 per
corn as equitable farmers prices for
this years crop if a minimum suaran-
tee price for commodities is to be fixed.
Mr.. Schenck's organization includes
farmers unions. He advocated govern
ment regulation of prices received by
the producer and paid by the consumer.
Clifford Pinchot. former chief forester
of the United States. advocated guar
antee of a proper price to the farmer
for his crop as of more vital Importance
than fixing the cost of food TO the con-
sumner.

Europe, he said, has found maximum
price fixing failure, but minimum

MAKING YOUNG CAPITALISTS

Those persons who have not felt
able to buy a $50 Liberty bond will
have an opportunity beginning this
week to do their bit" for Uncle
Sam, besides making an excellent in
vestment for themselves. "War saw
ings certificates" will be put on sale
at the price of $4.12, and will be
redeemable in five years for SIS,
which Is equivalent to A per cent
interest compounded quarterly. Per-
sons who find it inc%onvenient to pay
the $4.12 all at once can buy rs
cent stamps one at a time until the
amount required is accumulated. An
immediate effect of this plan ought
to be the emptying of coins of all
the children's tin savings banks in
the country, thus releasing barrels
of the small change which is so
sorely needed in trade just now.
Hoarded coins bring no interest and
a good many people are convinced
that the ownership of a toy bank
has an undesirable effect upon the
development of a child's character.
No such evil influence can come
from the ownership of a government
obligation. In fact, it's possession
can hardly fail to give our prospec-
tive citizens a keener sense Of pa
triotism. After this week, giving
money to children will be out of
date. Persons who delight in max
ing presents to little ones would do
we'll to lay in a supply of these thrift
stamps.

dull, If dull they are? I turned from
the lady to the young son Of Minister
Stovall and asked him the question.
IT don't admit that they are dull"
he said, as a diplomats son should.
"What they do is we'll done, because
their tasks are limited and definite
and they have only to understand to
be faithful"
Everything Well Ordered.
And then I could see for myself that
there was discipline. There are no
unruly children running about. From
my window, which also commands a
view of the Jungfrau and the Ober-
land, I can see three or four play
grounds on the banks Of the Aare. Al
ways in the afternoon these spaces are
alive with youngsters. Their play
is well ordered. They run, jump, throw
the discus, pole vault and swim and
dive into the river. 1t is real play,
but is orderly. All are in good earn
est about it. The play doesn't degen-
crate into horse play.
In our America 1t would be almost
impossible to maintain these play
grounds, except under the severest III
pervision. They would be picked to
pieces, strewn with litter and the
earnest work of athletics turned into
some sort Of buffoonery. Here the
play goes on apparently without SUI
perintendence right up to dark.
The arrangement of this little city,
the squares and public buildings, the
municipal housekeeping are a model Of
painstaking and good taste. The won
derful river combines utility and
beauty. 1t twists and turns In its
course through the town, making land
scape opportunities that have been
taken advantage Of. After it reaches
the outside Of the city 1t pSrsues its
swift purse a mile, then bends sharp
ly and comes back to within 300 yards.
The thrifty Bernese have made a tun-
mel from bend to bend with 40 feet of
fall, and here the city gets its supply
of electric power.

Fell Into the Bears Pit.
When l spoke of my visit to the bear
pit this afternoon a lady recited the
story that has become a tradition in
Berne, but that is historically accu-
rate. She told it well and it was
much more stirring than the story Of
the horrible butchery by which thou
sands had lost their lives in Flanders
only the day before. So cruelty does
usage blunt human feelings!
On a night many years ago one Of
the secretaries Of the British lega-
ton with a colleague from another le-
cation stopped at the bears den. It
was about midnight. They had been
out to dinner and were much under
the influence Of wine. The English
man In a sporty spirit vaulted over
the iron rail at the top and then back
several times. The last time he was
tripped by his cane, which he held in
his hand, and fell 20 feet to the bottom
of the pit. He was not hurt by the
fall. The pit was empty; the bears
had gone into their sleeping cellars.
Neither diplomat was much alarmed,
as it was found that the Englishman
wasn't injured by his fall. He was So
bered, and cautioned the other not to
make too much noise while he explored
the place to see If he could climb out.
Some time was spent in this hunt,
which was without result; but there
was still no sign from the sleeping
bears.
Devoured by the Animals.
The colleague then went off to find
a rope or ladder. AT the end Of an
hour he came back empty-handed, but
with three or four other men, and
ways and means were discussed with
out coming to any decision.
In spite of warnings from the Eng
