 In addition. the federal reserve board has allowed the Federal Re serve bank of Boston to reduce its rediscount rate to 1-2 per cent rom per cent. This action presages similar action in other re- serve centers. including New York, which may cut it's rate further despite cut to 1-2 per cent from per cent a week ago.
 Another bright spot in the flnan cial situation is the gratifying earn ing statements and dividend actions of leading companies.

 The printed page had lost inter- est with the fading light and she did not bother to turn on the read ing lamp close at hand. She had reached Yew Lodge on Monday night and this was Saturday.
 The intervening five days had passed swiftly. She had insisted upon helping Julia put the Lodge iE order, and while doing so had irvcntOried each room.
 The latter occupation had proven most interesting, for Herbert Pres colt had brought to his mountain home collection of objects from every part of the globe.
 Able to gratify his Whims by a fortune he mad amassed while yet in middle life, he spent his later years in European travel. and his only brother, Colonel Prescott, had seen but little of him.

STOCK OBSERVERS
 DOUBT BEAR TREND
Favorable Developments Of Last
 Few Days Help

New York. Nov. q (UP)-A re- markablc change of sentiment has taken place in Wall street quarters over the past week and number of leading observers are beginning to wonder whether the recent dras- tic break in the stock market was only a technical reaction in ma jor bull market than the start of q bear market.
 One leading economist several weeks ago ventured the opinion that the country was in the throes of a bear market. However, subsequent developments do not bear out this opinion in the view Of several old timers.
 Conferences Assist
 This weeks series of conferences between President Hoover and vari- ous business leaders has gone a long way toward dispelling pes- simism and any many leading steel executives have revised their opin- ions during the past week. The Iron Age, steel authority, notes this week that a restoration of confidence has been effected in the industry as a result of the manner in which the country withstood the recent stock market panic.
 In most quarters it ia bolioyol that a broad building movement in various lines will be instiGatcd at the turn of the year. Railroads are planning to spend billions on new equipment and additions, while s. ". StrGus & Co. estimates that q building program approXimating S@,- GOO, 0,000.000 will be started Dcccm- Der 1 in the principal cities and towns Of the United States.

how HAWAII DOES 1T

For good many years citizens OF the Ontea States
have justified their countrys refusal to admit japanese
Immigrants by declaring that the Japanese being OF
different cannot be assmlaed in cvlllzatlon
For all we know this is perfectly true. Yet Will
liam Philip Simms, famous foreign correspondent,
sends in a story from Honolulu that puts aspect
the matter.
In Hawaii there many thousands of Japanese
Indeed they constitute the largest racial group in the
island. Some of them immigrants from Japan,
but many more were born in Hawaii and are, conse-
quently, American citizens.
Now Simms reports that almost without exception
these Hawaiian-born Japanese extremely proud OF
their American citizenship. They wear American
clothes, live in Amercan-style houses, eat American
foods and follow American customs They speak Eng
sh perfectly and usually it in preference to Jap
anese.
Amercan-born residents of Hawaii it develops,
look these japanese citizens OF the island territory
as valuable conscientious group of people There
is no racial feeling in Hawaii; children of all races
minge in the schools just adults of all minge
in the business world of Honolulu and differences in
creed and color go largely unnoticed.
"A this means that in time there will be distinct
type of American citizen out here in Hawaii known,
perhaps the midi Pacific, just know type
divisions in the continental United States southern
ers, middle westerners, New Englanders, and on.
News of this kind seems to shed light on the
question of Americas ability to 'assimate the Jap
anese. Possibly ii might not work the mainland;
but Hawaii seems to be doing it very we'll

A WISE GROUP OF STUDENTS

The II boys and girls who compose the high school
senior class at Goodwin Heights Mich, will shortly put
into realization scheme that other high school young
sters might well copy.
These II students, accompanied by two teachers
chaperones and general caretaers going to leave
on three weeks automobile camping tour of Yellow
stone National Park.
When they were freshmen they decided to map out
definite project for the close of their senior year
and work for it. Agreeing the Yellowstone Park
tour they put in their spare time for the rest of the
high school course in laying away money to make it
possible.
The class presented plays and movies to add to its
fund. 1t operated school book store conducted
magazine, candy and luch sales. Individual students
contributed what they could earn Some of them got
ceived to the class treasury Others took brief spring
and Christmas vacation jobs and contributed their
wages.
So it went-until, when graduation time finally
came they found they had plenty of money to provide
them with very nice trip So, in few days, they'll
start out for three weeks in the Yellowstone camping
out and cooking their meals for the extent of the
trip.
That trip will undoubtedly mean ever so much
to those IL young people than it would if their
parents had simply given them the money for it. 1t
is something they have worked for-something for
which they have sacrificed something they have put
over by their unaded efforts They are think to be
praised rather highly for their perseverance and good
sense.
A thing of that kind is a valuable experience as
well as an enjoyable vacation. What that project has
taught those students of the necessity for thrift hard
work and self-denia will be worth much all of them
in the years to
