There are fire such clubs in Boone County. The oldest is the Willing Work ers' Club of Centralia which was start ed in 1915 and of which Mrs. C L. Kir try is president. The other four clubs of the county were founded in the same j car. Three of these also hate theh headquarters in Centralia and are known as the Tulip Homemakers Club, of which Mrs. C. P. Sutton is president, the Dun bar Homemakers Club, of which Miss Grace Smith is president; and the So cial Workers' Improvement Club, of which Mrs. Roswell Norris is president. .The fifth club in the county is the Neigh borhood Progressiie Club of Thompson of which Mrs. Cram Eckley is president. Where there is a Farm IJureau Asso ciation in the county, these clubs are rloely affiliated with it, but Boone County has no association. The agricul lural extension service of the University supplies the clubs with by-laws and pro grams for their work. These they are at liberty to follow in full or only in part. On the wliole they concern themselves with questions of clothing, food, health and home management, but any subject of interest to a particular community may be ttudied by the dub. In this way they differ widely, one club dealing largely with local civic improvement, while another may be interested in a more per sonal problem. Usually some particular project is studied and carried out each year and sometimes more than one, de pending on the number of times the club meets and the thoroughness with which it is taken up. Thus different clubs will be working at different projects at differ ent times. One noticeable work of these clubs has been their interest in making possible hot lunclies for the school children of tbe ru ral communities. Some of the clubs have been actively engaged in beautifying their school grounds and still others in in creasing the school libraries. The clubs, secure the money for carry ing on their work by various means. Some of them give box suppers, others give entertainments of various kinds. Some piece quilts and do other sewing, selling the articles when completed and turning tne money over to the treasury. for high schools and colleges, but so few in my work. "What I try to emphasize is that the children need more freedom and great er activity in the first four grades and less of tbe rit-up-with-the-hands-folded teaching." Miss Dobbs has traveled extensively in the lart year, talking to teachers. Mt carries a small grip with her in which she keeps toys which she shows with her talks. The toys are fascinating and yet can be made by any child as they are so simple. "My most enthusiastic audience ss one composed of fifteen hundred school she said, The National Council of Primary Ed ucation is Miss Dobbs pet bobby. The council was started seven years ago in Chicago with thirty members; Mi-s Dobbs was the first chairman. She is stiH 'chairman a'nd there-are now -nearly three thousand members- who represent every state in the union. "Will I ever give up my vocation? never," said Miss Dobbs. "If I am useful as a speaker it is be cause of my class work and then, too. I love to teach better than any thing inl the world. Among the places where Miss Dobbs lectured this )ear outside of Missouri are: Duluth and Winona, Minn, Super ior, Wis, Lincoln and Kearney, Neb, Des Moines and Waterloo, la- Chicago, III, Hammond and South Bend, Ind, At' lantfc City and in Conneticut. An author s laurels also belong to Miss Dobbs. She is the author of "Illustra tive Handwork" and "Primary Hand work.' Tbe last book she dedicated to "little children of America that all their school days may be happy days." j TROPICS ARK MADE ,. SAFER American Scientists Find Remedies For Dysentery aad Leprosy. Mamla, (By Mail) to United Press. Dr. Lim Boon Keng, president of ihe new university at Amoy, told the American chamber of commerce here today that the work of the American scientists at the bureau of science in Manila has opened the tropics to the white man. These men evolved treatment! for amoe bic and bacillary dysentery which have removed the dread "of those diseases in the tropics. He said this work, alone justified all the expense on account of the bureau of science, but many other notable things Iiave been achieved by it, for example, spread of general cien tific knowledge of the efficacy of Choul- moogra oil in treating leprosy, a task in which Filipinos have assisted.

Earl Lindsay, a Veterans Bureau stu dent in the School of Industrial Arts left today for Pittsburg. Kansas, to re- Iiv Henry Wood, (United Preu Staff Correspondent.) Rome, (By Mail). Along with Italy's present effort to. free herself from the bondage of foreign coal domination by the electrification of her state railways, Italy is making an equally heroic effort to throw off the yoke of foreign tobacco slavery. Between what Italy now pays for for eign coal and foreign tobacco, it can be truthfully said that a goodly portion of her national wealth goes annually up in smoke and foreign smoke at that What makes it particularly hard for Italy to gain her tobacco independence is the fact that just as she gets her nostrils nicely filled with the sweet scent of liberty and is on the point ol burning her betters with the lighted stump of a domestic made cigar, the Italian popu lation as a whole suddenly takes to smoking more than ever, and Italy has to return to spending millions abroad in order to supply the demand. Before the war Italy smoked 400.000,- 000 lire worth of cigars and cigarettes annually. Now she smokes 2,700,000,-000. All of this has a very direct bearini upon Italy's finances owing to the fact that the government operates a state monopoly on tobacco in Italv as rrurds both the manufacture and the sale. As she also has to bur the raw product the question of whether she can nredaee enough at home to supply her local de mand or whether she has to bur abroad thereby increasing her export at ions and sending up her exchange, becomes of great importance. Italy's monopoly on tobacco is the only one that as a matter of fact has been a real success as a revenue producer. She hat been able to operate this on a basis of about 70 per cent profit. In other words of the 7,000,000 lire which tho Italian public spends every day for !o- cacco, a.wu.uw lire goes mto the state treasury as profit and revenue and onlv 2,000,000 lire actually goes rip in smoke.
