Special Dispatch to The Star. COLLEGE PARK, Md., August 5.— Approximately 500 boys and girls from every county in Maryland and a number from Virginfa, West Vir- ginia and Pennsylvania, hers for the annual 4H Club week of the Uni- versity of Maryland, were today in the midst of a program arranged by E. G. Jenkins and Miss Dorothy Em- erson, respectively, of boys’ and girls’ club work in the State. Registration is the largest in the history of club week here. The program will continue until Tuesday. Girls outnumber the boys, there being about 300 lassies present. Twelve county agents and six county home demonstration agents are present. Older Members Numerous. An unusually large number of older club members, from 18 to 21 years of age, are attending. Most of these have matriculated in club week for several years. Many of them own cattle, swine or chickens of the high- est type. This morning classes in all phases of agriculture and homemaking started. Instructors, for the most part, are of the extension service staff of the university. The Baltimore Dairy Council will have represent- atives here to give demonstrations in health work as an added feature. At an assembly this afternoon the boys and girls were formally welcomed to the university by Dr. Raymond A. Pearson, president, and Dr. Thomas B. Symons, director of the extension service. Classes for Tomorrow. Agriculture and home-making classes will be resumed tomorrow morning and in the afternoon a number of offi- als of the Maryland Bankers’ Asso- ciation will address the club members. Judge Frank I. Duncan, chairman of the agricultural committee of the as- sociation, will be the principal speaker. Sunday night the consecration serv ice, an impressive and inter- esting feature, will take place. All Star Club members will select about a dozen additions to their ranks from the various organizations. These will be boys and girls who are adjudged outstanding in their neighborhood for community service. No selections will be announced until the service, and there is much speculation as to who will be picked. Monday will be a gala day, with the boys and girls getting their annual trip to Washington as guests of the Maryland Bankers’' Association. The Department of Agriculture and Na- tional Museum will be visited. ‘While here groups will be taken to the Government farms at Beltsville, Md., and Arlington, Va., for intensive inspection.

PARIS, August 5.—A new contract covering Maurice Drouhin’s participa- tion in the Paris-to-New York flight of Charles A. Levine's monoplane Columbia will be presented to Mr. Levine this afternoon, it is learned. The contract was drafted this morn- ing by attorneys for the two men, and comprises the terms already set forth in the preliminary agreement which Drouhin desires Levine to fulfill. The preliminary agreement is undey- stood to have provided for the Ol‘¥- lishment by Mr. Leving of an insdr- ance of 300,000 francs in favor of Drouhin’s family. Drouhin, John Carisi, the Bellanca plane expert, and “Doc"” Kinkade, the Wright motor expert, continue to make tests with the Columbia. It is stated that if everything is arranged satisfactorily, she will be able to start Saturday or Sunday, but Levine favors the thirteenth, when the moon will be at the full, and Kinkade thinks the fifteenth is the likeliest date, The Columbia can get off the ground rapidly with a heavy load, as was demonstrated this morning by Drou- hin, who piloted the plane into the air with a load of 2,200 pounds in tanks. Experts agreed the take-off was “beautiful” and the aviator when he landed 10 minutes later said he was ‘“enchanted” with the plane’s action. .
