SAVED SHOPPERS FROM BEES
Potent Magic Exercised by California
Constable Earned Him Vote Of
Thanks From Women.

We have all heard Of the snake
charmer, but II bee charmer Is the
latest.
To Constable Al La Cunha of Hay
ward, Cal, goes the medal. Alone
and unaided. la Cunha rounded up a
swarm of angry bees and conquered
them without a single sting.
The bees In question, having out
grown their dwelling of ten years
over the shop OF Edward s. Warren,
swarmed toward the courtroom of
Judge Jacob Harder, Jr, through
streets filled with women shoppers.
La Cunha Witnessed the flight of
the bees and then his magic became
apparent.
He beat a tattoo with a stick upon
a tin can and the bees became
charmed" They ceased their flight
and settled on a nearby tree.
The shoppers hearing of his daring
gave the constable n vote OF thanks.

Everett Freedman Tells Of
Visit to National Dairy
Show.

Everett Freeman, who attended the
National Dairy show at Hamline, at
the invitation of the Grand Forks Ro-
tary club, told Rotarians at their noon
meeting today. Of some Of the things
hat he had learned at the show.
Mr.. Freeman said that he had been
impressed particularly with the pos
sibility of building up a milk herd by
the crossing Of ordinary scrub cows
with pure bred bulls. Records intro
duced which have been kept by agri-
cultural colleges and schools, the
speaker said, showed that the milk
record for the third generation was
more than doubled, and in some In
stances was trebled. through the
building up of the herd, in his way.
The larger part of today's program
was devoted to boys work. and Major
Albert E. Brown, representing the Ro-
'tary club, presented recommendations
from a committee of the kiwanis.
Rotary and Lions clubs, urging exam
nation as to mentality in the case OF
delinquency, more and adequate police

of another mar at the Y. M. C. A. to

Man Is
Delegate To
Lutheran Meet

A: 1..Widlund Of Grand Forks is a
delegate from this city to the third
biennial convention of the United Lu-
theran Church in America, which is
being held in Holy Trinity church.. at
Buffalo, N. Y. The convention opens
today, and will continue through to
October 26. One thousand delegates
are expected to attend. =,
The meeting is characterized as one
of the most important church meet
ings in the country this year. What
attitude the United Lutheran church
shall take toward INSTRUMENTATION
unlonizing movements promises to be
the outstanding question to be dis
cussed. The exact relation of the
church. to the Federal Council of
Churches the World Conference on
Faith and Order, and the Universal
Conference on Life and Work is to be
established.
The United Lutheran church was
formed in New York City in 1918
through the merging of three synodi-
cal groups-the General Council, the
General Synod, and the United Synod
OF the South. Numerically it is the
largest Lutheran. body in America.
Statistics show a baptized membership
of ~1,25O,OO0 and u confirmed, or ac-
tive membership of over $40. 900. 1t
is composed Of SO constituent synods
reaching into practically every state
and having churches in Canada and
the West Indies. It's educational sys-
tenn comprises 10 seminaries, 20 col
leges. and Z academies, with a total
valuation, of $4,000, 900. It's foreign
mission work Is conducted in Africa,
India, Japan and Bouth America, with
an annual expenditure totaling $780,
600. The total .Va1uo IF oh1lroh nron-
erty and endowment is $1,000, 900.
The United Lutheran church, through
its synodical constituents, is the old
est Lutheran, body in America. 1t
dates back to the time when the Dutch
Lutherans settled in New York in
1923, and the Swedish Lutherans set
tied on the Delaware in 1893, and the
Salzburgers came to Georgia and the
Carolinas in 1874. .
