tion Of the Business and Profession
al Women's club at jamestown were

vention. Miss Beach had been deep

Mrs. Forest and gave vivid char
acter portrayal and analysis of her
success as a club leader.
Miss Stassfa Gorezki, who was "A
delegate to the convention painted a
word picture of the cub rooms of
the jamestown girls. Since Miss
Gorezki serves on the house commit
tee of the local club she took live
ly interest in decorations and fur
nishings, investigated every possible
method used in furnishing club
rooms, and reported that she would
never allow anyone peace until the
Bismarck club rooms had some of the
conveniences and beauty of an ideal
club room. Figures showing dues,
club room rents, and expenses of all
clubs attending the conference had
been gathered by the speaker and
were presented for the consideration
Of the mothers and daughters.
Reviews Vocational Luncheon.
Miss Madge Runey reviewed, the
vocational luncheon. She stated that
after listening to all the speakers
tell of why their kind Of business or
profession was the best she would
have had difficulty in selecting a
change in profession, for each one
was firmly convinced that hers was
far superior to anyone elses.
Miss Carrie Haugen brought back
to her fellow club members. some Of
the inspiration and impressions she
had received at the "May morning
breakfast" at Jamestown college and

the seriousness of which is unde-
termined so far and from 400 to
500 persons homeless completed
the check-up today, "a hours
q, after the tornado went through
Mitchell county.
The path of the storm varied
from two miles to a quarter of
mile in width and about 80
miles long. Scarcely house was
left intact. The twister came in
the hour before dawn, when the
, county slept. Some houses were
carried through the air and re-
placed on the ground with oc-
cupants merely shaken from
their beds. Other houses were
cut from their foundations and
the walls and ceilings falling
away, leaving the families gazing
skyward as they awoke.
A three-months-old baby was
found alive in a field after the
storm; an 18-year-old girl was
whirled a dizzy half-mile and es-
capped unbruised. Elmer Fizzel,
with his wife and baby, woke up
one-half mile from where their
house stood when they went to
sleep. The house was carried
along intact and deposited intact
on the ground, leaving even the
mirrors unshattered.
Today every church in the city
is housing homeless.
