Polish Boy Scouts Do
 Not Use Tobacco or Drink

Warsaw, June i3.--The Polish Boy Scouts have introduced complete pro- hibition against alcohol and tobacco into their organization. and the re- striction is vigorously applied to all except honorary members. On the recent feast Of St. Stanisss, the pa tron saint Of the Polish president. whose first name is Stanislas, the Scouts presented to him the Scout badge and made him an honorary member.
 Immediately after receiving the dec oration the president returned to his palace to receive numerous guests and delegations bringing him good wishes. When during the reception wine was served the president ex- cused himself, saying, 'I am wearing the Scout sign and therefore must re- speet the laws Of the organization, so although it is my fete day, l do not feel free to drink wine"

pier life than in the old days of f,so-
 called personal liberty
 Dr. Brandel le called the attention of | the convention to the present discus sion in the churches ot future wars and the principle of arbitration and
 urged that the Augus,ana Lutheran church go on record at this time in opposition to all international con- diets.
 The effect of the world vas has
 been seriously felt in the shortage of
 applicants for the ministry, according
 10 the report of the synod president.
 Augu5tana Theological Seminary at
 Rock Island, Il. had an annual en-
 rolment Of ninety students before the
 war;, while the present enrolment has
 decreased 10 sixty.
 We could probably secure many more candidates for ordination," said Dr. Brandelle but in that case we would be obliged 10 admit many who lack the necessary education. The Lutheran church is not inclined to do this. We need 10 turn to our parents and ask them for their boys, and to OUT Lutheran congregations and ask them 10 help educate them for the ministry"
 fund Of half million dollars for church extension work was advo- cated by the synod head. who declared that enormous home mission fields are tnadeIuatcly cared for.
 "Thare are thousa nds of Lutherans in then orthern part of the United States" said Dr. Brandelle, who are unChurched. Calls are coming 10 us very insistently from these sections and from the west coast 4 large DOT ton of Canada is inviting us. In the great northwest our work Is only be- 1 gun. But there is a scarcity Of men. {. We could possibly provide the neces- sary funds from our pockets. Not SO. i however, in the matter of ministerial 1 candidates"
 pr. Brandelle reported that the ! Kansas conference has decided 10 raise s400, 900 for the endowment and | buildings for Bethany College. Linds- | tcrg, Kansas. Upsala College, kenil- 1 worth, N. J., has just completed q slmila- campaign for S500,o00. This institution will shortly be removed 10 . East Orange, N. J. Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, Minn., is engaged in a drive for s4oo,000 in order 10 secure a gift of s1Ao,6oO from the Foundations General Ed ication Board.
 A group Of new buildings costing sS00,000 have been completed at Aug lstana Theological Seminary, Rock Island, H., and ladies' dormtory nss been erected by Luther College Nahoo. Nebr. Tne synod head recom- nended the CT ction Of new hospi- al building for the Immanuel Hospi- al. Omaha, Nebr., and the use of the present. hospital buildidng as an in- 'aid home,

GARRY EGGS INLAND
Fish Are Put in Rcscr, oirs By Ducks Who Garry Greetings in Bills and On Their Feet.

Pittsburgh. June 1S.--A popular belief that fish are placed in reser- Noirs for purlfication purposes is dis credited by E. E. I.anpher, supern- tenaent of the distribution division of the Pittsburgh water bureau.
 'It IS an old notion that fish serve to keep down bacteria in water" Lam phnr said, but our bacteriologist says this idea cannot be tantiated. On the other hand. fish do no harm.
 Although many persons think the fish are put in the reserl oirs to purity the water, they generally get into the water in the form of eggs that have lodged in the bills and feet of ducks. The ducks pause on the surface of tho water in their flights in the spring and fall and the eggs. which are washed off while the ducks are swim ming. soon hatch out"

PASSING OF SALOON
 CALLED A BLESSING
Dr, Brandelle at Lutheran Synod Says Poverty Has Receded

Dehalb. IL, June 15,-The passing of the American saloon has already pro-
 duced d marked effect upon the social
 life Of the nation, according to Dr. C.
 A. Brandelle Of Rock Island. H., pres
 ident of the Lutheran Augustana Syn
 od, in his report to the 65th annual convention Of that body here today.
 "Despite periods of financial depres- sion" declared Dr. BrandelIe, there generation ago."
 As a result of local. state, and na. tional prohibition. he asserted, inc Lutheran church has found it nccCs- sary 10 make radica changes in it's policy Of caring for orphans, While 1t was difficult a generation ago 10 care for all the parentless children that were left as charges Of the church, the Augustana synod. which controls eleven orphana ges in various parts of the country. is now able 10 find good homes for nearly all or phaned children, and is rapidly con- Verting it's orphan asylum into tenn porary receiving homes.
 Tt is significant that the Kansas conference, in the state where prohi- bition has been in effect the longest, has made the first move in this direc- tion." said Dr. Brandelle. This con- ference has now decided to convert its orphans home at Mariadahl, Kansas, into a receiving home. Children will be kept there only until homes are found for them.
 The Nebraska conference has also felt the blessing of the passing of the saloon, and the orphanage at Stroms- | burg. Nebr., has been consolidated | with the Bethlehem home at Omaha"
 President Brandelle reported a gift | in lands valued at sl00,000 10 the l Vasa, Minn., orphanage by Prof. A. B. l Anderson of Red Wig,n Minn. This institution will shortly be removed 10 Red Wing, also to be conducted along , receiving home lines.
 Tn spite of this remarkable change | in the social and economic life of our i people, said Dr. Dr.'Brandelle, opposition | to the Eighteenth amendment con- tinues. A small minority imagines | that by degrees it will be in a posi- ton to compel us to take on the sa- loon again. And this in spite of the fact that there is abundant evidence that the law is being enforced more effectively every day. It cannot be denied that millions of men. women and children are leading a much hap
