SWEDISH LUTHERAN
SYNOD IN SESSION
Dry Law Backed, Immigra-
tion Act AssaiIed, Educa-
tionaI Work Discussed.

PHILADELPHIA, June 12.-Declar-
ing itself squarely In favor of the
eighteenth amendment and unalter-
ably opposed to modification of the
Volstead act, the Lutheran Augustana
Synod, representing all Lutherans or
Swedish extraction in the United
States, adopted resolutions denounc-
ing efforts to nullify the prohibition
act. The synod is meeting here for
its sixty-seventh annual convention.
Powerful liquor interests of the
country are making every effort to
prevent the operation of this benef1-
cent law" the resolutions charged.
The resolutions called on members Of
the synod Ito aid in the observance
of the law and to defeat hostile
referenda submitted to the electorate" +"
A protest was lodged against the
immigration act of 1924, the operation
Of which, it was declared. will result
in unjust discrimination against i'm
migration from northern European
countries. The synod expressed salts
faction over the work accomplished
by the Immigrant and sailors homes
at Boston, New York, Seattle and San
Francisco.
Efforts to centralize the eight educa-
tional institutions Of the synod, under
the control of a single board of educa-
ton, received a setback when the
synod rejected a resolution offered by
DR.. A. T. Lundholm of Gowrie, Iowa,
president of the Iowa Conference, to
make the synod responsible for the
financial support of all the colleges.
1t was forecast that a compromise
resolution would be adopted by the
synod, giving the general board Of
education advisory powers over the
educational institutions, leaving the
actual management to the present
boards. A joint synodical budget for
all the colleges will also probably be
adopted.
Action on a proposed campaign for
an endowment and building fund Of
$1,500.000 for Augustana College was
deferred until other educational prob
lens have been settled.
DIR. A. T. Ekblad, Superior. Wis;
DIR. julius Lincoln, Chicago. ILL.,; DIR.
Andrew Johnson, Moline, ILL.,, and
Judge Eskil Johnson, Des Moines.

the visit of the Crown Prince and
Princess of Sweden, and welcomed
them to the churches and institutions
Of the synod.
A movement to eliminate ex-
travagant expenditure of money for
floral tributes at funerals was launch
ed by Rev. V. J. Tengwald of Donald
son, Ind. He announced that an as
sociation had been formed, to be
known as the "Augustana Floral Mis-
sion,'' for the purpose of establishing
homes for retired pastors, mis-
sionaries, teachers and invalids. Mem
bers and organizations Of the synod
are asked to send cards Of sympathy
instead Of flowers and to donate the
money that would otherwise be spent
for floral tributes to the association.

SHORT CLASS MINING BEGINS AT C0[LEGE
 ON NOVEMBER 1ST
PRACTICAL SHORT COURSE IN MINING SHOWS LARGER EN.
 ROLIMENT YEARLY

The gold pan is a useful tool for valuing gold bearing ores but too firm a dependence upon the gold pan often plunges the prospector into difficult i ties. When 1t is desired to know ac- curately how much the ore averages, assays should be systematically taken as check on banning.
 Failure to do this led to many dis Appointments and financial losses. The quartz miner in Alaska, because of previous placer experience, depends upon the gold pan more than does the miner in any other section on the con- tinent. All quartz mines on produc- ing basis should have a daily assay control over both the operation of the mine and mill.
 There is nothing mysterious about the ordinary fire assay for gold and silver, and for this reason this work is offered to the Mining Short Course men at the Alaska college. This course under Professor Weiser has always been a popular one, the men enjoying the actual operation of the assay furnace. The prospector cannot transport assay equipment about with him in the hills but the small mine operator can put his training to good use and it is chiefly for his benefit that this work is offered.
 The Short Course starts November first. Board and room can be secured at the college dormitory for $55.0O per month which beats "batching." Those who desire to live in the dormi- tory should make reservations as ear ly as possible.
