Held In Washington, ID. G.,
May 81 to June B

Miss Grace Frysinger, Senior
Home Economist, Washington, d.
c., in charge of Home Demonstra-

States, announces that so far 1900
rural country women of the world
in twenty-one countries have sent
reservations to the Third Triennial
Conference of the Associated
Country Women of the World to be
held in the United States for the
first time this year. Washington,
D. c., has been selected as the To-
cation for the conference held May
81 to June 5. Every state in the
Union is sending delegates, among
these Minnesota which is being re-
presented by at least thirty-five
rural women and home demonstra-
ton agents.
Miss Frysinger, Chairman of the
conference, gave short review of
the contemplated conference pro-
gram at the Annual Home Demon
stration Conference in st. Paul on
March 1928. This includes full
conference days of discussion by
the rural women themselves, talks
by Secretary of State Hull, Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace, Mrs.
Franklin d. Roosevelt and Mrs.
Watt, President of the National
Associated County Women Of the
World, a Garden Party at the
White House, an inspection tour of
the city and buildings of the Ma
TONS Capitol, banquet by the
Ambassadors and Ministers of for
eign countries and officials of this
country, at which time all foreign
women will appear in costume or
period dress, and a pilgrimage to

are in better condition than the
average motor after 10000 miles.
The tests are being closely
watched by representatives Of lead
ing automobile companies because
of the possible effect on car sales
of so large a saving in the Ameri-
can automomtive budget. The pos
sible effect on motor designs is also
being studied.
A refining company conducting
the tests discovered a little more
than a year ago that by slightly al
tering the chemical composition of
refined motor oil its film
strength or wear-resisting qualit-
les could be increased by some 200
per cent.
Auto engineers estimate high
film strength motor oil when gen.
orally used will directly eliminate
repairs costing car owners in this
country at least S50,OO0,000 a year
and will cut indirect maintenance
costs like amount.-Minneapolis

drawn. The purpose of this method
was to give the issues of the COM
ing campaign mature consideration
before the specific platform was
voted upon by the delegates. The
appointment of this platform COM
mittee by the state executive COM
mittee and their own platform COM
mittee.
Two keynote addresses are ex-
pected to be given before the con-
vention. Oscar E. Carlstrom, Of
Aledo, Illinois, a former attorney
general of the state of Illinois, will
outline the major national issues
of the coming campaign. The key
note address upon problems and
issues of the coming state cam
paign will be given by r. E. Bar
ron, of Wadena, Mimi
Four major issues which I'M
questionably will be given import
ant consideration in the platform
making are farm relief, revision of
taxation, conservation and drastic
government economy. A survey of
the resolutions passed by recent
county conventions indicated that
these four issues were in a major
ity.
A large share of the plans and
preparations for the state conven-
ton have been in the hands of the
new state advisory council, recent
development in the Republican par
ty organization of Minnesota. This
new governing body is product of
democratic process which gives
the rank and file of the party a
voice in party management. This
state advisory council which con-
selected from each of the congress
sional districts by the county chart
men and chairwomen has been
meeting with the regular state exc
cutive committee in determining
party plans and policies.
Three groups have given serious
consideration to the platform re-
concentrations to be submitted to
the convention body. The full plat
form committee met last Thursday
to begin the discussion of drafting
the proposals. The following day
the recommendations were given
further consideration by the state
executive committee and advisory
council meeting jointly. This week
the county chairmen and county
chairwomen from each of the state
county organizations will meet to
voice their opinions of the platform
proposals.

Record Attendance
At Service Sunday
New Plan Arranged To Provide
Room For All Who Wish To
Worship at Zion Church

Zion Lutheran Church last SUM-
day broke the record in having the
largest Easter attendance in its
history. But also for the regular
Sunday morning services the need
has been apparent, for some time,
for more seating capacity.
In order to provide room for all
who wish to worship in her midst,
Zion Lutheran Church, in her last
voters meeting passed the resolu-
ton to arrange for two main SER
vices each Sunday morning, both
services, of course, to be conducted
in the English language.
Heretofore, a German service had
been arranged, especially for the
older members, every second Sun
day. But there seems to be no ap-
parent need for this arrangement
any more. The attendance does not
seem to warrant it any longer So
the following change has been
made: to have two main services
in the English language each Sum-
day morning. The first service will
begin at 900 A. NJ, and the second
service at HOO A. M. The Sunday
School and Bible Class hours will
be between the two services, viz,
from 1000 A. M, to HOO A. NJ.
Thus, the first group Of worship
ers, /. e. families including the chill
dren will arrange to come at 900
A. M. and remain until II A. NJ,
and the second group will arrive at
1000 A. NJ, in time for Sunday
School and Bible Glass and remain
for the second service from HOO
A.. M, to 1900 A. M.
~ few words about the Sunday
SCHOOL. Zion Lutheran church has
a full and well organized Sunday
School system from the Cradle roll
through all the grades, up to the
Bible Glasses. The enrolment now
Is near the 200 mark.
The following comprise the Sun

lessons has started with Easter
Sunday. If your child is not affil-
lated with any church and does not
attend any Sunday School, you are
kindly urged to send your child or

possible. Still better bring them.

you and your children a cordial

Cycads Were Prominent
Millions of Years Ago

Cycads are members Of an an
cient family far more numerous In
past ages. Fossil species are found
in many lands where they fiourished
as the dominant plant life millions
Of years ago.
BOtanists call that era the "Age
Of Cycads." biologists, ignoring in
animate life, record 1t as the "Age
Of Reptiles" And it is shown as
the latter in all geological charts,
notes writer in the Los Angeles
Times.
This era in the worlds history
Is named the Mesozoic, a Greek
word meaning middle" The earli-
est period Of this era, termed the
CretaceOus, was fourth in what Is
called the age of life: Inverte-
brates, fishes, amphibians, reptiles
and mammals; man appearing in
the latter part Of the mammal
phase, following the Glacial or Ice
age. The fourth one, age Of reptiles
and cycads, Immediately preceded
the one where Australia existed
much as it is today, with her kan
garoos, cy"ads, and tree ferns.
Since that time tree ferns have
developed in other tropical lands.
cycads in trOpic and subtropics,
but no other types Of kangaroos
have appeared, and only one other
animal Of the same family, the
American opOssum. Simultaneous
ly with the latter, doubtless, came
the American cycads, of which
there are about SO species. These
are rather widely distributed over
the tropical and subtropical parts of
the Western hemisphere.

matters as follows:
The Dirnberger Case
This is the action now pending
in the Distric. Court of this Coun-
ty against Bernadine Dirnberger
seeking an injunction to restrain
her from maintaining the one
story addition on the north side of
her building at the corner of Main
and Third Streets, on the ground
that the said addition is an en-
croachment on. and an obstruction
in, the public street.
This case is on the Court calen-
dar for trial at the general term of
the District Court, which begins on
April 18th, 1886, and must have i'm
mediate attention.
AS the outcome of this case will
determine the width of Third
Street on the north side of the
Dirnberger property and will pro-
baby affect the width of the street
at other places, it Is of sufficient
importance so that it should be
tried and definitely determined.
The fact that Joseph Dirnberger,
the husband of Bernadine Dirnber-
ger, the defendant in this action,
has been made member Of the
City Council may prove embarras-
sing to the new City Attorney in
the conduct of this case and trust
that the City Council will see that
he receives the cooperation and
support which this highly import
ant case deserves.
I will be glad to furnish the new
City Attorney with the legal cita-
tons and facts and details of the
case.
The Betty Gray Case
This matter is pending before the
Minnesota Industrial Commission
and is an action brought by Betty
Gray, the widow of Vernon Gray,
to recover S7500.00 from the City
under the Workman's Compensa-
ton Act. Vernon Gray was killed
by lightning while working on an
E. r. A. project in the City Park
and his employment was not COW
cred by Workman's Compensation
Insurance due to the fact that, at
the time, no casualty insurance
company would write insurance on
e. r. A. workers and the insurance
heretofore carried by the City had
been cancelled by the insurance
company. Shortly after his death,
the Government set up an insur-
ance fund of it's own to cover sim
liar liabilities, but the City Is liza
BILE for any judgment which may
be rendered against it in the pend
ing case.
This case has been tried except
as to one phase thereof. In addi-
ton to showing a situation at the
time of the accident which would
make the City liable, Mrs. Gray
can not recover unless she shows
that the City assumed Workman's
Compensation Liability in this par
ticular case, and Mrs. Gray's At
torney had overlooked this part of
the matter in preparing for trial
and, at the trial, had no proof

NEAR DEATH
IN LANDING
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

HAVANA, Dec. is U.N.SO.
With one forced landing and
other unusual experiences, this
correspondent has had the thrill
ing experience of accompanying
Major Alexander P. De Seversky
as his lone passenger on a record
making flight from New York to
Havana, with a stop at Miami,
Fla.
The flying time from New York
to Havana was exactly seven hours,
q new worlds amphibian record.
We made the New York-Miami
flight in five hours and IS minutes,
for the distance of 1850 miles de-
spite bad weather and the Miami
Havana jump in one hour and IA
minutes.
!Takeoff Thrilling
The most thrilling experience
OF all was the takeoff from Miami.
A mechanic forgot to SCREEN the
top on a gas tank and when
Seversky, famous Russian war ace,
got into the air, gasoline blew in
his face, covering the windshield,
so Seversky could not see ahead.
He knew he could not proceed to
Havana that way, so started to
land.
Major Seversky circled the field
several times, his foot slipping on
the pedal from the oil. AS he con-
tinued to cidcle, it became ap-
parent he was in trouble, and an
official Of the Aeronautical Asso-
citation of America waved other
planes away from the field. Sc
versky then landed, escaping a
serious accident by only a few
feet as he barely scaled a fence,
blinded by the oil.
Skillful Landing
When the plane struck the
ground, it skipped off te runway
and bounced along more than a
hundred feet. received a slight
cut on my left hand.
Seversky said:
''It was marvellous how my
landing gear stood up under the
impact. 1t is a good thing wer
are using an amphibian in
stead Of a land plane or we
would have been out back"
After changing his oil,soaked
shoes and clothes, Seversky and
hoped for Havana at 1:44 o'clock
Monday afternoon and dropped
down in Havana harbor at 1853
p. m, where SeverSky made an
other precarious landing.
Worst Luck Of Career
Seversky said that he had worse
luck on this trip than at any time
during his flying career, and he
is confident that he can make the
distance in much better time. He
believes future airplanes will be
built for speed rather than for
carrying hundreds of passengers,
as some aeronautical experts pre-
dict.
President Gomez was to receive
Seversky today at the presidential
palace. He will remain here for
a day or two before returning to
Miami and New York.
