The Lions den, where the luncheons are held, was jammed and. with the spirit of the Minot district conference flowing over into the first Iscal session since the club's trip north, the luncheon was a session full of snap and jollity. The feature of the day was a talk by Kenneth J. Crawford, who, last week, returned from a trip around the world. He is the son of L. F. Crawford, state librarian, and he spoke of that portion of his travels which occurred between Bombay and Singapore, in that portion of the earth where half of the population of the world may be found. He gave a very interesting descrip- tion of the world’s gem of poetic architecture, the Taj Mahal, and also of the loathsome death practices of the Parsees, in offering their dead to the vultures, so that their might not pollute fire, water or land, three sacred objects to the Zoroaster or fire worshiper. Col. W. A. Alfonte brought up the matter of the citizens’ military train- ing camp to be held at Fort Lincoln August 1-30. He said the fort has been allotted a quota from 300 to 400, for North and South Dakota, but so far there has been but one applicant. Brings Up Rotary’s $10,009,000 Clyde Young spoke on the subject of the proposed Rotary endowment He said this matter was due for about two years consideration. It was sug- gested at the Minneapolis interna- tional convention last year. and it had its origin in the fact that the overhead of International Rotary headquarters is growing so large its assessment on the membership has created a problem for lightening it. | Endowment has been proposed in three forms: - direct contribution, be- quests and life insurance.’ The ex- penses of the international organiza- tion has jumped in a few years from $24,000 to $550,000 in 1927, when the membership was 1,300,000. It has been decided that the endowment shall be in the amount of $10,000.00. There is no drive on for it and no definite plan for one or how to create it. said Mr. Young. J. C. Taylor, president of the club, reported the strength of Rotary as 3,094 clubs, 141,500 members and 47 countries represented. * Penalized Four Absentces The club put on a comedy stunt by calling up Col. W. A. Alfonte, E. O. Mundy, L. F. Bechtold and W. ‘H. Paine, one-year members who failed to attend the Minot confer- ence and were considered amenable to a penalty; Judge A. M. Christian- son was called on to pronounce sen- tence, but with capital punishment abolished and cruel and unusual pen- alttes prohibited by the federal con- stitution, he yielded the stern task to Henry Duemeland, song leader, and the culprits were condemned to sing “The Old Gray Mule.” J.
