Fruit also could be utilized, it was said. More cans will be needed also and those having either vegetables or cans to donate are asked to call Mrs. H. W. Herman at 872. Boy Scouts or repre- sentatives of other organizations will call for the materials. The North Dakota Power and Light company has given the use of its demonstration kitchen.

Speaking for that teeming mass he has characterized as “India’s dumb millions,” he declared he had come to London in a spirit of cooperation and that he was determined to strive to the utmost for an agreement. If, at any time, he finds he is not serving a useful purpose he will with- draw from the conference, he said. At this high point of his career, in what was perhaps the most important Speech he has made, he demanded complete self-government for India and granting of all the other condi- tions enumerated in the Karachi mandate given him by the national- ists of India. India, he said, is willing to remain @ partner in the British empire, but that partnership must be such that it may be terminated at the will of eith- er party. “If God wills,” he said, “it will be @ permanent partnership, but at the same time, the right to terminate the association will constitute a real test of the equality of position enjoyed by both partners.” Delegates sat in silence while this frail person, who looked like a medie- val crusader in his white robes, de- veloped his case point by point, rising at times to eloquence which seemed to surprise even his adherents.

CONSTITUTION Alfred Zuger Tells Members of Kiwanis That American Do- cument Is Masterpiece Characterizing the constitution of the United States as a masterpiece and perhaps the most wonderful work struck off at a given moment by the hand of man, Alfred E. Zuger out- lined the document and elaborated on some of its far-reaching results in an address before members of the While the constitution has been criticized in many particulars and was subjected to the hazards of @ great civil war, Zuger said, no one denies to the document its position of pri- macy among the constitutions of the great governments of the world. The constitution is limited to a brief statement of the underlying \principals of government and human rights, the speaker pointed out, and the original American document and its amendments for nearly 150 years has covered and provided for every department of government. ‘The idea of three departments of government, namely, legislative, exe- cutive, and judicial was not new at the time of the adoption of the con- stitution, Zuger said, but there never had been such distinct separation of the three functions as provided for in the federal constitution. As a re- sult judges are independent, the president is an actual executive head of the nation. and congress is the most powerful legislative body in the world, yet each acts as an effective check on the other. So long as the constitution of the United States is respected and obey- ed this nation will go on in peace and in justice, Zuger said, and our nation comes closer than any other in she world of giving every man @ squ deal and an equal opportunity with his fellows. Visitors at the meeting were Jerry Band, Charles Clark and F. 8. Stuart of Crosby, and J. C. Taylor and H. Niles of Bismarck.

Johnson, tour manager for the U. 8. ing Ravage Stricken City sm SAPETY OF AIRMEN IN OCEAN ATTEMPT Two Germans and Portuguese On Plane Which Left Lisbon Sunday SEARCH EASTERN COAST Craft Had Fuel For 48 Hours In Air; Time Expired Early Tuesday New York, Sept. 15.—(P)—Fear for the safety of two Germans and a Portuguese who took off from Lisbon, Portugal, on a non-stop flight to New York arose Tuesday as their gray monoplane was overdue. Tempered with fear was the reali- zation that the plane might have come down at some remote pdace in the maritime provinces of Canadg. The filers took enough fuel, by their own estimate, to last 48 hours. That hour was up at 4:30 a. m., eastern standard time, Tuesday. A check of possible landing places on Nova Scotia and Newfoundland revealed no trace of the filers. A low ceiling overhung the Nova Scotia coast. Christian Johanssen, German war filer; Will Rody, 23-year-old German and owner of the plane, and Fernan- do Costa Viega, Portuguese sports- man, were sighted at 1:40 p. m, east- ern standard time, Monday by the steamship Pennland, about 395 miles from Halifax. At that point, the plane had com- Pleted about 2,600 miles of its 3,700- mile flight. To reach New York it had to go 1,100 miles farther. Under favorable conditions the plane could have arrived at 2 a. m., standard time, Tuesday. Weather conditions during the first part of the journey were good.

The plan is more to enjoy the plays that are produced. A recrea- tional interest is being catered to so formed. One will produce plays, and the other will cater to those interest- ed in reading and interpreting plays and other literary masterpieces. “Committees will be appointed to select suitable plays, make costumes, construct stage scenery, study the art of stage makeup, lighting, and other stage effects, publicity and business management, and such other activi- ties as may be incident to the pro- ductions. “Among the outstanding perform- ances planned for this season will be a Christmas Play to be given on the night of Dec. 25 at the World War Memorial building.” Capitol Commission To Meet Here Sept. 19 Grand Forks, N.
