NORSE-AMERICAN VETERANS
TO ACT AS COOLIDGE ESCORT
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Mar. 10.—
Twenty Norsemen who fought in
the Civil War and a similar number
who say service during the World
War will comprise the bodyguard for
President Coolidge when he visits
Minneapolis and St. Paul, June S, on
the occasion of the Norse-American
centennial celebration, according to
S. H. Holstad of Minneapolis, man
aging director.
The presidential guard will be re
cruited by Oley Nelson, Civil War
veteran, who is now sergeant-at-arms
in the lower house of the Iowa leg
islature, and Edwin L. Lindell, Min
nesota commander of the American
Legion. More than 4,000 Norsemen
fought for the Union in the Civil
War and Nelson, now 81, was among
those who enlisted as a private.
Nelson is president of the Scandi
navian Veterans’ association, a na
tional organization.
The centennial committee is ex
pecting the official party from Wash
ington to arrive some time Sunday,
June 7, to be present at the song
festival arranged for that day.
Among those to be here at the
time of the president’s visit will be
members of the Norwegian cabinet
and parliament said Mr. Holstad. He
does not expect members of the roy
al family, although the suggestion
has been made that an invitation
be extended Crown Prince Olaf.
Frank B. Kellogg, the new secre
tary of state in President Coolidge’s
cabinet is expected to be in Minne
sota in June or will accompany the
official party here.
BRITISH PASTOR SUGGESTS
TO CALLING WOMEN TO
FILL THE VACANT PULPITS
BLYTH, Eng.. Mar. 10.—Why not
call in some of the educated women
to become preachers of the gospel?
asked the Rev. J. Lineham, presi
dent of the United Methodists’ Con
ference, speaking at a meeting of
church workers in Blyth on the great
decrease in the number of local min
isters in the Methodist churches of
the country.
“We might call in the women, be
cause in these days women were un
dertaking tasks as they had never
done before,” said Rev. Mr. Line
ham. “Women would do wonderful
work as ministers, as they had love
and sympathy and a delecate insti
tution which men had not. Take
away women, and church life would
be terribly weakened.”
BRITISH VILLAGE TO BE
SUBMERGED IN BUILDING
OF LARGE RESERVOIR
HAWESWATER, Eng., Mar. 10.—
The picturesque village of Mardale
Green near here, with its famous old
hostelry, the Dun Bull, and the hill
side lands where many a sporting
meeting has been held, will shortly
be submerged, for it is the intention
of the Manchester City Council to
build a huge reset voir in this dis
trict. The quaint old village church,
however, wi l be rebuilt on nigh* r
lam?.
The reservV.r will b* .ne of the
largest in England and will involve
the building of an a induct S4 miles
long. It will provide storage for 20,
000,000,000 gT.hn.s, will spread over
1,000 acres and will take leu years
to complete at a cost of $r, 0,000,000

EVERY DAY some tired, prosperous or otherwise
travel-inclined man says to his wife, “Let’s go to
California.” And such is the power of advertising
that, although neither of them may ever have been
there before, they know just howT to go, approxi
mately what it will cost and where they want to stay.
The same with anything you may need or want.
You already know about, by whom it is made, what
it costs, and where it is for sale. Advertising is a
modern form of an intelligence department. It keeps
you informed, advises you of new things, suggests
new uses for articles you already own, and prepares
you today for wise and useful purchases tomorrow.
It does all this for you, almost unconsciously, dur
ing the half-hour or so you spend each day with your
newspaper. Little by little—the best and surest
way to learn—advertising makes you informed of
what is going on in the world that is useful to you.

1925 WILL WITNESS
FIGHT TO WIN CHILD
LABOR AMENDMENT
—
(Rjr Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 10 —
Altho more than one-quarter of the
states have rejected the proposed
child labor amendment to the con
stitution, the fight apparently only
is beginning.
Proponents of the amendment re
fuse to concede its defeat, and have
announced intensive campaigns dur
ing 1925 to change the unfavorable
votes. The opponents of the amend
ment have announced they will fight
even more determinedly to prevent
its ratification, and some constitu
tional lawyers say that whichever
side wins the issue probably will
get before the courts, and if it ever
becomes the law of the land it only
will be after a hard fight and a long
time.
There is historical precedent for a
state legislature changing its vote on
a constitutional amendment. It hap
pened to some of the constitutional
amendments in the reconstruction
days after the Civil War, but the
child labor amendment presents some
features on which it is sai<4 a legal
fight could be based.
As every school boy knows, a con
stitutional amendment must be rati
fied by three-fourths of the states,
thirty-six. Therefore, rejection by
thirteen state legislatures, deadlock
or action in one house and not in
the other may serve to defeat it.
The constitution provides also that
when three-fourths of the states have
ratified a proposed amendment, it
shall be proclaimed. This is done
by the state department. But the
constitution makes no provision for
proclaiming the defeat of a proposed
amendment and thereby closing the
chapter. Bills now are pending in
Congress to have defeat as well as
ratification proclaimed, but if enact
ed into law they prboably would not
affect the child labor amendment,
but would apply to future propos
als.
The state department, in addition
to being the department of foreign
affairs of the government, is the re
cording office where laws passed by
Congress are officially registered.
It takes no notice of the proposed
laws which fail of enactment. And
it has not been the practice for
states to report when they rejected
a constitutional amendment. They
only report when they accept one.
But the question of how long a
proposed amendment may pend, while
1 state legislatures are swayed one
way and the other upon it, presents
a question which ultimately may
come to the supreme court of the
United States. The proponents ol
the child labor amendment argue
that states have changed before and
been recorded according to their
latest decision.
Congress, in submitting the pro
posed amendment to the states, did
not fix any time limit within which
they ust act, as it did in the prohibi
tion amendment, the eighteenth. In
that case congress required action
within six years. But in the case
of the child labor amendment there
is no such limitation and the sup
porters of the change contend that
the amendment can be made effec
tive any time 36 states ratify it.
COURTS MAY HAVE TO
TELL DUBLIN WHETHER
IT HAS A LORD MAYOR
(By Associated Press)
DUBLIN, Mar. 10— Dublin is dis
cussing whether or not it has a lord
mayor, and opposite oppinions are
held. The practice in the past has
been that the lord mayor holds of
fice until his successor is appoint
ed, and Lord Mayor O’Neill believes
that, as no successor has been ap
pointed, he is still the lord mayor.
But the lord mayor is on official of
the corporation, and there is now
no corporation.
The entire municipal council was
suspended by the Free State govern
ment, which put in its place com
missioners who are now actually ad
ministering the city. The lord ma
yor must be an alderman or council
lor, and there are now no alderman
or councillors. The solution of the
difference will, it is said, be sub
mitted to the Supreme court.
