tim to the hospital further facilitated
the work of the physicians in overcom-

Four Happy Young People.
The young woman is an employee of
one Of the local factories coming to
Kenosha from Virginia, Mimi. She is
boarding at the residence on Elizabeth
street and during her stay in Kenosha
has had a girl chum. According to
the story which was limited at in dis
closures made to the authorities in
vestigating the suicide attempt, the
two girls had two men friends, and
the four young people had a happy
and fair-weather friendship.
Wherever Sophia went, her girl pal
went too, and with them in their fro
licsome pursuit for the rainbow of
happiness, went their two masculine
acquaintance. All was serene and
the quartet had~a merry and innocent
time together, enjoying their own
company, when the serpent entered
the garden of Eden.
Loses Her Best Pal.
Accordingto the story, Sophia had
become innocently and happily at
tached to one of the two young men,
and for time the attachment was one
acknowledged by the others and re-
ciprocated by the youth of her choice.
Then the other girl appeared in the
picture and made triangle of the
situation.
Sophia Stemky became bewildered
and broken hearted finding herself de-
serted by the youth most dear to her,
and also by the girl whom she loved
and trusted. Tears and scenes follow
ed, and the two girls separated after
a devastating quarrel.
The upshot of the whole thing, was
that The tender-hearted Sophia began
to feel that there was no room for
her on the good green earth, valuing
the friendship of both her girl and
man chum above anything else.
Thursday evening her unhappiness
brimmed over completely and she de-
clued TO end the Tragedy once Tor all
SO far as her own part in it was con-
cerned. Securing the iodine she en-
deavored to swallow the contents of
the dismal little bottle when she fell
fainting to the pavement.
Outside of the story is given, it is
believed that there was no more seri-
GUS foundation for the girls trouble
than that given and that the relation
ship which caused her suffering had
been. one Of friendship only. The
name mentioned by the girl as the
friend to whom she was attached was
given as ''Frank Andrews" of Newell
street, but no such person has been
located this morning.
Those who saw the young lady at
the hospital today described her as a
very attractive and charming girl.

Voliva Tries Out
Broadcasting Station
Zion Overseer Puts a Message on the
Air at New Broadcasting
Station on Sunday.

Voliva delivered his first address
over the radio yesterday afternoon.
1t was the first time that an address
was attempted on the Zion station and
it was therefore, experimental, as sta
ton CIV. C. B. D." is still testing. The
results of the tests was beyond expec-
tations. The Overseer's voice came
through the air with remarkable clear
ness, and showed that the plant, the
antenna and the microphones are all
working splendidlA Every word spok-
en- by Overseer V0liva could be heard
distinctly in Waukegan, Kenosha, Chi
cago, Milwaukee and in cities hundreds
of miles away. The plan was to broad
cast the entire service and this plan
was carried out to the letter. This
included program by Organist Fred
erick Faassen on the big pipe organ,
followed by the professional of the
Zion white robed choir. Then came
the invocation, reading of the scrip
lures, and prayer. Some selections by
the choir followed, with j. D. Thomas
directing. "The Heavens Are Telling"
from Heyden's 'Creation," was one of
the duGuSIuS sung ny LlS CI1OlI All
other anthems sung by the choir.
Another anthem was 40 Lord, How
Manifold Are Thy Works" These Sc
lections came through fine. The Over
seer took for his text, Things as
They Were in the Beginning, Things
as They Are Now, and Things as They
VIII Be-" His address came over the
radio perfect, and was probably list
ened to by million people.
Among the announcements concern
ing the radio, Overseer Voliva stated
that all services would open with a
set of bells playing "Praise God from
Whom All Blessings Flow" and would
close with the bells playing "God Be
With You Till We Meet Again" 1t is
believed that the bells will sound fine
and clear over the radio. The an
nouncer will close the broadcasting
of all programs with "Peace Be Unto
Thee!" Voliva also announced yes
terday that the Zion slogan will be
"Where God Rules Man Prospers."
/, Friday night, June 22nd has been
definitely set for the grand official
opening of the Zion Broadcasting Sta

Simply because those who were bol4

Will Not Support Landlord
A man of this class should take

be saved for it will build home
planned to meet the peculiar wants

will be like other days, for they will
not mean the coming of the moving

Real estate dealers, mortgage bank

associations all are ready to explain
how homes may be built mainly with

IRELAND TO CENSOR MOVIES
(By Associated Pressl

Dublin. - The Irish Government is
establishing national censorship of
cinema pictures. Hitherto managers
have been carrying on such censorship
as was provided in England, and many
films were uncensored, but there was
no uniformity and some public COM
plant of the exhibition of objection
able films.
The new censorship will supersede
all others. Every film must be cen
sored by the national censor and the
exhibition of any uncensored film will
be punished by heavy penalties.

HEREAFTER.

Where are the souls of the 1,3OO,-
900 Americans who died last year?
No doubt about their destination in
the minds of millions of good Chris
tians. But the unbelievers are in doubt,
trouble as we'll as uncertain.
After all's said and done, faith is
the greatest thing in life-as gen
eral force, whether faith in our loved
ones, in ourselves, or in life after
death. The doubters will not have
many years until they know for GER
tain. And, in eternity, they will find
those years shorter than one drop of
water compared with the whole ocean.
Time is a delusion, and that's why the
years slip by faster the older we be-
come.

AVIATORS "PLAY" GOLF
Game Consists Of Dropping Ball From Airplane and Partner Hoiing Out On The Ground.

Fl Paso. Texas. Oct. 3.--Aviators of the Twelfth Observation Squadron of the First Cavalry Division at Fort Bliss, claim to have invented a new game-airplane golf. The game Is played with half the members of each contesting team on the golf course. and the other half in airplanes.
 Golf balls are dropped from the airplanes as near as possible to the holes on the ground below, and their respective partners hole them out. Skill in the game is in the art of dropping the ball from the plane, in the pilot guiding the ship, and in the observer. or player, with the ball driving" it as close to the hole as possible.
 After the bali is driven" from the plane, the game becomes regular golf
