SILVER WEDDING
PAIR SERENADED
Mr.. and Mrs. Zimmerman
Are Royalty Entertained
On Anniversary.
ALL DAY CELEBRATION

There are not many ''young cou-
pies" who are able to celebrate their
silver wedding in this day and age
But on Sunday Mr.. and Mrs. John
Zimmerman, whose ages are forty
five and forty, respectively, celebrated
the twenty-ffth anniversary of their
union. Merry as the original we'd
ding had been at Racine on January
%, 1897. it could scarcely have been
attended with as much jubilation and
pomp as was the affair of Sunday.
For one thing the couple in the midst
of the prime of their forties, had
twenty-five times as many friends as
when they started in life's partner
ship together, and these assisted in
making the occasion a most joyous
one.
Serenaded at Dawn.
At the crack of dawn, when nights
candles were burnt out and jocund
day stood tip-toe on the mountain
top" the silver wedding pair were
serenaded at their home, GIG Middle
street. The German-American Sing
ing society, Conrad Vreul, leader,
went in a body to the house and sur
prised Mr.. and Mrs. Zimmerman.
The singers got into the house
through the rear apartment, and
found their way to the bedroom. Here
the surprised host and hostess were
awakened by song which had been
composed especially in their honor.
The remainder of the day up until
six o'clock the house, so unceremoni-
ously entered, was given over to re-
ceiving friends, gifts and congratula-
tions.
Six O'clock Supper.
At six O'Clock a wedding supper,
with Mr.. and Mrs. Zimmerman host
and hostess, was served at the Ger
man-American home to 500 guests.
John Zimmerman, Jr., who served
five years with the marines during
the war, was present and his parents
celebrated his twenty second birthday
anniversary which fell upon the sill
yer wedding day. Joseph thinner
mann, the other son, was also present.
Among the out-of-town guests were
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Stoffel of Ra-
cine, Mr.. and Mrs. S. Schmitt of New
York and Messrs. H. Mertines, C.
johnson, J. Rusk and E. Nagle, all of
Racine.
Special Music Program.
Music entertained the guests dur
ing the supper hours. A violin quar-
tet, composed of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
erick Krah and Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Krah, furnished a special program
followed by clarinet solos by Mr..
Bongnitte and Mr. Alex Erickson.
Paul Wellmann entertained later with
some amusing improvisations upon
mouth-harp. Dancing at midnight
completed the merriment of the oc-
casion.
One hundred of the neighborhood
friends of the silver wedding couple
purchased gift of a hundred-piece
set of china dishes, together with
silver electric percolator, which was
presented with due ceremony. Many
other lovely gifts were showered upon
Mr.. and Mrs. Zimmerman.

MUSSOLINT MAY
FOLLOW SUGGESTION
Italian Premier Said to be Considering
Calling New World Economic
Conference.
(Copvrigbt 1928 by United Pregs)


Rome-Premier Mussolini has Writ
ually been invited by Senator Borah to
call world economic conference.
Before deciding what action to take,
Mussolini, is awaiting the reaction of
France, Great Britain and Belgium
to Borah's proposal.
The invitation came in the form of
a statement given to the United Press
at Washington, commenting on the
urgent need for a strong leader to
point the way to solution of present
international problems and declaring
that public opinion would rally in sup
port of a movement for world
economic conference if a forceful
figure like Mussolini would take the
initiative.
The premier read Senator Boraf s
statement and personally gave permits
sion for it to be circulated. Asked
whether he would take the lead as
suggested, he refused to comment, evj
IDENTIFY waiting to see how public opin
ion in France, Great Britain and Bel
GUM receives the suggestion. All the
newspapers in Rome and the leading
cities of Italy reproduced Borah's
statement, which said in part:
"There is very widespread, strong
public sentiment in this country fav-
oring an economic conference, but I
am of the opinion that our government
feels the initiative should come from a
European power. If a statesman of
Premier Mussolini's force and COM
polling leadership should lead in such
a movement venture the opinion the
step would be backed in a marked de-
gree by the people of the United
States and all countries. Public opin-
ion would force the governments to act
and stay if possible the disastrous
consequences now impending"

The Washington times., 1923-10-19

At first, Bridget decided to
live a life Of seclusion from the
world. She selected a great oak
tree, beneath which she built her
cell. The place where she prayed
and worshiped was called xii \
dara"-The Church Of the Oak"
It was from this chapel that
the city Of Kildare. which sprang
up on that spot, got its name
From this modest beginning,
the Church Of Kildare grew to
be the largest and most powerful
nunnery in all Ireland. It be-
came so important that bishop
was appointed to conduct the
services and pontifical offices.
1t was because Of this convent
that Kildare grew to be the chief
town Of the province Of Leinster.
Thither flocked pilgrims by the
thousands. Hundreds Of young
women and widows followed the
example Of the lovely character
who presided over the Church Of
the Oak. And for her country,
which was just coming out from
under the dark cloud Of paganism,
Bridget performed a great serv-
ice. She converted many to
Christianity.
There worked the nuns with
their beloved Mother Bridget but
none labored with greater humili-
ty or energy than Bridget. She,
herself, often tended the cattle
in the pastures and titled the soil
with her own willing hands. No
service was too lowly for this
good woman to perform.
When Bridget died in 523, her
remains were placed in the
Cathedral Church which she had
founded. But in after years her
bones were carried to Downpat-
rick and laid beside those of st.
Patrick and st. COLUMBIA.
Since her death all honor and
reverence have been accorded to
this splendid and unse1fish wo-
man, who did much for the devel-
opment of the land she loved.
Because of her goodness as we'll
as her work. st. Bridget ranks
first among the heroines of Irish
history.

HEROINES OF HISTORY
ST. BridgeFs Work in Converting Ireland
by MARK STUYVESANT-
BY MARK STUYVESANT.

N the second century there
ruled in Ireland a great king.
His name was Eochad and he
was a brother of the famous
King Conn Of the Hundred Bat
ties.
Theirs was a proud house and
as each generation lived and
passed on, 1t was their hope to
leave a memory which would be
recalled by their descendants
with greater pride and glory.
But no member Of this clan was
= more distinguished than a woman
who was a direct descendant Of
these noble kings. Indeed, in
Ireland no name Is more revered
or honored than is her name. Il
has been perpetuated by hundreds
OF loyal Irish men and women who
have named their children after
this good woman. Her name was
Bridget. This woman is some
times called the MARY of Ireland"
and is Familiarity known in history
as Saint Bridget.
Bridget'S father was the Prince
of Ulster. It was little thought
when this girl baby came to bless
his home that she would grow up
to be a great woman. Indeed, in
those days-for 1t is thought that
Bridget was born about the year
453-there was little opportunity
for a woman to gain fame except
through being the wife of a great
king or a brave soldier.
At this time also lived the
greatest saint Of Ireland, the pious
Saint Patrick, whose name goes
hand in hand with the history Of
Ireland of that day. And since the
little Bridget early showed a dis
position for piety and religious
fervor, it Is thought that the good
man became interested in her.
Many of her biographers record
the interesting fact that she was
baptized by him.
On account Of her devotion to
her faith, Bridget refused to
marry. She chose a life of serv-
ice for the betterment Of her
fellowmen and women.
