In thoughts sublime that pierce the
night like stars,
And with their mild persistence urge
mans search
To vaster issues.
Flowers In untold millions adorn
Christianity's affairs at Eastertide and
brighten American homes. Lilies
doubtless hold first place-"pure lilies
OF eternal peace" But many say:
Not lilies, cold and passionless and pure.
But gay, grave daffodils,
And deep-blue violets,
And hyacinths, whose sweet. exquisite
bells
Shake forth an unheard melody
To brighten saddened souls.
And arbutus, oh. arbutus!

in your mind for months. II your
business Is Matching baby chickens In
incubators, statement Of the date is
entirely superfuous in your case. If
you are interested commercially In
eggs, Easter means your busy time.
And so on. In this complex modern
civilization Easter day means lot
more to the everyday world than the
Festival Of the Resurrection.
But to the nonreligious NAN In the
street, to whom the recurrence of this
great religious festival means nothing
financially, Easter comes sometime in
the spring. His general impression Is
that 1t falls either In March or April,
sometimes In one and sometimes In
the other. And that's all he knows
about it until something occurs to
force April 20 upon his attention
This variability OF Easter was a
source of much, trouble In the world
for many centuries. Thus in A. d.
3S7 they had Easter in Gaul on March
81, In Italy on April Is and in Egypt
on April %.
The festival now known as Easter
was celebrated by the Jews as the
Passover, many centuries before the
birth of Jesus. 1t was unknown in
the early Christian centuries. Then a
difference as to the time Of celebration
arose between Christians of Hebrew
and of Gentle descent Under the
reckoning of the former Easter might
fall on any day of the week. The lat
ter wished Il to fall on Sunday. Thus
arose a dispute-one Of the most
noted in the history Of mankind.
The cause Of II was the irregulari-
ties of the time of full moon in refer
ence to the year. Finally the COM
bined wisdom of the churchmen and
astronomers and calendar-makers
settled upon this rule:
Easter shall be the first Sunday
after the 14th day of the moon which
happens on or next after March 81.
Some day this will likely be changed
and Easter made fixed day. A COM
mittee of the League of Nations Is
at work on a calendar for year of
thirteen months. This will fix Easter
and make the Fourth Of July, Memo
rial day and other fixed holidays fall
always on the same day of the week.
In the mean time Easter tables have
already been computed for more than
a century In the future. Under the
rule given Easter cannot fall before
March % or after April %. Its ear

In Washington thousands will gaze
with thrill on the Crown of Thorns
plant in the Smithsonian institution.
1t is cactus and thirty years Of care
have gone into its forming.
Jerusalem, to which thoughts natu-
rally turn at Eastertide, will see many
thousands of Christian pilgrims this
year, for the first time since the World
war put the Holy City In Christian
hands. They will find Jerusalem prac-
tically unchanged. 1t is to be pre-
served from modern improvements
Doubtless modern Jerusalem will
grow up beside and around the ancient
city, for the Jews hope to make 1t
the center of Jewish state. But,
says Gen. Ronald Storrs, British gov
ernor Of the province Of Judea:
There is an atmosphere In that city
that It takes years to appreciate, and
our struggle is for the intangible and
the imperishable. That Is what should
be reverenced. Jerusalem is a city of
a great soul; 1t has been in the past
and It is our hope that Jerusalem, bat
tered forty times in it's history, sur
rounded by the grand and austere hills
will be able to create its own future
from the wrecks II contemplates.
These pilgrims will, however. find
pure water in plenty, instead Of els
tern water so foul that outbreaks of
malaria and typhoid were common.
The British engineers have cleaned
and reconstructed Solomons pools,
ancient reservoirs to the south of
Bethlehem, and have brought good wa
ter to Jerusalem. There should be no
conflict between religion and science
and there probably is none. OF GER
tainty pure water is good for both
body and soul.
On the resurrection morning
Soul and body meet again;
No more sorrow, no more weeping.
No more pain.
On that happy Easter morning
All the graves their dead restore,
Father. sister, child and mother,
Meet once more.

CAB COMPANY is
SUED FOR $4,000
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry StrOpe
File Suits for Damages
Totalling $4,000.
STRUCK BY A TAXI

Damage suits totalling $4,000 were
filed in the circuit court sthis morning
by Harry Strope and his wife, Ida
Strope, against Frank Nelson, Phillip
W. Nelson and Floyd Nelson, doing
business under the name and style of
the Yellow Cab company, the cases
arising out of an automobile accident
which occurred just after midnight on
New Years eve last. The summons
and the complaints in the cases were
served on the defendants on Thurs
day and filed in the records of the
court this morning.
The complaint alleges that Mrs.
Strope was struck while crossing How
land avenue near Pearl street by a
taxi-cab operated by one of the en-
ployees of the company. It alleges
that she was proceeding with due dill
gence and that the cab was operated
without due regard for her safety,
maintaining that no warning was given.
Was Hurled to Pavement.
The complaint declares that Mrs.
Strope was hurled to the pavement,
receiving severe bruises and cuts;
some of these cuts were on her face
and have permanently disfgured her, it
is alleged; from other injuries re-
ceived, she was confined to her home
for several days, according to her
statement.
The suit brought by the wife asks
for $4,000 damages in settlement for
her injuries and for the suffering
which she has endured. The suit
brought by the husband asks for
$1,000 damages, claiming that the in
juries to his wife incapacitated her
for her household duties and there
by deprived him of her services and
companionship.
Attorneys Roy Stephenson and Clar-
ence j. Fisher filed the suits for the
plaintiffs.

Madison, Wis. Candidates whose
names are written in on the ballots at
the primary election must receive
three per cent of the vote cast for
president by the designated party be-
fore the candidates names can be GER
titled on the general election ballots,
the secretary of states Office has ruled
in new question which has been rais-
ed on elections.
The ruling was given to John H.
Nygaard. county clerk of Eau Claire
county, with reference to certifca-
tion of Democratic candidate for the
state assembly. It has been generally
assumed that since there was no Demo-
cratic candidate for governor on the
Democratic ticket two years ago, it
would be necessary Tor candidate to
receive only few votes for an office
to be the party nominee. The state
department held, however, that al
though the 5 per cent rules did not ape

None of the state Democratic candi-
dates are in danger of being eliminated

SECRET CELLAR
UNDER MOON DEN
Police on Third Trip to
Garage. Find 6-foot Hole
Dug There.
WARRANTS ARE ISSUED
Joseph Machiulis and Theodore
Wanted on Charge of
Unlawful Possession.

Joseph Machiulis and his brother,
Theodore, are wanted by the police co
answer the charges of unlawful pos
session of the still, moonshine, mash,
coils, cooler and other paraphernalla
found during a police raid Thursday
morning at 219 North Edward street.
The two men have been strangely
missing since the raid, but the police
have no doubt of their being eventu-
ally arrested because the property at
this corner of North Edward and
Slosson streets is owned by them.
Lived in Back Room.
Joseph Machiulis, although said to
have sold his store business, maintain
ed room in the building sleeping in
the back of the place, few feet from
the garage where the moon was dis
titled, and which at night must have
sent out a reek of sickly brew upon
the heavy air.
But last night the bed was empty.
Joseph did not sleep there, the police
say. Theodore Machiulis is also TAX
ing a needed vacation somewhere, for
the police cannot find him either.
Secret Cellar Found on Place.
After the elaborate find of Thurs
day morning, and the subsequent dis
covery in the corn field, the police
were yet not entirely satisfied. They
thought it possible that with so much
preparation for the. making of moon
shine, there might be secret place
Of storing it, to make it age.
Accordingly Thursday afternoon,
Sergeant Kramer and Secretary Meiss-
I.v h
mann, Watson and Callahan, made an
other trip. They were equipped with
picks and shovels this time, and they
set to work with more zeal than does
a day laborer. They pried about and
shoveled the earth around as if they
were digging for Captain Kidd's old
sea-chest.
In the garage shanty, which had
probably never been a garage" at all,
a secret cellar was found.
But alas, there was a drawback. In
the morning when the. first raid was
made, the police themselves had open
ed o hole in the starch board second
story and let the 900 gallons of mash
flow down. This rotten goo filled the
secret cellar. The smell of fermenta-
ton filled the air. Whether there was
anything beneath this mixture the po-
lice could not tell. But what would
this cellar be for, if not used as q
secret storage space?
This afternoon the officers are max
ing another trip, but this time they
will wear overalls and hip boots. They
will clear away the mash in the hole,
and see if there is anything under
meath.
Another feature discovered by them
was that an old well about six feet
from the garage, was used as an over
flow for the cooling system. Fly-tox
was used to keep the fly supply down,
another ''de luxe" feature.
The mash used was found to be
composed of oranges, lemons and rye
bread, showing that the moonshine
maker was feeding a bootlegger and
booze runner trade of 'some clarss,"
as the Englishman says, "some clarss,
not 'arff."
