One OF the most pleasant events OF
the season was the gathering of
friends at the home of Mr.. and Mrs
Clyde Richardson at 210 BrearIy st.
Madison, Wis.

sary OF their marriage which occurred
Feb. IA, 1900, at the home of Mrs.
richardson's parents, Mr. and Mrs.

Elder W. A. Mcdowell officiating.
Inc Richardson's came to Madison
cnree years ago and have made many
friends who showed their regard for
thls worthy couple by arranging a
surprise on this date and which was
carried out to the fullest. Words
taIled to express the joy of being re-
membered when Chas. Clark, a friend
OF the family, presented them with
several pieces of beautiful silverware
accompanied by the following re-
marks:
Dear friends Mr.. and Mrs. Rich
ardson. Because of the date, the oc-
cas1on and the festivities | am given
to understand that 25 years ago to-
day you were both endowed with a
spirit OF wisdom in choosing each 9TH
er as partners to complete the journ-
ey or life together. The road may not
always have been smooth, as the path
way OF life rarely is, and troubles may
have often assailed you, which we
trust were of short duration.
But by the spirit of loves co-opera-
ton you have steadily year by year,
and one by one, reached and passed
the oliftnriOo n1iIactonoc m, +bo rood
OF life until today you have reached
the 25th milestone of your pilgrimage
together. And as you look back along
the sunset path that you have trodden
we trust you see very little to regret.
And looking forward into the bright
sunshine of the future we hope that
nothing but love, happiness and con-
tentment await you.
And so we come as pilgrims wor-
Shipping at the shrine of welded bliss.
to offer our sincere and heartfelt con-
gratulations for the occasion of this
day, and to wish you health, wealth
and happiness in the future, and may
the happiest day of your past mar
ried life be the most unhappy one of
your future"

Good Friday
Probably it would be expedient, too,
to make remark at this time on the
observance of Good Friday. Without
going into detail historically permit
me to say that this day has always
been considered memorable day in
all Christian countries. In late years
many communities in our own coun-
try including even large cities like
Detroit, have put Good Friday on their
calandar as a holy day or part-holi-
day.
When President Harding died we
set aside a part of the day to mourn

utilities pasued while with bowed
heads we all, as citizens of this coun-
try, saw him laid to rest. The same

Wilson was buried. When a prominent
citizen or business man of our own
city passes away, all the town mourns
and all business is suspended for a
period to express our regard and SYM
pathy. Would it not be appropriate,
then, not to say anything of the re-
ligious aspect, to commemorate the
death of Our Lord, the founder of our
Christian religion? Some movement
might be set afoot to bring this about.
Let this be the start.-M. Haas.

White Man Killed Florence
Kane, Police Now Think.
Suspects Cleared

NEW YORK, June 5.-Three
strands of straight brown hair dis.
covered on the clothing OF Miss
Florence Kane, twenty -four-year-ol
stenographer found strangled in a
vacant lot near her home in Brook
lyn last Friday, today opened up a
new police theory that a white
man was the slayer.
The case against number OF
negro suspects was believed in some
quarters to have been weakened
by the failure of the authorities
to definitely link them to the
crime.
Doctor Alexander Gettler, city
toxicologisf, revealed the masculine
hair on the slain girls clothing.
The strands were different from the
Kane girls silky hair and not of
the negro type. Detectives believe
the hair was pulled from the head
of her attacker by Miss Kane.
Frank and John Cardello, broth
ers, failed to identify William
Brassfield, giant negro janitor, as
the man they had followed after
watching him accost women near
the murder scene. Neither could
the Cardellos identify Walter John
son, Of Jacksonville, Fla, who was
arrested for vagrancy in Brooklyn
when found acting strangely.
Brassfield, ex-conVict and asso-
ciate of Frank Kelly, nero SLAYER
of Katherine Mcdonald five years
ago, is held on a homicide charge
In connection with the dean Ok

to Study Possibilities

Fish studies, inaugurated by Sec
retary of Commerce Hoover with
general view to conservation and
restocking of the fast vanishing
sources of supply in American
waters, will be carried within the
shadow of the North Pole.
The Department of Commerce
announced today that Doctor Walter
Koelz, aquatic biologist of the Blu.
reau of Fisheries, would accom-
pany the Mcmillan arctic expedition
which will leave Wiscasset. Me-,
June 81, for Greenland, Baffin
Island and Ellsmere Island.
Officials anticipated that many
varieties of food fish will be dis
covered in the big lakes which are
reported to exist in the interior of
the islands. 1t may be found prac-
ticable to transplant number OF
specimens to American waters for
stocking purposes.
"South Sea Islands are supposed
to afford a life of magnificent ease
in contrast with the Arctic, since
there a family can live on fruit
the year around" the Department
said.
"Baffin Island Eskimos, however,
are said 20 nave improved Oh LHLS

build their igloos on the lakes, cut
Q hole through the parlor floor
and fish for their dinner.
Rivers and lakes Of the island

The Macmillan expedition viii
make its base Etah, Greenland. the
nearest inhabited spot to the north

Alaska and the north pole, Com
mander Macmillan with the aid of
the navy planes, plans to make
reconnaissance flights over other
unknown regions which the eye of
man has never yet beheld," the
Department said.
These regions include the ice
cap of Greenland, 50O,O 900 square
miles in area; Baffin Island, the
third largest island in the world
in the interior OF which Eskimos

This is the beginning of the last week of the story of Aladdin or the Magic Lamp" If you have been saving these paper dolls you will soon have the whole set with which to act out the famous story.
 
 When Aladdin heard that the Sul- tan had consented 10 his marriage with the princess he could hardly contain his joy. He commanded the lamp genie to bring him the most magnificent clothes he could, also a handsome horse for him to ride upon. e..
 The sultan was so impressed by the noble looking young man that he would have gladly married him to his daughter immediately, but Aladdin said, T must first build a castle where we may live. For this purpose beg you to give me plot of ground"
 Then Aladdin commanded the genie of the lamp to build him a castle twice as large and twice as handsome as the sultan's and im- mediately it was done.
 (Here is the magic lamp and its wonderful genie. Color them grey, shading from very dark grey at the head of ths genie to a very light grey for the lamp).

SPIRIT OF HELP !. STARTS CHURCH
Two Negroes Organize House Of
 ., Worship

Minneapolis, Minn., June IS R - About one year ago two negroes. one cook and the other a waiter. both old and honored employes of q railroad operating trains between Minneapolis and Chicago, sat down in the dining car for a chat between meals. Gu fof the conversation has grown church project, described by k. II. Rasmussen, executive sec- retary, Minnesota Baptist conyen- ton. as "a unique and most worthy movement"
 The men are F. L. Fuller, pastor, and c. L. Jenkins, deacon, of St. Anthony's Baptist church, one of the youngest but one of the best patronszed of the local negro churches. Fuller, to make the plan possible, sold his home in a good residence section of Minneapolis and bought a house in a less desirable location, part of which is being used as a church.
 Fuller told Rasmussen that "it just happened that Jenkins and I had the same idea at the same time, to get Into something to help out our people" Fuller. a native of Iowa, said in his travels he had mo- ticed that the members of his race who left the south to settle else where, seemed to lack apprecia- ton of what the white man is do- ing for them."
 The main object of the project is not so much to cater to those who already have religion and appreciate their surroundings, as it is to guide the, newcomers from the south to adjust themselves to their northern abodes.
 Fuller and Jenkins, so far as pos- sible, are working under the guid- ance Of state Baptist headquarters. Other negro churches have indorsed the project.
