CAPITAL CHERRY TREES BLOSSOM
Washington's Beauty Spot Will
 Be in Full Bloom

Washington. April 5.-lP,-Cherry blossoms, egg rolling on the White House lawn, and the usual colorful Easter parade will characterize the capitals Easter weekend this year.
 Mother Nature appears to be con- nlving to help along the festivities by sending the famous Japanese cherry trees into full bloom two weeks ahead of time. Usually due about April 15. park officials say the blossoms are very well ad- Nanced and should be out in full glory on Easter to lend their soft tints to the formal parade along the Potomac river banks.
 Populated diplomats frock coat ed congressman and gold-braided officers of the army and navy will join 1hrongs of visitors in the an- nual Easter parade to the churches. Most government officials will be on hand to enjoy the cherry blos- sons and look over the White House fence at the annual egg rolling fete on the presidents lawn.
 Dr. Jason Noble Pierce, pastor of the First Congregational church, which is attended by the chief executive and his family, has an- nounced there will be three serv- ices Easteu Sunday. Special services will be held at the Washington Cathedral on Mt. St, Albans, at Walter Reed hospital. and in vir- tually all of the churches.

 "The government, under which Thomas A. Edison was born,' t tdds. 'and ill which for more than . generation he has been an cduca- cational institution of the first rank. by arousing in the minds of young men some sense of the limitless Possibilities of science when de- voted to the service of man. has at Ao time seen fit to formally honor this one individual who has such q firm hold on the popular imagina- ffon as to force men to watch what he is doing and hear what he is 0aying.'
 Value Of Inventions
 Rep. Randolph Perkins of New Jersey. chairman of the house coin ege committee. in commenting the measure to the members said that Edison had applied for 1928 pat DOtS and that the monetary value bf the industries based upon his in Vantions, or which had been mate eially stimulated by his inventions, Eas estimated at $15,599, 900, ,o0o.

OBJECTION IS VOICED
N!~>ionar, society Against Return of \anc. Ann Miller. Indian Princess,

Seattle, Wash. April , tPp-objec- ton to the return to the United states of the former Maraiah of h. dore and his bride. formerly Nancy Ann Miller of Seattle. was voiced here today by the Womens Home Missionary society of the Trinity Methodist Episcopal church.
 The couples alleged purpose to disseminate the Hindu religion in the United States was objected to by the society. The society will ask the Women's Foreign Missionary so- clety 10 start a nation wide move ment to prevent the pairs contem- plated reentering Of the United States.
 We object 10 the return of the former Miss Miller and her Hindu husband to the United States be- cause they do not stand for the principles of Christianity and be- cause they will come here to spread their belief throughout q Christian nation,' the president of the society explained.
 Our society is working hard 10 further 1hc interests of Christianity throughout the world and most ser iously objects to the encroachment on it's work by a foreign religion"
 The former Seattle girl. the third wife of Tuko Jnrao Holkar, was a Christian until shortly before her marriage. Conversion to the Hindu religion was one of many obstacles she had to overcome before her marriage could be performed in India.
