May Build Pharmacy Balding At University The American pharmaceutical association is considering the establishment of a building to be used as a- library, museum, and research laboratory, it was announced today by the Association of Commerce. Due to the fact that a school of pharmacy is now conducted here by the state it is believed that the buildinb may be erected on the university campus.

Prexy Prefers Microscop ic Studies to Retired Life in Easy Chair Fingerprint Clue Draws Attack Of Defense Today By the Associated Press SOMERVILLE, N. J. The small Visiting card which the state has made one of the cornerstones of its case in the llall-Mfils murder trial was made the target of defense fire again today. It is on this tiny card that the prosecution is largely depending to prove its contention that Willis Stevens, one of the, three defendants, was at the scene of the slaying of the Rev. Edward W.

Hall, New Brunswick church pastor, and Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills, choir singer in his choir, on a dark night at a deserted farm outside New Brunswick more than four years ago. On trial with Willie Stevens are his sister, Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, widow of the slain minister, and Henry Stevens, another brother.

Herbert Mayer, reporter for the New York Daily Mirror, resumed the witness stand for cross-examination a3 to the movements of the card just prior to the time it was photographed in the office of bis newspaper after having been taken from this state by one of the police investigators of the double slaying. Two fingerprint experts who were present during the photographing in the newspaper office previously have testified that the card, found at the scene of the crime, bore the imprint of Willie Stevens left index finger.

IE social committe of the Madison Labor Temple association, with the co-operation of local organizations, is preparing for the fourth annual Christmas tree party to be held at the Labor temple for the children of the trade union movement of the city. The committee cantake care of 1,000 children. Members of the various local unions desiring to attend the annual New Years party must secure invitations from the committee. Uninon members are urged to attend the two classes that are being conducted at the Labor Temple Tuesday and Thursday nights under the supervision of the educational committee of the Madison Federation of Labor. These courses are free.

The members of the International Ladies Garment Workers union, who are on strike in New York city are fighting a real battle to prevent a backward step being made in the clothing industry of that city. This group of workers has been successful in bringing about a decent standard of conditions in the clothing factories and ha3 helped to abolish the sweatshop system that prevailed throughout New York in 1910. In the process of develop-n nt in the cloak industry it ap-ptrs that the jobbers have acquired control to the extent that they are trying to tell the manufacturers what conditions the employes shall work under and manufacturers apparently have accepted the mandate for the open shop handed down by the jobbers and to the workers. This mandate in simple terms means the reverting to sweatshop conditions of 1910, and rightly they refuse to return to those deplorable conditions. The Chicago Federation of Labor at its last meeting passed resolutions protesting the action of the public officials in their program of reception of Queen Marie.

The federation is also co-operating with the International Labor Defense, which represents some 30,000, in sending a large delegation to meet Queen Marie at the station with a petition protesting the action of the Rumanian government in the persecution of the workers and farmers of that country. Editors of some 30 labor papers and international magazines placed in the hands of Gov. Fuller of Massachusetts, just before his departure for Europe, a letter requesting the removal of Judge Thayer of Worcester from the bench for the attitude he has taken all through the Sacco-Vanzetti trial, also asking a new trial. When informed of this action Judge Thayer stated he had nothing to say. Recently the British Trade Union congress protested the provocative attitude adopted by the government in the bombardment of the defenseless city of Wahnsien, China.

An obscure beauty, Maudine rose to fame over night when she captured the election here in which many pretty co-eds were nominated and amid much corruption in voting. Who is Maudine? Shes the prize cow in the Agriculture college dairy barns. The campus still is buzzing with the scandal which almost defeated Maudine. There were 3,500 more ballots than could legally have been cast in the boxes when the election closed. And none of these was cast for the friend of the common peepul, Maudine.

Meanwhile it may be said that Maudine is contended with the outcome. For contented cows give large quantities of milk, and Maudine lives up to her regular schedule of 743.3 pounds, containing 28.7 pounds of butter-fat, each week. The farm candidate, according to the consensus, rode into office upon the unpopularity of the Law school. Junior College Plan Outlined by Meiklejohn Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn, professor of psychology and philosophy at the University of Wisconsin, outlined preliminary plans for an experimental college within the university at the City club, Milwaukee, Thursday night.

Although no definite announcement has yet been made. Dr. Meiklejohn, who before coming to Wisconsin was president of Amherst college, intimated that he probably would preside over the faculty of the college. Present plans, he said, provide for establishing the experiment by the fall semester of 1927. The experimental college has already been approved by the faculty of the university and the board of regents has given it3 approval.

Dr. Meiklejohn plans to deviate widely from the beaten path of educational precedent. We will not give instruction to the 200 students by courses in chemistry, mathematics, geography and philosophy the basis Upon which our present system is founded, he declared. Instead I would conduct the program along entirely different lines studying civilzations of ancient and modern times. Ancient If my plans ywere are eceptedd I If my plans are accepted I would have the freshman in the college study the ancient Greek civilzation, while the sophomores woud be confined to the civilization of the nineteenth century.

The study of evilization would not entail merely a survey of history but would include all the elements of each civilization, Dr. Meiklejohn declared. Each peroid had it sown sciences, its own history and religion. These dements would not he taught independently but would be given acocdring to the influence each exerted upon the civilization of the time. Sophomores, Dr.

Meiklejohn said, should be permitted to take a major subject in the university under the new system. As Dr. Meiklejohn visualizes the faculty will be maintained as an instructional staff. Both teacehrs and new venture in education separate students will live in the dormitories in aclose relationship. The faculty he said, ought to be one that can work together intellectually from the same point of view'.

This will produce intellectual solidarity, one of the fundamentals lacking under the modern educational system, he declared. Dr. Carr Offers Hints on Health Now that an interruption to Madisons early winter weather has thawed ice end snow, here are a few health hints for the winter which Dr. A. M.

Carr, city health commissioner, thinks will keep the winter illness causalties down; Too much clothinrj is as bad as too little. An outdoor life now may prevent a sickroom later. Bad teeth and tonsils, properly treated now, will prevent toothache, tonsilitis and rheumatism this winter. Avoid hot and poorly-ventilated places; they arehotbeds of colds. One cannot always avoid colds but one can almost always prevent pneumonia by treating colds as a disease and hot as a joke.

Give yourself enough rest and sleep, good fod and fresh air. Incredible! Is Comment Of Bishop Manning On Divorce Case IS RELEASED 9 By the Associated Tress NEW YORK Annulment of the marriage of the Duke of Marlborough to Consuelo Vanderbilt by the Roman Catholic diocesan court at South Wark, England, and confirmation of this decree by the Holy Rota Tribunal in Rome caused considerable comment in church circles in New York today. The Duke of Marlborough and Miss Vanderbilt were married in St. Thomas Episcopal church in New York in November, 1895. They had been confirmed and baptized in the Episcopal faith.

The duchess divorced Marlborough in an English civil court in 1920. Both were married again, the Duchess to Jacques Balsan of Paris and the latter to Miss Gladys Deacon of Boston. When the Duke and Miss Deacon were married in Paris in 1921 a Presbyterian officiated. The Duke In making his plea for annulment said he desired to embrace the Catholic faith. Bishop Manning of the Episcopal diocese in New York said: It seems incredible to me, that the Roman Catholic church which takes so strong a position against divorce should show such discrimination in favor of the Duke of Marl-horough.

On the other hand Monsignor La-velle, rector of St. Patricks Cathedral referred to the statement of an unidentified Roman Catholic authority in England that nothing more can be done for. a duke than for a tramp so far as the Catholic church is concerned. Monsignor Lavclle said the church did not do the sort of thiiig the duke desired unless there was really just cause. There is no favoritism, the monsignor added.

What the reasons were for granting the decree I do not know. But we can be perfectly sure they were reasons found to be within the law. The duke has been attending the Roman Catholic church at Oxford. The Rev. Wilfred Parsons, editor of the Catholic Weekly Magazine America, said that since the Duke had been divorced and remarried, he could not embrace the Catholic faith unless he renounced his present wife if his first marriage should prove to be valid, lie proved that bis first marriage was invalid.

Game Tickets Sold at a Loss The demand for Wisconsin-Iowa football game tickets decreased today due to the rain and as a result ticket Scalrvtg was reduced to the minimum, according to federal agents on duty in the city for the internal revenue department. Several agents in the city this morning declared that tickets to the game were slling at less than the actual cost tlje owners not desiring to take a chance on the weather. It was reported by one agent that one man coming here for the game sold his tiket at a loss last night after reading the weather Teport forcasting rain today.

John Gruel. Jefferson, was elected sheriff of Jefferson county at the November election. She was se lected to succeed her husband, whom she will undoubtedly appoint as her undersheriff. Their float plastered with Daily Cardinal editorials, statements of their platform in the campaign for Bigger and Better Calves and Smoking Women, and posters boost-ing Antoinette for President, Sigma Pi fraternity this morning captured first place in the annual university Ilobo Parade. Vudgar Bookmen, Phi Kappa Sigmas, chanting the song of their Russian prototypes, and driven to their task of tugging a boat laden w'ith volumes of history, Latin, and Greek, were awarded second place, while Delta Pi Epsilon, with their tandem-bicycle, which they declared to be the Flapper Chariot of 1889, gained third.

In the long-beard contest, Neal Nicholson, 30, was awarded first prize, William Nicjiol, '30, second, and LeRoy Nohling, 30, third. -f tofinIfetteAai Li i A Kennedy's Homecoming Special Ice Cream jj ft At Dealers i 1 1 lit MeE Sunday Dinner Be Luxe Served from 12 :00 Noon to 8 :00 P. M. In the past the lawyers have always elected their candidate, because they voted as a unit. Miss Ormsby was nominated easily, but her name was left off the ballot because she want listed in the student directory.

Her followers wrote in her name, however. The lawyers, in their zeal to win, had 1,090 fake ballots printed, rivals charg. Then the journalism students rushed to their print shop and turned out 2,000 fake tickets, so reports go. Another faction managed, rumor says, to steal 1,500 regulation ballots and fill them out for the.r girl. A1 the illegal ballots were thrown out.

Maudine drew 500 votes. The cow may be queen of the barnyard but the dignity of Ohio State university cant countenance the throne being moved to the nivf'rsitv officials ruled today.

The result of years of study and those of various collaborators who have from time to time worked with him is to furnish the beginnings of an inventory of the fundamental food supply for the living beings of inland lakes. There is in the water a large standing crop of organic matter outside of the plankton, Dr. Birge said, and this is ordinarily several times and often many times greater than that in the plankton, so far as this can be removed from the water this dissolved organic matter is apparently as well suited for food as is the organic matter of the plankton. The main groups of eaters in the plankton are the Crustacea and the rotifers, (classes of minute, usually microscopic animals.) Their dry organic matter constitutes about six percent of the total organic matter of the plankton. There would seem therefore to be so much organic matter in a particulate form as to constitute a sufficient food supply for the eaters.

On the other hand, the dissolved organic matter of Jake water, if it i3 to be judged by amount and chemical composition, constitutes a potential food supply several times as large as that offered by the plankton. Whether it can be actually utilized as food under any conditions is a matter still waiting for investigation. Our ignorance is still complete both as to the general aspects pftd the-innumerable detail of this central problem in the nutrition of fresh plankton. Dr. Birges work, important both from practical and theoretical standpoints, is keeping Wisconsin the lead among communities which have taken any active part in the study of their lakes.

His experiments are being carried on alost wholly with methods and apparatus devised in Wisconsin. Other states and other countries are modeling lake studies after Dr. Birges methods. WIBA Dinner Music is Praised 'A program of splendid musical selections was broadcast from WIBA, The Capital Times and Strand theater radio station, Friday night for the dinner-hour concert, with Francis Slightam, tenor, Helen Berg, and Stanley Sadler, as the contributing artists. Friday nights program has brought considerable favorable comment among the radio-listeners, who compliment him on the quality and tone of his voice.

Helen Berg, violinist, played a group of selections, and was accompanied by Helen Seifert. Anthony Donoan, accompanied Mr. Slightam. Several groups of piano selections were played by Mr. Sadler.

Ask City Entertain U. W. Foreign Students A request that Madison residents entertain the 103 foreign students now attending the university was issued today by the Association of Commerce.

TOCOCK, Proprietor. Celery That emeritus does not imply future inactivity or a cessation of contribution to world problems is emphasized by the research work being carried on daily by Dr. E. A. Birge, president emeritus of the University of Wisconsin and biologist.

Through the experiments and research. Dr. Birge hopes to bring about greater utilization, of the economic possibilities in fresh water lakes, with his experiments centering about the Madison lakes. He prefers his studies to a retired life in an easy chair. If an investigator should visit his laboratory up on the top floor of the Biology building, he might at first glance conclude that he plays solitaire.

A closer examination of the cards which Dr. Birge is running through would show that they bear neatly-written cabalistic signs far more puzzling than playing cards. The cards, dozens of them, contain the notes which summarize Dr. Birges 34th summer of research into the physics, chemistry and biology of Wisconsin lakes. In complexity.

Dr. Birge stated in one of hi3 reports on his analyses of lake water: the water of a lake is fairly comparable to the blood of one of the higher animals. By straining wrater from Lake Mendota through a fine silk net, running it through a centrifuge, and evaporating it in a vacuum pan, Dr. Birge and his assistants have found that the lake maintains a standing crop of organic matter amounting to nearly fifteen parts per million of water. Nitrogen, and the complex organic combinations of carbon and other elements the carbohydrates and fats all have been determined quantitively in hundreds of samples of lake water.

But lake water contains more than chemicals. Dr. Birges studies show it to he teeming with microscopic life. The organic materials exist in several forms as plankton organisms (tiny plants and animals) as organic debri, as colloids, and as true solutions. In organic matter the fresh water lakes are far ahead of the oceans, which contain from one to three Deposed Bishop Will Speak Here Dr.
