The many friends over Cass coun

happy anniversaries in the future
STAR LIGHT MEASURED
Mrs. Catherine ' Perry, long time
resident of Cass county, observed the
passing; of her -eighty-sixth birthday
anniversary on Sunday at the home
of a daughter, Mrs. . Will Cook , at
Elmwood. ' ';1-.r
. While in past years Mrs. Perry
has spent the winter season with
her children in California,, this year
ehe desired to enjoy one of the old
time Nebraska winters that she. and
her husband, the late .Peter Perry,
bad withstood in the fifty-five years
that they had resided in this section.
In honor of the birthday there was
a fine dinner arranged at the Cook
home and at' which was gathered the
children of. Mrs. Perry residing in
this section of Nebraska as well as
the grandchildren and great grand
children. One of the features of the
dinner was the handsome birthday
cake that had been prepared by Mrs.
Forest Leonard of Mynard, a grand
daughter of Mrs. Perry.
, Airs. Perry has" nine children,
twenty-six grandchildren -and thirty
two great- grandchildren. "
'if The time was most delightfully
spent by the members of the family
in visiting with Mrs. Perry and en
joying the opportunity of observing
Chicago. Astronomy advanced
another step in setting the universe
to numbers. Prof. C. T. Elvey of the
University of Chicago announced he
had masured the intensit yof the
light emitted by the counter glow
or ''gegenschein," that patch of light
in the skyjwhich appears like faint
ly luminous mi3t. The measurement
was made at the university's Yerkes
observatory' at Williams Bay, 1 Wis.,
and the photo-electric cell, industry's
electric .-"eye," was used to trap and
translate the light's power.

The Nebraska Motor Transport as
sociation, of which Rea McMaken of
this city, is former president, has
not given up . its fight, against the
truck bill passed by the state legis
lature in 1930 and will ask a re
hearing by the supremo court on the
measure.
The bill passed by the 1931 legis
lature restricted the use of trucks
and greatly increased the license
fees. The truckers circulated refer
endum petitions asking that the pro
position be voted on by the people
of the state finally got into the couiTs
but' the merits of the bill have not
been decided.
The association has three reasons
for its objections to the bill: That it
is unenforcable; that the fees as
sessed are Inequitable in some in
stances and confiscatory in others.
and that the law is unconstitutional
in that It grants rights to one class
of citizens that it denies to others.
County treasurers in Nebraska will
collect fees in 1933 on the measure
as it passed the last session of the
state legislature.

Leaders of House
Threaten Arrests
to Obtain Quorum
Speaker Jolm N. Gamer Insists That
Enough Be Present Tuesday
for Business.
Washington, Dec. 22. The demo
cratic leadership of the house has de
cided to order the arrest of members
absent from next Tuesday's session
in the event that a quorum is not
present upon reconvening after the
Christinas holidays.
Because of the failure of the house
to establish a quorum today, which
is half of its membership. Speaker
Garner and Representative Rainey
(111.), the democratic leader, tonight
determined upon the move to compel
attendance.
Kenneth Romney, sergeant at
arms, was dirscted to serve warrants
on all absentee members, In the
event that half of the members are
not presnt at noon on Tuesday.
Passage of the annual supply bill
for the : interior department was
blocked today by Representative De
Priest (rep.. 111.),-the only Negro
member of congress, when the house
failed to establish a quorum, only
205 of tha present membership of
429 were present.
Warrants Prepared.
The democrats, ansious to expedite
the annual appropriation bills, had
expected to pass the interior bill and
send it to the senate. By De Triest's
maneuver, aimed at obtaining more
funds for Howard univrsity, a gov
ernment supported Negro college
here, thi3 was blocked.
Speaker Garner has insisted that
because of pressmg legislative busi
ness tb.3 house should have but three
instead of the usual 14 Christmas
holidays. A resolution was adopted
today to adjourn from Friday until
Tuesday, but the speaker considered
it doubtful if a quorum could be es
tablished tomorrow.
Romney tonight prepared warrants
for Speaker Garner to sign.
Longworth Once Arrested.
The warrant provides that "the
speaker of the house of representa
tives, by virtue of the power vested
by the house, hereby commands you
(the sergeant at arms) to execute the
said order of the house, by taking
into custody, and bringing to the bar
of the house said above members who
are so absent; hereof fail not, and
make due return in what manner
you execute these same."
The last time such a procedure
was resorted to was in the Seventy
first congress, at a night session, in
which the late Speaker Longworth
was arrested wlien a quorum was not
established.
Speaker Garner said tonight that
the democratic leadership was de
termined to carry on the business of
the house "regardless of the cus
tomary two weeks of holidays."

Happy Family
Gathering at the
Ernest Ah! Home
Grandfather's and Grandson's Birth
day Fall but One Day Apart
One 81, the Other 17.
From Friday's Daily
The farm home of Ernest N. Ahl,
of Glendale, wa3 the scene of a very
happy family gathering last Sunday,
when about thirty relatives assemb
bled under this hospitable roof to
celebrate tho birthday of Mr. Ahl's
third son, Wayne, 17 years old, and
the 81st birthday anniversary of the
host's father, Henry Ahl, of Louis
ville.
Mr. Ahl's birthday came on De
cember 1C, and Wayne's on the 17th,
so the party was arranged for Sun
day to make it possible for those who
live elsewhere to attend.
The party was planned by Mrs. Zoe
Haggard, who has been housekeeper
for Mr. Ahl fcr several years. She
was assisted by other members of
the family and the delicious three
course dinner was served by Floyd
Erickson, of Louisville, a relative of
the family, who is an expert along
this line.
The bill of fare was varied and al
though the depression i3 still felt In
this vicinity, there was no sign of it
at the dinner, which consisted strict
ly of home products and included two
roast geese, roast chicken with side
dishes of pork and beef, with many
other appetizing dishes. Mrs. Hag
gard was showered with compliments
upon the splendid meal she had pre
pared. "
The party was a surprise to the
honor guests, the father not even
knowing their destination when they
drove away from their Louisville
home, this adding a pleasant touch
to the enjoyable occasion. Because
of illness, some members of the fam
ily were unable to be present, but
most of them were present and the
absent one3 were greatly missed.
Decides Mr. and Mr3. Henry Ahl
and Floyd Erickson, those from
Louisville were Rev. and Mrs. R. D.
Murphree and two little sons, Billy
and Bob. Rev. Murphree, who is pas
tor cf the M. E. church here, made
a few remarks at the table and ex
pressed the sentiments of all in wish
ing the honor guests ' many more
happy birthdays attended by good
health, ' success and every blessing.
Others present besides the host and
sons, Wayne and Harry, and Mrs.
Haggard, were Mr. and Mrs. T. O.
Pollard and son, Gail, of Ashland;
Oliver Hennings, or Adams; Mr. and
Mrs,' Kjlmer Henningn and son,
Merle, of Avoca; Mr. and Mrs. Ray
mond Lohne3 and two children,
Merna Lee and Connie Ray, of Cedar
Creek; Mr. and Mrs. N. F. Hennings
and son Ernest, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde
Ahl and daughter, Merna Jean, Mr.
and Mrs. Harold Ahl and son, Don
ald, Mr. and Mrs. George Schroeder
and daughter, Loi3 Elaine, and How

dar Creek and Louisville. Louis

FAVORS STATE BEER BILL
Omaha. Rudolph Tesar, state rep
resentative of Omaha, Friday said
passage of a beer bill by the 1933
legislature is quite likely. He made
his announcement following receipt
of answers from forty-three of the
100 state representatives to whom
he sent a questionnaire.
"Thirteen representatives from
Douglas county are in favor of pass
age of a beer bill by the legisla
ture,' Tesar said. "In addition twenty-five
other representatives, in an
swers to my questionnaire, have de
clared in favor of beer legislation.
Only fivl representatives out of
those replying are opposed to liber
alizing our state dry law."
As to the legality of a beer bill
passed before the repeal of tho con
stitutional provision prohibiting the
sale and manufacture of intoxicat
ing liquor, Tesar said he was In
doubt.
