W0MELSDORF-NORvELLO WEDDING sOLEMNIZED

beautiful wedding, but one restricted ot the intimate friends and relatives of the young couple. was soleinnized yester- day morning at II o'clock, when Miss Clara Davis Norvell became the bride of MT W. o. Womelsdorf of, Manchester. Ala. Miss Noryell is the daughter of Judge and Mrs. Peyton Norvell, and is best known as Miss "Tinny'' Norvell.
 It was home wedding, and the resi- dence was beautified for the occasion by profusion of American beauty roses. their vivid color making a gorgeous set ting for the youth ana beauty gathered to witness the wedding of one of the Bachelor Girls" The Bachelor Girls, 25 or 30 in number, attended the we'd ding, and in addition there were about % other friends. The ceremony took place in the drawing room of the resi- dence. The way was led into the room by the two sisters of the bride-Miss Kath- leen Norvell and Miss Pauline Norvell. both extremely pretty in white lingerie frocks. The bride entered with the bride groom. Her costume was pale gray-a travelling suit exquisitely tailored and showing especially well amid the bright color contrast of American beauty roses. Her chapeau was gray to match the gown and adorned with becoming gray plume. She carried bride roses
 Dr. L. C. Branscomb, pastor of the First Methodist church, was the officiating cler- gyman. An informal reception followed he taking of the vows. In the dining room, which was decorated with white American beauties, coffee and sandwiches were served. Assisting Mrs. Norvell as hostess were Mrs. w. c. Ward and Mrs. Henry Hiden, Jr., and Mrs. G. B. Me Cormack, Jr, two members of the Bach elor Girls club. Miss Pauline Lacey and Miss Maud Lacey of Jasper were among the out-of-town guests.
 Mir and Mrs Womelsdorf left yesterday at noon for a bridal trip to Memphis. They will make their home in Manches- ter, Ala, where he holds an important position with a large lumber company. A most of friends will regret that he takes his bride away from Birmingham, but will be glad, too, to know that she is not far distant.

EFFECTIVE ACTION
 FOR OLD SOLDIERS

Washington, April 27.-Senator Scott to- day in the Senate made an effective plea in behalf of a number of old soldiers In the absence of Senator McCumber, the West Virginia senator has charge of pen sion legislation. He had just put through one bill increasing the allowance of half a hundred men when his colleague, MT. Ellsns, moved the consideration of the railroad bill.
 "Oh, no.'' pleaded Mr. Scott. There is one more pension bill. It affects the in- terest of only few but it ought to be passed. These old fellows are dying at the rate of one every 12 minutes, and they have very little time to lose. Much of the legislation that we are pressing here is not nearly so important
 The plea accomplished it's purpose, and B0 more would-be pensioners were given a substantial boost in the way of legis- lation.
