PRESIDENT WILSON WEEDS

Washington Woodrow
+ Wilson and Mrs. Edith Bolling-Galt
were married at $3.50 this evening.
There was very simple ceremony at
! the brides home, with less than 80
guests, virtually all of whom were
/ relatives. The couple left soon after
ward on their honeymoon to Hot
Springs, Va.
The president dined as usual at the
White House, and at O'Clock, with
his daughters, drove to the brides
home, mile away. There was cold
rain all day which cleared up at sun
set, and the evening was cool and
pleasant. The crowd about the brides
home was held by the police. The
ceremony was without music Meth
err the army or navy, or the diplo-
matte corps was represented, and 1t
was purely a home wedding The
rooms were tastefully decorated with
flowers. At the hour of the ceremony
the president and his bride appeared
at the head of the staircase, which
was decorated with ferns, asparagus
and roses. Rev. Herbert Scott Smith,
rector of ST. Margaret's Episcopal
church. was waiting underneath the
canopy, and with him the presidents
pastor, Rev. James H. Taylor, of the
Central Presbyterian church. The
brides mother gave her away.
Indians Admire Bride
The Indians of the nation take
great pride in the fact that the bride
is direct descendant of Pocohantas,
the Indian princess of Virginia, and
from many of the Indian agencies and
reservations of the west congratula-
tory kilograms and messages of good
will were sent to the bridal party in
most instances being directed to ''The
Great White Squaw'

stated in his letter, and the COM
mittee, when the bill was under
consideration, so changed it
when it came from the house
that the postmaster general
would be left with the discretion
he had heretofore had, but the
house was insistent on its part,
and added, in order to force the
department to pay the carriers
the maximum amount of $1,000,
provision to that effect, and

The postmaster general de-
tends himself in the position he

Theories About Rainfall.

While we in this country have been
suffering for some years from a lack
OF rain. some parts of Europe appear,
according to statistics, to be getting
more rain every year.
Observations at the Observatory of
Paris show that from 1904 to 1924 the
average yearly rainfall was 502 MILL
meters ian inch is about rs millime-
ters). In the next twenty years the
average was 507: then from 1S45 to
1872 there was an increase to SIS: In
the next twenty years it was 663, and
In the last nineteen years the average
has grown to 5s4 millimeters-about
23k inches.
The commonest theory to account
for this is that the smoke and dust
rising from large city favor the
condensation of moisture. But this
theory runs counter to the experience

And In some of the mountainous re.

tion reaching Miami yesterday
ii.m United States Senator M
than T. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan de
clared in his communication that
this was not the only locality al
fected by the "retrenchment
policy of the postmaster general
and stated that several other
citizens throughout Florida had
petitioned him with a view oil
getting action that would rescind
the action that resulted in cutting
off of rural route carrier where
the people believe there is suffi-
cient distribution OF United
States mail for two.
Senator Bryan sent the COM
munication to H. Prom, whose
name appeared first on the petit
ton and outlined the policy OF
the postoffice department in con-
solidating in order that the APP
preparation for this department
would not be burdened with de
fcit of from SIS 100000 to $780,
100000 as was the case. last year
In order to do this. Senator Bry-
an stated the postmaster general
appeared before the last session
of congress and asked that the
salaries of rural route carriers be
left at his discretion, but the
congress voted in favor of putting
the salary at ST 200 to all rural
carriers on standard routes.
The postmaster general de-
clared if he carried out his rule
then he would have to cut of
several rural routes to meet the
appropriation, which was not
boosted beyond that of last
year. The senator explained that
this was the result of the cutting
off of a rural route carrier from
this district.
