ASKS MORE NAVY ENGINEERS
Rear Admiral Stanford Wants Strength
of Corps Doubled.

Washington. Dec. 27.--Increase Of
the navy corps of civil engineers
to more than double its present
strength is recommended in the annual
report of Rear Admiral II. r. Stan
ford, chief Of the Bureau Of Yards and
Docks. The report says additions to
the navy building programme have pro
vided more work than can be handled
by the forty engineers now in the
corps and suggests that forty to sixty
more be added at the rate of per cent
a year.
Liberalization of the present law
governing promotion of assistant civil
engineers is advocated. Promotion
now is by vacancy only.

held at the spacious farm home of Mr..

daughter, Blanche Lillian Wheeler, be-
came the bride of Arthur B. Green,
son of Mrs. Harry Green of the town

30 Promise Me-" supremely sung by
the brides cousin, Mrs. Bishop, was
taken up by the melodious strains of
Mendelssohn' wedding march, played
by Miss Emma Bates, announced that
the eventful hour had arrived. The
bride, beautifully arrayed in white
crepe de CHEN over white silk with
pearl trimmings and carrying white
roses, accompanied by her cousin, Miss
Ruth Taylor, as maid of honor, arrayed
in yellow satin and carrying yellow
roses, were vision of loneliness. The
groom wore the conventional black and
was assisted by his brother Harold.

words that united the happy couple be-
meath canopy of evergreens, flowers,
and background of potted plants.

ing the happy couple left on short
