WEALTHY WOMEN
 ENTER CANNERIES IN WISCONSIN

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 8.-Wives and daughters of wealthy citizens in the Wisconsin pea. canning districts have entered the canneries to aid the labor situation. On Saturday they line up for their pay envelopes and re- ceive a minimum wage for their ten hours work.
 Forty per cent. of the peas canned in the United States are put up in Wisconsin plants.
 Earlier in the season pea packers expressed grave fears of a serious la Dor shortage and pointed to the Food Administrations request for all the peas possible.
 George P. Hambrecht, labor com missioner, after a conference with Food Administrator Hoover, sent la bor commission employees into all homes and obtained pledges from wo- men in all walks of life to work in the csnneries if called upon.
 Then a conference was arranged with the packers, who were informed that they would be provided with helr l Il lIlSy peLIu lIlS WOI1eu a IllulLluII wage, established a ten-hour working day except in an emergency and ther not more than twelve hours, and made proper sanitary arrangements. The packers signed an agreement the women who had pledged their ser. vices were called on, the response wa! most satisfactory and the cannerie' now are operating with full force.

 WEDS CLERGYMAN

Washington, Aug. S-The White House was the scene today of a war wedding the first of its kind in the famous Blue Room. Miss Alice Will son, niece of the President, and the Rev.

 In contrast with some of the White House wedding only small company of relatives and one or two intimates friends were in attendance at this one, which was as simple as it could be made. Dr. McElroy, standing in the bay window of the Blue Room, received the bride and bridegroom Mrs. Martin Crook of | Spartanburg, s. C., sister of the bride groom, was the brides only attend ant, and Prof. R. M. Turnbull of Un- | ion Theological Seminary, Richmond, was best man. The bride, escorted by her father, entered the Blue Room from the main corridor and MT. Nc Elroy and Prof. Turnbull entered from the Red Room.
 Immediately following the cere- mony a dinner was served in the state dining room with a good sized wedding cake plainly made in ac- I, cordance with Food Administration | instructions. Later in the evening Mr. and Mrs. McElroy left the White House for a short honeymoon which they will spend in the mountains o1 | Virginia, going later to White Sul- 1 phur Springs, where MT. McElroy is pastor of the Presbyterian church
 Those who witnessed the ceremony were the President and Mrs. Wilson MT. and Mrs. Joseph Wilson, parents of the bride, Mrs. l. s. McElroy mother of the bridegroom, Miss Mar garet Wilson, daughter of the Presi
 dent, MT. and Mrs. Louis Bryant, Mis-: Elizabeth Perkins of Muncie, Ind, { roommate of the bride at Ward

SHAKESPEARE's WIFE,

Today is the anniversary of the death of Mrs. Anne Shakespeare, wife of the Bard of Avon, who breathed her last at Stratford- -on-Avon, Aug. 6, 1923 having survived her husband by more than seven years.
 There is reason to believe that Shakespeare's domestic life was not happy, and that his entrance into the married state was not altogether vol untary on his part. Shakespeare was barely nineteen years old when he took Anne Hathaway as his lawful welded spouse. The bride, eight years his senior, was the daughter of a weTl-to-do yeoman at the neighbor- ing hamlet of Shottery. At that time Anne had reached the age which n those days brought upon her the re- proach of being an "o1d maid" She soon presented her boy husband with a daughter, and subsequently, gave
 birth to twins a boy and a girl, and
 the happy-go-lucky Will Shakespeare was brought to the realization that, 1 for the head of a family, life is a very serious proposition.
 The circumstances surrounding their
 marriage, and the disparity in their ages, probably made Shakespeare
 and his wife poorly mated pair and
 not altogether congenia1 This much
 is suggested by Shakespeare's will, in
 whic hhis wife is mentioned only in a | few interlised words, apparently add l ed as an afterthought. In the. body
 of the will bequests were made to his | two daughters Judith and Susanna, the former being later Mrs. Quincy and the latter becoming Mrs. Hall; | to his sister, Joan Hart, and her
 three sons, and to a considerable number of friends and acquaintances. III the body of the will there was no
 mention whatever of Mrs. Shakes peare; but in an interlined bequest
 he wrote: 1T give unto my wife my 1 second-best bed, with the furni- ture."
 It would seem from this that when l Shakespeare wrote his will he forgot l that he had wife, although 1t would seem that the mentioan of his daugh-
 ters might have recalled it to his
 memory, but that her existence was | afterward brought to his attention | and the interlined bequest was added. By law, however, Mrs. Shakespeare | inherited a third of her husbands s
 estate, so she was not left destitute. | Anne Shakespeare was buried in 1 Stratford Church.

 But if we realized how much beau of form depended on the health and beauty of the feet perhaps there would be fewer cases of feet partly crippled by broken arches and other lvoidable ailments.
 Sometimes an ef1ment of the foot not noticed because there Is no pain lntil the trouble reaches an advano- sd stage, and also, too, perhaps, be- cause of the fact that women have accustomed themselves to the pain of wearing tight, uncomfortable but fash enable shoes, and are inclined to let slip any irritation of the feet, However, no woman can have a graceful carriage unless she Is sup ported by feet that are strong and In perfect, healthy condition Shoes too light or too loose make for all sort of 'eet that comes to the busy housewife who stands most of the day Is not a gma1l temporary matter, but requires immediate attention ana care before develops into a permanent irrita- ion

 Massage the feet by moving the hands upward from the toes, one after the other. This drives the blood up- ward. The feet should be raised from the ground during massage, and not rested on any object. Then move the hand from side to side, beginning with the toes and working outward. A good liniment for the feet is: 10 drops of strong solution of am monfa
 20 drops of turpentine, 1 1 ounce of nnseed oil. This can be massaged into the feet and will soothe them and keep the
 skin soft without beng too tender. The each mornng, or if a warm bath is
