Harmless Teasing by Bridal Attend
ants 10 q Feature Of tho AZ.
CHAN Wedding Ceremony.

The ceremony Of the mirror, is per.
haps, the oldest custom In connection
with the Afghan wedding ceremony.
A mirror is placed before the bride,
and the bridegroom Is asked to sit at
the brides left. A shawl Is held over
them, and the bride unveils and looks
In the mirror. Husband and wife sec
each others face for the first time.
It Is their first real meeting, says k
bal Ali Shah, in Asia magazine. The
bride is shy and does not open her
eyes, and the bridesmaids and 9TH
ers chaff her freely.
An engraved silver bowl il, then
brought, with a little sherbet and q
plate Of white rice pudding. The
bridegroom drinks q little Of the sher.
bet and offers the bride sip. She
closes her lips tight, but force il
applied and 9 spoonful put into her
mouth; so also with the rice pudding.
{ A shower Of roses announces the term
ination Of this rite. When the BRIDE
groom attempts to rise, he finds he
Is held down to the floor; corner
Of his coat has been sewed to the car
pet. There Is q roar Of laughter.
The offender is found-probably q
younger sister Of the bride. She re-
fuses to undo the stitches unless q
gold coin is given to her. As soon
as this toll is paid, the bridegroom
calls his attendants to bring his shoes,
but one Of them Is missing. Some one
declares she knows who has the shoe.
It IL returned on payment Of two gold
coins, and the bridegroom Is freed
from his tormentors.

expected for several weeks. ii,
, Financial Needs Emphasized.
In his statement aled. Mr., Jewell
held that in regard to the fundamental
issues in the case. the carriers have
said nothing beyond declaring that
questions Of human rights and human
standards are irrelevant He declared
that the roads have. only emphasized
their financial needs without regard to
the equities in the case.
Mr.. Jewell declared that in a number
Of exhibits the employees have shown
such an appeal for sympathy to be un.
founded. In answer to the attack OF
the railroads upon the exhibits en-.
titled "fnadequacies of management
he quoted the Railway Age as estimat
ing that the transportation industry
needed $6,000,000,000 to put it abreast
of the times.
It would be fundamental injustice,
he said, If the board should grant a
reduction in the rates of pay because
Of the present financial embarrassm
Of the roads.
Needs Of Family Cited.
Mr.. JEWELS reply urged that unless
the needs of normal family are used
as the basis for establishing mini.
mum wage, the tendency would be to
discourage marriage or to make neces.
sary the labor of wives and young
children, or to bring about steady
deterioration of the health and moral
qualities Of families affected.
Continuing, he declared that "There
has been suggested no method of deter.
AAAAAA6 "AoI wage, ~ OO uSSU dS d
backing point, is just and reasonable,
except the method, of ascertaining
what wage is living wage, that is, is
sufficient to maintain the worker and
his family in health, "decency and
efficiency"
Rely on Board for Justice.
Referring to the alleged attempt of
the railroads to appeal to the law of
supply and demand, he declared sup
ply and demand mean the exercise of
force by both sides, whereas the whole
purpose Of the transportation act was
to obviate the use of force in railroad
disputes and to have such disputes de.
cided by the board on principles of
justice and equity"
After pointing out that the railroads
OR employees were never in favor of
the transportation act as it was enact.
ed, the reply added: "Now, obedient
to the law, they come before this
board, temporarily at least laying aside
their proven weapons and relying upon
the board for justice. Thus it is alb.
surd for the railroads to talk about
supply and demand, and to attack the
living wage nrincin1a az imnra IT ira h1o -

CHOOSING a

Nobody has yet advanced a good reason why the once
Of surrogate should be made a football of politics. Ihe
duties that a surrogate of a county has to perform are almost
sacred in character-at least they are as near sacred as any
thing can be that is not strictly religious. After the minister
and the undertaken usually comes the surrogate in settling
I'D the estate that the departed one has left behind.
We hear a great deal about the protection of the widows
and orphans. It is a favorite cry with a great many politicians
when thew want some pet scheme let alone, or when they
want to put something across. But the office of surrogate
is something that actually does concern the widows and or
phans in the most direct way. The surrogate is daily in
contact with them and 1t lies within his power to render
them the greatest assistance or to deliberately drive them
into the clutches of the vutures in the law that would
pluck the last penny from their victims.
There may be some argument in favor Of some poiti-
cal offices being the legitimate prey of the successful poiti-
a continuation in office of any man for any length of time,
but no such argument can be found in regard to the surro-
gate.
This office is at present occupied by a man who has
given most efficient service. He is one of the few officials
elected by the people who really takes his job seriously and
Ia TO be found at his desk every working hour during the
day. He is known as the friend of the unfortunate and by
his sympathetic guidance he has helped many a grief-bur-
iened widow through the requirements of the law in getting
what belongs to her.
Daniel w. Clayton, the present surrogate, is a Demo-
He is a candidate for re- election. He has served the people
Of this county faithfully and well. Democrat as he is, he
has almost the unanimous support of the people OF the south
ern end of the county, where he lives, where Republicanism
Is almost a religion. With Mr.. Clayton, however, politics
make no difference. 1t might make a difference, perhaps
for any other office, but when it comes to selecting a man to
fiji the office of surrogate, requiring as it does one of a GER
tain temperament and feeling, Mr.. Clayton has proven him
self worthy. He ought to be reelected.

To get industries to divide employ
ment among a great number of peo-

Public Support
To meet an unemployment prob
lem requires first the support of the
public. With this support it is easy
to devise schemes for providing en-
ployment enough to prevent actual
suffering.
on several occasions VIC have aug
mented the general campaign along
these lines by the establishment OF
camps where men are employed
cutting cordwood for fuel and in re-
claiming old furniture, shoes. cloth

usually to provide employment for
