WANT GIRLS FOR
VAUDEVILLE ACT
Having Supplied Man Model
And Woman Sleuth, Blu
reau Seeks Actresses
ANOTHER APPEAL is
MADE FOR CITYS IDLE

Having supplied an artist with
male model for Greek god and a
detective bureau with woman
sleuth, the Public Employment Blu
reau. located in the old City Hall,
Sixth and Market streets, is now
combing its lists to find several girls
TO fill jobs as actresses in a vaude-
Vile sketch.
Call for fair maids OF histrionic
talent and ambitions for the stage
was received this morning by Leo J.
Emmons, who is in charge of the
bureau in the absence of Miss Kath-
crime Smith, who has been sent to
Indiana by the United States Depart
ment Of Labor to straighten out
some kinks in the unemployment
situation there.
Mr.. Emmons registered preplex-
ity when the request first came in.
Then he bethought himself of the
old adage of safety first" and de-
cided TO investigate the character
and reputation OF the party making
the request. He did so, and having
satisfied himself that the proposal
was thoroughly legitimate and prop
er, turned his attention to finding
suitable young women for a try
out" He was confident this after
noon that by Monday he would have
sufficient candidates for the posi-
ffnna .l.f -.
sing and dance are main require
ments.
Aside from the slight furry caus-
ed by the theatrical request activi-
ties at the bureau today were slight
compared with those previously this
week. Only five men and one wo-
man registered for work. Three
men and six women were referred to
possible positions. and seven men
and six women were placed in en-
ployment. OF the men placed four
were skilled laborers and three gen
eral workers. The women placed
were all given domestic work ex-
! cept one, a demonstrator.
DR.. Joseph II. Oden, Director
Of the Employment Service, this
morning issued an appeal to the peo-
pie Of Wilmington in behalf of the
hundreds Of families Of the city who
are said to be starving.
Conditions in Wilmington are
rapidly becoming alarming" he
declares. Winter weather has
stopped a great deal OF outside work.
Children are suffering from cold and
hunger"
The 2937 persons whom the Blu
reau has placed. make up. the letter
states, only one-half OF the number
registered. OF the registrants still
unemployed 544 are ex-service men.
Moreover many Of the 1887 placed
had only part-time jobs and are
again out of work.

MANY Married
WITHOUT LAW
Quebec Statute Provides
Only British Subjects
May Oficiate
OLD LAW WAS
LONG IGNORED

MONTREAL. Jan. 21--A startling
situation regarding marriages in the
Province Of Quebec has suddenly de-
veloped because OF an overcurious
Official who went back to the days Of
1929 to read the statute OF that year
in regard to the solmenization OF
marriages.
The result is that thousands OF
people in this province who married
in goo dfaith before clergymen are
legally not married. Remedial legis-
lation will, IL is understood. be put
through the Legislature this session
to deal with the matter.
There is no civil marriage in the
Province OF Quebec. Clergymen OF
the different denominations perform
the ceremonies and record the fact
in civil registers provided by the
government each year for the pur-
pose.
The law OF 1929 provides that only
ciergymen who are British subjects
may perform marriage. ceremonies in
the Province Of Quebec. which was
then Lower Canada and governed
by the constitutional act OF 1871.
When confederation came In 1867
there was no change in regard to
marriages. but. on the contrary. con
federation confirmed the civil law OF
Lower Canada. which then became
the Provinceof Quebec
During the period OF almost 100
years clergymen OF different nation
alities came into this province. took
over pastorates and married people
as clergymen OF their particular
sect. One generation after another
grew up, married, reared children.
died, and vet many OF these mar
riages were technically illegal be-
cause OF the fact thar the clereymen
in question were not British subjects
No one ever bothered about this
matter, the law was practically a
dead letter and each year the clergy.
men Of foreign nationality, mostly
citizens OF the United States. were
given their registers in which they
entered the record OF marriags per.
formed by them.
At the end OF each year the,
