WHITE HOUSE STAFF
MEMBERS WILL WE'D
E. c. Geisser, Stenographer to Cool
idge, to Take Miss Doris
Slater as Bride.

The first White House romance
since the Wilson administration came
to light yesterday when announce
ment was made by Erwin c. Geisser,
the Presidents private stenographer,
and Miss Doris Slater, a clerk in the
executive office, that they are to be
married today.
This little romance did its budding
and blooming virtually right under
the nose of President Coolidge, al
though few persons about the White
House had any idea that the young
couple thought of marrying, at least not
until later in the year.
Mr. Geisser is a native Of Lawrence
Mass, and was a stenogra pher in the
War Department when Calvin Cool
idge succeeded to the Presidency.
shortly aftcrward President Coolidge
sent for him to join the White House
staff, and he was at once detailed to
take the Presidents dictation. Miss
Slater, native of Auburn, y. Y,
came to Washington several years
ago as an employe in the Veterans
Bureau, and more than Il year ago
she was loaned by that bureau to the
White House to assist in the clerical
work there, where she has since re-
manned.
The wedding will be performed at
st. Patrick's Church this afternoon.

There are now 500 cities in the
the area within their boundaries into
zones, setting territory apart for ex-
elusive use as business, residence, in
dustrial or transportation property,
the Department of Commerce reports
in a summary of conditions affecting
the proposal
The most marked progress was
made in this form of city planning
during 1924, when g. municipalities
adopted the system, fitting the zones
to the particular requirements of
their localities.
"In adopting zoning ordinances" the
departments statement says, these
cities, towns and villages have
sought to protect home owners and
other land owners in the reasonable
use of their property. Zoning seeks
so to regulate the use to which build
ings may be put, the area of the lot
which they may cover. and their
height in different sections of the
city that the land in each district
may be used for the purposes to which
it is best suited.
