ANY firm in private business
which is not guided by its books of

Cro1un Princess Juliana OF
Netherlands WEEDS Today

considers 1t bad luck to meet her
bridegroom before she sees him at
the altar, Juliana, according to
Dutch custom, met Bernhard at the
great palace OF The Hague, this
morning. They sat side by side in
the great, golden state coach and
led the wedding procession from the
palace TO the town hall where. In
the presence Of the burgomaster and
his assistants, they gravely affixed
their signatures to the civil docu-
ments which made them man and
wife.
The ceremony at the town hall
was over in o few minutes and the
wedding party started Immediately
for the church for the religious SER
vice In the ancient Calvinist edifice.
A radiantly happy bride, Juliana,
In her white velvet wedding gown,
her glittering tiara and bracelet OF
2700 diamonds--a wedding gift from
Dutch East Indies subjects--looked
like fairy tale princess. She sat
sedately beside her husband, on his
right because Of her superior royal
rank. He wore blue and gold uni
form Of captain In the Blue Hus-
sars OF the Netherlands. Their gold
en- coach was drawn by eight milk
white horses. At the ehead Of each
walked a lackey in the uniform Of
the royal household.
Behind them. in the great crystal
coach, rode the queen mother, VIII
helmina. She was alone. The
thoughts must have turned to that
other wedding procession 40 years
before when she herself rode over
the same route--in the golden coach
that time---to become the bride oil

NelU NOn-ReLief
WPA Regulations.

Effective April Is, not more than 5
per cent of all persons on WPA pro-
jects may have non-relief status
Heretofore, the maximum non-relief
that could be carried was 10 per cent
In the state as a whole, the number
always has been we'll below the total
allowable, due to the policy of con-
serving funds as much as possible for
those most in need. On March 20, the
per cent of those not on relief in this
state was 81, according to information
obtained from WPA officials.
The new regulations mean that where
projects have 10 workers or less, all
must be from the relief rolls and pro-
jects with more than 10 must be oper-
ated on the basis of not more than one
non-relief employee for each 10 relief
workers. This may require some re-
adjustments on projects in each locality
local WPA representatives said.
The new regulations were promul-
gated in Washington as a further
step to conserve funds that have been
voted by Congress for the operation of
the work relief program. They were
designed especially to correct situations
on some projects where the per cent
of non-relief labor was above the max
imum allowed.
