Elizabeth Bowie Is
Wed to Carter Redd

Lovely and impressive in it's digni-
fled simplicity was the wedding
Saturday afternoon of Miss Eliza
beth Bowie, of this city, to Carter
Lee Redd, of Birmingham, Alabama,
and Martinsville, Va. The VOWS were
taken in the drawing room of the
Bowie home before an altar of
banked fern, palms, Madonna lilies,
and softly glowing cathedral candles.
Bishop Robert E. Gribben, of the
Western North Carolina Diocease,
officiated using the ring ceremony.
The handsome bride, beautifully
gowned in white satin, cut princess
fashion and ending in a generous
train, wore the traditional bridal
veil and carried an arm bouquet of
lily of the valley. She entered on
the arm of her father, Judge T. G.
Bowie, who gave her in marriage.
Preceding her to the altar was Mas
ter William Vernon Porter, End, of
Charlotte, N. c., who bore the ring
on a white satin pillow.
The groom was attended by his
brother, Henry Redd, of Blacksburg,
Virginia.
Prior to and during the ceremony,
a violin and piano musical program
was given which consisted of my

scended from a long line of illus
trous men and women among whom

Judge Bowie, has long been promi-
nent in North Carolina legal and po-
litical affairs. She was graduated

THE MOVE FOR ECONOMY

A movement for economy in government is
being agitated among statesmen in Washington.
So far little results have been shown, but the
movement will, through necessity if for no 9TH
er reason, grow in popularity as the tax payers
learn that the federal debt in 1880 was sixteen
billion dollars and that today it approaches
thirty-six billions.
Shortly after the World War the national had
such enormous amount of money that it was
in debt heavily. However, program of econo-
my was adopted and the big debt was steadily
cut down.
Senator Byrd of Virginia, one of the few con-
gressional advocates of real economy, has cited
some astounding figures The Federal civil exec
utive payroll excluding relief, military and
pension rolls-grew at the rate of 1000 persons
a month between December 1884 and Septem-
Der, 1886. 1t now costs the taxpayers ST. 000OO,-
600 year. And so rapidly has this bureaucracy
expanded it's operations that more than IS per
cent of the personnel is employed outside Wash
ington. .
Senator Byrd says also, citing another ex-
ample of bureaucratic growth: I'm March, 1888,
the government was leasing 6,O84 buildings or
parts of buildings outside of Washington. Be-
tween then and July l, 1886, the leased number
rose to II ,842, although in the meantime the
government has build 664 new buildings at
cost of 1929, OOO,OOO
These figures are so big that we fail to COM
prehend all that they mean, but we do under
stand that they mean that we are spending a
lot of money and it is high time for economy
drives to be started in real earnest E. or else

10000 PUZZLED
ON BIRTHDAYS

CHICAGO, Sept. 10 (C.TP.SO.
Twenty thousand Chicago children
born since 1920 are celebrating the
wrong birth day. Here is why:
All of them were born between
midnight and a. m. during the
five months of the year when Chi
cago observes day light saving
time. If the city had been on
Central Standard Time their births
would have occurred on the pre-
ceding day. Corporation Counsel
Barnett Hodes said today that
State law provides that birth rec
ords should be kept in a uniform
manner throughout the State.
Therefore, he ruled the time used
at the Springfield office of the
State department of health, which
administers the law, should prevail.
That time is Central Standard.
The question came up when DR..
Herman N. Bundesen, president of
the Chicago Board Of Health,
called Mr.. Hodes for a ruling on
the day of birth of a youngster
who first saw the light of day at
1928 a. m. daylight saving time,
June 10. The parents said they
want to know what's his birth
day."
June 49," replied the corpora
ton counsel.

Villain freed!
Capital Is Replacing
Brittle Naples

Drama with several heroes and
only one villain is unusual on the
stage, but just an old story to the
folk who direct the destinies Of
Washington's famous trees.
Clifford Lanham, Superintend-
ent of trees and parking, today re-
vealed that the Simon Legree in
the worlds only production Of
"Uncle Sans Cabin" is the silver
maple, planted extensively on
local streets many years ago.
They grew quickly, Lanham ex-
plains, but become so brittle that
q bit of wind, such as kissing from
the galleries-win break them
apart. Hence, he is gradually re-
placing them with the various he
roes in his cast, which include the
Oriental plane tree, the red oak,
the willow oak and the American
elm.
He disclosed that the Capital has
more trees than any other city on
earth. They number about 1885,
625, and are planted on an average
of SO feet apart. They would line
a road from here to Key West,
Lanham said, providing anybody
was to go to the trouble of trans
planting them in an effort to prove
the contention.
