~ uU0 0J
- UEsTIoNs about wedding anni-
versaries have lately become
~ almost as numerous as ques-
tions about weddings. Especially
noticeable is the increasing number of
anniversaries which are being cele-
brated with showers of specified gifts.
Until comparatively modern times
there were only five anniversaries
which could, with reasonable security,
be counted on. The celebration of the
diamond wedding anniversary, at the
end of sixty years, can be realized by
no more than fraction of those who
will welcome their friends at their
golden wedding. This in turn is a COM
paratively small number of those who
celebrate their silver wedding Thus
the outstanding anniversary has al
ways been the silver wedding at the
end of twenty-five years happily spent
together The other anniversaries of
tradition were only four: crystal, 18th;
tin. 10th; wood, 5th; paper. lst.
Today, however. there are thirty
odd acknowledged anniversaries -
one for each year up to fifteen. and
one for every five years after that.
Moreover. some of these have as many
as-three different types of gifts from
which to choose. In fact, there would
at the moment seem to be no reason
at all why you may not go gaily on
and invent whatever gift list you
please. At this moment the complete
list $50 far as know is as follows:
The first year is definitely the paper
anniversary.
The second year is calico; in some
states any cotton. Calico is the more
amusing word and suggests. perhaps.
more amusing party. But if any sort
OF cotton is admitted it will make
present-giving much easier.
For the third year some states list
leather, others muslin. Muslin does
not seem to be practical and leather
would surely be the better choice.
from a present finding aspect.
For the fourth year, silk is now
supplemented with books, fruit and
flowers. So whether you who are CIV
ing the party call it book wedding,
a it-and-f wedding: or silk
wedding is something you'll have to
decide for yourself.
The fifth year is wood, as we all
know; but some of us may not know
that clocks are now included. l sup
pose they began as wood. but now
any clock is to be made welcome.
The sixth year is iron: or if this does
not appeal, you may substitute sugar
and candy.
The gifts selected for the seventh
year are also very mixed: copper,
brass, bronze, and woolen.
The eighth year is pottery and
bronze. In the newest list of New
York's oldest and most conservative
jewellers, electric appliances have been
added. This shows that innovation is
supplementing tradition.
The ninth year. which New Eng
landers celebrate with willow, is listed
as pottery in New York.
To the "tin" of the tenth wedding
is now added aluminium.
Presents chosen for the eleventh
anniversary are steel; for the twelfth.
silk and linen; for the thirteenth, lace;
and for the fourteenth, ivory.
The fifteenth is crystal as 1t has
ever been. and this of course includes
everything made of glass.
After this there are four giftless
anniversaries and then the twentieth
is china. Then blank until the silver

Eori Be!voir Building
On Schedule DESPITE
Labor Shortage
We Don't Take No for an
Answer in Procurement,
Quortermoster Explains

Construction of $50 cantonment
buildings at Fort Belvoir, Va, IL
miles below Washington, is running
ahead of schedule despite an initial
shortage of carpenters and a cur
rent shortage of sheet metal work.
ers and plumbers, it was learned
today
While cantonment projects in
many sections of the country are
running far behind original sched-
ules, II new buildings that were
scheduled for completion at Belvair
on January 3, were turned over to
the Army last night.
1t was said that by Friday, when
IA additional buildings are due to
be finished, 80 structures will be
turned over to officials. Another
203 buildings scheduled to be ready
by January 3 are more than 10 per
cent finished.
First Group on Schedule.
The original group of Is buildings
scheduled to be finished ON Novem-
ber 25 were completed on schedule
by the Charles H. Tompkins Co. of
Washington and already are oc-
cupied by men of the 294th Depot
Engineer Company, the 56th En-
gineer Shop Company, the 31st En-
gineer Combat Company and Com
pany A of the 84th Engineer Regi-
ment.
These troops are part of the
Regular Army increase under the
National Defense Act
Maj. Oliver F. w. Cromwell, con-
structing quartermaster, in dis
cussing the, work at Fort Belvoir
declared today that every one here
is on the ball. When knot shows
up we find out whose bailiwick it's
in and he rolls up his sleeves and
goes after it,"
He said an initial shortage of
carpenters was overcome, while
current shortage of sheet metal
workers and plumbers lis coming
along all right"
Fight for Materials.
Mai. Cromwell said Fort Belvoir
has had to fight for heating and
plumbing materials, like other can
tonments, but that when materials
are needed I'VE don't take mo- for
an answer. We send an officer to
the factory and he sits with the
president until our stuff is shipped.
The manufacturers are having
a tough time meeting these Suddcn
demands from so many cantonmert
projects. However, every one here
wants to make our schedule on time
and We just won't let them turn
US down. We work from u to 20
hours day in the Office and we
intend to keep it up until the job
is finiShed-on time"
