c. What part of the expenses of wedding are borne by the brides parents and what part by the groom?
 A. The brides parents provide the invitations, the trousseau of the bride, decorations for the church and house, soloists and organists at church, cars for the bridal party from house to church and back, the wedding reception, dinner or break fast, the brides presents to her bridesmaids, and a wedding present to the couple. The groom's ex- perses include wedding present for the bride, the marriage license, a personal gift to the best man and each of the ushers, the brides bou- quet, the wedding ring, clergyman's fee, and conveyance after the cere- mony, and the wedding trip. The groom may also, if he desires, pur- chase the bouquets for the brides maids, but he is not obligated to do so.

Be True
BY REV. HUELL J. JACKSON
Pastor Greater Elm Street
BaptiSt Church

Baptist Church
When the Lord Jesus was here
upon earth, He was true to His
Heavenly Father at all times. Not
only was He true when He was
admired and praised, but when
He was Knocked and when they
sought to take His life and even
down to death, He was true.
Roys and girls. be true TO the
Saviour, not only when your school
mates and playmates encourage
you. but when they laugh at you
and say you onght to be like the
rest instead of being so odd; stand
true 20 your Lord.
A Missionary from China told
OF Chinese girl who was the
only child of her parents, who
loved her and gave fer a good
education. She took Christ as her
Savior. When she was through
school the missionary asked her
to help teach in their school for
year Or two to which she con-
sented; she had about twelve pu-
pills. After she had taught a short
time there We're wicked men GO
ing about killing all the Chris
tians they could find.
Her father came to see her and
told her that her name was on
The black list. He said if she
would go with him he could hide
her In a safe place. She consider
ed the matter and then said she
would not go for her pupils might
get scared and not stand true to
God II she left them and these
wicked men would come in on
them.
So she decided to stay with them
ana face whatever would come
n the strength of her Lord. Not
long after her father had gone
these wicked men came into the
school and bade her give up her
faith in God or be killed. She
stood trie 10 her Saviour and
her life was taken.
The pupils saw all this but be-
cause their teacher was true they
remained true too, and each one
IN turn was killed for not deny
ing the Lord sr
My friends, if you are true to
Jesus y1a will encourage some one
else' or perhaps many, to be true
also and you will be rewarded bv
your Heavenly Father.

NAUVOO, Ala, Jan. 18.-Ala-
bama's 4-day-old quadruplets all
had names today, in addition to
two guardians, an advisory COM

The three girls were named Faith,

Yesterday their brother was
named Franklin after an uncle.

Sabotage Is Discounted
In Du Pont Plant Blast
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GIBBSTOWN, N. j., Jan. 18.-
Explosion of three tons of nitro
glycerin at the Repaupo plant of
the Du Pont Co., killing two men
and injuring five, was put down to-
day as an accident.
II see no reason to suspect sa-
botage," declared Col. Mark o. Kim
berling of the State police.
That possibility drew attention OF
both State police and the Federal
Bureau Of Investigation Immediately
after yesterdays midmorning blast.
The Du Pont Co. manufactures war
materials at some plants.
The explosion shattered windows
and Jared buildings for miles
around. Thousands in Philadel-
phia, 13 miles north, rushed from
homes and buildings fearing an
earthquake.
A 10-foot-deep crater, resembling
battlefield shell hole, was torn in
the frozen ground where stood a
small building devoted to processing
nitroglycerin.
Little was left of the structure or
the two men inside-Earl Leslie

The Political MilI
President May Be Letting Drofters Go Ahead
To Make Him Able to Name Nominee

Mr.. Gannett to stop" Dewey-by
dividing as far as possible the New
York delegation to the Republican
National Convention. Political OBJ
servers in New York and elsewhere
have not the slightest idea that Mr..
Gannett could obtain the Republican
presidential nomination. It is not
In the cards. The most he can do,
it is believed, is to win for himself
handful of the New York delegates,
and thereby make it appear that Mr..
Dewey is not the unanimous choice
of the Empire State Republicans.
It may be recalled in this con-
nection that AL Smith split wide
open the New York delegation to the
Democratic National Convention in
1882. And yet Franklin D. Roosevelt
was the nominee. The same thing
may happen to Mr.. Dewey In the
coming Republican National Con-
vention-even though Mr.. Gannett
may have some of the delegates in
his camp.
The Dewey for President CAM
paign has gone far and wide. 1t is
not confined to New York. If it
takes on still greater and greater
proportions, any Gannett- for
President drive is likely to have little
effect-and in the end the New
York delegation may find it ad-
visable to back Mr.. Dewey in its
entirety.
Dewey Has Personality.
Mr.. Dewey has on his side youth
and personality. Mr.. Gannett is 63
years old. He is not known to the
American public as is Mr.. Dewey,
from ocean to ocean. However, there
are certain elements in the Repub-
ican party which have looked
askance at Mr.. Dewey, holding him
to be too radical-and too young and
inexperienced. Mr.. Gannett is with
out experience himself in public
Office. 1t looks as though the Can
nett candidacy was intended largely
to muddy the waters in New York
and give a boot to Mr.. Dewey.
There is one thing to remember,
however, in considering the question
of the coming Republican presi-
dental nomination. That Is the
remarkable rise of young leaders in
the G. o. p in the last couple Of
years. Young men have moved into
the front ranks-and this may all
help Mr.. Dewey, who is himself a
young man. Gov, Stassen Of Min
nesota, who has made a name for
himself, is 80 years old. Gov. VAN
derbilt of Rhode Island is 49, Gov.
Rather of Kansas is 43. Gov. Bricker
of Ohio is 46, and Gov. Saltonstall
of Massachusetts, is At.
Congress has large number of
young Republicans as members to-
day. Massachusetts, has its Senator
Lodge and Connecticut its Senator
Danaher. In the House there are
20 Republican members in their 30s,
and more than so are under so years
of age. 1t is going to be a bit diff
cult, therefore, for the old guard
or what is left Of ito swing the
presidential nomination, even should
it wish to do so.
