SHOWERS AID IN
Did You Hear
ly/ins. HAYDN J. DAVIS.
IV1 whose residence at 512
Ecuih Rock Island avenue, Is
next door to the Methodist par-
sonage, has been called countless
times to serve as a witness at
marriages. Consequently, she
has been "in" on many humor-
ous incidents which sometimes
accompany weddings.
Mrs. Davis recalls that she
once witnessed the marriage of
an elderly out-of-town couple
and that about two weeks later
the bridegroom to the minister's
heme, somewhat perplexed. He
had discovered that when his
marriage license was issued, he
had given the court clerk the
wrong name for the woman—
and actually had married some-
one whose name was entirely
different to that which appear-
ed on the license! The troubled
bridegroom wanted the preach-
er to get the matter straighten-
ed out for him.
Another humorous instance
was that when Mrs. Davis saw
a couple stop In front of the
parsonage, with the man slip-
ping a ring upon the girl's fin-
ger. During the wedding cere-
mony when the preacher asked
the bridegroom for the ring, the
nervous man admitted he al-
ready had finished that part
of the ritual before entering the
house.

WASHINGTON. July 17—(U.F—
The administration completed one
of Its prUtcipal bulwarks against
future depressions today with the
Uisurtng of 21.000.000 workers in
every state and territory against
the financial hazard of unemploy-
ment.
Willi I lie addition of Illinois, the
social security board has approved
laws of every state and territory
and the District of Columbia to
provide workers thrown out of Jobs
with an income. This Income under
most state laws will be a maximum
of 115 a week, terminating after
several months of unemployment.
Approximately $1,000,000 a day
from the states, through a tax on
employers, is swelling a trust fund
In the federal treasury for unem-
ployment benefit payments. This
fund now totals $327,175,245.
The state laws Insure salaried
employes, except agricultural work-
ers. domestic employes and govern-
ment employes, who lose their Jobs
through no fault of their own. In
many states, those employers hav-
ing fewer than rtg£t persons are
not Included, however.
Arthur J. Altineyer. chairman of
the board, said the fact that every
state and territory had voluntarily
passed unemployment laws comply-
ing with the act in less than two
years after enact nutot was "beyond
the expectations cn even the most
ardent proponents” of the act.
