Ttb. 28. (By. The Associated, Press) King . , George today gave hi only daughter, Princess Mary, , In . marriage to Viscount Lasceiles. It was a great national event which will live long In the memories of the vast throngs whose unrestrained plaud its greeted 'England' princess as she paassed through festive streets to the altar in stately old Westminster Abbey to become th bride of an English commoner. . A bridal march within the walls rich Iq royal association, and a ritual Witnessed by tL grand assem blage and attended by the tradi- tlonal splendor that mark state .occasions were the more superfi cial of the day's proceedings. That which captivated an empire's Im agination wis the realization of a dream mnch older than empires the marriage of a beautiful girl of exatted rank to a -,j man. of more humble station but of proven gal lantry, .

But It was from the shims, wherever they exist In London, that a large proportion ot today's madly cheering throngs poured to acclaim the princess and her hus band. Among the richly garbed wedding guests in the Abbey were half a dezen representatives of orgfsnijted labor and their wives, lidden at the instance ot the king. Pacrant Magnificent The scenes of regal pomp which pave the ceremony its theatrical excellence were the most magnifi cent London has seen since the war and the first since that catas-J trophe wholly unman u some tinge of tragedy. The happiness everywhere am ong the street throngs was as apparent in the abbey, it is doubtful, whether in its centuries that edifice ever contained a more cheerful gathering as the bride. Jn silver, with long flowing veil and train held by two of her at tendants, passed gracefully down th? scarlet-carpeted aisle on the arm of the king. ' Awaiting them Inside the rail ing of the eacrarinm were Dowag er Queen Alexandra, Queen Mary, the bride's brothers, the Duke, of York. Prince Henry and Prince George and other members of the royal family. The king wore the resplendant scarlet and gold uni form of the Grenadier Guards. In compliment to the war-time ser vice unit o Lasceiles. This uni form was also worn by the tall slender bridegroom. Qu-en Wear Diamonds The contrasting colorings ot Prince George's uniform, the air service regalia of Prince Henry and the richly embroidered cloak- like vestments of the clergy, iar outshone In brilliancy the cream and brocade of Kueen Mary's gown and the more subdued shades of Alexandra's dress. Both queens were aglitter with, dia monds. Queen Mary wearing a great V-shaped cprsage set with dozens of gems. The king and queens, the Duke of York and Viscount Lasceiles each wore the bin sash of the Order of the Garter the bridegroom having re ceived that honor from the king on Sunday. Just before the brfde and king reached the chancel railing, the Duke of York noticed that the carpet leading to the steps to the high altar was wrinkled. He arose from Wg .... beside Queen Mary. t storied and straightened the car- i pet, ana resumed b Is seat. I But apparently he had not smoothed all the wrinkles for when the king bearing the bride on his arm reached the top step a moment later, he tripped, but quickly regained his poise by bracing his arm against the rail ing. Bride 1 Nervous The bride swayed perceptibly and seemed quite nervous as the ceremony which scarcely exceed led 10 minutes began. The- sub dued light of the laltar candles which mingled with the sun's rays filtering' - through the abbey's multi-colored windows, her face waa pale as Dean Ryle moved for ward and began the marriage ser. vice.

A. started some thing worth while when It started the Salem Interchurch Basketball league. There are six teams in the race and all doing their best to win a place. The teams are un limited in size and weight. The standing ot the teams Is as fol lows: Won Lost Methodists 2 Baptists 2 1 Presbyterians . . 1 0 First Christian 0 4 Jason Lee .... 1 1 Highland Friends 1 T Although the First Christians:; stand in the last place they am handicapped by weight and Rlze; they are the scrappiest team in the league ami have been uereat- ed only at the last moment be-t cause of their being too light to stand the mnch heavier teams. The Baptists are so far show ing more class as they have a number of experienced players and by continuous practice they have improved In team work 10) per cent in last week. The Presbyterians have the best team work and are out for the championship and it looks like they have a good chance. Highland Friends are also handicapped because of size and some of the team members being ill with the flu. The First iMethodists are per haps the most experienced in the league but the Baptists have im proved so much in the last week It looks like they will give them a run for first place.

Boardman is advisor The games are held every Satur day evening. Next Saturday the Presbyterians play the Baptists and the Methodist First church plays Jason Lee.

STATE RECEIVES E BIG TRUCKS Huge Machines Held Over at Conclusion of War Used on Highways The state highway department has been putting Into service some of the big Liberty trucks that arrived in Salem in Decem ber, as the federal contribution They are huge machines, about the biggest of their Tilnd, and they will carry all the load that any truck ever ought ,to handle on public road. They are being fit ted with 14-inch tread tires, to re place the dual tires of the original eauloment. Thtese big tires come In solid tread except for the lateral cuts that give them their grip and give them also a better expansion than a solid rim tire. But tfoey are be ing groved with a one-inch groove two inches deep all the way around the center of the clrcura ferenoe of the tire. This cut In the tire gives an air space that allows the rubber to cool, and a tire so treated, even though It has lost a considerable quantity of rubber, will actually outwear the giant tire that overheats and burns it self out. The state received 11 of these huge trucks in one shipment, and they will be of vast Bervlce In the state road program.' They had never seen service, other than "to wait out in the weather for some one to come and get them after the war was over.
