In the life-story of any great man. the incident most certain to inter est every human being of every age is the romance of his courtship and his marriage. Greatness may remove him from average human ity in every other respect, but in this element of romance he touches the lives of all where all under stand him. This day, January 6, probably old style, marks the 173rd anniversary of the wedding of George and Mar tha Washington, In so far as his torians have been able to fix the date, says the United States George Washington Bicentennial commission. While the records do not state the fact, it la probable that George and Martha had heard much of each other before they met. Washington had already es tablished his fame as a daring sol dier by his movements against the French on the Ohio and by his courage at the Battle of Braddock's I'leia, and the young colonel, so often in Williamsburg, the social as well as political capital of Vir ginia, must have known of the handsome, socially prominent, and wealthy young Widow Custis. Their meeting occurred when Washington, then commanding the military defences of the Virginia irontler against the Indians, had hurried down to Williamsburg to urge in person certain needed im provements in his command. At William's Ferry, over the Pamun- key River, tradition has It, Wash ington paused at the house of Ma jor Chamberlayne, which may have been on May 27, 1758, and was pressed by this friend to stop and partake of hospitality. Washing ton, on his way to see the Governor on important business, at first de clined, but at Major Chamber layne's insistence agreed to stay to dinner. The argument that turned the discussion seems to have been Major Chamberlayne's remark that the charming Mrs. Custis was also a guest at his house. There is almost a humorous note in this snare which fate seemed to cast about Washington's heart With him was his faithful servant Bishop, whom General Braddock had turned over to him, and whom Washington instructed to stay by' their horses until dinner was over. The old orderly well knew his mas ter's punctuality and took it for granted that the pause at the Chamberlayne home would be a brief one. But dinner passed, the sun sank lower in the West, and still Washington had not emereed. At last so the story goes, Bishop was ordered to stable the horses for the night. It was only too evi dent that George Washington had found business that to him was more important at the moment than his errand with the Governor. On the next day the journey to Williamsburg was resumed, but no sooner was the business with the Governor transacted than Wash ington hurried away to the "White House" on the Pamunkey where the Widow Custis lived. When he left on June 5, the deeply smitten young Virginia colonel must have been in high spirits, for he took with him the lady's promise to wed him as soon as his military service on the Ohio was finished. To this day there is a dispute as to whether the wedding of George and Martha Washington occurred at the bride's home or at St Peter's Church in Williamsburg, but the rector of St Peter's, the Reverend Mr. Mossom, is know to have off! ciated at the ceremony, and the date of the marriage is fixed by J area Sparks as of January 6, 1759 Wherever the event occurred, it was a notable and brilliant affair, with the Governor, the military and civil authorities, and the socially elite in attendance. George Washington was arrayed as the most brilliant figure in the whole assembly. Naturally so im portant a matter as the bride's at tire was not to be lost in oblivion. and we know that Martha's wed ding gown was "a satin quilt, over which a heavy white silk. Inter woven with threads of silver, was looped back with white satin rib bons, richly brocaded in a leaf pat tern. There were close elbow sleeves revealing a puff and frill of lace. Strings of pearls were wo ven in and out of her powdered hair. Her high-heeled slippers were of white satin, with brilliant buckles." Martha TXfo ah ino4r,n t.nnn born Martha Dandridge. At the age or seventeen she married Col. Dan iel Parke Custis, a wealthy man who died eight years after their marriage, leaving her two children and the mistress of a large for tune. After her wedding to George Washington, months had still to elapse before the happily wedded pair could settle down at Washing ton's estate or Mount Vernon. Hav ing been elected to the House of Burgesses, Washington was oblig ed to attend its sessions, and the couple remained at Williamburg until May, 1759. Then they went to the beautiful estate on the Po tomac, to make it their home for the rest of their lives and to leave it a shrine forever to millions of Americans who hold in reverent memory every incident in their life together. Nothing in all history outdoes in beauty Washington's attachment to his wife, as she in turn was his best reliance, a source of encourage ment in all his trials, a dignified figure in herself, as firmly planted as her great husband in the affec tionate memory of succeeding gen erations of Americans. So, Janu ary 6 will linger in our history as the-beginning of one of the stately and lovely romances of all time. W. CT.U. NOTES. MARY A NOTSON. Reporter. From reports circulated by the wets, a person would think that the city of Chicago, was running ab so lute tly "wide open" with all kinds of liquor available in unlimited quantities. No doubt conditions are not what they should be, and with admitted corruption among the police forces, it is not to be wondered at that there are numer ous violations of all laws frnm tho statutes forbidding murder down to me smallest misdemeanor. However, Jane Addams, founder and supreintendent of Hull House, one of the greatest welfare institu tions in the country, says: "Here around Hull House we used to watch whiskey and beer be ing left at saloons by the dray load. The poverty and suffering from drink was appalling. There is such a difference now that it seems like another world. Our poor are mov ing away into better places. The whole standard of life is rising for them. Drinking has decreased, and so has our work of rehabilitating families wrecked throucrh intern. perance.

The deceptive argument which has been put forth so frequently in recent months that a restoration of the sale of beer would bring relief from unemployment will deceive no one except those who are either willing to sacrifice the public wel fare for the satisfaction of their thirst or those who t hope in some way to link up with the money making Bide of the business if it should be restored. Authentic re ports from Great Britain show that brewery profits have increased along with unemployment Beer is not a cure for any economic ills. Conditions in England today dis prove the claim of the American brewers that re-legalizing beer in the United States would benefit either labor or Industry, on. this side of the Atlantic. In England the number of unemployed increas ed from 1,336,000 in 1923 to 1,731.- 000 in 1930, the brewerey profits nave increased from 1110,000,000 in 1923 to $125,000,000 in 1930. While dividends in industry have been dropping all over the world, Eng lish brewing companies are paying from 12 to 25 per cent; one large brewing company reporting a net profit increase since last year of $1,500,000 and paying 35 per cent dividend. And nearly 'all of this profit comes out of the pockets of the poor, leaving them leas upon which to live and adding to the tax burdens of the country at large for the support of the needy. When you can lift yourself over the fence by your bootstraps, you can make the country prosperous by restoring the beer business.
