Wedding ceremonies were held in the morning, at 9 o’clock at St. Elizabeth’s R.C. Church, the Rev. Father Kozan officiating-.

Hundreds of well-wishers attended the moving- ceremonies in which * the beautiful bride and the manly groom, both members of popular and univlersally respected Cleveland families, were united in marriage. Following the ceremonies, the bridal party and the immediate families had breakfast at the Hungarian Workingmen’s Home at 11212 Buckeye Rd., after which, the bridal party went to visit friends and relatives, making also a welcome appearance at the Verhovay Hall. A grand reception was held in the evening at the Hungarian Workingmen’s Home, where Frankie Benze and his orchestra furnished the music. A staff of excellent cooks, headed by Mrs. Spesak prepared a real Hungarian wedding dinner, consisting of chicken, stuffed cabbage and excellent pastries, that was greatly enjoyed by the more than 300 guests filling- the hall to capacity. Among the guests were noted nearly all of the members of Branch 366, including Mr. and Mrs. Rcttmann, then Manager of the Branch, and Mr. Dus, his successor', all of whom had a wonderful time. After a honeymoon in Pittsburgh, Pa., the young couple made their home at 2839 E. 117th St., Cleveland, O.

JOHN SABO, National Auditor. OH, HORRORS! A friend of ours doesn’t approve of the way mathematics are taught in our modern schools. For the last three nights he has been trying to help his young daughter out of a morass'of tangled computation which she has been given for homework. He tells us that neither of them is getting anywhere. Last night his daughter warned him that it was going to be even worse next week. “What happens next week?” he asked. “Well,” said his fellow sufferer, “next week they’re going to begin teaching us the dismal system!” —Labor.
