Y., Dec. 17.—(A— In this quiet little hamlet, where noth- ing much ever happens, eight per- sons today are figuring in one of the most unusual celebrations ever noted—a quadruple golden wedding celebration. All their lives the eight have been close friends, never wan- dering far from the confines of the community, yet today their lives are removed from the commonplace. The couples are Mr. and Mrs. Andrew J. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. | James K. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Ctharles E. Mott, and Mr. and Mrs. Jenry Curtis. Together, they repre- eent 400 years of wedded life, and | 571 years of age.

The money would be made avail- able at the rate of $10,000,000 an- nually for five years for new public buildings throughout the country. Last session of congress made $100,- 000,000 available over a period of years, Under the old and new billy together the annual allotment would be increased to $35,000,000. The measure has the support of the committee chairman, Represen- tative Elliott of Indlana. A companion measure to Senator McNary’s new farm rellef bill was introduced at the house end of the capitol by Representative Fulmer, a South Dakota democrat. The development grew out of an effort to assoclate the west and the south in support of a farm rellef plan, and settled a weck of discus- slon over the naming of the legisla- tive newcomer. It will be the M Nary-Fulmer bill, succeeding as a center of farm relief debate the Mec- Nary-Haugen blll of last season. Representative Fulmer's bill dif- fers in but one respect from that of Senator McNary. It would suspend operation of the equalization feet on cotton for two years after passage, but Mr. Fulmer said he understood Senator McNary was agreeable to the alteration. The measure might have become | the McNary-Purnell-Fulmer bill had | hegan slugging Maca not Representative Purnell, republi- can, Indiana, delayed attaching his name to it while he waited for the opinion of his chlef on the agricul- tural committee—Chairman Haugen.
