Miss Helen Wills Does Not Say "Obey"
Berkeley, U.S., Yesterday. Helen Wills and Fred Moody were married at the picturesque little chapel of St. Clement, at the foot of the Berkeley Hills. The ceremony was of the simplest, only the bride's and bridegroom's par- ents and the bridegroom's brother and sister-in-law being present. The honeymoon is secret, but it is

Washington. Yesterday. The Federal Reserve Board's re- port states that industrial produc- tion declined in November for the fifth consecutive month, but the decline in employment was less than the decline in production.
The banking system is in a strong position, and prepared to meet the seasonal demands of coming weeks without much increase of money rates. Reuter's Amerkan Servire.
