 Have you heard of Dr. Warren and Dr. Warren's profession? If you haven't it's time you were informing yourself for Dr. Warren's profession Is a modern inStitu- ton that seems to have come to stay. In fact, Dr. Warren appears to have filled long felt want The irreverent some times call him the first aid-to-the-injured or the Cupid-to- the stay -out-all- nights. But what Dr. Warren really does is to marry couples who are in hurry a any old time. at most any old place and un- der most any old conditions. Without doubt Dr. Warren Is the greatest ever known in the business of tying nasty knots. But he has grown weary of his profession. that Is unless he can find away to make 1t more lucrative. 1t seems those of nasty knot tier have not always been liberal in fleeing the clergyman who sleeps with one ear to the telephone for the benefit of those persons who get mar ried while other folks sleep. The doctor sat down and looked over his scrap book reading and re-reading the columns of good stories he has made for the news papers. Then a happy thought struck him. Taking his scrap book under his arm, he invaded the newspaper offices In Park row and solemnly announced that he would be willing to accept space rates for all the stories in which his name has figured.

 Well. I'm what would be called quite liberal" explained pr. Warren. Don't you know. think if Christ were to come back to earth again He would modify many of His statements. Christ was man of His times when He was on earth and I am sure He would be progressive were He here now. And there's St. Paul. I think St. Paul would take back some of his statements were he to preach in New York today"
 Do you ever marry them when they're soused?'' was the next question put to Dr. Warren. The questioner had in mind a marraige performed by pr. Warren in a restaurant in which some of the happy marriage party. according to the bouncer and others who ought to know a souse when they saw one were frazzled to the foreocks
 "Oh, I shouldn't think of it," said the doctor. evidently pained. Ills attention was called to the marriage in question.
 Well" he said. after some considera- ton. "I shall admit that the man I mar rled that night had been drinking And isn't 1t deplorable the way they will get married at all hours?" Dr. Warren went on with sigh. No one should be mar ried at midnight that way. but they will get me up to marry them"
