Hotel Clerk Believes
Love Predominates in
Bridal Couple Here

From what one would see from be-
hind a hotel desk you would think that
all newly weds~ were deeply In love.
This may not be true In all places, but
1t Is true In Washington. because this Is

pretty happy they will not take a we'd

work connected with sightseeing.
consequently the problem of telling
whether people are in love resolves IT.

This is the practical view OF a hotel
clerk In one Of Washington's world
famous hostelries.

When newly welded couple comes In

License Clerk Gives Rules
by Which to Mark
Lovers.
JEWELLERS ALSO
WISE TO COUPLES
Some Little Trick of Tone Or
Manner Always Gives Them
Away In End.

They've got this business of spotting
lovers down to such a fine point in
washington that 1t is Just as easy TO
take a stroll down F street any after
noon with your "Onliest Only and keep
hidden the secret that You really are
"smitten on her. as 1t is to pass
piece of stage money on one of Chief
Wilkes men.
Out in Chicago a minister has put
down set Of rules by which, he says,
all real lovers always and at all times
abide. Washington experts in this love-
making industry, however, say that
there are as many different ways of
finding out when you really and truly
are in love as there are couples in this
fair city of ours.
Kupid Kroll's Rules.
''Kupid" Kroll, marriage license clerk
at the City Hall. who has done more
toward making lives happy than any
other one man in Washington, has given
some hitherto unknown and unpublished
information about how to spot them
when you see them coming your way.
"Kupid" may not have had any actual
experience himself as a Romeo, but as
q close observer of things pre-matri-
monial he's there.
when one is speaking, the other
gives his whole and undivided attention
to what is being said. Sweetheart and
Hon are the common terms used in
addressing each other, openly and
above board, with no fear of some one
overhearing. That's the way to tell
whether it's genuine" is the way
Cupid's emissary expresses It.
Whenever q fellow strolls into a
jewelry store and asks to have engraved
In ring ''To my first love- then the
jewelryman knows that the purchaser
not only is not in love, but Nat he is
getting something which may be re-
turned to him some time, and which can
Immediately be given to some other girl.
Jewellers Are Wise.
The jewelers. of Washington have
made a study of the game of love, and
It's impossible to throw them of the
track.
Washington is a city which is visited
by more bridal couples than probably
any other city in the country. Because
of this. Washingtonians are given more
opportunities to study love and lovers.
Besides this. there being something
like $4,000 more women than men in
Washington, nearly every fellow is
given a chance sooner or later, to do a
Iittles experimenting himself.
Following are the views Of some of
the Washington experts on lovers and
how to detect them:

FUEL SUPPLY OF
COUNTRY GREATER
THAN EVER BEFORE
Oil and Coal Productions
Shown by Geological
Survey Report.

With the United States breaking
All records. whether its own or the
worlds, for the production Of Pc
troieum and coal production that
reaches up to the half billion ton re-
sion, 1t does not appear that the
country Is going to lack material for
fuei or suffer seriously therefor in
the near future.
The Geological Survey has given out
ngures on oil and coal production for
the last year and they are of a sort to
stagger the imagination. The figures
on Oil are especially striking. 1t ap-
pears that while the Supreme Court Of
the United States has been battering
away at the fabric of John d. Rookie
teller. nature has been pouring out
Oil at rate never before equalcd.
Exceeds Own Record.
The petroleum production in this
country, surpassed Its own record
made In 1910 by nearly 1000, 900 bar
rels. The total production of the
world also surpassed all previous rec
ords, amounting to more than 345. .O0O,-
600 barrels. or this, the United States
produced more than SO per cent. or
over 220,000,o00 barrels. The value
of this enormous output of oil, pro-
duced in the United States in 1911,
was over sf34,ooo.000
The increase in production in the
United States the past year was due
largely to the gain in California.
State In the Union in oil production.
It's output was over s1,06O,000 bar
rels. Oklahoma Is the second State.
Its production exceeded $4,000, 900
barrels. Illinois was third with over
fourth with over 100000 barrels,
Both Illinois and Ohio declined large
ly In oil production in the year, while
there were large increases in Cali
fornia, oklahorna and Louisiana.
Great Increase Shown.
The way the oil production of this
country has jumped may best be
judged by considering the figures for
1901 and 1911. In 1901, the produc-
tion in the United States was Co.
100000 barrels. Now. 1t has passed
the mark of 22O.OoO.O0O. California
now produces more oil than the whole
country produced in 1901.
AS for coal production, the Geologi-
cal Survey says the United States has
now become a half billion ton coal
country. For the last two years, the
total production has averaged Just a
trife short of the 500, 900, 900 mark
exceeding that figure in 1910 and al
most reaching II in 1911. 1t Is con-
sidered probab BILE that in the future II
Will be bad year whose production
falls below n half billion tons.
The exact production including an.
thracite and bituminous, for 1911, was
mines at s625,910,113. The decease
In production. compared with the
year before. was a little over per
cent. This Is attributed to the de-
pressed coEdition of the iron and ste el
trade in 1911, which was reflected In
the decrsased production of coke.
The total number of men employed
IN the coal mines of the United
states in 1911 was 722322 of whom
1885 worked in the anthracite
mines of Pennsylvania.
