CUPID'S RECORD LOWERED.
Only SO Licenses Issued This Year,
Against 61 Last,

The big cost of living, the European
conflict or some other untoward cir
cumstance is being blamed by Dan
Cupid today for the decline in the
number of marriages this Thanksgiv-
ing. The eve of the holiday holds the
record for activity at the marriage
license counter at city hall, but yes
terday's business fell below the num-
Der of licenses issued on the correspond
ing day of 1913.
Clerk Kroll. however, was kept busy
issuing flfty-two licenses yesterday
and appeared to be not much worried
that the number of applications did
not reach the total of sixty-one. issued
by him last year on the eve of Thanks
giving day. The record for the office
was attained in 1912. when sixty-four
marriage licenses were obtained.
In the three days preceding the hoIi-
day this year a total of ninety-tw
licenses were secured. In the like
period of 1913 there were granted LOG
licenses.
