HONEYMOON COUPLES
HAVE PRIVATE LIFT
Pilgrims to Marriage License
Bureau Provided With Spe-
cial Elevator.

Going up, the Honeymoon Express, di-
rect to the fourth floor and no stops on
the way
Clnging timldly to the arms Of their
prospective spouses, the little June brides,
OF whom there were II yesterday, covered
at the brutal words Of Charles II. Kellet,
superintendent Of elevators at the City
Hall. as he unfeellngly "bawied them
out"
This way for the honeymooners; they
have their own private car nowl"
The superintendent's action was tho
result of a decision taken by Clayton w,
Pike, Chief of the Electrical Bureau, yes
terday, when he realized that the on
slaught on the Marriage License Bureau,
judged by the statistics of these first
three days, threatened to be greater this
June than ever before.
Tho honeymooners would have to have
an elevator for their own use. Otherwise
the traffic and less romantic business OF
the municipality would be interfered
with.
And so the last elevator in the north
east corner of the building has been
set aside for the lovelorn couples.
Whether this specific car was chosen
because It Is closest to tho License Bu-
reau or because the operator Is a con-
firmed bachelor and woman hater, and is,
therefore, immune from the insidious In
fuence which the June brides radiate,
the officials do not say, but at any rate.

RETURN TO FLORIDA WITH
NEWS OF BETTER TIMES

Pensacola, Jan. l4.-Thomas J i.
llanlon. Jr., manager of the Pensa
cola Electric CO., returned to Pen
sacOla yesterday after several weeks
spend in Boston, New York, Wash
inston and other cities of the east
and declared that a General feeling
of optimism prevails among the
business people of that section of the
country, and, it is based on a gen .
cral trade revival now being expert
enced and the bright prospects for
the future. Furthermore, he said,
feeling exists in the east that the
business revival VIII spread to the
south and that this section will Sc :
cure its share, either before, Or i'm =
mediately after the European war is
closed.
"All OF the mills of the New Eng
land States are busy" said Mr..
Hanlon. "They are supplying
blankets, shoes and equipment for
the European countries at war, as
well as supplying home consump-
tion of these products, and this
greatly increased demand for their
products is keeping all of them hard
at work.
"A most pleasing indication of
general improved conditions is that
money is offered at lower rate than
before the war. This is attributed
to the new banking and currency
law enacted by Congress and which
is now in operation. Public utility
bonds, which could not be sold at
any price for many months, are now
in good demand. showing that in
vcstors, who were frightened, are
again seeking TO put their money

The railroads, which are a GOOD
barometer OF business conditions"
continued Mr.. IIanlon, "are pre-
