MARS SPURS CUPID.
MARRIAGES SHOW
VAST INCREASE

Unperturbed by the thunders OF
Mars, the war god. and apparently de-
termined to live up to the slogan,
business as usual or better" the
winged boy Cupid is daily going his
rounds in Washington. leaving a long
list OF welded couples in his wake,
and he bids fair TO make the year
1917 a record breaker.
August, usually a month OF poor
business everywhere, was an excep-
tionally good one for Cupid, as will be
seen by giancing at the records OF Col.
William A. Knoll, marriage license
clerk, who keeps in closer touch
with the doings Of Cupid than any
other person in Washington.
These records show that during
August 40 marriage licenses were
issued, which means that Cupid's
darts found double that number of
victims. For August, 1916. only 1923
licenses were issued, the gain for the
month being 1856. Not only for the
month OF August do the figures show
an increase, however, but for the en-
tire year 1917 to date. A total of 3,445
licenses have been issued by Colonel
Knoll during the present year. while
during the corresponding period in
1916, only 2,6S3 were issued. This
shows a total gain OF 1872.
Colonel Knoll believes that Mars
and Cupid are working hand in hand,
and that the increase is largely due
to the war.
As proof of this. he points to the
fact that the number OF licenses is
sued to men wearing uniforms has
been Constantly on the Increase ever
since April, and that recently almost
every other applicant has been a
soldier. The young officers just out
of the first officers training camps
are Cupid's best patrons, and scarcely
a day passes that three or four do
not visit Colonel Knoll.
