FIRST AID TO CUPID
IS COMING APRIL 9
War Threat May Bring Unusual
Number of loving Hearts on
"Matrimony Special"

Still unshaken in the belief that
'In the spring the young mans
fancy lightly turns" and so forth.
Mrs. C. H. Gill is coming to Wash
ington on April o.
Undoubtedly a great many other
persons are coming to the National
Capital that day, but their advent
will not attract the attention or be
fraught with the romantic signifi-
canoe which will characterize her
visit.
For. be 1t known now, il It Is not
already a matter of general informa-
tion, Mrs. Gill is first. aid to Cupid.
The initial c in in her name stands
for Cupid, What could be more
natural, therefore, than that the n
should stand for Hymen. Mrs. Gill
has been in partnership with the firm
many years. She is far from being
silent or inactive member of the
corporation which specializes in the
welding of hearts and the merging
of souls.
Date of Tour Significant.
In promoting the business of the
firm, Mrs. Gill, intends bringing to
Washington on April an entire
trainload of blushing brides and. hap
py grooms.
The date OF this tour OF "Cupid's Spe-
cial" is. significant. All good students
OF history will recall that on April O.,
1866. several thousand Southerners
surrendered at Appomatox. BY the
81 naNNA h
erners-either the brides or the
grooms, as you will-are going to
surrender in Washington, April o,
1917. The surrender here will mark
the end of many long sieges OF the
heart, the storming of affections and
the raking of sentiments with the
fire of love-the flames OF Eros, IL you
insist upon II.
April o. also is Easter Monday, OBJ
served as a holiday by many, but not
by Washington ministers or Colonel
Kroll, the marriage license clerk in
the City Hall, who attends to much of
the clerical work of the firm of
Cupid-Hymen & Co.
War Threat Increases Number.
The ministers and Colonel Krol.
the latter commanding the first line
OF defense, have been advised of Mrs..
GilTs coming, and already are re-
freshing themselves against the
fatigues of the ordeal OF tying more
matrimonial knots than you could
shake a stick at.
Mrs. Gill reports that because o.
the prosperity of the past year ana
the possibility of many of the men in
Virginia and nearby States being call
ed to the defense of their country In
the near future. the number OF per-
sons who have decided to trip along
life's flowery pathway together will
be more than usually large on
April Q.
Any profits accruing from the eN'
cursion OF "Cupid's Special" will go
to the Male Orphan Asylum, in Rich
mond, over which Mrs. Gill presides.

SHIPPERS TO FIGHT RAISE
Controversy Promised Over Propos
ed Increase In Rates.

Representatives of big shippers OF
the country already are arriving in
Washington, preparing to fight the
proposed advances in railroad rates
at every turn.
Indications point to another great
controversy. like the one caused by
the former advance rate case.
The shippers contend that the rail-
roads will by no means be as muc h
out OF pocket as they alIege because
of the eight-hour arrangement They
point out that the roads have had no
experience with the eight-hour sys-
tenn yet, but tn atinstead of waiting
to find out just what 1t costs them
they are seeking large rate increases
at once.
