678 LICENSES
TO WE'D ISSUED
DURING AUGUST
Record for Year to Date
Also Exceeded
by 7R.

All records for the number Of mar
riage licenses issued during August
were broken yesterday when the local
marriage license bureau went "over
the top" with SIS new permits to wed.
granted during the month Just closed.
Not only that. but this year prom
ises to eclipse any previous year In
the total number Of marriage licenses
issued. the aggregate for ISIS at the
close of business last night being f.lsl.
as against 3.445 for a corresponding
time in 1911. The monthly totals for
the two years follows:
Last year: January, ees; February.
2s6; March. ss2; Apri. So; May. 42S:
June. 644: July. 40; August. Hs: total
for first eight months in 1911. 3s445.
This year: January. 81; February.
417;, March. 365; April .i99; May, 522;
June. 6S6; July. SO. August. SIS: total
for first eight months in 1913. 4.ls1.
/, In view Of the fact that 1917 broke
all previous records for the number
of licenses issued from the local
bureau. the showing for 1913 thus far
Is remarkable. The lead this far over
the preceding year Is TAG.
War stirs Sentiments.
Various reasons have been assigned
for this increase. the most obvious OF
which Is the fact that the population
OF Washington has grown. Then
again this country Is at war. and war
like conditions are said to develop
romance and sentiment to q marked
degree. and they in turn eliminate In
matrimony.
Some e.have even hinted that It is
Col william A. Krolfs great person
al popularity that has been the draw
ing card for so many marriages than
usual here. He Is the official cupid"
Of the marriage license desk. and Is
said to possess such winning ways
with the newlyweds that they scatter
his fame broadcast, with the result
that young couples flock to Washing
ton from surrounding cities for the
privilege, OF receiving his customary
blessing whenever a marriage license
Is issued from his desk.

Fairyland Is In grave danger Of
being invaded and destroyed by
grown-ups. That Is the rumor that
IL flying about Kiddieland. its pow
erful ally.
There are some grown-ups who
charge that Fairyland Is invidiously
pro-German and as such should have
no place in. the sun or even moon
or starshine.
Specifically. the charge Is that
most fairy tales have not only Ger
man sponsors but are murderously
cruel Grimms Fairy Tales. they say,
are particularly Hunnish in their
character. Their enemies say that
they are made up OF ghoulish plots,
Of children being mistreated by
harsh stepmothers. of their being
turned over to peasants to slay, of
their being seized by wolves, OF their
being changed into animals or birds,
of hags that cut them into bits or
thrust them irto ovens and cooked
them for gingerbread.
; That Wicked Wolf.
They bring to mind the sad fate
of poor little Red Riding Hood. who
after discovering that her grand
mother had been eaten by the wolf
shared the same fate herself. The
character of the Giant in Jack the
Giant Killer Is referred to especial
ly for his propensity for drinking
blood of little children. Cinderel-
las sufferings at the hands of her
cruel stepmother are brought out.
These are but few of the charges
that are made by some grown-ups
who insist that a land whose in
habitants are so cruel Is not fit TO
be. visited by wee tots.
The tiny tots are not going to
give up their Fairyland without a
powerful struggle. And you know
there is sometimes powerful
strength in dimpled fingers. Also
they have found valiant ally in
the person of Miss Clara Herbert.
Miss Herbert is the children's
librarian at Public Library. She
says in the defense of Fairyland:
TN Fairyland the virtuous always
triumph. Justice never miscarries
in that country. 1t teaches children
the value of all the virtues uncon-
sciously. They learn kindness to
animals, respect for old age. unself-
ishness, endurance and all the
others. Consider how the virtue OF
endurance is brought out in the
story of the sister who does not
speak for seven years so that her
seven brothers shall be freed from
imprisonment.
Not Merely German.

so well are not German fairy tales

manner:
Six per cent. on the frst $4,000.

$500. SIS; making a total Of all these
amounts of $685.
A single man will have an ex-
emption OF $1,000 as contrasted with
the $4,000 exemption allowed mar
ried men. For each child in fam
lily there will be allowed an addf-
tional exemption of $500. So IL the
man with a $4,000 income has two
children he will pay on only $500

man with the same income will pay
