gassing to how thou art patriot. but at heart
be an anarchstic l. w. w. Nor shalt thou blow
about how thou woulds run the government. and

Marriage Bureau Breaks Record.
He is the same genial fellow all the
time. From the highest to the lowest.
they go away feeling that they have
been honored with the good luck wish
he extends TO all alike. and it's not
his fault Il any of them pick lemon
in the garden of love. because they
certainly get a good send-on when
the barrier goes up.
During his long term OF office Col.
Kroll has issued more than 1000 per
mits to di6erent pairs. granting them
the privilege Of indulging in welded
bliss or misery. as the case might be.
In that period the President Of the
United States and his two daughters
have applied for marriage licenses
through Chief Usher Hoover. Of the
White House. Foreign ambassadors,
various grades Of diplomats, dukes.
duchesses, counts, countesses. princes,
princesses. United States Senators.
Congressmen. judges Of all the higher
courts, and every race and nationality
have bean represented before the
throne over which Col Kroll presides.
Last year broke all records for the
number of licenses issued from the
local bureau, but 1918 bids fair to
eclipse this remarkable showing. Dur
ing 1917 exactly 5.S4l couples obtained
licenses to marry. For the first fVe
months Of that year lisa pairs were
thus honored, segregated as follows,
according to the record for each
month:
January. 9se; February. 2s6l March.
SO; April. 542; May, 42s.
The record for the same period dur
ing 1918 exceeds this by 365. with ex-
eeilent prospects for this rate to be
maintained throughout the year. For
the first five months in 1918 total
OF 2,257 licenses have been issued. di-
vided a follows:
January. AZ; February. az; March.
SIS; April. 409; May, 522.
Las year s44 licenses were issued in
June. but June this year came in like
a whirlwind, and has been keeping up
a phenomenal pace ever since. so it Il
safe to assume that more wedding
bells will ring this month than ever
heard before in any "June-Bride-
Month at the National Capital
1t has generally been supposed that
the war would have q tendency to
curtail marriages, but teh records do
not sustaii this theory. On the con-
tTary there is every reason to- think
that the sentiment of srife has been

matchmaking. and that martial airs
and military displays have done more
