Getting License to
Wed Excites People

'Most persons are excited when
they fill out their marriage license
applications" asserted Mrs. Effie
Carter, deputy clerk, today when
she was puzzled over the names of
a prospective bride and bridegroom
attached to an application.
The application asked for the full
Christian and sir name of each ap-
plicant. The bridegroom filled out
the space with United Brethren"
and his bride "Methus Church"
IT suppose the word Christian con-
fused them" laughed Mrs. Carter
She also said a young man in his
haste to get license filled out the
side intended for the woman and
handed it in.
HE blushed when I told him that
he had filled out his sweethearts
side and that 1t Is the custom to
know something about ner, too"
said Mrs. Carter.

Hans Kruger, a commissioner Of
the German government. located at

in America several months to effect
the exchange for American holders.

John P. Frenzel Jr., Merchants

he did not recall seeing any of the
coupons going through the bank,

banker said he knew of about $780,.

converted.
Fred NJ. Dickson, Indiana Trust
Company president. said he knew of
no one holding German war loan
securities in Indianapolis. There
are only a few held here. The re-
valuation plan will profit Indian
apois persons little. If any," he said.
Spectators are left out under the
plan, because ownership before
