duction in the number of marriage
licenses issued since August / when

RENSSELAER, FALLS, N. Y.
Aug. 10.-Two years after he had
voluntarily resigned captain &
commission in the Maryland Ma
tional Guard, Joseph c. Cissel. AZ
of Silver Spring, Md, lawyer and
former States attorney of Mont
gomery County, is back as a private
in the Service Company of the 1st
Maryland Infantry-the company
he once captained.
The story of his return as a
buck private in the ranks" was
related by his commanding officer,
Capt. Ward Caddington, former
member of the Board of Supervisors
of Elections of Montgomery County
While Pvt. Cissel, prominent at
torney and regarded by his supe-
rior as a fine soldier, was busy OBJ
tanning food and other supplies at
the Rensselaer, Falls railroad sta
ton, Capt Caddington explained
the former company commander,
his predecessor, had given up the
company captaincy 10 years ago
to join the staff of Col. John D.
Markey, commander of the 1st
Maryland, as regimental adjutant.
HE wanted to come to camp this
year, so he re-enlisted as a pri-
vate," said Capt. Caddington. He
intends to remain in the ranks If
the Guard is mobilized.
Furthermore" added the captain
"he knows the ropes and that makes
him a very valuable man in the
company"
Pvt. Cissel served in the Maryland
Guard unit from its reorganization
in 1920 until 1888.

Toximon Escapes
Poisoned Gin, but
PASSENGER Dies

Turning down a drink of gin dur
ing working hours can make a man
feel virtuous. Especially poisoned
gin.
George Thompson, IS, colored,
taxi driver who lives at 919 Forty
fifth place NE, picked up colOred
passenger in the 1900 block of U
street NV.
The passenger offered him a drink
OF gin as they rode along, but
thompson shook his head, assumed
a beatific expression, and drove on.
The passenger worked on the bottle,
however. as they proceeded toward
the Northeast section.
Suddenly the passenger began to
show effects which could not be at
tributed merely to cheap gin. They
stopped at hospital, but the lass
enger perked up and continued the
journey.
He asked to be let out in the 600
block Of N street NV. Police found
him there little later, took him to
Gallinger Hospital, where he died
at 2 pm. He was identified as Ed
ward D. Bell, "a, of the 1900. block
OF Meade place NE.
Doctors at the hospital said there
may have been some gin in the
bottle but it was mostly carbolic
acid.

Six Virginia Bridges
On Defense Blacklist
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 10.-Vir-
ginia officials reported today that
only 6 of the 1000 bridges which
the National Defense Commission
said must be strengthened to ac-
commodate heavy military equip
ment we're located in the Old Do
minion.
The super-heavy tanks expected
to be produced in this country soon
led to the survey of the bridge stu
alton.
Width constituted bigger bridge
problem in Virginia than does in
adequate strength, and between IS
and 80 of the narrower spans may
have to be remodeled to overcome
the deficiency.
Oficials did not disclose the To-
cation of the deficient structures.
but did make known that careful
study of bridges along certain stra-
tegic highways in the State was
now under way under the direction
Of the State Highway Department
in cooperation with the Federal
Public Roads Administration.
Officials estimated changes which
may be required in the few in
stances in Virginia could be ef-
fected within few weeks.
