The Tribune the other day mentioned
County Clerk Joyce's report that there were twenty-three more marriage licenses issued In June a year ago than there were during the month Just
passed. The Evansville Journal says there was a decrease there of seventeen. Other newspapers Indicate that the question becomes a national one. New York issued 3,292 licenses, or 516 fewer than in 1914. In Chicago—where It is to be noted that a greater number •were married than in New Yoj^k—3,857 licenses were issued, as against 4,452 in June of last year. St. Louis shows |a. decline of 143, Issuing three fewer (licenses than did Cleveland. Detroit !was similarly afflicted.
Philadelphia and Milwaukee report 'more marriages than last year the 'Pennsylvania metropolis by a very small margin and the "Wisconsin city by a record-breaking number. This latter town, with Its large percentage of Oerman population, might offer a basis for comment it one could but get at the causes of Cupid's slump.
The European war and the bad "weather are both blamed for the phenomenon. It is hard to understand what the weather has to do with it. Marriages are usually arranged some time !ln advance of the ceremony and nobody could have prophesied the reimarkably disagreeable June that afjfllcted us this year. But Chicago could 'think of no other excuse. The license jclerk in the Windy City stated that jthe assortment of chilly, rainy days jfoisted upon him by the weather buIreau had chilled the ardor of matrimonial candidates and adversely affected his business. And that may have had something to do with the postponement of hastily arranged marriages. But Milwaukee's weather was •worse, if anything, than Chicago's.
It must be the war. The New York license clerk says: "We have noticed a great falling off in our foreign patrons. Lots of the young men have gone back to fight and those left behind in this country are sending their ^money to their poiverty-stricken relatives instead of setting themselves up
Jn housekeeping
HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?
Some of the members of the British cabinet are crying that the harm from the war outweighs the patriotic determination that originally started the fires and they imply that the country can call a halt and depend on some arbitration procedure to adjudicate the issues at stake. The protest that has met this view would seem to indicate that the peace party is not very numerous.
An Associated Press correspondent, returning to New York from the war front a few days ago, writes as follows: "That this is a war to a finish is a conviction that deepened with every 'hour spent in the war zone a war to a finish whether that finish be brought about by annihilation, exhaustion, or Absolute surrender, whether its duration be six months or six years. It is the same story on every side. For fifty gj years France has suffered the menace of the German advance, Alsace and
Lorraine have never ceased to be a bleeding wound in her -heart. She is determined at all costs to have her own again and to settle for all time the republic's boundaries. There can be no compromise, no talk of peace such measures would be merely bottling a
40 Ways to the California Expositions
Is the title of an attractive booklet lBBued by the Chicago & North Western By., which outlines in concise form fortr different attractive routes from Chicago to California, and shows plainly by a series of outline maps how you may visit both Expositions and see the grandest mountain ccenery and the localities most interesting to the sightseer enroute.
You should have this booklet to properly plan your trip to the Paciflo Coast and the California Expositions. It will save you time and money.

volcano the fires would burst out more furiously later. That is the unanimous verdict of the country."
Let it be remembered that for the same fifty years Germany has been preparing for the present crisis. The invasion of Belgium, the hoped-for destruction of Great Britain's sea power, these are but by-products of her natural enmity to France. It is this solemn and solid determination on either side back of all the elaborate, complicated equipment of modern war that drives the onlooker back to the old, old problem, "when an irresistible force meets an immovable body," etc. It would be a rash man who would attempt to say now how far off the end may be. Conservative thinkers in France and England hold it will be a matter of two or three years. There has been no war like this since the one known in history as the "Thirty Years War."
DO YOU DELIVER?
Mr. Guy Bogart in an interesting letter to the Tribune of life and events on the Pacafic coast recounts that in a small town near Los Angeles it seems that there flourishes a wonderful model grocery, run on the cafeteria plan. You help yourself, carry your own bundles and pay as you leave.
And, of course, you pay a great deal less than the price which Includes the salaries of clerks and the cost of delivery.
How- (very fine says the frugal woman who rails at the high cost of living. Why can't we have a cafeteria grocery in Terre Haute.
If it were no sooner said than done, with what enthusiasm would she rush off to the grocery and wait on herself, basket over her arm, and how many days, think you, would it be before she would turn again to the ever present telephone and put In her order at the old stand that sent the things for dinner to her door?
JACK OF ALL TRADES.
County Assessor Seeburger, in asserting the fact that if everyone was fair and honest about his tax returns the general burden would be less enormous on the majority, tells of the case of a progressive farmer who acquired an automobile and then refused to turn it in for taxation. And this is what the assessor found when he visited the farm to investigate the man's supposed delinquency.
The car had been stripped of everything but the engine, tank and rear rims. One rim was attached to a circular saw and the other to a cream separator. One of the boys had fitted the front wheels to a sulky and was breaking a colt, the speedometer telling him how fast the youngster trotted. The headlights were used to illumine the barnyard and the horn was rigged as a burglar alarm.
Was this an auto, or a miscellaneous collection of farming utensils? Or was the correspondent drawing on his imagination? At any rate, the country needs farmers of the type portrayed who recognize the superiority of mechanics over manual labor and aro ready to make gasoline do what sheer muscular strength did for previous generations.
So it Is not worth while to question the story. It possesses a moral quite independent of the question of tax dodging.
About 900 colors are known to dyers, and only 100 of these are made in the United States. One can't blame the women for hating a war that makes them get along with a measly hundred colors.
An eminent English novelist says there are 1,500,000 dogs In London, every one of which eats as much as a man. It begir.3 to look as if London was no place for a self-respecting dachshund.
Publicity agents are still busily tolling people to the western coast. Los Angeles reports that a large number of valuable moonstones have been washed up on the beach ry the recent high tides.
Taxpayer says his property valuations have diminished by reason of the traction company failing to build the new station. Castles in Spain were never so ethereal as terminal stations on Wabash avenue.
A Radcliffe girl wrote her answers in an examination test in 300 lines of very fair blank verse. And Tennyson smoked seven stroong cigars over a single couplet in "Maud."
It will be a dull summer in Haiti. Uncle Sam has stopped the street fighting, which is the principal Haitian outdoor amusement.
The weather man better remember that there are few of us equipped as was Noah.
SENT TO PENAL FARM.
Because he "forgetfully" appropriated to his own use some money which he took in for his employer, Tommy Sipes, saloonkeeper at Twelve Points, Ernest Anderson, colored, was fined $50 and given 180 days on the penal farm by Judge Newton in City Court Friday afternoon. He was charged with larceny, a bopc of cigars being the stolen property,.
EMPLOYES HOLD ANNUAL FIELD DAY
Five Special Cars Cany Happy Workers to Hulman Farm for Day of Enjoyment.
Five special cars filled with nearly 300 employes of the Herz stoi-e carried happy young women and men to the Hulman farm at 1 o'clock Saturday for their annual outing and field day. The store closed at noon so that all of the employes could g'et ready for the picnio. For the first time 3ince the Herz employes begun holding their annual picnic the scene of the outing was away from Chelsea park.
Baseball such as played only by the Herz leaguers will feature the nay's program. The Speed Boys and the Ramblers were the teams scheduled to play. Of course "Efoc" Allen, the veteran umpire, was to officiate at the contest. Rules were adopted prior to the game barring all catch-as-catch-can plays. This is expected to make the contest extremely interesting.
For the youn£ and old folks a program of dances was arranged for the afternoon and evening. The lake on the farm also was expected to be popularized during the day.
At six o'clock the picnic crowds will be treated to a genuine Herz supper with red lemonade and peanuts. The return- trip will be made in the evening.

Sunday, July 11, 1915.
This is not an important day in the guidance of the stars. Early in the morning Mars is slightly favorable in influence, but Saturn is in evil place later.
The war outlook should be slightly better, so far as the neutral nations are concerned. There is, however, a warning sign for Switzerland.
On this day energy, ambition and confidence are believed to be imparted by the rule of the stars and persons born between March 21 and April 19 should benefit particularly.
The day should be lucky for athletes, soldiers and all who guard human life. Saturn gijves warning that the aged will suffer much in the next few weeks, when illness to which they are subject will be prevalent. The death rate will increase greatly and men of prominence will succumb.
Ancient lore found this rule good for fishing. It is also a lucky time for giving informal entertainments.
Italy has the prognostication of serious conditions in the early autumn. Bereavement in the royal family is indicated.
Greece continues to be subject to a sway fairly fortunate. A period of prosperity that is phenomenal is prophesied for it after the European war.
Next month is read as a time of great importance for the king of Sweden, who will gain popularity.
Persons whose birthdate It is may have many troubles in the cojning year. They should take care of the health.
Children born on this day probablj1 will possess talent and the power to win friends. They may have a tendency to be careless and may like to evade responsibility. These subjects of Cancer often are adventurous travelers.

ERRE HAUTE TRIBUNE
OHIO STREET PROPESTY I
New Assessment Will Show General Advance in Business District Along Street
Owing to the fact that some of the lots on Ohio street are now the full depth the board of review made some changes In the schedule of assessments which had been decided upon previously to charge by the front foot. The ground and improvements will be assessed by the square, with variations in the amount charged per square foot, according to the location of *he ground.
The action was taken by the board following some complaints received from owners of property along Ohio street. One complaint said while there was no objection to a raise in Ohio street values providing a proportionate raise in Wabash avenue property values, yet in fact Ohio street property had not raised in value in the past year. The complaint said it was not believed the property had raised $50 in value pel* front foot in the last year. The board claims that the place from which the complaint had been made had not been raised in assessment $50 a front foot but $42 a front foot, yet the complaint raised the point of assessing lots such as these by the square foot.
Louis Seeburger, president of the board, said: "I believe the method of assessing irregular lots by the square foot instead of the front foot will greatly facilitate the board in making a just equalization of property assessments. I am of the opinion that when the state board of tax commissioners meets next year this matter will be brought up. In Chicago and larger cities this is done with great success."
Ohio Street Assessments. The Joseph Strong property at Sixth and Ohio streets was assessed at $2.21 a square foot. The Star property on the opposite corner was assessed at $1.61 a square foot. The Beach block on the northeast corner of Sixth and Ohio streets was assessed at $1.51.
The Swope building at Seventh and Ohio streets, which was first assessed according to the values on Seventh street, was transferred to Ohio street and assessed at $2 a square foot, while the Indiana building across the street south was assessed at $1.71 a square foot. The Hippodrome theater property was assessed at $1.43 a foot
The height of the buildings had much to do with the amount of the assessment. The board took into consideration the size of the lot and the amount of floor space which was used for renting.
Saturday morning W. C. Ball, president of the board of directors of the Rose Polytechnic institute, appeared before the board with a drawing and description of the plot of ground on their farm east Of the city which they wish exempted from taxation. The institute is allowed 40 acres of the 120 acre farm to be exempted and the site asked for exemption is where the buildings and improvements now on the farm stand and is where »the new school buildings or tho most of them will be situated. The institute was assessed at first on the entire piece but this will be changed.
PLANS BIG UNDERSEA FLEET.
Building Program For Navy to Include Thirty War Divers. WASHINGTON, July 10.—The next building program for the United States navy will include estimates for nearly double the number of submarines appropriated for by the last Bession of congress. From officials in close touch with the administration's plana for the navy It was learned today that while the general board would wait until September before making its recommendations, at least thirty and probably more submarines certainly would be requested.
The last congress in three sessions authorized twenty-six submarines, and the United States has a total now of nearly seventy in commission or building. Within two years the total, it is estimated, may be brought up to 100 undersea craft.
Secretary Daniels, it is understood, favors a large building program, believing that in the development of the efficiency of the submarine arm lies the most Important task of the navy today.
LAYMEN GIVE TALKS.
An innovation in church work wil} be begun Sunday, July 18, at the Mat-i tox Methodist church, Fourth avenue and Sixth and One-half street, when a series of short talks will be given by the laymen on "Church IHHclency." The talks will be preliminary to the sermons.
EXTEND DAVIS GARDENS.
The Da^ls Garden company has let contracts for two new hot houses, 600 feet long by 70 feet wide and these will be devoted to lettuce and tomato culture. Five more houses will be built next year.
LEASE WHITE BUILDING.
The firm of Shatsky Bros, has leased the old Sam Goodman room at Fifth and Wabash avenue and will move Into it September 1. The lease is for five years at $175 a month. The Oberman company, the last tenant, paid $230 a month.

ITCHING ON FACE
Large and Inflamed. Nearly Crazy. Disfigured Terribly. Face a Mass.
HEALED BY CUTICURA SOAP AND OINTMENT
•"I was troubled with an itching on my face which broke out in pimples. The pimples festered and were large and inflamed. I scratched and irritated them till they nearly set me crazy. The breaking out disfigured me terribly, and Itched nearly all the time. My face was simply a mass of sore pimples. I was troubled for about a year or more. "I tried Soap and Ointment, and it didn't do me any good. Then a friend told me to try Outicura Soap and Ointment. I sent for a free sample and bought some more. I received quick relief and now I am completely healed." (Signed) Miss Effle M. Rine, Bremen, Ohio, Jan. 19,1915.

OAKLAND, Cal., July 10.—Recommendations that the Baptist Young People's Union of America, now in convention here, be divided to allow the formation of a northern union, were struck from a committee report after delegates from all parts of the United States had expressed themselves as against keeping alive forgotten issues and had voted to keep the national body intact.
