each person can use this symbol of
patriotism in a different fashion. The

Marriage Licenses Are
Breaking All Records
Marriage license records bid fair to
be shattered this 'month in Douglas
county.
More than 200 certificates have
been issued in the fifteen working
days of the month, as against 179
licenses for April last year. The
greatest number of licenses issued in
any one month in the history of the
county was in June, 1916, There were
331 licenses.
The unprecedented demand for the
legal permits to wed is traced, of
course, to the desire of so-called
slackers to marry and get without the
pale of the possible military draft.
The majority of the 200 prospective
bridegrooms applying at marriage
desk thus far in April have been be
tween the ages of 20 and 25.'
Monday witnessed the record day
of the rush, twenty-three couples ob
taining licenses.

Silver Cleaning
If a person indulges in silver clean
ing onre m a rare while as a novelty,
the ju! hasva real fascination, for I
believe all of us enjoy the transforma
tion of a dark unlovely bit of silver
into a shining, clean thing of beauty.
However, the" novelty is apt to wear
off and then the work of cleaning sil
ver it no longer a pleasure, but a
task to he nccoinpllshetr with the
least expctiiiure of time and energy.
the simplest method of saving time
and energy is by carefully arranging
the apparatus for work. See that your
hands do not cross and recross each
other in reaching for cloth cleaner,
etc, A little care once will show you
the easiest method of work.
The old-fashioned method, which
is still the only method of polishing
proper, is to rub the silver with tome
finely divided material and finish the
process with a sou cloth, larnish on
metal is a cli niical compound of the
njetal with some gaseous substance
round i in the air, or with a solid or
liquid with which it has come in con
tact. Thus copper tarnish is partly
copper carbonate from the carbo i
dioxide of the air. This substance is
soluble in dilute acids such as fruit
acids; hence a tarnished copper kettle
should never be used for preserving
or other cooking. Silver tarnish is
a compound of silver and sulphur,
from sulphur gases in the air or sul
phur compounds such as food protein
(eggs particularly), vulcanized rubber,
bleached or dyed cotton goods, etc.
The tarnish is deposted on the metal
as a thin film. If the film clings close
ly. it acts as a protection to the metal
after a while, and no further tarnish
ing occurs.
In the old-fashioned method of
cleaning silver, mentioned above, this
film of tarisli was mechanically re
moved by rubbing, just as one scrubs
any smooth surface. The substances
used for rubbing are whiting, rouge
and putty powder. Rotten stone, also
called tripoli, is good for metals other
than silver and aluminum.
To aid this mechanical rubbing the
polishing powder may be mixed with
an oil or grease to form a paste, like
many of our commercial pastes. Fur
ther action may. be secured by using
an alkali such as ammonia, or an acid
such as sour milk, lemon juice or vine
gar, with the powdered stuff. The
alkali used dissolves any grease on
the silver and ammonia dissolves tar
nish on copper, nickel, brass and
bronz. Acids dissolve tarnish on sil
ver, copper and brass. ,

cally than others; that is, they will
unite chemically more quickly. It
happens that silver is inactive com
pared with zinc or aluminum. Hence
when tarnished Silver comes in con
tact with a more active metal, the
tarnish dissolves and dissociates and
the pure silver, if it is deposted back
on the original spoon or whatever
is being cleaned. Thus no silver is
lost.
The practical application of this bit
of chemistry is what is called the Sil
ver Pan method ,of cleaning silver.
There are various patent silver pans
on the market, most of which are
satisfactory. They are all fairly ex
pensive; and a home made pan will
answer every purpose. There are two
possible kinds of home made arrange
mentsan agate, or granite pan with
scrap zinc at the bottom, or an alumi
num pan. tither is tilled with water
containing one teaspoon each salt and
either washing or baking soda to
every quart of water. The silver to
be cleaned is placed in contact with
the zinc or the bottom of the alumi
num pan and allowed to boil one min
ute, or longer if the tarnish is very
heavy. The solution may be boiling
when the silver is put in it. The ef
fect is magical. The tarnish disap
pears and the silver comes out clean,
though not bright. The polishing
must be done with a toft cloth, but
the process it considerally short
ened. Originally the claim was made that
the Silver Pan would polish, but the
home made ones, at least, do not bear
out that claim. Sometimes a little
whiting may be added to the solution
m the pan, so that the silver comes
with a thin film of whiting which aids
in the polishing. An aluminum pan
may be slightly more efficient, though
theoretically there should be no dif
ference, but aluminum pans are ex
pensive and the pan ' darkened dur
ing inc process. 11 muse oe cleaned
after using. The zinc becomes inef
fective after a while, but scrap zinc is
cheap, and the granite pan is not hurt.
If large pieces of silver are to be
cleaned, so large that the solution will
not cover them completely, they may
be placed in the solution and turned
until every part has been covered.
This method of cleaning is very satis
