German tradition, however, per-

the Christmas tree to Martin Luther.
he was travelling alone over the snow
covered country and was deeply i'm
pressed by the contrast it made with
the star-bespangled heavens. On ar

plain this impression to his wife and
children. Suddenly an idea occurred
to him. He went into the garden, cut
off little fir tree. dragged it into the
nursery, put some candles on it's
branches and lighted them.
One of the most popular of German
prints represents Martin Luther sit.

a lighted Christmas tree in front OF
him.

AUTO WITH KITCHEN ANNEX
In Which Negro Chef Prepares Lunch
con While Going Thirty Miles
an Hour.

A sensation was created the other day
on the Pelham Bay road by touring
car that had a kitchen annex. While
the machine was merrily bowling along
at some 80 miles All hour negro chef
prepared luncheon over a little Oil or
possibly electric stove. reports the New
York Sun.
Spectators laughed and cheered; small
boys ran after the auto. 1t seemed
either the limit Of human progress or the
quintessence OF American hu7nor.
The car was light green. inclosed with
glass as to front and sides. Three men
and three women passengers sat on the
side seats facing one another.
Between them narrow folding table
that had been lately used as card table
and a phonograph stand was set with
plates. cups. knives and forks. The
table had racks like those used on ship
board to keep the dishes from joltlng
away.
The kitchen was folding sort OF boX
that hung over and projected from the
tail of the car. 1t was just big enough
to contain the small stove AID an ar

The negro chef. belted at the waist
and securely strapped, stood on the

The tourists did not seem to see any

slowed down they unfolded their nap

A rich boarding house aroma mingled
with a smell of gasoline and the fiowery
