Curious Christmas Superstition,

On Christmas eve, at midnight, coun-
try people in England believe that the
Christ child revisits the earth. Some
times. therefore, If there is a sick
child in the house, the mother will
take the little one to the door, just be-
fore midnight, and, wait till the hour
strikes. If the child RECEIVERS, it is be-
cause the Babe OF Bethlehem has
touched it with healing fingers during
the earthward journey. But If the
child sickens and dies, all is well, for
the mother heart Is comforted by the
thought that the little one was called
by the Christ child to be his play.

The demand of Europeans for pOpu- lar-priced American automobiles con tinues to increase, according to G. w.. Bennett vice president of the Willys Overland Co, of Toledo, Ohio. Every day several Overland cars leave the Toledo plant, consigned to foreign deal CTS, and on February 2S a whole ship load started from New York City for Odessa, Russia.
 The OdeSSaer KOmmerZbank which in English means the Bank of Com merce of Odessa, recently asked for 8 Overlands, as the initial order for an agency they propose to establish in the Russian city. The cars were shipped from the factory to New York City at various times. the last of the cOnSign- ment reaching there February 23. It was found advisable to not ship the cars on several boats, because of un- certainty of delivery, and finally the steamship "Aristea' of the Cans line, solicited the shipment, agreeing to make a special trip to odessa The re- mainder of the "Aristea's" cargo was consigned to Lisbon, Portugal, but with the big Overland order as an incentive, the officials of the line decided to send her on to Odessa, several hundred miles farther
