NEW YEARS DAY IN CHINA
Occasion When Whole Country Is
Painted Red-Time When All
Debts Must Be Settled.

New Year is the national payday in
China. All accounts must be squared
up at that time, and the man who
can't raise money enough to pay his
debts has to go into bankruptcy. The
laws are such that the creditor can en-
ter the debtors house and take what
he pleases if there is no settlement
To prevent such action families club
together and make all sorts of com

utation of the clan. New Year is
great day for the pawnbrokers; their
shops are crowded with people who
want to redeem their best clothes be.
fore the New Year. There are crowds,
also, who want to pawn other things
in order to get money to pay their
debts. Pawnbrokers receive high rates
of interest, in which they are protect
ed by the government.
The Chinese paint the whole coun-
try red figuratively speaking, on New
Years day, in more senses than one.
Red is the color which with them de-
notes good luck and prosperity, and
all the New Year cards and invita-
tions are on paper of that color Every
child gets its New Years present
wrapped in red paper, and red inscrip-
tions are pasted over the doors of
the houses. These inscriptions bear
characters praying for good fortune,
wealth and happiness, and they are
posted on each side of the outer door
of tie houses. New pictures of Chi
nese generals are put on the front
doors and the houses are secured and
made clean.-Philadelph Inquirer.

weirdly incongruous way. Rogers
coat was still brightly speckled with
red, yellow and blue confetti; there
was a battered tin horn protruding
from one pocket, and particolored
fools cap made of tissue paper was
set rakishly askew on the bronze bust
of Beethoven on the piano.
In the hazily-recalled grotesquerie
of last nights Homecoming, Roger had
denuded himself progressively, be-
ginning with his shoes at the door,
his hat and waistcoat beside the
dresser; trousers and linen at the
foot Of the bed and, last of all, his
scarf tied in a beautifully neat bow
beneath the mob of the bedpost.
Roger sat up regarding all this
whimsically for some time and won

Roger dressed leisurely, not little

of the idea that really had been in

The cozy little dinner party was over.
Sister Madge and Phil-"Hub" she
patronizingly called him-were some

They had left Roger and his old chum
Betty alone tete-a-tete in the dimly

to be leased by the Davis Motor Car
company of this city, to permit a
necessary expansion of that thriving
and rapidly growing industry. This
report has not been confirmed, how
ever. George W. Davis, president of
the Davis company, said today that he
probably would have statement ready
for publication tomorrow. He did not
discuss what progress had been made
in the reported negotiations for the
local factory buildings of the Westcott
company.
The primary reason for the motor
car company's removal to Springfield,
it is stated, is to obtain increased facil-
tiles for production. In its effort to
keep pace with the demand for its
product, the Westcott company has
pushed the production facilities of its
Richmond plant to the limit; and, with
no room at its present site, it became
necessary to seek new location In
the last two years Westcott cars have
gained rapidly in popularity and dis
tribution has been extended to all
parts of the country.
