NEW CARS SHOWN
AT ". Y. AUTO SHOW

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-More than
81, 10000 worth of motor vehicles
are on display at the .twenty-first
annual national automobile show
which opened here yesterday.
Three hundred machines OF
eighty-nine makes, in prices rang
ing from $1,000 to $4,000, repre-
sent a years development in the
second industry in the world.
Stream-line bodies running from
the radiator to the ,tonneau con-
tinue to be most popular. Maroon
and green are equally prominent
with the more conservative BLACK
and dark blue in vogue the last
season. Sport models of some of
the higher-priced machines have
bodies of polished and FURNISHED
metal in various striped designs.
Smaller motors seem to be IN
favor among the builders and
many novel features to get power
out of the reduced efficiency of
gasoline can be found on many of
the motors.

patches, the filibuster on the sub
JcCt in the chamber at the time of

which for the moment threatened

after heavy casualties, including the
downfall of War Minister Lefeyre,
This, in view of renewed anxiety

tion. 1t is generally conceded in
political circles that the Leygues
premiership has received its death
blow in severe assaults revealed
shortly before the Christmas holi-
days. and which began with the
resignation of Leygues.
The necessary decision on German

rather than Christmas Tor the physical

tianity the baptism appears to have
been looked upon as the true birth of
Christ, the moment when, filled by the
spirit, He became the Son OF God.
For some time the two events were
celebrated together on January 6.
Gradually the western church began

upon as the date for the Nativity. In
the East the celebration of the two

been Instituted. The Church of Jeru-

The Armenian church knows nothing
Of December %. and still celebrates

most probable Is that It is derived
