AUTOS IN STATE
Fee May Be Raised by Next
Legislature - Indiana
Revenue Low.

More than 100000 passenger cars
and over $4,000 motor trucks have
been licensed in the State OF Indiana
In 1922, H. D. McClelland Of the State
automobile licensing department, said
today The total Of both passenger
cars and trucks, officials believe, will
come near reaching the half-nlillion
mark before the end Of the year, as
the present rate indicates an increase
Of between 5000 and 10000 monthly.
McClelland. in discussing the pres
ent automobile tax. said that aproN-
mately IS per cent Of all cars fall
within the twenty-five horse power
class, which tax is fixed at IS. Indi-
ana. he said, was one Of tho lowest
States in point Of auto tax and point
ed to the recent engineering changes
which have had a notable effect on
the revenues.
May Increase Fees
An increase in the auto license fees
for Indiana is expected to be taken up
by the next general assembly, as the
State highway commission, as well as
tax experts has made an exhaustive
SLUQN Ol lIlE GALN1kiO4 Win u Wow
to supporting a bill authorizing IN
crease.
Practically the entire supply or
1928 license plates for distribution
after Dec. IS are on hand. The new
plates viii be Of the same material,
twenty gauge steel, with brown back
ground and white figures and letters.
The plates are made by the National
Colorotype Company Of CoWngtOn,
KY, at q cost Of $1095 a hundred
pair.
The State licensing department in
1923 will have ninety agencies
throughout the State for the distI1bu-
ton Of plates. During the rush
weeks at the first of the year the de-
partment has, in the past, been unable
to give prompt service and as a re-
suit stations in various counties were
established to facilitate delivery. By
this means persons IN any part Of the
State making application through a
notary public may have their plates
within a very short time.

Cards bv the Thou.and..

More Christmas cards, probably. were posted by Dr. Theodore Maxwell of Woolwich, than by any one indi- vidual, says London Answers.
 He had been engaged for a long time in medical missionary work in India, and for some years before his death, which took place in 1914, he made a hobby of printing these cards In various languages, and sending them all over the world to people who he thought would appreciate them.
 Altogether he sent out, during the last ten years of his life, some 90.O00 cards, inscribed with seasonable greetings In more than 30 different languages and dialects, and mostly printed by his own hand.
 For several years past a charitable lady residing in New York has posted 5000 Christmas cards to as many poor children; and there is a phllan- thropic society, whose headquarters are in South London, which annually dispatches between 30O00 and 10000 Christmas cards to prisoners all over the world. ." ...s.-'F

More than 10,0oO,OO0 letters were carried by the post office air mail serv. ice in the third quarter of 1921.

 There are three stages in a mans infatuation for A woman: Making hts way, having his way and going his way"
 "The reason that a love affair so sell dom ends happily is that one of the lovers Is generally unwilling for 1t to end at all" r.,
 Tt Is probable that If a woman can not see the point of her husbands jokes she will see very little indeed of him."
 "A woman cares most for a man when their love affair Is over ;. 8 man cares most for a woman before their love affair has begun"
 Tt is the man who has no right who generally comforts the woman who has wrongs" .,.
 Tt Is more or less true that an at- tractive woman has no friends. The men are more and the women less"
 oddly enough, the woman who looks most self-possessed generally be- longs to some man."
 "Men always say that they loathe being fiattered, but don't take any no- tice-no man has ever known that he was fiattered."-From ''Tattlings," by Sidney Tremayne.

Document of Wonderful importance, ., If Genuine, Is Hidden Some
 where In City of Rome.

Somewhere secreted In Rome is a document that if genuine, is to Chris tian people the most interesting and impressive legal document in the world.
 It is the death warrant, served on Jesus Christ, and rendered by Pon- tius Pilate, acting governor of Lower Galilee, stating that Jesus of Naza- reth shall suffer death on the cross.
 In 1910 workmen, while excavating in the ancient city of Amiternum (now 0Qulla) in the kingdom of Naples, found an antique vase in which lay concealed a copper plate, bearing on one side long inscription in the He- brew tongue-this, when translated, was said to be the death warrant of Jesus. ...#s..s. lt On the reverse side were these words, "A similar plate be sent to each tribe" -.,,-.

 It was also stated that Jesus should go out of the city of Jerusalem by the gate of Struenus.-Los Angeles Times.

WITTY WITcH's PARTY
"WARY GRAHAlH BONNER

The trees around were all dressed In their best gowns which the dress. maker, Madame Fresh Snow, had just finished for them. She had sent these gowns by her messengers, the trusty Snowfakes. j.-.... .'....
 "You know" said one of them, i've were a little bit insulted and hurt the other day because one of the fairies came up here to see one of us be cause she said there was an expression about being up a tree' .-
 "She had wanted to have joke for the party and so she had said she was up tree and didn't know whether to go to the fancy dress party or not be, cause she only had her regular dress on. .t.... ...s
 "We were quite insulted for a time as it seemed to us it was quite a dread. full way for folks to regard us, as though we were such uncertain, pug. zling creatures. And as though we never had any minds of our own. ?
 But 1t has been explained to us since by the Fairy Princess Twilight Bell and so now we understand that there is no insult in it to us and we're very thankful and feel quite all right.
 "To show how happy we feel again we've. got these new gowns. from Madame Fresh Snow, aren't they lovely" T.. !. Lovely, lovely" said Witty Witch. And now all my guests are coming to the party. Later on we're going to get inside my dear home hut and I've built some snow castles about with snow roofs and we're going to look out of the windows made by the Icicle brothers at the late visitors. .# .
 "The windows are very thin and well made. They're not so thick we can't see out of them.
 And the late visitors are going to be Prince Sleet and some of that jolly old crowd.
 "I expect to have my guests watch a most beautiful winter storm.
 "Ah, here come my guests. Before they arrive at my door l want to tell you, Trees. that I'm giving an enter. tainment for them"
 AHc SuSSIS dli dTrlfSu anu BT6eIeu Witty Witch with smiles and bows and cries of joy.
 Were going to have an entertain ment at the party" said Witty Witch and all the guests clapped their hands with joy and cried out:
 'Hurrah !"
 They went into Witty Witch's hut and,through a snow tunnel to the most enormous snow castle where chairs were arranged for all.
 ''You will see" said Witty Witch, cthe entertainment which I have air ranged for you. You will see some of the old sayings acted out"
 A stage was before them and the curtain now was being raised They saw many many gnomes dressed as

cocks with great white caps and great white aprons. They were stirring an enormous cauldron which had some thing very hot In 1t by the look of the smoke which came out. All the cooks were pumping into each other and each was trying to tell the other what to do. There was no order and there was nothing but confusion. And above was large sign which read:
 "Too many cooks spoil the. broth r" And as the guests were 'clapping. all spoons they had been stirring the broth with and cried:
 Tt is quite spoilt, there Is no use in doing anything now"
 Then they saw the curtain lowered and in another moment it was raised again and there were many children | sitting in front of huge dishes of food. Their eyes were as enormous as could be and their mouths looked very small | Over them sign read, Their eyes were bigger than their mouths" For they had thought they would be able to eat more than they found they could. ..-...
 Again the curtain was lowered and again it was raised. s.. ..
 This time they saw great many 1 people smiling and laughing and In the distance. from where they had come, were many bridges. ."
 "We didn't worry or cross our bridges until we came to them," they cried, land so we didn't waste our time worrying but went ahead and when we came to them they weren't bad at all I' ..r --.-
 And so the entertainment went on, winding up with a glorious winter storm which they all watched as they sat and ate a delicious supper which Witty Witch had prepared for them.

Little People" Have Sway Over
 s1Stream in Ireland.
Waterway In County Fermanaqh Avoided by the DweIIers Near lt
 Because of old Superstition.

Up in County Fermanagh, in the northern >part of the Emerald isle, there is dark, deep, silent stream, which winds its way some 15 miles or more through a picturesque coun- try. It Is called the Sheelees, or the Stream of the Fairies, and there are many tales and legends told concern Ing 1t. 1t rises near the little village of Derrygonnelly. its source being a small lake called Bunahone. Its course lies between the picturesque noun tains of Bo and beautiful level -coun- try on Its other bank called the Golden plain. The wild sedge grows down to Its very waters, and above 1t the cur lew sends out his eeriey call in the hush of the evening. But beautiful as the stream may look to visitors, 1t is summed by the country folks who live in Its viciniy.o Tradition says that at one time the little fairy people placed curse upon, 1t and from that time on death and disaster have come out of It's treacherous waters many times. There are few who care to wander along it's banks for ,fn the minds of all who know there always fingers the old saying that has been handed down Srom sire to son for many years: s-,
 Bad shall 1t be for fish and fishing
 Good shall 1t be for drowning, is' , Always unlucky shall 1t be to meddle
 with.
 There Is strange peculiarity about the river, and that Is that 1t runs in an apparently uphill course. The legend that accounts for this freak of nature Is as follows: One day Saint Faber was fleeing from her enemies along the river bank. In her haste she dropped one of her precious books in the water Deeply grieved over her loss, she raised her staff over the stream, and instantly the waters turned backwards in their course, and her precious book was restored to her.
 Time and again various attempts have been made to drain this treach- erous stream, which very often over flows its banks and does considerable hah0bC lo IhC AdA hlStc th0 But always, disaster and death have followed those who have meddled with the stream. At the last attempt made such series of accidents and deaths befell those who undertook the project that 1t probably will bes'a long time before the thing Is brought up again. Even those who are most injured by the streams vagaries, the farmers whose lands are so often flooded, will now have nothing to do with the drain ing of the Sheelees, preferring financial loss rather than incurring the enmity of the Little People.
 And so today the Stream of the Fairies pursues its crooked, treacher- ous course, at places shining. like a dazzling silver ribbon in the sunshine, at other parts lying in deep, dark, treacherous pools, waiting for an un- wary one whose feet might step be- yond the rank sedge that lines its banks. And tradition has 1t that very often under cover of the night the Little People dance for Joy upon its dark, mystic waters, rejoicing in the fact that the stream has kept its faith with them.-Kunsas City Star. ...
