MYTHS OF ChnioI IMAS SEASON
Among Some of Peasantry of France
is Belief That Bread Remains
Fresh Ten Years.

1AJT LEGENDS and myths without
ESSas number have become asso-
ciated with the celebration
~ of Christmas. Among some
of the peaSantry Of France
is strong belief that loaves Of bread
baked at Christmas will remain fresh
for ten years. 1t is also believed by
some of the simple folk that during
the whole of the Christmas holidays q
portion of bread should be left on the
table day and night because the Holy
Mother may come to share it. For
some reason not to be explained, there
is superstition among some French
peasant wives that no bread must be
baked between Christmas day and the
Feast of the Circumcision, because an
infraction of this rule will bring dis
aster on the household.
There is peasant belief of age long
standing that if the cattle on the farm
be given drink Immediately after the
midnight mass of Christmas their
health will continue good throughout
the year. Another belief is that If seed
of wheat be wrapped in a tablecloth
which has been used for Christmas
dinner, a profitable harvest will be
insured. Another strange belief is that
cold bath taken On Christmas day
will protect the bather against fevers
and toothache throughout the year.

years. They are often pressed

they're the same ones used
again and again. However, II

Harding Insists Only Public Be
Represented on Commission
of Inquiry.

Misunderstanding the senate h.

formal action toward creation Of q
coal fact finding commission as rec
commended by President Harding, the
president let it be known that he was
disposed to insist that the investigat-

impartial representatives of the pub
lie without special representation for
either mine operators or employees.
A bill for commission on which
the president would be free to choose
representatives Of the operators, min
ers or the public as he saw fit, was
favorably reported by the senate COM
mittee.
At the same time the house inter
state commerce commission, working
independently, refused to strike from
it's tentative bill provision which
would expressly prohibit membership
on the commission to any person hav-
ing any interest in or connection with
the coal industry.

Lessened by New Developments.

New York-Dissension in the ranks

ment of the shipments strike.
Carriers, composed mostly of east

the strike was about over as "propa-
ganda" and bunk"
L. F. Loree, president of the Della
ware and Hudson, pointed out that
the eastern executives had not reced-
ed from their stand on seniority. Loree
Is prepared to voice his opposition to
any settlement allowing the men their
seniority at the meeting at which a
committee headed by Dewitt Cuyler
will present the plan of peace offered
by the leaders of the big four brother
hoods.
Frederick D. Underwood, president
of the Erie, charges that the reports
of impending peace was propaganda
circulated by the strikers.
Both executives said their roads
were winning in the fight against the
strikers and that conditions would be
normal very soon.
