French Cars Are
Better Advertised
Americans Have Hard Time Intro
ducing Cars in France-WIll
Advertise Their Product
(By Isaac Gregg

Washington, Oct. 31.-AccOrding
to a report received at the Depart
ment OF Commerce French manufac-
turers are putting on the market a
number of cars which sell from a.
600 to 10000 francs. These cars
are widely advertised and very we'll
known and while American made
cars are selling for similar prices
undoubtedly outclass the French cars
both in appearance and in perform
ance, in the Calais district dealers
feel that they are greatly handicap
ped in introducing an unknown and
unadvertised American car. Ameri-
can Consul Davis suggests, therefore
that if possible, liberal trems should
be granted allowing sufficient time
to demonstrate the car as well as ad-
vertise it thoroughly.
Motor vehicles with a short wheel
base are much preferred in Habana,
owing to the narrowness of the
streets. Cars with a wheel base Of
40 inches cannot be operated in
some of the financial sections of the
city Quick starting ability is an
important feature owing to congested
traffic conditions.

Halloween Stage
Bids Fair For Fun
Thanksgiving Real Note in Grotesque
Festiyal-Spirits May or May
Not Get You

Down to earth tonight will be call
ed all the gnomes, wizards, witches
and every species of the evil genii and
they will gather for one great final
farewell festival and frolic before
they are finally condemned to spend
the rest of their wicked existence
locked in the bodies of some uncouth
animal. They will raise thunder" +"
! according to advance information.
Today All Hallows Eve, is a celebra-
ton that has been handed down to
the present day generation by the old
Druid priests of England and has
for its purpose about the same as
Thanksgiving. The ancient Druids
at this time of the year were wont, in
the olden days, to build bonfres to
! the great Sun-god in thankfulness
for the harvest. 1t was their belief
that on the eve of All Saints Day the
sun-god gathered together all the
wicked souls which had been con-
demned and it was in this way that
the tradition has been handed down
to the present generation.
The wicked tonight will get all
those they may and will play havoc
with anything that crosses their path.
AS in the olden times, gates will be
unswung and everything that is loose
will suffer some playful injury.
When old Sol sinks reluctantly be-
hind Shooters hill the frolic will be-
gin and will last far into the "wee
sma' hours" of the morning-that is
if the history of the past bears any
light on the future.
Already many parties and ban
quets have been given but tonight
will mark the staging of many more
elaborate costumes parties. The street
will appear ghostly and the thousands
who parade them will have absolute
ly no conscience and will do their
best to put their fellowmen into some
little innocent discontinue.
This is the time of year that proves
especially profitable to the manufac-
turer Of paper novelties and the sales
man of disguises. Humans like to
disguise for some unknown reason
and at this time of the year only a
few of the more sophisticated person>
alities remain as they are throughout
the balance of the year.
Many great games have been ar
ranged especially for the benefit or
of this grotesque celebration for the
traditions of the Druids have in some
way been mixed with the ancient fes>
tival of Pomona which for hundreds
of years has been celuebrated by the
Romans. One game particularly was
taken from this Latin festival. 1t
is the game of bobbing apples This
is a dangerous game-for those who
are blessed, or otherwise, with ko-
man noses.
The Roman celebration was in honor
of Pomona. goddess of fruits and
gardens and in this matter was Just
another form of our present day
Thanksgiving.
The encyclopedia gives no more
data on this great occasion but
fair conclusion is that when every
one is happy and carefree they had
better keep half an eye that the gop,
Inns. witches and various other evil
spirits do not get them.
