1T is a rather general belief all

all the eggs viii hatch roosters. The
reason for this piece Of hen-yard
superstition-the hen-yard seems to
be place especially haunted by

clature we still dedicate the first day
Of the week to the sun god-it Is still

so the cock became associated with
the sun in all the old nythologies. 1t
is true that this bird was a. favorite
sacrifice to Aesculapius. the god OF
medicine, hut that was because Aes-
culanius was the son of Apollo, who
represented the misunderstanding

power and WINS often identified with

LASALLE AUTO
One YEAR old
Dealers Celebrate An
niversary of Car


The week Of March 3 to 10 will be
marked by Charlottesville distribu-
tors and dealers throughout the
United States as the first anniver-
sary Of the announcement or the
new LaSalle car. With an open-housc
celebration Of the event will be COM
bined a Charlottesville spring show
ing. As a result OF recent additions
Of new body styles to both lines or
cars, and on account Of the new
vogue in body lines introduced in
both cars, displays in local show
looms are expected 10 be the most
varied and most interesting In the
compnny's history.
On the night of March s. the Cadi-
liac division will be host on the air
In the General Motors radio series
and will broadcast a program OF com
cert music from $3.50 to 1880 East

II the birthday Of Antoine de La
Mothe Cadillac, name-giver Of the
cadillac car. who was born March s,
1908. 10 In also the first anniversary
OF the announcement of the LaSalIe
car.
The immediate success Of the new
LaSalle was one of the outstanding
highpoints of the industry during
1897. This is explained by officials
OF the company by the facts that II
had behind IL . reputation for ouali-
ty manufacture built up by the or
ganization during a quarter century.
that from the outset IL was OF Cadil-
lac quality throughout, and was de-
signed by Cadillac engineers and
built by the veteran force Of Cadii-
lac craftsmen within the company's
own plants.
The facts that the beauty and
mcdishness Of the new LaSalle de-
! anticipated by nearly "a full
year the developing tastes or the
motoring public and that IL made an
instant appeal not only in the United
States but worldwide, drawing high
est honors az body builders display
IN the art centers Of Europe. South
America and even in Egypt. all con-
srlouted TO the unprecedented sales
Of the car.
LaSalle sales thus far have ex-
ceeded the first year sales OF any
other new car In its price class since
the beginning Of the indu- Try. With
its addition to the Cadillac line. and
the later introduction OF the new
Cadillac. also designed in the new
mode, the company's production in
1927 showed an increase of 25 per
cent owe the preceding rear, and
the production schedule for 1928
calls for an additional increase OF
40 per cent over the peak 1927 re-
cord.

 @XXn'as Mailing EQrIy''

The fact that the s. s. North western brought in an extraordi- Inarily heavy mail shipment most of which was Christmas mail destined for far points on the Interior and the Westward coast, brings to mind the annual Christmas mailing story that must be written.
 It goes something like this
 You loving ones and you mis- guided ones who would cheer others ]of your race and who believe it bet ter to give than receive,-get busy and do your Christmas mailing early. Send it now, marked, Not to be opened until Christmas; get it into the postoffice very securely wrapped and fully addressed. And Ihy no means fail to have the return address boldly. marked"
 This sort of story has been writ ten every year for many years, but prOcraStlnation is ever the thief of time and the general public still persists in waiting till the last min ute and piling everything onto the shoulders of the poor mail carrier just as the time he would like to be enjoying himself.
 Postmaster Sheldon of the local office urges early mailing to take advantage of the last steamship schedules and to clear the way for the inevitable congestion in the big mailing and distribution centers.
