Lowly "Bike" Rises as Rival to Haughty Ford; Begin to Clutter Streets The bicycle is beginning to rival the Tin Lizzie for popularity. Ever increasing number of wheels can be seen on the streets of Richmond, and dealers report a 50 per cent increase in sales. This popular ity is daily increasing, despite the average $13 increase on each bicycle since 1915. Twenty-five years ago everyone wanted a "bike" and it was the chief ambition of young swains to own tandem bike's. The streets of Richmond and the country roads w ere congested worse with "wheels" in those days than are the roads with autos today. But the advent of the combustion motor spelled the doom of the wheel. Since 1917, however, manufacturers have been carrying on intensive advertising campaigns. The wheels of today are as comparable to the wheels of yesterday as are the modern sport automobiles to the first edition of the "horseless carriage." The bicycle is far more popular in Europe than here. The European that can afford a bicycle is relatively in the same financial circumstances as the man that owns a light automobile in this country. All the worthAvhile speed and endurance records made on bicycles are held by Europeans. MYSTERIOUS WOMAN VISITS HOHENZOLLERN (Vy Associated Press) AMERONGEN, March 17.

She appeared at the gates at Bentinck castle but was denied admittance, and late had a conversation with the Stewart of the castle, leaving a bouquet of flowers for Count llohenzollern.

Believes in Militarism GEN. BARON VON LUETTWITZ A MORE confirmed militaristic-imperialist than General Baron von Luettwitz, Germany's new minister of defense under the pan-German party, could hardly have been selected.' The general was one of 1 the arch opponents sought to prevent Ebert government from yielding to it. For a short while during the early days of the war he was governor general of Belglum and later he commanded a part of the German army that operated (jENiuETTWUZ on the Verdun front in the days when the fighting there was at its hottest. His pre-war experience includes service as military attache in the Gertnan embassies in London and Petrograd, and this was in the days when a 3erman military attache was a most active spy in behalf of the fatherland. According to dispatches he has an American wife, who was a Miss Cary of Cleveland, O. Members of this lady's family in Cleveland, however, assert that she did not marry the von Luettwitz who is now in the saddle in Berlin, but anothpr German gentleman of the same name. Circuit Court Testimony in the mandate suit of the town of Centerville against, the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company was resumed in circuit court Wednesday.

Day of Kindly St.

St. Patrick's Day, Wednesday, was of special significance to the feminine portion of Richmond this year. An old Irish leeend has it that St.

of the peace treaty , Patrick and not Caesar is the origlnand a leader of the . ator of leap year. Although aut henmilitary party that ; tlc verification of the legend has nev-

rj ureu iouna, oia lrisn of Kichmona put considerable belief in the yarn. The legend has it that one day St. Patrick was out walking when he met St. Bridget. "Ah" St. Bridget began, "my sisters reproach me for not giving them a chance to find a husband for themselves. What shall I do?" "Give them a chance every four years" St. Patrick answered, "and we'll see what happens." "Thank you," St Bridget cried, "but what about meself?" "You shall take this very year to propose to whomsoever you please." St. Patrick replied, "it is the leap year the longest year of all." Refused by Saint. Some relators of the legend have It that because nuns of those days were not sworn to celibacy, St. Bridget took advantage of the first leap year and proposed to St. Patricks. Monks were sworn to celibacy, however, and St. Patrick reprimanded St. Bridget. Despite this unthinking burden placed upon them by their patron saint, the Irishmen of Richmond bloomed forth in all shades of green Wednesday morning. The emerald decorations ranged from the green and gold flag of Ireland to the clay pipes intertwined with shamrocks. Haberdashers enjoyed good sales in green ties Tuesday and these wre in evidence Wednesday. Irish girls contented themselves with green dresses, hats, suits ana small shamrocks iney will pay nomage to St. Patrick Thursday morning that is if the saint aids them to capture the one wanted Wednesday night Many to Attend Celebrations Even though Lent is not generally observed by Irish on March 17, Richmond Irish are not planning for any concenea oDservance of the day. Numbers will attend the "blow-outs" in Newcastle, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Dayton, however. In view of the present struggle of American women for the right of suffrage, the tradition attached to Irish wisbing-wells attract interest. When a young couple in Ireland are married there is a superstition that the first to drink from a wishing well will rule the household. Bride Provided Herself Cup The story is told that on one occasion no sooner had the blessing been pronounced by the priest, than the bridegroom rushed madly to the w-h-ing-well and drank deep to insure his mastery of the home, only to learn that the bride had obtained a cup of water from the well before the ceremony and had drained It as soon as the groom started for the well. The real significance of these wells to the Irish lies in the belief that by using the water and by constant prayer, various ailments will be cured. ine worship wells probably came down from Egyptians and was not entirely driven out by St. Patrick. The Shamrock is the symbol of the Holy Trinity, as taught by St. Patrick when teaching Christianity in Ireland. St. Patrick was born in Boulonge-Sur Mer, France, and was made captive by the Irish, following the Roman, into Gaul. When a lad. he hearde sheep in the Silev-Mis, (Mountain of Mist.) Saw Ireland Askirrj Help He went back to France, and in p dream, it is related, saw the younsr men of Ireland standing on the shore stretching out their hands to him.

immediately went back to Ireland and spread his teachings. In Westport, County of Mayo, is a beautiful mountain rising from the eea and which is called Croag Patrick. A legend has it that it was from this mountain that he pulled the famous stunt of driving all reptiles from Old Erin.
