"Christmas comes but once a year." But it is only once every 1,461 days, twice a decade, and 24 times in a century that Leap Year appears on the calendar. Nineteen hundred forty brings with it the distinction of a Leap Year with its added day in February, a presidential campaign, and girl-leshaces-boy privileges.

Gracie Scorns Mufflers; Frolics in Zero Weather
Food Expert Tells of Lab Tests on Faulty Goods
While students shiver and don their scarfs and ear muffs, Gracie frolics in la nature in the falling snow.
William H. Hartigan, head of the Federal Food Administration branch in Kansas City, Mo., spoke to mem-
bers of the Economies Club yesterday at 4:30.
STOP!
A trip to the Green Zoo, near the end of Illinois street, disclosed the fact that bears do not hibernate in it. At least Grace, who is a black bear, has three cinnamon panions, a cinnamon and two brown bears, enjoy the snow too much.
Doctor Bousfield has served as vice-president and medical director of the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance company and as a director of the Negro health division of the Julius Rosenwald Foundation. He has been secretary of the Railway Men's International Benevolent and Industrial association, president of the National Medical association, president of the Chicago Urban and chairman of the section on health and housing enforcement on Negro and Negro Youth. In addition he is a member of some 28 civil, health, and social organizations.
Gracie, named after Gracie Allen,
belies her cognomen and is really
possessed of super intelligence. In
fact, her I.Q. reached such a height
that she could open the gate of her
care at will. This form of recreation,
however, was soon stopped by the
caretaker.
Much less intelligent but more active are Brownie and Teddy, the two brown bears, who spend the day boxing, chasing and punching one another in a most infantile manner.
Dr. M. C. Bousfield, '07, of Chicago, last week became the first Negro ever to serve on the Chicago Board of Education. In announcing the appointment, Mayor Kelley said that other cities should follow the example of his city in allowing distinguishing colored persons to hold office.
Mr. Hartigan told the work which the food testing laboratories have been doing in the past month. "In one month we discovered numerous cans of moulded tomatoes, wormy walnut meats, and other probiotics as arsenic and lead, which we immediately dispersed from the market.
Susie, the monkey, is really the one who has become acclimated. Born in the tropics, she is now able to stand the cold blizzards of eastern Kansas. Susie is so perfectly adjusted that she has even grown a heavier coat than her species usually has.
Former Student To High Position
"Many fruits have arsenic and lead poison on them when they reach the markets," Hartigan said. He added that to eliminate the danger of poisoning, all fruits should be questioned to wash the fruit thoroughly before it is distributed to the markets.
Lord and Lady Astor have offered their famous country home, Cliveed, to be a Red Cross hospital for Canadians in Britain.
The speaker condemned what he called harmful cosmetics on the market today. He said that such products as hair growers, wrinkle eradicators, eye lash growers, contour creams, and skin foods with miracle agents on the labels are false and misleading and should be avoided.
Rabbits and raccoons keep the hears company during the winter. Nevertheless the nine cages look rather deserted and cold.
The alligators and the gila monsters, who were unable to take it, were sent up to the University for the winter.
H. E. Chandler Reports 888 Teachers Placed in 1939
The University Teachers Appointment Bureau did a "better than average business" during the past year with 888 teachers registered, according to the annual report recently issued by H. E. Chandler, secretary of the bureau and professor of education.
Of the prospective teachers who apply, a majority are prepared for English and music positions, 146 and 130 respectively. History with 94 and education with 87 rank next. During the year a total of 920 vocational lasted with the burial, only 58 later. Less than 10 years of 1955 and 1958. More than 750 of these vacancies were in Kansas schools.
The main demand now is for school administrators, elementary teachers, and high school teachers in manual arts, science, and physical education. Ports show a decrease in the demand for teachers in English, history, Latin, music, social science and Spanish.

The residents at that address used a twisted-paper torch on the water pipes in the basement, but the torch was over-ambitious. Flames licked up the framework of a partition to the attic and caused $25 damage before they were extinguished by the Lawrence firemen.

There is room in the teaching field at present for the person capable of handling extra-curricular activities along with teaching regular subjects in smaller high schools. One of the chief difficulties of the bureau this year has been to find candidates who are properly qualified for such positions, according to Professor Chandler's report.
May Bring West Hills into City
Four ordinances to take into the city certain parts of suburban West Hills and other residential sections now outside the city limits were brought before the city council Monday night for first reading.
These sections are largely occupied by University professors and students, and their annexation to the city would cause a considerable rise in living expenses of University people.
The sections are:
1. Blocks one and four of West Hills bounded on the east by West Campus路, on the north by West Hills Terrace and West Hills Parkway; on the west by Emery Road; and on the south by Stratford Road.
2. University Place annex. Bounded on the west by Michigan street; on the south by Nineteenth street; on the east by the alley between Maine and Alabama street; and on the north by the city limits. The Seventh street street extended.
3. Block row of Windsor Street.
3. Block two of West Hills. Bounded on the north by Stratford Road; Emery Road on the west; and University Drive on the south.
CONDENSED STATEMENT
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
The Lawrence National Bank
Under the suggestion of F. A. Russell, councilman and professor of civil engineering, Mayor C. B. Mitte will begin to motivate us to consider the ordinances.
Donald D. Haines, assistant professor of civil engineering, and F. L. Brown, professor of applied mechanics, spoke as representatives of the residents of the districts in quest, and Willard Brown, councilman, argued the opposition's side on the council.
The democrats have been invited to hold their 1940 convention in the famed football Rose Bowl stadium in California.
Professor Brown obtained permission to provide the residents and property owners concerned with descriptions of the property in question, and study the matter before the next meeting of the council on Jan. 29.
