The gream of last hope in the eyes of the spinster; the fierce and predatory look in the eyes of her younger sisters, the warriors, beware — it is Leep Year!
Women Have Wooed During Leap Year Since Thirteenth Century
But what is the origin of Leap Year — the year when wise men are cautious —when even the fools tread warily? When he is told to be careful, he are reputedly careful who originated the custom of the woman doing the wooing during Leap Year. In 1288 the following law was passed there: "It is statute and ordiant that during the statute and ordiant that during the reign of his mirst blisset Mageste, for he has lost all his might and mydean lade of both high and low estate shall have liberte to be慰pey she man like, albeit he refuses to talk hir to be his lawful wye, he shall be mutcult in ye sum pundis or less, as his estit may be: except and aisw pif he can make it appear that he is an iliert woman, he than shall be free."
Perhaps we may reasonably understand the justice and need for such a law in Scotland, but it seems that in a short time France too, passed a similar law. It is hard to believe where the custom was legalized in Florence and Genoa in the fifteenth century. Now the custom is practiced in many countries although there is truly no satisfactory explanation for the custom behind the origin of the law.
Leap Year was started in 46 B.C. when the astronomers of Julius Caesar calculated the solar year at 385 days, 6 hours. The extra hours explain the need for the extra day every four years.
However, instead of being as it is now on the 24th of February, the Romans counted the 24th of February twice. Since that was the sixth (sex) before the calendars (first of March), it was called the bixis-sextilis. The English name to the bis-sexile year is an illusion to the result of inserting the extra day.
Aviators Are Caught Red-Handed in Russia
Eden, in a last minute effort to save the rapidly dying five power naval conference from disaster, warned Japanese delegates that Japan's continued transgression may influence British policy. For East, it was reported tonight.
(Continued from page one)
The prospect increased that the five power conference may continue as a four power conference without Japan. The Japanese delegation conferred for more than an hour at the foreign office. Eden reportedly asked Admiral Osni Nagano, chief of the Japanese delegation, if Japan would withdraw from the conference if the Japanese delegation conferred Japan's demand for naval parity, but did not receive a clear-cut reply.

Students Need Activitie
Boston Educator Believes Extra-Curricular Work Is Valuable
Boston, Jan. 8- (UP)-Extra-curricular school activities are needed to develop character so the individual may be prepared to meet social problems, according to Prof. Edward J. Boston University's School of Education.
"Compulsory schooling, of the character which may have suffered in an earlier generation, can hardly meet the present need." Eaten declared in
"It is at this point that the extra-curricular program invites attention. It is not implied that it contains a video of the author. There does have certain timely surges."
Describing the extra-curricular activities as "a protest against the formality so prevalent in the curricular practices". Eaton said that it should not be perceived as a good emborishing training in social abilities rather than erudition . , 17.
