ROSELAWN, Ind, Jan, ga jour-
ney Of 5000 miles in a basket bed end

Of LEAP
YEAR TO Be
DEDICATED
On March Is in Connection
with the 1916 Exposition
at San Diego.

"The Court OF Leap Year is to be
one Of the big new features that will
be dedicated with San Diego's 1916
exposition March Is.
The decision to add international
features and a great program of big
special events and keep the 1915 ex-
position open through another year
came at the close of the San Fran
cisco exposition. The San Diego ex-
position Originally had not been built
for a leap year.
The young women Of California
we're not willing that the big expo
sition overlook this n year in four
when they have the upper hand in
the matter of unlocking the door to
matrimony. Miss Gloria Headlington,
of San Francisco, sent a plea to Pres
ident G. A. Davidson, asking that one
of the beautiful patios be set aside
as 1.-The Court of Leap Year"
After a spirited debate the direc-
tors re-christened m Of the most
beautiful of the exposition's enclosures
and for the entire year the dances and
social events held here will be under
the reign of the gentler sex. Bookings
have been opened for the court and
the rush has proved that the idea has
met with favor among California So
cieties as well as visiting delegations
to be in San Diego during the year.

February Twenty Ninth Off.
ciaI Day for Bachelor Girls
to Propose.

Herr Ground Hog, st. Valentine,
1.-THE Twenty-Ninth," commonly known
as Leap Year day, on which the gen
tier sex propose, W~ashington's and
Llncoln's birthday are all holidays for
next month, though the month Is the
shortest of the year.
Another fact CLEANED from the cal
endar is that there is but n Friday
the thirteenth in 1916, this falling in
October.
The first of the unique holidays is
is a tribute to the prognostic abilities
of the famed wood chuck or Col.
Arctomys Manox as he is scientifically
termed. The wood chuck, according
to the old belief, comes out OF his
hole on February 2, following hiber-
nation. Should the hog see his shad-
DIV the country will see six weeks OF
cold winter weather, but should the
day be dark and dreary sweet peas
may be planted before st. Patrick's
day and there will be an early spring.
Wood chuck is a corruption of an In
dian name, "wejack."
Since the days of the bard of Avon
st. Valentines day has been observed
throughout the civilized world. On
this day love tokens are sent by sweet
hearts. The day is sacred to st. Val
entine. Shakespeare alluded to the
fourteenth Of February in II of his
plays as a day on which birds mate.
Lincoln's birthday comes on Feb
ruary - and Washington's on Feb
ruary %. Both Of these dates will
probably be observed by. appropriate
exercises in the public schools.
OF recent years it has been popu-
larly conceded that February 20 is the
proper day on which bachelor girls
and suffragets should propose to their
loved ones.
Some famous suffragets are quoted
as authorities on the leap year pro-
posal, but many of them were asking:
why should girls wait until leap
year to %propose?"
Inez Milholland Boissevain, who
proposed three times, started her ca
reer by stirring up feminist agitation
in staid old vassar College, scorned
