of the woman whose appreciation man demanded.
 A glance at the preponderant closed cars of 1924 shows multitude of these feminine touches.
 Feminine esthetic standards have evolved the graceful lines of the mod ern body in place of the lumpy, knob by. angular car of 1908.
 Motor car dealers admit the soft, deep cushions and easy springs wouldn't be half so soft or easy but for feminine refusal to ride on boards or hard pads and inflexible mounting.
 The self-starter, the experts say, was hastened immeasurably by wom- ans inability and refusal to cope with stubborn starting crank.
 The simplification of the motor was stimulated many years by the demand that it become possible for women to make minor adjustments and tempo rary repairs when stalled in the coun- try.
 The elaborate dashboard instrument tation was ayowedly bid for feminine pa 'ronage and approval.
 Drive without soiling your white kid gloves" says the advertisements of q decade ago.
 Now in 1924 come automatic ad- vances for ignition, due to feminine awe of spark adjustment. In one car no spark lever is provided at all-and 4-wheel as well as hydraulic brakes, so easy pressure from No. shoe can stop a 2-ton car; and balloon tires, ana error-proof gear shift levers, and automatic windshield cleaner.
 Even the note of simplicity in the interior decoration upholstery and fittings of closed cars is directly trace able to the current feminine trend to- ward mannish taste.

into confusion. The loss of day, ev- cry four years would mean the omis- sion of nearly month in century.

When Julius Caesar rose to power the autumn months were coming in the summer. To put an end to this dis order, upon the advice of the Egyptian astronomer. Sosigenes, he decreed that every fourth year should consist of 366 days. Then in order to restore the spring equinox to March 9, it's date under one of the early kings, he prolonged the current year to 465 days. This was called the, Hast year of the confusion" The first year of the Julian era began on January l, of the forty sixth year before the. birth of Christ.
 Sosigenes, however, was not exactly correct, for the length of the year really is 365 days, 5 hours, 4S minutes and 46 seconds. So the Julian calendar itself slowly became involved in dis crepancies. By 1882 the spring equinox had fallen back to March II. There fore, Pope Gregory XIII undertook, a second reformation by, suppressing ten days. Since it was ascertained that the error in the Julian calendar amounted to approximately three days in 400 years, the pope ordered the extra day of February omitted from all cen tenary years except those that are multiples of 400. Thus 1900 was not a leap year, but 2O0O will be the first centennial leap year since the year 1900. a
 Even this fine adjustment is hot en- tirely accurate, scientists have figured. An expert in astronomy has proposed dropping an additional day in the year 3200, and repeating this process every 3,20O years. This still would leave us short one day every 5000 years,

DEGRADING"

"Degradation," which was the next highest punishment to expulsion, in American colleges in colonial days, con- sisted in lowering a students name on the class list. The Harvard and Yale records show various offenses for which this was the penalty. Henry Flynt, in his Commonplace Book for November 4, 1717, notes the degrading" of Har- yard student "below five in his class, because he had been before publicly ad- monished for card-playing." At a Yale trustees meeting November 21, 1722, it was "agreed that if any student shall go into a travern victualling house or inn to eat or drink except he be called for by his parents or guardians or some such person as the rector or tutor, shall accept of or spend his time there and be convicted thereof, he shall ..
 for the second offense of that kind
 be degraded" The firing of guns in 1731 was punishable at Yale by degradation. In TAO the Yale trustees, in order to enforce the enter ing of freshmen earlier in the college year, decreed that if any of them shall not attend before the end of the first quarter, without being detained by sick ness or some extraordinary reason, he Snali De placeu tue lOWcSL III tue CldSS. The case of Isaac Burr, Yale, 1753, a clergyman's son, offers a chance for interesting speculation. He was six in a class of IF until his junior year when, alas, he was moved down three places "as part of his punishment for re- peatedly kicking a senior, for what provocation is not given" Why did Isaac feel impelled to kick this senior Was he merely prompted by a natural ly pugnacious disposition, or did the senior deserve the reinstatement? Was the punishment compensated for by the satisfaction of having delivered the kicks? One longs to have these ques- tions answered. Knowing none of the facts, my own sympathies are with Isaac.
 In many cases, if he repented of and confessed his fault, the degraded" stu dent was after a certain period rein stated. For instance, on, July 20, 1776, it was voted at Harvard "that Trum- bal, a middle bachelor, who was de- graded to the bottom of his class for his misdemeanors, when an undergraduate, having presented an humble confession of his faults, with petition to be re- stored to his place in the class in the catalogue now printing, be restored agreeable to his request"

MOTOR LUXURY

By wrinkling her nose at the crudi- ties of the motor buggies of the early nineteen hundreds, woman has done as much, perhaps, as the more me chanically-minded man to bring the motor car to the suave comfort and efficiency that marked the 400 cars on display at the national show in New York. Milady reserved her decision on the putting, clanking, squeaking conveyances until indignant man, who might have been content with some thing less splendid in the way of ve- hicles, was goaded into polishing the rough spots and padding the hard places, and using plenty of oil, says New York writer.
 Now, as result of her aloofneSs, madame can step from her boudoir or drawing room into any of 90 closed cars without hardship, and with no loss of luxury.
 Man has not quite so much aversion to roughing it. If madame had Loyalty and passively let him have his way, and applauded his efforts, the sedan of 1921 might have been sturdy spartan carry-all of about the same de- gree of resemblance to town car that corduroy hunting jacket bears to a silk knit sport sweater.
 Instead, when madame was called upon, back in 1903, of thereabouts to have a look at the gasoline carriage, she sniffed at it.
 "Why does it sputter so?' she asked.
 Why all the clatter?"
 Where does that smelly smoke come from?"
 This is like riding on q plow!'
 Ut looks like a delivery wagon
 What on earth made it stop: Why won't it go? Do you always work up sweat to get'it started?"
 And so on ad infinitum Nearly every refinement that has brought the motor car nearer perfection has come at the demand, expressed or implied,

 "Then, before I could get upon my feet, the strange man sprang forward and picked up the stick which had dropped and started running away. He could run pretty fast, but after awhile, caught up with him and running be- hind him, gave him a push. Ha ha ]! hal" and the HosfSgooly leaned back in his chair and laughed.
 So did the nice policeman and Rag gedy Andy for they knew without be- ing told just what happened and it served the strange man just right, too.

 How can it be yours when I just chopped it from that dead tree?' I asked.
 "I lost it! he cried, as he twisted the stick and tried his best to throw me down. I did not care for the stick at first!' the Hoolygooly laughed, but when he tried to twist it from me, that did not seem very good manners so l made up my mind, whether it was magic burning stick or not, he should not have it. So I twisted the stick just as much as he did until finally he found that he could not get it away
