Leap year was so named by the
¥nglish because by the old Julian cal-
endar every anniversary on that year
leaped over one day in the week, but
how long the name has been in ex-
| istence is not recorded. Likewise the
| origin of “ladies’ privilege” on this
i year is lost in antiquity, although
' legend has it that St. Patrick inauge-
: rated the custom. .
It is said that in 1288 the follow-
|
|
|
Leap Year Privilege
was enacted in Scotland:
© “It is statut and ordaint that dur-
_ ing the rein of hir waist blissit Ma-
geste, for ilk yeare knowne as lepe
i veare, ilk mayden ladye of bothe
| highe and lowe estait shall hae lib-
. erte to bespeke ye man she likes, al-
beit he refuses to taik her to be his
lawful wyfe, he shall be mulcted in
ye sum ane pundis or less, as his
' estait may be; except and awis if he
can make it appeare that he is be-
| trothit ane ither woman he than shall
be free.”
. When the Illustrated Almanac
quoted this statute in 1865, hdwever,
its authenticity was questioned. It
was said no such law appearédd oa the
statute books of Scotland, nor were
there records of any such fines. France
| once had a law on behalf of the femi-
: nine leap year wooers, and the custom
was legalized in Genoa and Florence
in the Fifteenth century.—Detroit

| “Rebel’s” Good Reason
for Self-Accusation
| Just after the assassination of
! President-Illect Obregon of Mexico,
| people were seeing rebels in every
| stranger, but there was real surprise
at police headquarters in Mexico
City when a man with battered rifle
and full cartridge belt presented him-
self and rold Senor Robelo that he
, vas a rebel.
56
They took him at his word and
‘locked him up, but the chief, in the
| meantime, sent out detectives to get
!a line on the man, A week later,
having reported that they could find
nothing concerning him, the chief
brought the self-sentenced prisoner
before him. He was the picture of
misery and squalor.
“Where did you fight, as a rebel?”
asked the assistant chief of public
safety.
“Nowhere, senor,” was the surpris-
ing reply.
“What? Then why give yourself up
48 a rebel?”
“Because,” sighed the wretch, “I
would rather be shot than go back to
my wife.”
Diagnosis
Little Bettie Easterday of Indianap-
olis had been visiting her grandmoth-
er at Scipio and had contracted a case
of mumps from some of her little play-
wates.
Mumps must have been painful for
little Bettie because she diagnosed
the pain, when asked how they felt by
saying:
“They hurt just like having the tam-
myache in my neck.”—Indianapolis

RED CROSS CHAPTERS
STRENGTHEN FORCES
FOR DISASTER RELIEF
Launch National Campaign to
Perfect Preparedness Plans
in Every Community.
A nation-wide campaign to strength-
en plans for preparedness against dis-
aster and for emergency relief has
been launched by the American Red
Cross through its Chapters. The pro-
gram is intended to perfect disaster
| preparedness committees in the tem
| thousand communities reached by Red
Cross Chapters and their branches.
tees of men and women in the com-
munities, it will insure that should a
disaster come, an organization for
| emergency relief, including every
modern method science has perfected
—such as the radio, the airplane, the
| motor car and watercraft—can be
mobilized to bring assistance, with
the promptitude applied by the Red
Cross in recent major disasters, such
Mississippi Valley flood.
These enlarged and strengthened
plans for disaster relief are set forth
in the revised Red Cross manual,
“When Disaster Strikes,” which has
been placed in the hands of every
Red Cross chairman throughout the
nation. The plan to encourage adoption
of these added disaster preparedness
methods was begun at this time be-
cause Red Cross records—covering 48
years of disaster relief—show that
the period of the greatest number of
disasters, large and small, ranges
from the early Spring through the
early Fall.
The Record of 48 Years
A historical summary of Red
Sross disaster relief since 1882, shows
that the society was active in giving re-
lief in 938 domestic disasters and its
expenditures in those relief operations
were $49,694,000. The three groups
of calamities appearing most frequent-
ly were: cyclones, tornadoes, hurri-
canes and other storms, 231; fires,
131; floods, 126.
During this period, the Red Cross
«!s0 has given assistance to distressed
peoples of other countries in 153 dis-
asters. Total expenditures for relief
at home and throughout the world, in
48 years, amount to $77,354,000.
in the four most recent major dis
-susters, among the greatest which
have ever visited the American com-
tinent, Red Cross expenditures for re-
lief totalled $29,188,908. Only in the
event. of large disasters such as the
Florida hurricane of 1926, the Mis-
sissippi Valley flood of 1927, the New
England flood of the same Fall, and
the West Indies hurricane of 1928,
does the Red Cross seek contributions
from the general public for relief
work; and frequently these are not
ample, as in the four disasters listed,
the Red Cross donated $1,338,201
from its own treasury to aid in the
work. In the event of smaller disas-
ters, the cost of the relief is met
largely from Red Cross resources.
No Community immune
No community is immune to great
disasters of one type or another, the
manual shows. One preparedness
measure that can be adopted is a sur.
vey of the surrounding country, with
the assistance of engineers and other
experts to determine the type of dis
aster to which the section is subject.
Hazards resulting from the presence
flow, of mines, munition factories,
and other industries wherein dangers
from explosion and fires may exist,
are singled out for consideration.
Extension of existing disaster or
ganizations in communities, and or
ganization of men and women, trained
in public health and community ser-
vice, will result in the saving of lives
and the prevention of extensive suffer
ing, through privation, epidemic and
other misfortune, should emergency
arise through disaster. These organ-
ization plans, outlined in the manual,
are similar to those now existing in
most Red Cross Chapters, only
strengthened in some particulars.
They contemplate disaster prepared-
ness and relief committees, under
which function sub-committees on
food, clothing, shelter, medical aid,
registration of disaster sufferers and
information service, transportation
and communication and finance.
Co-ordination of all of the societies,
organized groups and institutions in
the locality is urged, so that all effort
for emergency relief will be directed
without conflict. Trained in advance,
these committees can swing into ac-
tion, and provide an orderly and sys
tematic relief organization.

made by the American National
Red Cross for relief in the four

R. HENRY FORD, who is a great manufacturer, but who has
some peculiar ideas about econcmics, says, that young peo-
ple ought to spend their money, and not save it.
This advice is not needed, for young people usually are good
spenders. They want to have what they call a good time.
Yet there is an element of truth in what Mr. Ford says. A
stingy young person is not a pleasing object, and one who saves ev-
ery penny he gets, is in a fair way of giving an undue value to
money.
On the other hand, money is one of the most cheerful posses-
sions in the world. It gives one a sense of security, of power, that
nothing else imparts. Money is saved only by the exercise of pru-
dence and self-denial—qualities that will count largely for future
success.
This sounds like a quotation from Poor Richard's Almanac, a
little book that those who are of Franklin's opinion, as to what
constitutes success in life, may do well to read. We think young
people ought to save part of what they get, and spend part. They
will be pretty old before they cease wanting to have a good time.
And the man who does not save, is doomed to failure.
