Leap Year Fizzle Here Says Record (Continued from page 1) afraid of the economic conse quences of matrimony. The origin ol women's propos ing during the year with 361 days is lost in antiquity but the first law recorded making such propos als legal was passed in 1288 in Scotland. It was followed short ly by laws in France during the 15 th century, the custom was le galized in Genoa and Florence. St. Patrick Started It AIL One' Story One popular myth credits Saint Patrick. The good Irish saint was strolling one day when he was stopped by Saint Bridget who be sought him to set aside a year in which the nuns might do their own proposing. In early times, celibacy among the clergy was not enforced. Saint Patrick agreed, saying he would grant one year out of every seven. Bridget threw her arms about him, kissed him warmly and asked that he make it one out of every four years. Patrick was only human so . he granted that one ont of every four years, the longest of all, should be set aside for women to choose their mates. Saint Bridget, the story goes. was so heartened by his generos ity that she . proposed to him on the spot but he gently refused her because he had sworn to live a single life. However, he did grant her a kiss and a silk gown in stead. Tradition says that if a man refuse a leap year Proposal, he must pay the penalty of a kiss and a silk gown. Juggling the almanac in one hand and the county clerk's re cords in the other, the astute ob server finds that the first frost of fall put older men in a recep tive mood for marriage and that the new moon time is especially propitious for ensnaring young men. Mayhap 1936 with Its cold and blustery Mart will reverse the figures of past leap years. Constitution Not Attacked by F. R. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-P)-In striking contrast to his discus sion of NRA's death, President Roosevelt talked to reporters to day about the supreme court's in validation of AAA but not once did he mention the court by name. Obviously in good spirits but nevertheless in a serious mood, Mr. Roosevelt said today his re sponsibility to agriculture was on a national and not local basis de spite the court's ruling that re gulations of agriculture was a state problem. He announced that new legisla tion tho wrecked farm program would be sought in congress, but in contrast to the NRA discus sion there was no suggestion he was considering proposing sweep ing constitutional changes. It's a knock-down, drag-out story of socks, slaps, cuffs, and kisses..! New Members of Y.M.
