Jacksonville Museum Clock Takes Leap Year in Stride Friday, February- 29, leap year day, did not upset the ac curacy of the old clock which hangs on the staircase wall of the Jacksonville Museum. In ad dition to marking off the times of day, the clock also, on a low er dial, shows the months and days of the year. Museum at tendants watched the clock with interest Friday and Saturday and learned that its . delicate mechanism was not upset by the extra day which comes one time in every four years. The clock told correctly the date Friday and Saturday morning had click ed ahead to show March' 1. The timepiece of course has a history. It was the first clock at Stanford university and hung there in the old administration building. Found On Trash Pile During renovations at the university some years ago, it was found by some former Stan ford students in a trash pile. They asked for the clock and it was given to them, a workman stating that it no longer run and i was useless. The Hensnetpr farm ily of Prospect acquired it anc for several years it hung in i storeroom there. When the Jacksonville Museum was open ed in August, 1950, the clock was presented to those ir charge. Mrs. Myrtle P. Lee, curator contacted a clock maker in Med ford who repaired it and put it back in running order. The intricate system of tell ing the time, months and days, is done by cords and weights. The clock is dated 1876 and is a duplicate of the old clock made in 1866 which is in the Jacksonville Beekman bank.

Klein, medical director for the Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society, denounced the "extravagant" claims for the new drugs by some medical authorities. Zarit said the result of the announcement of the three new drugs, rififon, nydrazid, and marsalid, has been a flood of telephone calls from TB suffer ers, He said they apparently "think they can stay at home, take a pill like aspirin and be cured."
