0H S-a- ..__ ns of Old essful At_ ' Year Game released by the owner. In this way Mr. Maxton ascertains what hens are laying the eggs. An electric alarm is connected to the doors of the nests, and when a hen seeks exit by pressing against one of the doors, the bell in the kitchen rings. The plan has worked successfgully f the past several months, Mr. Max- ton said, and there have been no false alarms. Mrusic Notes Two months of the year of 1920t have already passed, bht with the influx of French wives and the high .,cost of sugar and automobiles, the Lep Year crop of husbands threatens to be rather small. In olden tims the privilege of Leap Year proposals was given to women not only by custom, but also by law. A law passed in 1288 states that, "It Is, statut and ordaint that during the rein of hir maist blissit Megeste, for ilke year known as lepe year, ilk mayden ladye of both highe and lowe estait shall hae liberte to bespeke ye man she . likes, albeit he refuses to taik hir to be his lawful wyfe, he shall be mulcted In ye sum ane pundis or less, as his estait may 'be." To the penalty for refusal stated in this edict was another attached by custom. Any man who refused a woman's proposal of marriage was forced to give her a silk dress. It was a case of "heads I win, tails you lose" for the woman. She got either the man or the dress. Smart St. Patrick In Ireland there is an old legend about the origin of this ancient priv- ilege for women. It is said that St. Patrick bought himself off from St. Bridget's ardent proposal of marriage by pomising to grant any. request that she should make. In answer to her plea for '"equal rights for women he gav women one year out of every four for their own. Women's tights i New Guinea There is, however, in the world at the present time a country within whose 'boundaries it might be said to be .Leap Year all the time. In New Guinea it is considered beneath the dignity of men to propose, and it is, therefore, up to the women to do it. If a woman falls in love with a hand- some New Guinea warrior with a ring through his nose, she sends to his mother or sistersa piece of string. It is the duty of the recipient to play the part of Cupid and bring about a meeting between the two. The -fair pursuer then expresses her great love and admiration for the blushing war- rior and, if everything is favorable, the wedding takes place. It is inter- esting to speculate upon the large amount of string the family of a par- ticularly. attractive young man must accumulat. Here in the United States, where that privilege is limited to those years whose last two numbers are divisible by four, it is necessary for all wo- men desirous of acquiring husbands to act quickly. One Detroit newspaper' recently announced that there were an unusually large number of weddings in that city during the month of Jan- uary, showing that many Detroiters are evidently availing tlemselves of the Leap Year privilege. rhii Rings Bell When Egg's Laid St. Louis, March 9.-A bell rang in the kitchen of the home of Robert W. Maxton of this city, and was followed by the cackling of a proud hen. "There's someone at the door," a visitor suggested. "Oh, no," replied Mr. Maxton. "one of my hens has just laid an egg!" Mr. Maxton tired of supporting hens that would not lay, he explained, so he installed "trick nests" in his hen- nery. When a hen enters a nest, a door closes and imprisons the fowl until .1 WHAT'S GOING ON I A students' recital will be given at 4:15 o'clock today in the School of1 Music, the program being as follows: Nocturne, Op. 32, No. 1.......

The rescurer is temporarily blinded in the brief struggle that takes place and is guided back to health by the nurse whom he has saved. But the rejected brother satisfies his jealousy by casting reflections on the nurse's character and it is only when he con- fesses on his death bed that the ro- mance in the picture comes to a happy termination. THE ARCADE Crystalizing every ray of sunshine in Eleanor II. Porter's popular "glad" story, Mary Pickford appears in "Pol- lyanna" for the last fimes today at the Arcade. Because of her mastery of the pathos and quaint whimsical hum- or in the leading role in this play, Mary Pickford has been rewarded with a number of enthusiastic endorse- Iments by her critics. . Among them the New York Tele- graph says, "There is- only one dif- ference between Mary Pickford in "Pollyanna" and Mary Pickford in her earlier pictures.
