Please name the date, the hour, the spot, and be my Valentine.” Mary Margaret McBride, NEA serv- ice staff correspondent in New York, observed the trends there and found that, “Going on the principle, appar-| ¢; ently, that on Valentine's day, men’s hearts will be softer, the girls will get in their best licks for 1936 Leap Year on February 14.

A Park Row manufacturer in New York City sold out two weeks ago and had disposed of 3,500,000 valentines, not counting penny ones. His house had introduced a new comic poster with characters dressed in costumes of the Gay Nineties, and disregarding sentiment entirely, which proved to be The manufacturer be- lieves that the sudden popularity of the “‘comics” was attributable to re- Prosperity. The reasons for Valentine's day cel- ebrations has never been made quite clear. Two Saint Valentines died on February 14 in the year 250, A. D., in the reign of Emperor Claudius. Both were buried in Rome on the Via Fla- The time of their death is said to have coincided with the Ro- man love feast, called Lupercalia, for January, London in 1823; Time of Mate C! she person so chosen. Chaucer and Robert Herrick all men- tion a popular belief that birds choose their mates on Valentine's day. It also is believed that there was a Jewish love feast celebrated about this time of year in Palestine 3,000 years ago. Western Union's “Dots and Dashes” 1936, carries the in- formation that in the revels of Luper- calia, the names of the young women were put in a box and were drawn out by the men entirely by chance. Early Christians viewed this as a custom of the heathen,” and when they obtained control of Rome they renamed the Lupercalia in honor of Saint Valentine and changed it so that lovers now indicate preferences on the day. A hundred years ago youths of England and America were accus- tomed to resort to various “Ready Letter Writers” or “Valentine Writers” for their verses. Most popular among these volumes were “The New Valen- tine Letter Writer for All Trades and All Degrees of Emotion,” published in “Hymen’s Revenge Against Old Maids, Old Bachelors and Impertinent Coxcombs,” a volume of about-the same date containing nu- merous sarcastic verses for those who showed hesitation about embracing the institution of matrimony, and an- other priceless edition called “Cupid’s Annual Charter, or St. Valentine's Festival, When All True Lovers Have Free Leave to Declare Their Senti- ments for Each Other.” which was celebrated with fairly sav- age rites. hoosing The day was carried down into early England, where rural persons annually chose “a sweetheart, lover or Special friend for the year to come,” and sent a present on that day to Shakespeare, “lewd MOSCOW BRISTLES AS JAP INVASION OF MONGOLIA TS NOTED Oriental Militarists Have ‘Lost Their Minds,’ Writes So- viet Spokesman Mother ‘Kidnaped’ Baby From Family Whose Two Mem- bers Her Sons Slew Moncton, N. B., Feb. 14.—(?)—Mrs. May Bannister, who the Crown prose- cutor charged “just had to prc ‘uce a baby” to place two men friends “un- der moral obligation,” faced Friday a trial for new Brunswick’s first kid- naping. Magistrate W. F. Lane committed, her for trial at the criminal assizes, which open Feb, 25, after a prelimin- ary court hearing Thursday brought out a strange tale of New Brunswick backwoods tragedy and intrigue. The same court will try her two young sons on charges of slaying the father of the 6-months-old baby that 45-year-old Mrs. Bannister was ac- cused of kidnaping. The crown alleged that Mrs. Ban- nister first appeared in public with a doll, bundled up in baby clothes, to “bluff” her neighbor, Milton Trite, and Albert Powell, who said he was a Salvation army officer who often vis- ited her home. Trite said he had been told by Mrs. Bannister early in December that she was expecting a child soon, and that he had sent provisions to her home. The doll, with its “mama cry” re- mogved, also was used, the crown al- leged, to place Powell under moral ob- ligation, Only brief mention was made then of the death last Jan. 5 of Philip Lake, who was shot and left to die in his burning cabin at isolated Pacific Junction, His body was found in the ruins of the shack. Mrs. Marshall Ring, his Moscow, Feb. 14.—()—Coincident with publication of reports of a Japa- nese-Manchukuan invasion of So- viet-advised Outer Mongolia, the au- thoritative Soviet writer, Karl Radek, declared in Izvestia Friday that Japa- nese militarists “have lost their minds,” and warned them not to try the Soviet’s nerves. “They will learn our nerves are in complete order, and, if necessary, our hands, too,” Radek asserted. Numerous clashes have occurred recently along the Manchukuo-Outer Mongolia border, the most serious a clash between Japanese-Manchuku- an troops and Outer Mongolia forces Wednesday in which Soviet dispatches said 10 Japanese-Manchukuans were killed after invading Outer Mongolia. Soviet advices from Ulan Bator, Outer Mongolia, said the alleged Jap- anese-Manchukuan invaders of Outer Mongolia in the disputed Far Eastern border territory were ejected after two fights near the Mongolian post of Bulun Dersu. Radek said an “idea” reported to have been spread through the press at Harbin, Manchukuo, of compelling the Soviet army to withdraw west of Lake Baikal, leaving the entire Far East in the hands of the Japanese, was “idiotic.” German newspaper circulation dropped a half-million in the first six months of 1935. =—=PAL’S Phone 77, CASH GROCERY phone 77 QUALITY MERCHANDISE AT LOWEST PRICES We Handle Fresh and Cold Meats—Just Phone 77 BANANAS Pie fer neeseeeeeese TC SOAP saree SoS vi tile, .

The arrest of Mrs. Bannister on a charge of kidnaping followed.
