Scientists to Decide on How Much to Wear LEEDS, England, d Now that fashion has reduc \4 feminins apparel to a matter of onnces in- stead of pounds, scientists are ro determine whether the new modes are right or wrong. Experiments have heen taken in the department tile industries at Leeds undor- of te: Univer- sity to determine what amount cf| clothing men and women shouil wear and what are the mos’ healthful materials. Preliminary investigation vealed that wool and viscose take up moisture more efficiently thun cotton and can hold moisture twice as long as cotton, under the same conditions. Dr. C. W. Saleeby, chairman of the clothing commitice of the New Health Soclety, explains that fab- | rics will' be tested for air con- taining and transmitting prope ties, $moisture absorbing and dry- ing properties, heat retentio washableness and other qualities. The work will take three or four years.

So M make the most of every minute of leap year, important campaigns are being outlined in boudoirs aml as the new year approached clev er nets we woven by damsels motto is: Your ‘Man.” i Cacsar Started it The girls owe this glorious priv ilege to Julius Caesar and to a cotch lawmaker of the thirteenth ntury. Girls often fail to re ze that Julius® Caesar and th re the first feminism. When esar formed the Roman cal ar in 4(v B. C, he took his fronom advice' and added an extra day ev fourth year to make the average solar year 365% days and yet avoid the awkward fraction of the calendar. That was done by doubling the sixth day before the Calends of March. Of the origin of the custom of having women woo during leap year, no satisfactory explanation has ever been offered, but in 1928 a law was enacted in Scotland that “it.is statnt and ordaint that ,«Iurlng the rein of hir maist blissit | megeste, for ilk yeare knpwn lepe yeare, ilk mayden nfl)e ot :h()lhe highe and lowe estalt shall | have liberte to bespeake ye man she likes, albeit he refuses to taik Jhir ta be his lawwful wyfe, he shall be mulected ye sum of ane pundis or less as his estait may be; except and awis gif he can make it appear that he is be- trothit ane ither woman he then {shall be free.” Different Penalty Now If a man declines the honor in 1928, he will net be fined $5 as jhe was in Scotland, but he will be scorned by all womankind, 1o doubt, for girls at leap year are both hopeful and stubborn. A year after the Scotch decree, a like law was passed in France. (It was legalized in Genoa and Florence, . Possibly the wars had taken too many men. At any rate, that was the first gun fired in the interests of rights for wo- men. And the privilege, as one of woman's rights, in that day may have been considgred more desirable even than the vots.
