LEAP YEAR BRINGS THE SUNDAY INTO PROMINENCE

Many legal holidays fall on Sunday this year as well as several other dates which Americans are accustomed to look forward to "as important ocasions. George Washihgton’s birthday is the first on the list. It comes on Sunday, Fob. 22. The next will be Memorial day, op Sunday, May 30. Independence day also falls on Sunday this year. Sunday will be robed in the splerwb'i of springtime when Easter arrives, April 4. Then again we are reminded that Sunday, March 21, is the first day of spring. And the extra day in February this year—the 29th, that cames not oftener than every four years and sometimes less frequently—is a Sunday. Last, but not least, from the juvenile viewpoint ,is Hallowe’en day, which also comes bn Sunday this year, the date being Oct 81. Thus it is that leap year brings Sunday into more than usual prominence, although it will not deprive workers of their customary holiday rest, for in the ease of the national holidays the observance will be on the day following. r ,
