‘SISTER SUSIE’ IS DEFENSE OFFERED BY MRS. HARRIS Wife of New York Banker Denies Charges Brought Against Character, By I nited Prrsx NEW YORK. Feb. 29.—A sister Susie stood today between Mrs. Elaine Lee Harris and the brunt of her banker husband’s charges. Attorneys for Beverly D. Harris, former vice president of the National City Bank, have based their case for annulment of the Harris marriage on establishing the fact the beautiful defendant is not what she claimed to be, but is one “Susie Lee.' a former in mate of disorderly houses and traveling companion of gamblers. The defense opened its Thurs day and continued today with deposition of the first witness indicating Mrs. Harris’ defense will be that the Susie in question was a half-sister, seven years older than she. Harris is suing for annulment on the grounds his wife fraudulently misrepresented herself to be one of the historic Lee family, owners of a line of Mississippi steamboats. Numerous w tnesses for the plaintiff identified defendant as Susie Lee. WINDOW SMASHER AND ACCOMPLICES IE WATCHMAN

CAESAR STARTED SOMETHING WHEN HE MADE FEB. 29 Julius Both Famous and Infamous for Adding an Extra Day, Back in 46 B. C.. Julius Caesar, having no special conquests on the program for the day and feeling a bit bored, decided to reform the Roman calendar. He wanted every solar year to be •i6s v i days long. Being a methodical man, he decided the best way to accomplish his purpose was to add an extra day to the calendar every four years. Hence. Leap Year. And hence, Feb. 29. today. Some time between Caesar's day and this, some enterprising maiden, probably considered quite shocking by her more conservative sisters, decided io take advantage of the extra day. to make the year one of spe.cial privilege. It is likely she was the original advocate of “women's rights.” “Share My Sardines?’’ AVhen her best beau failed to bow his knlekered knee before her and plead for her hand, at just the right moment, she took the matter into her own hands and did the proposing herself Hence, today. Ahe moderq maid who drags her "sheik" out of the dance hall long enough to say: “This is Leap and I'm not taking any chances; how would you like to share my sardine suppers?” N. B. —Not so many girls do this—perhaps because they can't afford to buy sardines for two.
Birthdays Scarce But the gratitude that certain women, more or less young, may bestow upon the memory of Julius Caesar for his original idea, which enabled them to prefix “Mrs.” before their names, is offset by the grievances of another, probably a larger, group. How would you like to have a birth clay just once every four years? No parties, no presents, for three years out of every four. There's not much goo<y to he said for that, according to the sons and daughters of Feb. 29. And still even that has its advantages. With strict veracity. Miss Brim, after she ha-s spent some sixty years in this world, may say. as casts down her eyes demurely. "My aga’’ Why, this is my fifteenth birthday.” And no one can contradict her!
