S hake'll pc«.r» As the most procious gifts often come in the smallest packages, so v;ere some of our most famous personages born in the shortest month—46 men of literature, science, music and government. All of these important people have be their efforts achieved greatness. WASHINGTON American citizens ov;e their appreciation to George Washington (Februa ry 22), first presid.ont of the United States, for his heroic actions in the Revoluntionary I'^’ar and predodents set during the first presidency.
