SWITHIN'S DAY Look for Showers for Forty Days, if You Believe What the Old Saw Says, ‘HIS is St. Swithin’s Day and it vainod. An old adage rhymed: “If on Bt. Swithin’s day it rain, “For forty days ‘twill rain again; “But if 8t. Swithin’s day be fair, “For forty days ‘twill rain nae mair.” So if you believe in those old saws you had better carry your umbrella and rubbers to be pre- pared for showers for the next forty days. If you want to take a chance and go out unprepared for the worst, don’t blame any one but yourself. But of course the records show that the old adage has failed to years gone by. It may fail again this, year, Then too very little rain fell in New York and the city may be spared-while the sur- rounding country may be deluged for the next forty days, At any rate, you are warned.

Two well-known Englishmen who landed to-day from the Cunard liner Carmania for a visit to their ranch in Montana expressed themselves as pained by the dry state of “the States.” They are Harold Lowther, brother of James William Lowther, Speaker of the British House of Com- mons, and Lord Grey de Ruthyen, the latter the twenty-fifth baron of his line. Mr. Lowther said: “England has too much sense to adopt prohibition, It must be remembered that she is a free country.” The Carmania left Liverpool on July 5 for Halifax, where she landed 1,000 Canadian soldiers. She carried 225 cabin passengers to this port. Her trip was uneventful except for two days of thick fog during which the passengers were unable to sleep be- cause of the continued siren calls, Other passengers aboard were Prof. and Mrs. G. H. Huntington of Rob- erts College, Constantinople, who are home for the first time in five years. Mrs, Huntington is a daughter of Cleveland H.

George A, Goss in Paris, Miss Edna E.

This, according to William M. Bennett, who preferred the charges against Dr. Day, is a violation of the law as no one, he declared, had a right to sign obligations for the city except the Comptroller, Comptroller Craig advised Com- missioner Hirshfield, who is hearing the charges, that it was not conven- lent for Duncan McInnes, Chief of the Bureau of Accounting, to appear for several days on account of presa- ing duties in connection with the Budget hearings ’ At the close of the morning session inquiry was {lirected toward the “Plaza Community Club," its organi- zation, sale of stock and operation under the auspices of a city depart- ment. Mr. Bennett sought to establish that the club was organized by Dr. Day, who was president. Witnesses testi- fled that they had paid $1.25 a shar for stock in the compan: thought it was s1 partment of City Markets. A Miss Nanes sold the mthe stock. One of the purposes, they understood, the opening of city markets at vari- ous places in the city, and one of them was to be located under the 59th Street Bridge. At this juncture Dr, Day declared that a report made by Commissioner Hirshfield to the Mayor on the club was false and libeled him “You can't bluff me," Hirshfield, ‘There was a stiff fight when Mr Bennett demanded that there be read into the record the minutes of a meet- ing.of the Mayor's War Bourd held in the offi ’ thd r because they 4 by the I was inswere the chair Wanted the min utes of the following Sept, 22 on the record.
