STORM WARNING RHYMES
COMMON IN BRITAIN
Poor Poetry, but Excellent
Weather Prophecies

Observed by weatherwise country
folk, the spectacle of clouds on hilltops
has, in various parts, been made the
feature of storm warning rhymes, COM
posed of rude lines, which. according to
&c. M. w" in the Scotsman, usually
serve better as weather warnings than
as examples of poetry. On opposite
sides of the turbulent Rule, near it's
confluence with the Teviot. tower the
Dunion and Ruberslaw, two heathclad
peaks celebrated in Scott's Thomas the
Rhymer," and by many a minor poet
OF these a weather verse long current
in Teviotdafe says:
When Ruberslaw puts on his cowl,
The Dunion on his hood
Then a. the wives Of Teviotside
Ken there will be food
Similar rhymes, extant south of the
border, do not so reverently cover such
eminences with monastic headcloths
They are usually made to wear a sim
pie cap
For over two centuries a couplet has
been extant in Cumberland to the effect
that:
When Crifel gets cap.
Skiddaw wots well Of that.
Criffel is mountain In Kirkcud-
bright and, as the inhabitants on the
slopes of the Cumberland peak see the
mists and clouds descend upon or rise
from the lofty eminence across the Sol
way Firth. SO they prognosticate the
weather. A similar verse was current
in Cleveland district in northeast York
shire fully two centuries ago, in con-
nection with a similar phenomenon
which was accepted as a sure forewarn-
ing of a severe storm:
When Roseber-y Topping wears cap,
Let Cleveland then beware Of that
These verses are examples OF form
of weather rhyme which must have
been adopted in many places having
lofty hills in the vicinity.

some Of the solons Of the Old Domin-

dead and a half dozen seriously In
jured in the game was Virgfnia's rec
ord last season, and the legislators
believe that they. should either abol-

tions around its playing which will
relieve It Of its APPARENTLY danger

| Talk Of aboiishing the game Is
loudest in Richmond. This city had
not recovered from its GRIEF and sor-
row over the death Of Archer Chris
tian upon the Georgetown feld when
the news was flashed over the city
that another Virginia lad. Walter
Surrey. had died from injuries re-
ceiyed on the gridiron, Then on all
sides the protest against the game
grew In volume. until it now threat
ems to bury 1t. -
The protest against the sport Is
not confined to the unfnfuential.
This is shown by the Interview of
Speaker Richard Evelyn Byrd OF

of the most influential figures in

father of Young Dick" Byrd. QUAR-

Byrd said some law should be pass
ed to place restrictions around the
game, but Just how far this should
so he could not determine.
Mr., Byrd is not alone among the
Virginia legislators who think the
game should be modined. Colonel
John s. Harwood Of Richmond, an
other solon, had a son hurt on the
Richmond college team. and he has
Ia horror Of the game. Delegate
lThrockton Of Henrico has q son who
formerly played football and gave his
family untold anxiety. It is these
LEGISLATORS who ere alarmed over the
game as It is played now and who
win doubtless lend their influence to
have the dangerous features of the
sport abolished.
This cry against football recalls
the effort some years ago to abolish
the game. Then an active fight was
waged against It in the Virginia leg
