MAY Be BEGINNING
OF FORTY DAYS. RAIN
Old Belief Concerning Wet st.
Swithin's Day Being Dis
cusSed at Present.

II there Is anything in the old proverb
to the effect that rain on St. Swithin' 8
day means rain for forty days thereafter,
the District OF Columbia has quite a long
damp spell In store for IL. For II rained
in Washington and elsewhere in the Dis
trict yesterday-ask anybody who was
out at 9TH and Florida avenue watching
the canvasmen cover and uncover the
diamond-and yesterday was ST. Swithin' s
day
There probably will be more rain to-
day. according to the forecaster. who
warm, and that the weather will be 'un-
settled" Under present conditions ''un-
settled" means rain.
Precipitation has been general all over
the country during the last few days. the
local storms being SO frequent as almost
to be general. Cloudbursts and near
cloudbursts have been reported from
east, west. north and south: but the
warm weather continues. which makes
for the general good health and pros
perity OF all sorts Of growing crops. and
makes it seem as if there is a possibility
OF the high cost Of living suffering set
back.
Yesterdays rain did no damage in the
District, but was heavy just over the line
in Maryland. Near Bethesda the rain
came down In such torrents as to give the
downpour the appearance of a tropical
storm. Little wind accompanied the rain.
and no reports have reached the city OF
damage by lightning.
The damage inflicted by Sunday even
fng's storm In and about the capital prac-
tically has been repaired: telephone. tele-
graph and electric light wires that were
torn down have been replaced; all the
railroads. both steam and electric. have
had large gangs of men at work repairing
storm damage to tracks. and the water
has been pumped. bailed or otherwise
drained out of inundated Easements.
Conservative estimates of the damage
inflicted in Washington by the almost un-
precedented rainfall-about three inches
in an hour-place the figure at about 500. :
600. the heaviest item in the list being the
loss to stock in the basement storage
rooms Of the government printing Office
and the bureau OF printing and engraving.
where fine paper worth $4,000 was ruined
