Rev. Dr. Briggs stated that after they
had preached their faith in every state,
from Maine to Florida, they sailed
from Boston July Ii. 1913, to carry it TO
India. The Rev. Luther Rice returned
after few years to this country and
for time he preached in this city.
The Rev. DIR. JudSon never returned.
He spent his life in missionary work. In

India.

FORESTALE ST. SW|TH|N
Federal Forecasters Predict
Fair Weather Tomorrow.
Tradition of Day.

Tra diuon. perhaps Will let the govern
nent's weather forecasters take the next
forty days off. while ST. Swithin tomor-
row viii decide what will be the weather
during the next forty-day period. Like
-round hog day is St Swithin's day. for
whatever may be the weather on the
morrow so will be the weather during the
forty days to come. At least. that is
what is passed down to us as tradition.
But the weather forecasters. seemingly
III an attempt TO beat the saint in his
traditional forecast. have issued a bull
letin declaring a disturbance now over
the northern Rocky mountain region will
develop eastward and will be attended by
local thunderstorms that will occur to-
day over the northern plains states. and
will extend eastward over the central and
northeTn portions of the country, reach
ing the Atlantic states Wednesday or
Thursday.
From this it would seem that tomorrow
viii be fair in Washington and vicinity,
and because tomorrow is fair. If tradition
holds correctly, then Washington will
have fair weather for forty days and
IoTty nights.
Normal temperatures Will prevail over
the Atlantic and gulf states, according to
the weather bureau.
Washington was visited early this
morning by what the government S
weather forecasters called strong
breeze. but there was no storm accom-
casters No reports of any damage have
been made further than the blowing
down of young tree at 9th and Q streets
northwest.

ORGANIZE FOR FUND.
Hundred Men to Push Campaign for
st. Joseph's Rectory.

To raise funds for new parochial
residence, committee of 100 men has
been organized in st. Joseph's parish, on
Capitol Hill. Rev. Ignatius Fealy. assist
ant pastor of st. Joseph's Church, is
chairman of the committee, which has
already succeeded in having $4,000 pledg-
ed toward the fund.
The members of the committee have de-
cided that the building shall not cost less
than $4,000. and this amount they are
determined to have on hand by the end
of the summer, SO that work on the new
structure may begin In the early fall. 1t
will be of brownstone, like that used in
st. Peters Church, and in architecture it
will be in keeping with the church. 1t
will occupy the ground on I'd street adj
joining the church. and will front toward
the government park that will occupy the
squares between the Capitol and Union
station, thus having a commanding site.
1t was to augment the rectory fund
that the parishioners of st. Joseph $
Church inaugurated the two weeks car
nival that will close Wednesday. A large
sum has already been realized.

Open-Car Danger-A Remedy.

To the Editor of The Star:
I was more than pleased to read your
editorial Of Friday on "Open-car
Dangers Certainly it is a step in the
right direction. If may say it. however,
in spite of the vast amount that has been
written of the lend seat hog Of the
running board and of the people driven
from the running board who crowd in
between the seats. no one appears to
recognize perfectly obvious fact. and
that is that railroad companies are alone
responsible
The bench seat car as now constructed
should not be permitted. Do away with
the end seat and on both sides Of these
cars Gas has already been done on one
side) require aisles through the cars and
entrances and exits such as are now pro-
v1ded on any cross-seat car. At once all
of the annoyances about which so much
has been written will disappear. Con-
ductors collecting fares will not be swept
sistently In spite of ordinances OCCUPY
the running board and they will not be
driven from the running board between
the seats, nor will six and sometimes
seven people be crowded upon a seat
All Of the advantages of the open car
and they are many. may be retained If
the sides of the car are Simply closed
with wire fabric of large mesh. The
suggestions appear to me to be entirely
feasible that any necessary changes can
be cheaply effected and it would seem
to have great merit
