propitious on that day. and the old
signs do not fail. a great many summer

like the latter. 1t is not regarded in as
unfallible a light as in the old days.
Back in the days before everybody took
the daily papers, there was a popular
belief that whatever kind of weather
happened on st. Swithin's Day would
continue daily for forty days without
fail.
st. Swithin, an English bishop who
died on July 2. So, left orders that he
should be buried in the middle of the
road. SO that passers-by could tread
upon him and keep his spirit duly hum
ole. On July Is. s7l. King Erhelbert or
dered that the body be removed to the
Cathedral of Winchester.
But, on the day ST. Swithin's bones
were carried to the cathedral a great
downpour of rain came and 1t continued
for forty days. Taken as a manifesto
ton of the good bishops disapprovaI
of the act of removing his remains,
weather was watched with extreme
care.
For centuries. doubling Thomases
have had their attention called to the
following old poem. which has been cit
ed as proof Of st. Swithin's wiz
ardry:
st. Swithin's Day. IL thou dost rain,
For, forty days II will remain.
st. Swithin's Day, IL thou be fair,
For forty days twill rain ma mair."

RALPH De PALMA
WILL TRY AGAIN
SEEKS PRIZE IN BIG INDIANAPO-
LIS FIVE HUNDRED-MILE
RACE

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 23.--Ralph
De Palma, the young Italian Amer
lean, who came near winning the
second annual 500-mile international
sweepstakes race at the Indianapolis
speedway last year, but whose engine
went bad on the final lap, will again
try his luck in the third annual 1--WE
century contest, which Is scheduled
for May 30th.
De Palma recently visited Indian
apolis TO make arrangements for
garage space at the speedway and
to contract for hotel accommodations
for himself and his racing crew. De
Palma win head n three-car team. the
other drivers being Caleb Bragg and
Spencer Wishart. These men will
drive Mercer cars in the big race.
II will be remembered that n few
weeks ago n story emanating from
Texas was sent abroad to the effect
that De Palma had lost his nerve and
had retired from the racing game for
ever. When traced to its source IL
was learned that this gossip had
been circulated by an unknown man
who represented himself as being De
Palma.
The italian driver at this time was
not even in Texas, but in New York,
and instead of thinking Of retiring he
was making active preparations to en-
ter the Indianapolis race. The story
Of his alleged retirement was & sad
blow to racing enthusiasts. for De
Palma stands high in the regard Of
sportsmen and Is one of the most
popular race drivers in the United
States today
He has won thousands of friends
both in and out of the racing game
and now that it Is definitely known
that he will participate in the COM
ing 500-mile race at indianapolis
there is general rejoicing In automo-
bile circles.
De Palma has completely recovered
from the injuries he sustained dur
ing the grand prize race in Milwaukee
last fall and is now looking as well
as ever he did in his life. He has
taken on. considerable weight, but
SAYS that with a month of training,
which he will undergo previous to
the race. he will reduce to his regu-
lar weight. He plans TO arrive In
Indianapolis with his teammates dur
ing the latter part Of April and to
spend the time between then and the
call for the race in practice on the
Indianapolis motor speedway.
