is THE HOT MONTH
July Was Once Dreaded Because Ot
The Epidemics OF Disease and
and Other Calamities
indianapolis News)

That July now has 81 days is due
to julius Caesars special affection for
the month of his birth, and to this cir
cumstance 1t also owes its name. July
was originally Quintillis, the fifth
month of the Roman year, with 30
days. Romulus reduced it to 81 days,
and Numa to 30, and thus it stood for
several centuries. But julius Caesar
changed it back to 81 days, and thus
it stands today. After Caesars death
Mark Antony changed the name to
July in honor of the name of Caesar.
Brady gives the following explanation
of the change: "This month he select
ed for such honorary distinction when
the sun was generally most potent, the
more effectually to denote that julius
was the Emperor of the world, and,
therefore, the appropriate leader of
one half of the year" The SaXons
called July Hey Monath or Maed
Monath, because during this time they
moved and harvested their hay and
the meads were in their bloom.
The Romans noted that during July
there were epidemics of disease and
othe calamities incident to the great
heat, and when they turned to the
stars for an explanation they put the
blame on Canicula-the little dog
because between July and August IL
/ il rose in coincidence with the sun
The days between these dates were
called dog days, not because dogs had
| anything to do with them, but because
they happened to be associated with a
star named "the little dog" But the
fiction persisted and became a tradi-
ton. Finally public opinion came
around to the belief that during this
period dogs were dangerous; that they
: were likely to go mad from the heat
and that the bite at this time was
more dangerous than at any otner
time of the year.
With modern sanitation and preven
tive medicine, July is no longer looked
upon as the month of virulent diseas
es, but, like the Roman July 1t re-
mains the warmest month. According
to records which have been Kept al
the local Weather Bureau since 1871
the mean temperature of the month
for "A years is 75.9, with August sec
ond at 1913, and June third, at fz'S
The coolest Julys during this perloo
were in 1882, 1891 and 1903, when the

That is because they are human be-
ings, not to say sisters, daughters,
mothers and wives, as we'll as patriots
and pioneers, we suppose. And the
shock which befell them when they
came to witness hat purchasing by
other women's brothers, sons, fathers
and husbands is not difficult to under
stand
1t is only the hypocrisy of the sexes
that makes the male hat store so abb
surd spectacle. Hats are just as
important for men as for women. A
shy peanut of hat perched upon q
male of such girth is crime. Very
likely most men can't be made beauti-
full. But at least they need not be RI

ion and shape to architecture are
anything but wasted. There can be
no possible fault to find with the ever
so-particular man. It is simply the
self-conscious pretense, that heirloom
OF masculinism in its prime, sup
posed rugged, swift male decisiveness
of character. which makes jeer con-
ceivable.
Men as they axA should be the slo-
gan for the future Taken so, they
have an astonishing array of good
! points. Even their stick sentimental
ism, that intense emotionalism which
every wife and mother has to learn to
endure, has its winning side. A fussy,
touchy, yet withal good-natured ami
NAL, there is no earthly reason why

mean temperature was 50. The warm
est weather in the whole period of A
years was recorded on July 2, 1901,
when the thermometer registered LOG;
and the coolest July day in the same
period was July 1885, when the low
est temperature was 4S, almost cool
enough to frost. Last July the warm
est day was July 10, when the temper
ature was 81, and this was also the
warmest day last summer; the coolest
July day last year was on July 8,
when the temperature was So, and
the mean temperature for the month
was 73, one degree above the coolest
Julys on the local records. The aver
age for July in both 1918 and 1914 was
7S.
Contrary to the belief that July is
the driest month in the year, the To-
cal records show that July is the
wettest month in the year. The aver
age monthly precipitation for the
month since 1871 is 42O inches. For
June during the same period it is 4.06
for August 1928, for September 3.03
July also molds the record for the
wettest month in the entire period
During July, 1875, when wheat sprout
ed in the shock all over the state and
the crop was almost complete fail
ure, 1912 inches of rain fell during
| the month. The driest July during the
period was in 1914, when the tota
precipitation was only 0.49 inches
Last year it was 7.94 inches, which was
the fourth wettest month in "A years

sTuPENDous sURNAMEs
(London Chronicle)

(London Chrnn1cle)
The bearers of some of the sur
names which appear in medieval doc
uments must have been glad of an ex-
cuse to change them. Apparently this
was done, for the more grotesque have
either vanished or been modified out
of recognition. Among the former are
such names as Alice Thepundersstep-
doghtre, Mazelina Stabwourchman,
Frethesanccia Del Countynghouse,
Godisman Attestretesende and Thorn
as Wrangwisshe, which certainly have
no claimants nowadays.
Many surnames derived from trade
or service have been contracted, such
as lie Lindraper into Draper, LIE
Couhirde into Coward LIE Chapelayn
into Chaplin and lie Gresuenour (gros
veneur) into Grosvenor.

1t is in accord with much else forth
coming from these hard and ruthless
days, but we cannot withhold tear
at the barring of mans more than wo-
manly tactics in the purchase of hat,
The suffragists doubtless selected hat
stores in which to sell their baseball
tickets in utter innocence of mind. For
all their bravery Of soul and attention
to this little matter of the sexes, they
are still absurdly trusting in spots.

Governor WISHES
EVANGELIST we'll

Governor Miller was the guest of
honor at the business mems luncheon
served in Odd Fellows Hall. Tenth
and King streets at noon today in con-
nection with the Lyon Evangelistic
Campaign. More than 200 men were
present.
Mayor Price had the honor of bring
ing the governor to the luncheon and
he introduced him TO DR.. Lyon. The
governor made a few remarks in which
he told of the great pleasure il gave
him to be present. He thought the
large gathering of business men ought
to be encouraging 10 Mayor Price
and DR.. Lyon. He expressed the opin.
ion that the city would be greatly
benefited by the campaign and said il
would tend to draw the different
churches closer together. He extend
ed TO DR.. Lyon a cordial welcome to
the State and expressed the hope that
he seed planted by DR.. Lyon would
bring lasting results.
DR.. Lyon made a brief address in
which he said that too many men
placed the account OF life in the wrong
place that they paid too much at
tention to the little things and ne
elected the larger things. He stated
that while good physical condition
OF the body was necessary and the in
tellectual. financial and social sides
OF life had to be looked after. all these
were surpassed in importance by the
necessity Of a Christian life.
The luncheon was served under the
auspices Of the Ladies' Aid Society CT
Hanover Presbyterian Church by the
following: AIRS. T. T. Cloward. Mrs.
Mary Lamar, Mrs. r. L. Jackson, Mrs
/ Hackett. Mrs. Griffith. Mrs. A. L. Tyre
