SWITH|N

The origin of the popular belief that St. Swithin's Day-which falls on the day of July = affects the weather for forty. days thereafter prob ably goes back to pagan times. St. Swithin was bishop of Winchester in the ninth century, which was quite some time ago, but the superstition with which his name has since been connected was old before he was born. In England, as in other countries, the pagans believed that the weather in mid-puly might be accepted as sam pie of the kind that would be supplied during the remainder of the summer. Just because St. Swithin's festival hap pened to come at this time, the old weather lore was connected with his name, and fables were then invented to support,the theory that Swithin had something to do with the rainfall Ac- cording to the old notion, if it rains to-day there will be a wet period of forty days following, while fair wealth CT means .dry spell" of similar du- ration. Meteorological records lend no support to the St. Swithin Day legend, but at that it is about as ac-
 curate as any of the weather signs
 in which our ancestors firmly believ- ed.

Rome, July 15-A strong demand has arisen in the press and among the public for cancellation of the agree ment between Italy and Germany whereby the rights of citizens of each country within the others domain were to be respected, violation. of the agreement by Germany being alleged.
 The situation is such that the rela- tions of Italy and Germany seem to have reached greater tension than at any time since the war began. A demand is now being voiced for abro- gation of the agreement which, in addition to the alleged disregard of it's provisionss by Germany, has re- suited in misunderstanding in allied nations regarding the situation, all though their governments were aware of the true conditions and were con- vinced of the compIicit loyalty of Italy to the entente cause.

WILLIAM WINTER
 IS 30 TO-DAY

William Winter, dean of the worlds dramatic critics and admittedly the ablest among them, will to-day join the ranks of the octogenarians, as he was orn in Gloucester, Mass, eighty years ago, July 15. 1886. As his birth day comes in mid summer, when most of fhe leaders of the dramatic world have left New York for their summer homes, the anniversary was commemo- rated last March with a testimonial at the Century Theatre in New York which ranked among the most notable tributes ever paid to an American man of letters. Seldom before have so many of the intellectual leaders of a nation gathered to pay their respects to a scholar and critic as were pres ent at the Winter testimonial.
 MT. Winter was educated for the law and was admitted to the Massa- chusetts bar in 1857, but he rejected his first case and determined to devote himself to literature. He began writ | ing when a child and has been a reg ular contributor to newspapers and magazines since 1852. His first dra- matic criticism was written and pub lished in 1854 His connection with | the New. York Tribune, which was ter
 minated a few years ago. began in l1865, and during his nearly half a century of service on the staff of that , paper he was Known throughout the world as the ablest and most fearless of Americas commentators on the stage. His work covered the period of American drama from the days of Edwin Booth and Edwin Forrest down to the stars of today and tis safe to
 say that he never wrote a line which
 was inspired by any but the highest and most fearless of motives.
 MT. Winters greatest fame has been
 as a critic, and this has somewhat
 eclipsed, his fame as poet, although l in the opinion of many judges of poet
 ry he ranks among the best in Amerf- ca. Since retiring from regular newspaper work the veter8h man oi letters has written much verse. One of his latest and most notable poems
 bears the title of My England" whict concludes with the following verse:
 My England, strike! Droop not, nol I pause,
 Then take grateful worlds applause
 Millions of hearts that beat 1ikt mine.pi
 MT. Winter resigned from the Fri bune's staff in 1909. Long before thar he seemed pathetically old and wear jed with the world, and he often jest Iingly remarked that his constitution was a total wreck and that he wal Aliving on his bylaws. He seldom

 Co-Operation.

Cooperation of the physicians or Bridgeport was offered yesterday to Dr. Abraham Sophian, the noted epi- demiologist in charge of the sanita- tion here and accepted. pr. Sophian met about 30 local physicians at Q special meeting of the Bridgeport Medical society called by Dr. D. M- Trecartin, president, last night. The infantile paralysis expert addressed them upon the technicalities of the subject and asked for their full and complete aid.
 That parents might not have their children taken away from them un- necessarily became of faulty diag- nosis he asked for a diagnosis board. treatment board and an advisory board to be nominated from the ranks of the society. A prompt response resulted and these physicians and members of the board of health werc nominated:
 Diagnosis: Drs. Ch arles N. Haskell. John c. Lynch, H. Le Baron Peters, S. M. Garlick and F. L. Day.
 Treatment: Drs. Edward M. Smith, F. W. Stevens, George E. Ober, Chas. H. Sprague, N. T. Pratt, J. F. Shea, J. Formichella, B. L. Smykowski. Daniel P. Griffin and c. J. Leverty.
 Advisory: Colonel valery Havard, Drs V. P. Gibney, Edward Fitzgerald. c. c. Godfrey, Henry Blodget. D. H.. Monahan. J. H. Callahan and Attor-. ney William Zepp. The three latter are board of health commissioners. In outlining necessities to the To- cal physicians Dr. Sophian called ar- tention to the fact that more nurses and inspectors are needed in the de- partment. Local physicians have been unable to get trained nurses in Bridgeport and have already deserted to other cities. Steps will be taken to get more iere at once.
 Two months will be required to place the city in an absolutely sani- tary condition and drive out the paralysis germs.
 At a meeting of the board of ! health and an inspection of possible quarters for infected patients it was decided yesterday to utilize a wing of | the new Hillside home, which is said to be ideal for the purpose The old Lakeview home building was declared too insanitary for the purpose. A meeting of the Chamber of Com merce directors held in the Algonquin club yesterday resulted in determina- ton to cooperate in every way with the health board in stamping out dis ease and remedying unsanitary condi- tions in the city.
