Tie statue of 1.-THE Republic" by
Daniel Chester French, modelled
originally for the Chicago worlds
fair. has lately been put in perma-
nent material and placed in Jackson
Park, Chicago.
This is work Of exceptional beauty
and it is well indeed that it should
find preservation. The cost of the
casting, approximately $4,000, was
met by a surplus on the books of the
fair when all debts were paid, to-
gether with interest accruing thereon.
Mr.. French, it will be remembered,
is the sculptor of 1.-The Gallaudet

there is shortage of the so-called

does not flag and exhibitions are be-
ing held much as usual. In the gall

summer A memorial exhibition Of
paintings by Sir Alfred East. for many
years one of England'S foremost land
scape painters.
Upon two occasions. when serving
on the international jury at the Car
negie Institute, Sir Alfred visited
Washington, and, finding this city in
its best spring dress, was enthusiastic
over it's beauty.
He was an indefatigable sketcher
and made special study Of trees,
knowing their anatomy as surgeon
would know that of human being.
He painted trees with their roots
deep under ground" and his pictures
of English woodlands are particularly
enchanting. One of Sir Alfred's paint
ings, 1.-THE Rainbow" shown at the
Royal Academy of four years ago, has
been for some time on exhibition here
in our National Gallery.

ST. SWITHIN'S DAY
AND ITS LEGEND

Monday. July Is, was st Swithin's
day
IF on ST Swith it prove fair, tenn
perate winter will follow; but if
rainy, stormy or windy. then the con-
traIy" So says the author of the
shepherds Kalendar"
That it should rain for forty days
after a wet ST. Swithin, appears to
have been an article of popular belief,
even in Anglo Saxon times.
The legend of the day is that the
saint, who died in SOS. desired to be
buried in the open churchyard. not in
the chapel of the minister, as was us
ual with bishops; this desire was COM
piled with; but on his being canoniz-
ed, the monks. thinking it disgraceful
for the saint tc lie in the open eeme-
terry, determined to remove his body
into the choir This was attempted
with solemn procession on the 18th of
July; it. rained however so violently
for forty days together that the design
was abandoned The monks, finding
it vain to contend with one who had
the elements so entirely under his
control, like discreet and prudent men
let him have his own way: he, to show
his opinion of their conduct, and to
warn others against interfering with
the wishes of the dead, still continues
the forty days rain Unfortunately
for the truth of the legend. the saints
relics were in 971 translated by st.
Athelwold to a shrine, and in 1894 re-
translated to Winchester Cathedral
by Bishop Walkelin.
1t did not rain on Monday, St
Swithin's day, and those who believe
in the legend say it will not rain for
forty days to come.

Yesterday was a hard day for the
500 men. for they were on the go from
reyeille at 5.45 o'clock in the morning
until 5ko'clock in the evening. The
day was devoted to squad drills in ex-
tended order with especial instruction
to signals, company drills in extended
order, and battalion drills on close or
der.
The men showed plenty o pep"
in their work, and. according to the
officers in charge. they did well for
the short period Of training they have
had. This was due in part to he fact
that Colonel Riggs was out on the field
himself, ana he saw TO it hat every
thing was done to enlighten the men
in the proper method of training.

troops on the border. began his series

THE increase in express rates re-
Gently granted by the Interstate Com

President Taylor of the new com
pany in an interview has said that he
had been in session with his chief
operating officials and that they will
| begin Immediately readjustment of
the wage schedules of the larger num-
Der of express employees throughout
the entire country and that it is the
intention of the new company to utiI-
ize substantially the entire revenue ac-
cruing from the increased rates that
will be available to the express COM
pany in an advance in wages. 1t will
be appreciated that with such an
enormous organization throughout the
entire country it will necessarily take
some little time TO work out the in
creases in a systematic and equitable
manner. II is hoped this entire ques-
ton can be disposed of within a period
of thirty days. However, the en-
ployees viii not suffer in consequence
of this delay inasmuch as all in
creases when announced will be made
TO take effct from July /, 1918. None
of this money will be used to increase

GOVERNMENT FEARS
STEEL SHORTAGE

Government demand for steel has
reached such proportions. it was
learned yesterday because of the
growth of the war program, that Off
Gals of the War Industries Board fear
present sources of supply will soon
prove inadequate.
Action was taken at yesterdays
meeting OF the Board to prevent steel
from finding its way to industries not
holding war contracts through re-
selling. Manufacturers were warned
that those who have obtained steel on
priority orders for war work and later
were found to be re-selling it to nom
war manufacturers would have their
supply cut or This practice has been
in vogue, the board learned
All private consumers of steel and
steel products may be required to sub
NIT sworn inventories of their stocks
on hand. 1t was found that many
manufacturers had obtained large
quantities of steel before the Govern
neDt took control of the entire out
put. BY means of the inventories. ].
Leonard Replogle, director of steel
supply of the War Industries Board,
will be able to keep close check on
all steel in the country.
