St. Swithin's Best Will
Not Equal His Worst in
Former Summer Showers

No records will be broken in Har-
risburg during the present sway of
st. Swithin, according to the belief
of Weather Forecaster E. r. De-
main, of the city bureau.
st. Swithin's grip on the city and
community will not last more than
twenty-four hours longer accord
ing to Mr.. Domain. The weather
will continue unsettled for that
period of time, after which the skies
will clear again and the sun shine
forth, following the dispersal of the
low pressure area that has been
hanging over this territory for the
past several days.
The total rainfall reported thus
far this month is 5.65 inches, but
unless some unforeseen wet weather
comes to the city, it is believed
that old records will be nearly
reached. In August of 1915, a total
of, 1929 inches fell and no farther
back than in July, 1914, 6.21 inches
of rain fell in July. The July
precipitation record is S.6S inches,
which was reported in 1889. The
excess rainfall thus far in July is
$50 inches.
But five consecutive days of rain
have thus far been reported. and it
is practically certain that no new
records will be set in this respect
Nine consecutive days of rainfall
were reported in 1915.

Make Corrections
OPPONENTS ASSERT
IT INVITES VETO
Enforcement Measure Is De-
scribed by Members Oppos-
ing as Drastic Enough to
Provoke Disapproval

Washington, July p. - The
prohibition enforcement bill, de-
scribed by members opposing
it as drastic enough to invite a
Presidential veto, was finally
passed to-day by the House.
The vote was taken after a mo-
ton by Representative Igoe. Demo-
crat. Missouri, to recommit the bill
had been defeated 255 to 1876. Near
ly every member or the House was
in attendance and there was so
much noise during the rollcall that
Republican leader Mondell was re-
corded as supporting the Igoe mo-
ton. He was permitted to change
his vote.
The vote on the passage of the
bill was 2S7 to 100, with three men,
bers voting present.
Expect Changes
The measure now goes to the Sem
ate, but House managers of the
measure do not expect it will be
accepted here as a whole.
The House bill will be substituted
for the measure now being issued
by the Senate judiciary committee,
but Senate leaders were doubtful
whether the bill would be brought
before the Senate until the German
peace treaty had been disposed of,
involving a delay of many weeks.
When the House reached section
35, which contained the provision
that it was not unlawful to store
liquor at home for personal use,
first consideration was given Chair
man Volstead, of the judiciary COM
mittee. in charge of the bill, who
had two amendments These fixed
the time for reporting possession OF
intoXicants. In one which the
House accepted, the time specified
in the proclamation by the State
Department as to the effective date
of constitutional prohibition-Janu.
airy 16, 1920-was accepted with
out discussion.
Rubcy Proposal Defeated
Representative Rubey, Democrat
of Missouri, Immediately announced
his intention to throw the search
light on American wine cellars, re-
ported to be stocked with liquor
enough to last for generations. Hi:
amendment provided that a person
should not possess more than fift!
