ST. SWITHIN'S DAY.

Do you fear a black cat crossing
your path? Do you carry in your
left hind brooches pocket the foot
of a rabbit killed in a cemetery in
the dark OF the moon by cross-eyed
darkey. believing that it will bring
good luck? Then you Of course know
that tomorrow is St. Swithin's day.
The saying is:
St. Swithin's day il thou dost rain
For forty days il will remain;
St. Swithin's day il thou art fair,
For forty days il will rain ma mair.
Unfortunately for legend, tradi-
tion and folk lore. St. Swithin's day
is not an infallible weather prophet.
4 man whose hobby is to live long
in the land. and who has so much
pelt that he feels it would be a shame
to work for more. has devoted CON
siderable time TO investigating the
truth or falsity of such beliefs. He
states that there is no place in the
United States where official weather
records are kept which has ever full
filed St Swithins prophecy. Invari-
ably before the forty days have passed
il either rains bit. or II il has been
raining, fair weather comes.
Thus many OF our proverbs arc only
partially true. The saying probably
became popular because in some dec
ade. perhaps centuries ago, forty fair
days followed fair ST Swithin's day.
and forty wet days a wet St. Swithin's
day.
We would not imply however. that
those who believe in this sign are be-
reft OF reason. Far from it; the

price OF coal at the mi-es, was beaten
by tho coal lobby. which has been
at homo In the Capitol since the Re-
publican administration hung up its
hat. The resolution itself was put
over until October. when it will be
further considered. and an investi-
CATION held-maybe.
IL the coal trust is not gouging
the public. why then is gigantic
lobby maintained in Washington?
and why does it fear investigation by
the Republican party. which has ever
been noted as the friend OF the pub
lies sandtaggers? Does 1t feel that
its acts are such that even Repub-
lican Congress could not condone It?
IL you are that methodicaI type of
person who keeps a record of all cx-
penditures. look over your check stubs
and observe how the price OF coal has
risen. Before 1918 coal was at arespect-
able figure. Notwithstanding wars
demands. Then Republican Con-
gress was elected I'm the fall of that
year. The coal lobby gave one shout
of joy, hoisted the price of coal. and
journeyed to the Capitol, from which
place it had previously been booted
out by Woodrow Wilson.
Gradually the price of coal went
up. up, up. In March. 1920. it reached
s12.2o-not for a ton. but for 1000
pounds only. Now IL is lowering
around s15--and for that 1000 pound
lot. which is more than ten per cent
less than a ton.
Senator Frelinghuysen made gal
liant fight. but the friends of the coal
trust won. Now YOU, US & co.
will pay a higher price next winter.
because certain beloved patriots who
form the Republican majority in Con
greg decided that the price OF coal
does not need investigating. But what
do you. the consumer, think?
We repeat our question. why does
the coal trrst fear investigation even
by the Republican party? Write your
own answer.

SENATOR BALL AND RENTS.

One of our subscribers who lives in
Union Park Gardens writes to us as
follows:
If Senator Ball took as much inter-
est in trying 10 reduce the high rents
in Wilmington as he does in Washing
ton it would be more to his credit"
That is a terse statement. hiding
within it a stick OF political dyna-
mite.
We also have admired the good
Senator's laudable efforts TO make life
more livable in washington-wher
incidentally. Senator BAH has to rent
q house. unless ne already owns an
estate there. or else boards. The Sena-
tor certainly has made a national
reputation for himself by his humani-
tartan efforts
What pity ii is. then. to have one
Of his own constituents cast a horsehy
into his political ointment. What
do these people in wilmington mean
by demanding legislation for their :
selves? is it not sufficient that Della
ware shines by the reflected light
which falls on our Senator's shining
ar,nor? Hark, cannot you hear the
Washington angels singing his praises
OF course Senator Ball could not
force all landlords in Wilmington to
lower their prices. The law of sup
ply and demand. and the lack Of an
adequate legal law would prevent such
action. But now that there are many
vacancies in Unien Park Gardens, now
that there is no demand for those
houses. could not our doughty enemy
Of the landlords union induce the gov
ernment. which owns the Gardens. to
take a hand and aid in bringing dowI.
the price of rents in that one section ?
Senator Ball has done good work in
Washington for the Washingtonians.
We would not detract from the halo
Of glory which shines about his classic
brow. But what, pray. has he done
for Wilmington. and especially those
persons living in Union Park Gar
dens? This is the question which some
of his constituents, who lack proper
respect for the Lords anointed, arc
asking.

JUST FOLKS
A CREED.
By Edgar 4 Guest

To face the burdens cf the day
With courage and without complaint +:
To keep my record free from tsint
To spend little time in play;
If peace abides within my door,
To envy no mans larger store.
To keep the right and follow straight
The path my wisdom bids me tread.
Though difficulties lie ahead;
To work and be content 10 wait
Until the distant bend is turned
And greater joys are fairly earned.
To ask no special grants from life.
Save strength TO meet what all must
meet;
To be unconquered by defeat.
And not made bitter by the strife,
To gain what victories ] can.
But to the end TO play the man.
