Fair Weather For
 St. Swithin's s Day
Forecasters Predict Sunshine Tomorrow = Old j Legend Recalled

Tomorrow. the 18th, is St Swithfn's day and there is no doubt but, that thousands of Waterbur- ians, acquainted with the century old belief that the condition of the weather will have an important eff feet on the weather for the ensuing 40 days, are watching the weather mans predictions and the skies. Despite the fact that the weather bureaus records have proven the theory concerning St Swithin's day to be entirely unfounded, there are people in the world who yet believe that if it rains tomorrow it will continue to be damp weather for the following 40 days.
 The legend concerning St Swithin's day was built up around a monk who was born in the year 800 A. D. who became the religious leader of his community. When he died he left directions that he be buried in a "vile and unworthy place" where the feet of passersby might tread and the. rain from heaven fall on his grave. The north side of the church in Win chester. England, was selected as

Bequest Illegal

TORONTO, Ont, June %. U.P)-
A plan for financing the birth of
"eugenic babies" has been frus-
trated by a Toronto justice who
ruled the bequest was not for
charitable purposes.
The late Watson G. Wilson of
Hamilton, Ont, bequeathed $296,241
to establish a foundation which
would induce physically and mem
tally fit Wentworth county couples
to give birth to children.
The will specified that each pros =
pectiye parent must undergo a rig
orous examination to determine
fitness for parenthood. Children
were to be examined when II
years old, and if SO per cent perfect,
were to receive $500 each. If they
remained SO per cent perfect at the
age of q, they were to get an
other $500.
Justice w. A. Logic, however,
held the beguest invalid.
Walton asked in his will that
Mrs. Beatrice L. Kendall, Glendale,
Calf, nurse, be made paid secre-
tary of the foundation and one of
its governors.

CONVENTION HEADQUARTERS
CHICAGO, June 28.-Repeal of the
eighteenth amendment, immediate
modification of the Volstead ACT
and ultimate return to the states
of complete control over the liquor
traffic was agreed upon today by
vets as the program they would
offer the Democratic national con-
vention.
Sen. David I. Walsh Dem)
Massachusetts, announced the
agreement. He said he was not
yet claiming a majority of dele
gates for the wet plank but that
there was a substantial block of
votes he believed would develop to
majority.
All or part of 20 delegations rep
resenting upwards of 400 votes are
said to be committed already to
the wet plank Some enthusiastic
vets are promising that beer is
just around the corner"
The text of the plank agreed
upon was announced as follows:
I'VE favor the repeal of the
eighteenth amendment.
I'VE demand that the congress
Immediately propose such repeal to
truly representative conventions in
the states called to act solely on
that proposal.
1--WE urge that the Democratic
party cooperate in the enactment
of such measures by the several
states as will actually promote
temperance, effectively prevent the
return of the saloon and bring the
liquor traffic into the open under
complete supervision and control
by the states.
I'VE demand that the federal
government effectively exercise its
power to protect states against i'm
portation of intoxicating liquors in
violation of their laws.
Pending repeal, we favor i'm
mediate modification of the Vol
stead act to legalize the manutac-
ture and sale of beer and other
beverages of such alcoholic content
as is permissible under the con-
stitution and to provide therefrom
a proper and needed revenue"
