Last Friday being St. Swithin's Day
and it having rained before midnight
on that day, you can put it down that
it's going to rain sometime during
every day for forty days-that is, if
one believes in the veracity of age-old
legends.
The story that it will rain for 40
days if a single drop falls on St.
Swithin's Day has been handed down
from generation to generation for CEN
turtles and is firmly embedded in the
lives of English speaking people.
St. Swithin was an Englishman, so
the myth afirms, who lived in the
ninth century, A. D. In 1852 he was
made Bishop of Winchester, which,
after Canterbury, is the most ancient
see in England. During the reigns of
King Egbert and King Ethelwolf,
Bishop Swithin held the chancellorship
but despite his high Office and with
extraordinary modesty he made re-

Daily Health News
Fresh Vegetables
In Diet Supply
Iron Needs
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor, Journal of the American

Mc01C0I ASSOCIATION
Some years ago there was a great
advertising campaign on behalf of
raisins, based on the idea that hui
mans did not get enough iron in their
food and therefore ought to eat a
great many raisins for excess iron.
True, raisins do contain iron, but
they also provide the person who eats
them with seeds, pulp, stems and
other material which he may not want
and which are irritating to a sensitive
intestinal tract.
The Bureau of Home Economics of
the U. s. Department of Agriculture
recently has made available report
by Hazel K. Stiegeling concerning the
iron content of ordinary vegetables
and fruits. Not all food substances
are equally rich in this important
metal.
The metal is important because it
takes part in the formation of the
haemoglobin or red coloring matter of
the blood. If there is insufficient
haemoglobin, breathing is difficult,
energy disappears. and resistance to
disease is apparently lowered.
The investigator examined speci-
mems of fruits and vegetables from
various parts of the country and
checked up reports made by chemists.
He found certain fruit juices and
foods are exceedingly poor in iro,l
content The list includes apples, Gu
cumbers, grapefruit, lemon and orange

Bull Fights VS.. Movies

The bull fight is popularity sup
posed to be Mexicos favorite diver
sion; but a brief article in a thea
trical magazine recently indicates
that the movies have pushed the bull
ring into very poor second place.
During 1880, there were sold in
Mexico City and it's environs some
1880, 900 admissions to places of
public amusement. OF these, almost
100000 were tickets to the movies:
and only 100000 were tickets to bull
fights.
Just what all Of this proves is not
entirely clear; in the United States,
for example, the movies outdraw
baseball by a wide margin, but base
ball is far from losing it's popularity.
1t does indicate, though, that the bull
fight may not be quite as great an
obsession with the Mexicans as we
commonly suppose.

traordinary amount Of caution. They
fear nothing so much as q real live
issue. When they fight they take
good care to get all the big guns on
their side. They reserve their heav-
lest blasts for insignificant oppon-
ents who cannot fight back effcc-
lively.
The commonest explanation for this
sad state of affairs is that it Is inev-
liable In democracy. OFFICE holders
depend on votes for their jobs. II they
make enemies they lose votes. The
pressure to straddle, to compromise,
to placate powerful minorities and
minority leaders is almost over
whelming.
Oddly enough, though, casual
glance at American political history
will show that this sort OF thing isn't
in the least necessary. The politicians
are revealing, not the fundamental
fault of democracy, but their own
weakness.
What has happened is that the poll
ticians have made the mistake of un-
derestimating the common sense and
good judgment of the electorate.
The greatest figures in American
political history are the men who
dared to make enemies-the men who
were willing to follow their own con-
ceptions Of right and trust to the cleo
torate for an accurate understanding
Of them.
Jackson, Lincoln, Cleveland, Roose-
welt, Wilson-they were, one and all. |
fighters, enemy-makers. They knew
politics, of course; they could COM
promise when they had to; but they
could also adopt an unpopular line of |
attack and stick to 1t no matter how
great the risks to their own personal
fortunes. And 1t is worth remember
ing that the electorate stood by them
lime and again.
The cowardice of our politicians, in
)ther words, isn't an inevitable part
IT democracy. Let a really bold and
determined political leader appear to-
lay and the response he would get
night be astonishing.

A FreakiSh Accident

Accidents can be freakish, some
times. An Ohio widow is suing an in
surance company for $4,000 worth of
accident insurance, and in her claim
she describes what surely must be one
Of the oldest accidents ever recorded.
Her husband was playing golf. HAY
ing driven off from the first tee, he
started strolling down the fairway,
swinging his club as any golfer might.
Somehow the shaft of the club got en-
tangled in his legs and trippcd him.
He fell, struck his head on the end of
the club, and died a short time later.
Sometimes it almost seems as if
there were cruelty impish fate that

Mr.. Fish Sights an Issue.
Minneapolis Tribune

Representative Fish of New York
can work up a high class case of
nerves over Soviet Russia quicker than
any man in congress, so it is scarcely
surprising to learn that he is already
hurting the thunderbolts of challenge
at the Democratic party, and defying
it to take stand for recognition.
Mr.. Fish, apparently, thinks that
this country's relationships with Rus
STA are going to constitute one of the
really vital issues of the forthcoming
campaign, and that the American peo-
pie are simply itching for the oppor-
tunity to march to the polls and cast
their ballots for or against a policy of
recognition. He is plainly perturbed
because Senator Robinson Of Arkansas
and Representative Rainey of Illinois
have both announced themselves in
favor Of such policy and he would
like to know in short order whether
theirs is the official Democratic point
of view. -
While we sincerely hope that some
one will enlighten Mr.. Fish on this
pOAiAO 0CAOlC AlC UCCOIlCS
apoplectic on the matter, we are still
disposed to believe that he is trying
to drag what is essentially minor
campaign issue into the main political
arena. He has been shudderiug over
the Soviet DOGGY man for so long that
he seems to have honestly come to be.
lieve that the nation itself Is in per-
petual state Of quake and CULVER over
the question Of Russian recognition.

American people appear to have
enough to worry about in the ap-
preaching campaign without joining

ceivably arrange with Mr.. Fish ia

recognition. Just at present, however
