has a mind Of its own. The animal
outgrows its bivalve shell and builds
q very pretentious dwelling after

bivalve model. All organs Of the
body are changed to f1t into the life
lived in the new residence.
The watering pots belong to the
family Gastrochaenidae. Their habi-
tat Is the Red Sea. When they first
start of on their own, they have

had received a favorable response.
He added that army officials in
Washington had cabled Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, Allied COM
mander-in-chief in the Mediterran-
ian theater, and had received the
following reply:
Il not only want those teams,
but insist that they stay over
here for 80 days."
Concerning Stems broadcast,
hickey said, Il have said nothing

Major league officials, though de-
Ginning to have their names used,

The proposal suggested that
teams representing the National

army transport to the Mediterran-
can as soon as possible after the

in early October.
Volunteers
Outstanding players in both cir
cuits-including some participants
in the series - will make up the

the all-stars has not been decided
upon yet. But the men selected will
be asked to volunteer for the trip

be made to force them to 60. Man.
ayers of the teams competing in
the world series-probably Billy

Joe Mccarthy of the Yankees-are

There is possibility that Babe

king, may be invited to accompany
the teams.

New York-Most persistent query
IN weeks Is whether it rained in
Waynesburg, Pa, July 20.
Clair Bee, famous Long Island
University basketball coach, had us
up and on the telephone hours
ahead of schedule the morning of
the 30th. Bee, now associated with
a Hoboken ship-building firm, was
interested to the extent of several
hundreds OF dollars in War Bonds.
An alumnuS of Waynesburg College,
he long has been a member of the
Greene County seats mythical
Rainy Day Club.
BY this time you must be straining
from the suspense, so here is the
answer:
Those who wagered it would rain
won hands down. A few drops are
enough to win, and 1t rained three
times. The weather man didn't keep
those who played the rain waiting
It rained as early as 1922 A. NJ
and, to make the decision easy for
the official umpire, repeated at APO
A. M. and ITO P. M.
Waynesburgs Rainy Day tradi-
ton dates back 10 years, when a
Greene County farmer in conversa-
ton with the late William Allison
remarked that he had kept a record
of the weather on July 20 and that
it had not failed to rain on that
date in 20 years.
Allison from that day became
Waynesburg's unofficial July 20
weather recorder. Each year a nota-
ton Of the weather on the date was
set down in an order book in the
old J. T. Rogers drug store. Upon
Allison's death, his brother, Albert,
also employed in the drug store, kept
the record until some years ago. 1t
was In turn taken up by Byon B.
Daily, who subsequently acquired
ownership Of the drug store. Daily
died four years ago, and since that
time his son, John L.. an attorney,
has kept the record.
During Byron Daily's time 1t was
his custom to bet hat on the July
20 rain. and he won so many that
he never could wear them all out.
As In all small college towns, the
drug store was the hangout for the
Monday morning quarterback and
such OF Waynesburg athletics, and
the Rainy Day tradition was adopt
ed by the college.
Clair Bee remembers how, when
he was an undergraduate, they got
kegs of beer and awaited the pay-off
precipitation. BY evening, he re-
calls, they didn't care whether 1t
yained or not.
Faynesburg College men spread
the tradition throughout the coun-
try, and this year wagers on the
July 20 weather were posted through
