Only New York, which has
7.8 million persons bustling

at Chicago, a big time city in

Area Soaked
For 1st Time
In 2 Months

The first soaking rain in
more than two and a half
months drenched the WASH
ington area yesterday and to-
day, temporarily ending the
threat Of forest fires and
parched crops in this part Of
the Nation.
The Weather Bureau said
more than 2 inches of rain
had fallen by noon today and
it was likely the rainfall would
total well over that before
ending some time tonight.
It has been raining more or
less steadily over a wide area
of Maryland and Virginia since
midnight Saturday.
The last substantial rain in
this region was recorded on
March IL when there was Ill
inches. Then followed two OF
the driest months in memory.
April, which normally brings
the Nations capital and sur
rounding areas 200 inches, was
dampened only by 80 inches.
May was even worse. Wood
lands became finder dry and
farmers grew increasingly
gloomy as May came and went
with only 20 inches. The nor
NAL May rainfall is 3.46.
Forest fires and runaway
brushfires became an everyday
menace and ranged over wide
areas Of Maryland and Vir-
ginia. Thousands Of acres OF
woodland went up in smoke.
The current heavy rain came
as a gift from the Bahamas
region when a low pressure
system, now located off Cape
Hatteras, moved up the At
lantic Coast, dumping rain
over many States badly needing

committee" to investigate the
matter. The committee nor

First Instance in Memory
He said this is the first time
he could recall the bars re-
ceiving a complaint from a
lawyer involving a judge.
Judge Burnett's accusations
came after Michael j. Spatola,
80, of the 1900 block Of Massa-
chusetts avenue NV. a hotel
bellhop, testified that Mr..
Hardy agreed to drop assault
and battery charges against
him If he would sign a waiver
for his appearance in an Ala
bama court where his wife was
seeking a divorce. Mr.. Hardy
was representing Mrs. Ellis H.
Iacone) Spatola in the divorce
case.
In testimony before Judge
Burnett, Mr.. Hardy emphati-
cally denied Mr.. Spatola's ac-
cusation. The, prosecutor said
later that Mrs. Spatola herself
had written the court In Mont
gomery County asking 1t to
drop the assault and battery
charges she had sworn out
earlier against her husband.

The
Rambler
Gets to
Be an Expert
BY JOHN McKELwAY

The Rambler has always
had a secret desire to be able
to remark to a child by his
side--or a hunting compan-
ion in the bush-that the di-
rection Of geese flying over
head means heavy SHOWS on
the morrow.
Some people seem to be
able to do this-particularly
in the movies. They are al
ways old and we ather-
beaten. They play relatively
minor roles and wear lum-
berjack shirts and usually
die in the very storms they
predict.
But they are not forgotten.
They knew what was coming
without television, the daily
newspaper or calling WE. s.
1912.
Recently, the Rambler was
slipped a book on the
weather. 1t Is short and
simple and you could prob
ably memorize the whole
thing in about a week If you
are a typical and/or a slow
reader. 49,.
After about a week, the
Rambler is now able to go
around telling people, when
smoke descends, good
weather ends"
"This is largely because"
he is able to continue, winds
preceding a storm curl down.
ward"
The book, which is full of
little sayings like this, is
called Folklore of American
Weather" BY a man named
Eric Shane.

ANIMALS, including cows,
Craze with their tails to the
wind so that they can see the
approach of the enemy. The
wind carries the scent OF
something coming up behind.
They are protected in that
direction. Since rain often Is
blown in from the east, the
COW would face west In this
situation.
While It would probably be
easier to call the weather bu-
reau, instead Of searching
the Washington area for a
COW, its a good thing to know
If you find yourself in some
barnyard without a compass.
Another interesting thing
to repeat to your friends is an
old American Indian saying:
when locks turn damp in
the scalp house, 1t will rain
on the morrow"
This means If your hair
gets sort Of limp, rain is on
the way. Human hair is used
In some weather instruments,
You may also add TO your
list of observations that flies
bite more before a rain. This
is apparently true because,
with the approach Of hui
mildly, fly flying becomes
more difficult. They need
something to cling to.
Another tip provided by
the book springs from the
saying: when the ditch Of
tends the nose, look for rain
and stormy blows"
Apparently, good weather
accompanied by its high
pressure. keeps the smells Of
swamps and cellars under
control. As the storm APP
proaches, the pressure eases
off and the odors are re-
leased. II your house begini

THE AUTHOR has gone to
great pains to knock down q
bunch of weather sayings
which have held up longer
than the memories of those
who first coined them.
One is that business about
March coming in like a lion
and going out like a lamb.
"False!" says the author.
Another is, DRY May, wet
June" unfortunately; and
there is nothing to wet
June, dry September
The authors studies reveal
also that you can't make it
rain by killing a beetle or by
stepping on an ant.
And that old adage, when
ladybugs swarm, expect a
warm" is a gross untruth!
He has also found out that
Mark Twain never said,
Everyone talks about the
weather, but n nobody does
anything about It." 1t was re-
peated in a speech by Mr..
Twain who gave credit to 9
man named c. d. Warner
(The author has not tried to
find out what became OF MI
Warner, nor viii the RAM
bler.)
But an interesting thing is
that a number of those old
weather sayings do, indeed,
have substance.
One, it turns out, is: "A COW
with its tail to the west
makes weather the best; a
COW with its tail to the east,
makes weather the least"
