explanation of just why they do

graphic Society bulletin made public
today. ~
The moon has the effect of max
ing objects upon which it shines
much lighter, the bulletin says.
The great steamship Leviathan,
for instance, weighs ten or twelve
pounds less when the moon is di-
rectly over it than when Luna Is
nearer the horizon.
This lifting power Of the moon,
which decreases the downward pull
of gravity and thus lightsns the
object in it's relation to the earth,
must be the explanation Nof the
queer antics of human beings when
exposed to its rays.
When young men and young
women stroll in the moonlight and
agree to continue their lives in the
holy bonds Of matrimony, they can
blame it on the moon lifting up
their hearts, or making them lighter
in the head or some such thing.
The effect Of the moons rays
upon small objects is not great.

SMITH STANDS
ON HIS RECORD
AS GOVERNOR
A Political ReaIist, 'Ap
Works at His lob; Lets
Friends Boost.
By RAY TUCKER,

NEW YORK, Dec. s.-If the
Democrats nominate AL Smith for
the presidency, they will have to
take him on falkland the promise
held out in his record as Governor
of New York State.
Governor Smith will make his
fight along the lines of the old
hymn, Just as I am, without one
plea"
He will not seize any of the hun
dred opportunities offered him by
admirers to expound his views on
prohibition, State rights, interna-
tional problems or any of the great
questions around which the next
national election will revolve.
Declines Invitations
He repeatedly has declined invi-
tationS to speak or to visit sections
OF the country where there is a def
mite desire to see and hear him in
action. 1t is probable he will de-
cline the invitation to attend the
So-called Democratic harmony din
ner to be held in Washington early
in January.
Smith feels that he has made his
record as Governor of New York.
and that it is claim which cannot
be altered by anything he says or
does between now and nominating
time. His accomplishments as an
executive and administrator, he be-
lieves must be judged by the party.
II deemed worthy of emitting
him to chance at the presidency,
well and good. If not, that will be
his hard luck. Smith is a political
realist of the old school.
1t is predicted, however, that his
January message to the New work
Legislature will serve as his per-
sonal Battle-cry and platform. His
friends expect him to set forth
therein the political creed and
philosophy which have animated
him during his twenty-four years
in public life.
Much Free Publicity
The Smith people say they have
not spent more than a few 2-cent
stamps to stimulate, the movements
for him, which have sprung up in
the far West and the South. Whole
files of letters, newspaper clippings
and magazine articles received at
Smith headquarters from every
State in the union seem to mean
an extraordinary popular interest
in the man, his personality and his
record.
Smiths maintenance of his DO
Sition as pace-maker is regarded by
politicians as an extraordinary
achievement. For months he has
been walking the political tight
rope, full in the spotlight, without
suffering the loss which usually
comes to any man enjoying such
lonely eminence. His hackers
attribute 1t to his insistence on
tending to his job as Governor of
New York.

Shelby remarked, "an6 almost
wish they wouldn't send him up.
There were other things in the
room more valuable than what he
took and he didn't touch them. 1

on of the kid in the detectives

wanted the suit for evidence"

moved up briskly under a combina

The mood Of Wall Street changes
quickly. Little was heard today abou
unsatisfactory business conditions
which had been held at fault whel
stocks were going down. Instead at

Southern Railway again was the
conspicuously strong railroad stock.
Above 1877 it was at the highest in the
history Of the company, responding to
the suggestion that the stock will be
put on an 50 dividend basis at the De.
cember meeting. Southern Railway is
one of the few roads, which has been
able to turn loss in gross into a
