Times must be getting better And prospects seem quite sunny, Just take look at women's clothes, Are they not too funny? With more money in circulation Ladies can afford to appear In the very latest fashions So chic, yet so queer. No longer will they give two seasons To dressy winter coat, Fashions truly mirror the times That fact you will note. When times are very, very bad You can't afford freaky hats Or very extreme evening gowns For your occasional bats. But times surely must be better When extreme styles appear, (My dear, look at those funny hats Aren't they just too queerD

Aboard Roosevelt Campaign Train, in Kansas, Oct. 13.-(UP)-Presi- dent Roosevelt campaigned in Kan sas today. Turning the home state of Gov. Ali. M. Landon into a na- tional political battle-ground, he dropped all defensive tactics and struck out aggressively for Kansas nine electoral votes in November. He entered Kansas from Colorado last night and before midnight had made three platform speeches, two of them unscheduled. Today he will transverse the Sunhower state from west to east, making an irn- portant speech in Wichita this morning, another in Kansas City, Kansas, tonight, and number of platform appearances and speeches in between.
 without Gloves
 Observers aboard the presidents train expected him to remove his gloves in assailing his chief cam paign rival, Gov. Landon, at Wichita this morning, though it was believed likely that the president, as in a speech in Denver yesterday, would not mention his opponent by name. He was expected to extend his re- marks concerning the republican charges of New Deal waste and ex- travagance, centering his subject mainly on agriculture. The exten- sive campaigning in Kansas indi- cated to observers on the campaign train that MT. Roosevelt's hopes were high to carry Kansas. It also was asserted that he was conced- ing nothing to the opposition-not even the home state of the republi- can nominee.
 Called to Platform
 MT. Roosevelt's train had barely crossed into Kansas last night when at Syracuse-he was speaking to crowd from the rear platform. He was called away from the din- ner table by the several hundred persons gathered at the station, and his talk was brief. We want the growers to make the profits out of crops" he said, mot the specula- tors" He said his administrations farm program was intended to maintain a stabilized price level. With the help of the federal gov- ernment we are trying to work out a program that will maintain prices, he said. T am glad to be in Kan sas-" at this point the train be- gan moving, and MT. Roosevelt lift ed his voice to make himself heard over the widening gulf between him. self and his audience: T wish I could stay longer for I have lots of things to say"
 Spoke at Many Places.
 Shortly afterwards he spoke brief ly to approximately 1000 persons at Garden City. Then, at Dodge City, to a crowd estimated to have amounted to approximately 10000 persons, MT. Roosevelt said that while his administration had in- creased the national debt, it had increased the national income by 2 billion dollars. He spoke of the effects of the drouth. we have come into a growing prosperity" he continued. T observed today that while I was in the west four years ago there was a lot of tourist travel on top of box cars. Today there is lots of tourist travel but in Pull man cars instead. In other words, the purchasing power is being re- stored" He concluded. thus: q want you to excuse me at this time. I am @ candidate for re- election, but have to remember the fact too that I am president,

Washington, Oct. 13-1t might be going too far to suggest that the two major candidates for the high est honor the people can bestow don't know what they're talking about, but anyone who wants to spend an afternoon championing that thesis will find plenty of am- munition.
 A candidate is only as accurate as his advisers and speech writers will let him be and that's good alibi when he goes wrong on his fact.
 But it's bit startling when you find both Roosevelt and Landon having trouble with the elementary arithmetic processes of addition and subtraction, let alone multipli- cation and division.
 Just why Roosevelt should
 say that the national income sank from 81 billion dollars to 38 billions four years ago and that this was a difference of
 Al billions probably will always remain mystery. Last April he was bOasting
 that the national income had
 risen from 35 billions in 1882 to
 65 billions in 1886, but in his re- cent Pittsburgh speech he said
 it had risen from 38 billions to B billions last year and 60 bil-
 lions in the current year.
 Probably nobody should quibb1e about a misplaced billion or two, but fiscal sharks are insisting that F. D. R. was misled or misleading, or both, for Department of Commerce figures for national income paid out show. 78 billions in 1929, 48 billions in 1892, and 53 billions in 1885.
 The figures for national in- come produced" are 81, 39, and 53 billions, respectively, but Roosevelt for his purposes defined national in- come as in the former category.
  LandOn Makes Big Promise
 Now take a look at Candidate Landon.
 The Kansas governor talked at and from Des Moines to the farm CTS. One of his promises called for tariff equivalent" payments to farmers on the domeStically con- stunned portion of crops of which there is an exportable surplus.
 That plan, applied only in a limited way, farm experts have fig ured out, would cost the treasury more than two billion dollars year. Applied to wheat and corn it would cost an average of $719,000,000, a year to give the farmers full tariff benefit, which is considerably more than the cost of the most ambitious AAA program to date. The cost on dairy products would be about TIA millions and on beef and veal some AS millions, according to the ex- perts.

 E. R. Chooses Sons Advice 1,
 The president will make a speech in Massachusetts because his son Jimmy urged him to come and told him he had chance to carry the state.
 Other advisers almost unahi- mously recommended that RooSe- welt stay out of the Bay State. as- surfing him he had no chance of beating Landon there. and that he would merely be running the risk of Q cold reception. (Copyrighs 1ss6, NEA Services Inc.l

Conscience Rules Winant

There is much doubt in the ad- ministration camp whether John c. Winant, former republican governor of New Hampshire, will return to the post of chairman of the Social Security Board, which he resigned to feel free to reply to Governor Landon's att tack on the social security act
 Winant, some who know him well say, has such a streng sense or rectitude that he wouldn't con- slider a temporary resignation under the circumstances quite the right thing.

FULTON COURTS
 MAY OPEN SOON
Three New Surfaces May Be Available Saturday If
 Weather Permits

If weather conditions are suitable Memorial day, Waterbury golf and tennis enthusiasts will see the open- ing of the additional nine holes at the Municipal Golf course and three new tennis courts at Fulton Park, 1t was announced this morning by Acting Superintendent of Parks Thomas F. Moore.
 Dave Hayes, professional at the East Mountain course, said today the additional nine holes are in ex- cellent condition. "There are some minor difnculties in connection with the fairways on one or two of the holes," he said, "but on the whole the course will be in perfect shape for those who have waited for g complete eighteen hole course"
 The three new tennis courts at Fulton, planned by the late super intendent, Irving W. Harrison, have been rolled and rerolled. When the measuring is complete and the lines put down, they will be ready for play. There has been no definite !n- formation released in connection with the fee for use of the courts, but 1t is expected the plan set up by the former superintendent will be followed out. He had stated in order to defray the cost of putting down the new courts, it would prob- ably be necessary to charge 20 cents per racquet per hour.

FAMOUS LAWYER
 IN NEW DEFENSE

Boston, May 26-(UP)--Present- ing perhaps the most unusual de- fenso in recent Massachusetts ju- dicila annals, William R. Scharton, widely-known criminal lawyer and counsel for Anthony DiStasio, g, has denied the courts legal right to try his client. Di Stasio is charg- ed with being an accessory to the torch staying of Q Boston freight handler at Hudson. His father Frank, 54, Revere candy maker, faces a mandatory death sentence as result of conviction on a murder charge growing out of the staying.
 Scharton refused to challenge prospective jurors yesterday on grounds superior Judge Thomas H. Dowd is not legally qualified be- cause he was appointed by Governor Curley. Cruley, according to Schar- ton, was not sworn in before the house and senate, and therefore is only Q de facto governor. Scharton also raised question of double jeop- ardy because the younger Di Stasio was acquitted on the murder charge, and the assessory charge on which he is now being tried like wise carries Q mandatory death sentence.

 For Assistance To
 Local Enumerators
Ninety Per Cent of Work Completed With Over Month Left for Final TabuIatiOns Census Bureau Ex.
 Dected to Publish State Results By July

With little over c month left in which to complete checking and tabuIating data on local business houses, Thomas J. Finnegan, super visor of the bureau of census for the fifth congressional district, an. nounced this morning more than 0O% of the work has been completed and that the next four weeks will be spent clearing up details and forwarding reports to the depart- ment of commerce in Philadelphia.
 To date close to 5000 of the $500 Investigations of local business houses have been completed. It is expected that the census bureau will public the results for the state of Connecticut by July 1.
 The local director said he was very well pleased with the cooperation given by local merchants and man. ufacturers in compiling data for the reports. All local managers of bus. mess seemed to have realized" he said, that the work we undertook was rather difficult because of the many details that had to be checked, and took pains to see we were assisted in as many ways as possible, We wish to. thank them for the splendid cooperation given our enumerators."
 17 EnumeratOrs Working
 At the present time there are 17 enumerators working with firms that have not handed in final rec ports. The local manager also rec iterated his statement that all enu- Hnerators and other persons con- nected with the bureau were under oath not to disclose or discuss any information submitted for census purposes. No access to individual reports is permitted and in no way can any information be given which would reveal facts or figures given in the returns.
 The local office, which opened during the first week in January, will close around June 30. At the outset more enumerators were em- ployed than at present the decrease resulting from the decrease in the number of business houses that had to be checked as the work pro- gressed. The local office has charge of all work in the fifth congress sional district.
