United States. As I mention this statement my mind goes back to the World War days when another Roosevelt-a real great American was shot down in an air battle-the name of that man was Lieutenant Kermit Roosevelt, son of Teddy Roosevelt. But what about the pres- ent Roosevelt family? Well here are @ few facts which the public has not as yet learned about"
 Captain Roosevelt
 Some time ago, son Jimmie" Roosevelt was commissioned a LIEUTENANT COLONEL in the United States Marine Corps. Jimmie had no qualifications for that com mission and because of the great hue and cry which was raised, Jim- mic decided to denote himself to captain. What about son Franklin, Jr.? Well Franklin is an ensign in the Naval Reserve. God bless him, daughter and applause). How about Crown Prince Elliott? Why he was just appointed a captain in the

ize the task of relieving suffering. Government relief, he added, can- not be made slff1ciently flexible to cover 'the wide range Of ever.vary- ing human needs, because human needs are affected by Q thousand matters which do not it into pig eon-holes."
 Tracing charity from the days of the first little town meeting in the Massachusetts Bay colony" MT. Roosevelt said that at one stage, small groups of businessmen who gathered on street corners could "devise some method so that Joe Smith and Tom Jones would be able to buy shoes for their clail- dren."
 "When, however, American irl- dustry went on Q mass production basis, it became increasingly difi- cult for men to find employment on the assembly line" he contin- ued, it created 8 problem in the unemployment of elderly men and middle-aged men and young people. a problem too great to be solved by good will of individual business men on street corner"
 Although the industrial era created problems that could be handled jointly by government agencies and private charitable or ganizations, MT. Roosevelt said, there has always been the need for "the kindly touch of human sym pathy."
 'Tt is necessary for us to re- member the very intimate and human side of these problems" he said. <. as long as there is ill- ness in the world, as long as there is poverty, as long as families are stricken with personal misfortune, it will be necessary for the good- hearted men and women of Amer ica to mobilize for human needs"

 Boston, Mass, Oct. 13 = Speaking before an open rally of the National Anti-Third Term League here Fri- day evening, Edward J. Ryan ot Thomaston, Conn, struck out vigor- ously ct the third term ambitions of President Roosevelt and labeled the Democratic party in no uncertain terms "America's War Party" which brought forth great outbursts Of Wild cheering and applause.
 Gang of Politicians Said MT. Ryan in part:
 eNo longer does the great Demo- cratic party belong to the people: Indeed not. It belongs to a gang Of ruthless, conniving politicians who will go to any lengths to set up a dictatorship in this country in order to seal themselves in power. l say shame on the New Deal leaders who have sneaked away control Of the party from the people - from the regular Democrats.

Washington, oct. 14-(UP)-Local community chest campaigns began today with an appeal by President Roosevelt for liberal contributions to maintain national morale "in 9 world poisoned by hatred and ravaged by war"
 MT. roosevelt, inaugurating the le4O mobilization for human needs campaign in a radio address last night, said that citizens in this critical moment of our history" must be increasingly conscious of the community spirit" expressed by the annual mobilization drive.
 Tt is a spirit that comes from our community of interests, our community of faith in the Demo- cratic ideal, our community of devotion to God" he said.
 ".. Events abroad have warned us not only of the need of planes and tanks, and ships and guns; they have also warned us of the need of grit and sacrifice, of daring and devotion, and of all of those intangible things which go to make up a nations morale. ...
 Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fibre of a free people, 3 nation does not have to be cruel in order to be tough. The vigorous express sion of our American community spirit is truly important.
 ''That ancient injunction to love thy neighhpr as myself is still the force that anirnates our faith - a faith that we are determined shall live and conquer in a world poi soned by hatred and ravaged by war"
 MT. Roosevelt said that the mobilization for human needs "is, as it always has been, > good cause, participated in by good Americans who represent all sections of our country, all walks of life, all shades of political opinion, all races and creeds."
 Private charity, he said, lis es- sential to personalize and human

There is an old poem entitled "An Among the Barley" one verse or which reads:
 "Come out, 'tis now September,
 The hunters moons begun,
 Aid through the wheaton stubble,
 Is heard the frequent gun"
 The author erred in the month. October is the month of the Hun- .ter's Moon-it is the Harvest Moon that occurs in September, during the harvesting period when the wheat, corn and other grain are being reaped, leaving their stumps or stubble in the ground. Both moons, Harvest and Hunters, are similar phenomena, however, and so we need not be too critical of the poets mistake. Their distinction over other full moons in the year lies in the fact that they rise nearly at sunset for several nights in suc- cession. They thus prolong the na- tural twilight, the Harvest Moon permitting tardy farmers to com- plete belated harvesting before the coming of fost and winter, and the Hunters Moon granting hunters more light with which to indulge in the days sport.
 Longest Moonlight in Fall
 It is the location of the earth in its revolution around the sun that causes the September mad October full moons to differ from those of the rest of the year. The moon ord- inarily does not rise at nearly the same time every night because of it's changing position in the sky due to its revolution around the earth. The direction of this moon is from west to east, so each night the moon rises later. The ''retardation," as 1t is called, varies considerably, but averages about 50 minutes. In our latitudeS the maximum retardation may be well ocer one hour, and the minimum about 20 minutes. These extremes occur once each during each lunar month. If the minimum retardation cccure at the time of fuli moon, there will be strong moonlight almost all night on sev- eral successive nights; for, the re- tardation being small, the moon ris- es but little later (22 minutes on the average in latitude 40 degrees) each night. However, this occurs only when the earth is at the autumnal equinox position in it's orbit around the sun. Since in northern attitudes the full moon that occurs nearest the time of the autumnal equinox falls during the time of harvest, Ii is called the Harvest Moon. The next fulfil moon, since 1t occurs dur ing the hunting season, is called the Hunters Moon.

member the sand-bagged national Democratic convention-recan if you will the disgraceful manner Ill which the steam rollered convention hissed and booed one of the greatest Americans alive today = United States Senator Carter Glass, when that life long Democrat attempted to nominate Jim Farley for the presidency. Remember too that Sen- ator Glass arose from 8 sick bed to nominate Farley. And where Is MT. Farley today? Why the hand which held the knife struck 1t into the back of MT. Farley.
 And now the man who has given every indication during the past four years that he wants to be The dictator" wants a third term. Let us check briefly his record during his two preceding terms
 "The fact that Roosevelt wanted a third term did not come as sur prise. He gave all the signs long ago. He kicked precedentS around, he cast aside all traditions. He pushed the limitations of his ofi1ce aside. He resented constitutional restrictions on his authority. He sought the power to reduce the supreme court from its place as an independent branch of the govern ment. He used congress as 8 rubber stamp. He wanted all the depart ments of government consolidated under his personal control"
 Purge Attempted
 Then continued MT. Ryan, with biting sarcasm When men dis agreed with him he tried to defeat them at the polls. He made his will supreme. He said he was the issue. Men who did not submit to him were enemies of the republic, he said. He would be their master. He fed "hot dogs to royalty, hot air to the people and he congratulated the Red" dictators of Goddess, bloody, murdering Russia on their achieve mentS"
 "Now this man who tried to kick our court around who tried to kick congress around, who tried to purge every member of congress, who did not agree with him, this man who wanted to be King, the man who wanted to be supreme wants a third term. Are you ready to give him third term?
 'This man who wants a third then a fourth term, has created a war scare behind which he hides.

peoples throughout the world prac- tice what is known as moon-farm- ing. They plant seeds, shear sheep, prune trees, butcher animals, lay shingles, and do ather farm work according to the phases of the moon. For instance, some believe that hogs killed in the dark of the moon yield pork that will shrink when cooked; ; that animals born during New Moon thrive better; that fleeces sheared in the wane of the moon weigh more; that the seeds of corn and other crops that grow above ground rot when planted in the light of the moon; that crops growing under ground, like potatoes and beets, grow near the surface and prdouce a light yield when planted in the dark of the moon; and that shingles curl up and pull the nails out if laid during New Moon.
 Moons Influence Negligible
 Belief in the moons influence over earthly activities dates back thou sands of years and probably is a survival of ancient moon worship. Modern scientists. however, hold that the multitude of such beliefs. particularly as to the controlling influence of the moons phases and changes upon the. weather and var ious conditions of life, are unfolded, or at least unverified. It is quite cer- tain that if the moon has any in- fluence at all of the sort imagined, it is extremely slight.-so slight that it has not yet been demonstrated, though numerous investigations have been made expressly for the purpose of detecting it. Two definite influences the moon does have on the earth are: CD it's gravitational attraction reinforces that of the sun ill producing tides and slight chang es in the pressure of o,r atmos- phere; @ its approach and reces- sion at its nearest and furtherest distances from the earth create the terrestrial magnetism disturbances.

 The church, he contended, should help young people progress by push ing through in spite of conditions rather than because of them. BuSi- ness heads can solve the problem, he stated, by putting themselves in the places of young people and at- tempting to find a way out
