Explosion of Sun Would
DESTROY Life on Earth

A scattered few celestial fire
cracker stars" which exploded In
space many million years ago were
described recently by DR.. Edwin
Hubble Of the Carnegie Institution
Of Washington.
Should the sun ever pass through
this explosive stage, he said, all Life
on earth would be wiped out within
a few minutes land then evolution
would have to start all over again"
DR.. Hubble, astronomer at the Mt.
Wilson observatory in California, do
scribed stars which would make the
brightness of the sun appear like q
penny candle in contrast
These are the novae and SUPER
novae, stars which suddenly flame
into brilliance, apparently because
Of some internal disturbance, and
then dwindle back into celestial
obscurity within a few weeks or
months.
Ordinary novae, or new stars,
which are the penny hrecrackerS Of
the universes outside the milky way,
blow up" with the force Of about
1000 miles per second, he reported,
and attain a brilliance approx
mately 100000 times that Of the sun.
The super-novae fame into bril-
lance greater than 100, 900, 900 suns
and during their brief life can be
seen with the naked eye In broad
daylight.
These super ''firecrackers" are
extremely rare, DR.. Hubble said.
Only 81 have ever been observed.

too big to pay for your own happi-
ness.
A. D. j.: feel sad and down.
hearted all of the time. Have been
married for six years and my hus-
band is so jealous that he makes
my life miserable. He comes home
from work and goes all around the
house looking for tracks he says
he knows someone has been here.
1 can't go out unless he is with me.
What must I do?
Ans: Accept the fact that he is
an extremely jealous man and try
to live accordingly. After all, he
has his good points, too. You have
one consolation he can't be out
chasing around other girls when
he is spending so much time watch
ing you. Be thankful that he is the
type man that enjoys taking you
out and going along with you wher-
ever you go.
N. B. W.: I am 10 and very much
in love with a boy 10. My parents
are so strict on me that it is mighty
embarrassing. They will not allow
me to have dates in the evening. I
must see him during the day and
1 am not allowed to shows or
dances. Should we go ahead and
marry secretly while we are in
school?
Ans: Under no circumstances
should you give your consent to
marry secretly while you are still in
school. The bigger portion of secret
marriages end up in the divorce
courts. You are a senior in high
school and / am inclined to believe
when you graduate your par
ents are going to loosen up a bit
and give you more privileges. If
this boy loves you deeply and sin
cerely, he will continue to wait
patiently until your people give him
permission to visit you in the eve
ings, etc. Really this is a grand
way to test his love.

Mrs. Roosevelt Has
 Closed Long Career
Continued from Page 1)

cient manager of the Roosevelt family estates, Q role that contin- used here until her son had finished his education at Harvard, entered into law practice, and began his political career. Franklin was born to her 13 months after her mar riage-on Jan. 30, 1882.
 Enters Public Life
 She never had a public life until her son became president, but she entered upon one with the grave unruffled dignity appropriate to her aristocratic breeding. Enjoying exceptional health, almost to her last day, she was person of tre- mendous energy. Though not a feminist, she was interested In ma ternity welfare, in hospitals, and in the balls given annually on her sons birthday to raise funds to fight infantile paralysis. Tn these latter years she often came in con- tact with admirers of her son who invariably asked her If she wasn't proud to have a son who had be- !. come president of the United States.
 I've always been proud of him" ," she would reply and her emphasis was on the always. She meant to say that no matter what her son, Franklin, had done with his tal- ents, she still would have been proud of him.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-09-08

the nome 10 Wnlcn she came III October, 1880, at the age of 26, as the bride of James Roosevelt who was 26 years older than she. There her only chile, Tranklin, was born. It was the scene of his child hood. From there she watched his first essays into politics, of which she didn't altogether approve and there she watched over him while he fought back from the affliction Of infantile paralysis. And there, in her last years, she reigned as a gracious hostess over a semi official White House, entertaining such dis tinguished guests of her son as the King and Queen of Great Britain the Grown Prencess of the Neth- erlands, the Crown Prince and Prin- cess of Norway, the Grand Duchess of Luxemborugh, the Duke of Kent and lesser international celebrities to say nothing of various govern mental and political associates of her son.
 Chief Interests In Family
 But her chief interests remained in her farnily-her son, his wife, their children and grandchildren. Three of her grandchildren, James, Elliott, and John, arrived yesterday afternoon soon after they had been advised of her death. The other two Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., and Mrs. Anna Roosevelt Boettiger, were not expected to be able to attend her funeral. Franklin. Jr, is an ensign in the Naval Reserve and is on duty somewhere at sea" and Mrs. Boettiger is in seattle, Wash, where her hsuband is newspaper publisher.
 The flag at Hyde Park House, the Manor House of the Roosevelt estate, remained at full staff to signify that the president of the United States was in residence, but that of the library, which is on the estate, was half-stafIed and the library will be closed Tuesday, the day of the funeral. It Is customarily closed on Monday.
 Mrs. Roosevelt returned from a vacation In the family summer home at Campohello, New Bruns- wick, last Friday. She complained of being tired but that was thought only natural in view of the journey and her age. The president left Washington Friday night, tell ing reporters that he was coming here mainly to see his mother whom he adored, because he hadn't seen her all summer. Late Satur- day evening her condition, became alarming and about midnight she lost consciousness and remained unconscious until she died at l2:15 p. m. Sunday.
 7th of II Children
 Sara Delano was born Sept. 21, 1854, the seventh of Il children of Warren and Catherine Delano on the Delano family estate, AL gona, near Newbrugh, N. Y. Like the Delanos had belonged to the landed gentry of the Hudson River valley for generations.
 At the age of eight her father went to China to recoup his for tunes which had suffered reverses in the panic of 1857, and she and her mother rounded Cape Horn in a clipper ship in a voyage to Hong Kong that took four months There she formed her love for the sea which was inherited by her son. She returned through Europe and recalled always that in Paris, she met the Empress Eugenie.
 She spent % sheltered years as the wife of James Roosevelt but upon his death when her son was in his teens, she became the efi-

man had always been the mild
est Of humans. He seldom drank,
they sWore, and he had never
been known to seek trouble In
any form. Absolutely never.
Tony, OF course, told his side
OF the story. The complete and
true story. But II did little good.
And when 1t was all over, Tony
was handed a twenty.year rap
for manslaughter.
Thus, like his brothers, Tony
Tonassi went 10 jail. Papa and
momma were disconsolate,
broken. The neighbors rubbed
il in. They wanted to know how
their fine boy was doing-in jail.
Tony took 1t like a man. He
worked as hard inside the Jail
as he had ever worked on the
outside. When he heard that
the prisoner who cooked for the
warden was leaving jail, he ap-
piled for the job.
The warden was a tough man,
but he gave the boy a trial.
After a week, he wouldn't have
parted with the kids services
for anything.
And the warden's wife liked
Tony immensely, too. He

Momma and papa were de-
lighted. They never tired of
telling the neighbors just how
wonderful a son their Tony had
turned out 10 be.
Maybe he will never turn out
bad those neighbors told one
another, but that is because
Tony is lucky. He will never
need money, because he is a
good cook. He can get a job
anywhere, and that is what will
keep him out of trouble.

actly where his brothers are to-
