3 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SEPTEMBER 27, NEAR EAST RELIEF OBSERVANCEDEC. 6 “Golden Rule Sunday” Plan- ned, With Participants Aid- ing Sufferers Abroad. Golden Rule Sunday will be ob- served in more than 60 civilized coun- tries of the world December 6, accord- ing: to present plans. This movement in behalf of the sufferers in the Near East was begun two years ago by Charles V. Vickrey | of New York, general chairman of the | Near East Relief. Plans for the ob-| servance of the Golden Rule Sund this vear were approved recently at a meeting of representatives of more than 60 countries, including in thelr numbers followers of practically every major religious faith, which was held at Stockholm, Sweden. Coolidge Backs Plan. President Coolidge has indorsed the observance again this year, and plans are being prepared over the country for the occasion. The observance means that the participants will have for one of thelr meals the simple menu ©of an Anerican orphanage in the Near East and will contribute as generously as possible to welfare work in the strife-torn section. “There will be no permanent world peace until the Near East question is solved,” says Mr. Vickrey. “In the Near oday there is a new force rightly directed, will prove r than all the armies of the Pas children, approximately 100,000 of them, fatherless, motherless. hemeless, pennlless, but none the 1 leaders of a new X Has Worked Ten Years. For almost 10 years Mr. Vickrey has devoled himself to work in the Near Fast. His chief interest has been the care of child sufferers. Last year Golden Rule Sunday was observed in 52 countries, and received the indorsement of President Coolidge and leaders of other nations. The President and members of the Diplo- matic Corps were among the thou- sand diners who attended the Golden Rule banquet in Washington, where the movement for the observance of the day In the United States last year was organized. ' Two Full Moons Due in October, One for Harvest, Other for Hunters According to the calendar, the in- coming month of October will present us with the double phenomena of two full moons, the first will be the *“Har- vest Moon™ and the second the “Hunt- ers’ Moon,” each of which has long been celebrated in story and song. The full moon that occurs mearest to September 22 has long been known as the “Harvest Moon" and comes this season on October 2, thus intrud- ing on the calendar doraain of the Hunters' Moon,” which has long been known as the first full moon in Oc- tober. This year, however, the sea- son of Autumn night sports does not commence until the full moon of Oc- tober 31. The “Harvest Moon™ is not general- Iy understood by the public, but the use has long been known to stronomers who have studied the nics of the heavens. As the of the sun's apparent path through the sky is variously inclined to the horizon at different seasons of the year with the celestial equator at the same angle with the horizon, thus equal portions of the moon come above the herizon in equal periods of time, thus rising for several nights at nearly the same hour immediately after sunset which produces a series of brilliant moonlight nights, and the moon being above the horizon until late In the morning. There is a tra- dition that the so-ralled *“Harvest Moon” was a divine interposition to prolong the day, and thus aid the harvest man and shepherds in their daily toil, but sgjence shows that the phenomenon is only the result of na- tural law. Usually the October full moons fol- low the September “Harvest Moons,” when the harvest is practically finish- ed and the moonlight evenings can be devoted principally to the chase of the fox, but both full moons coming this year on the 2nd and 31st of October tends to confuse the incidents which usually attend the full Autumnal phases of our satellite. The ‘‘Hunters’ Moon" in October has come down to us from “hunting” which i{s a very anclent amusement, as a pastime or for the necessities of subsiatence which has been from the earliest times one of the characteris- tic oceupations of the human race. 1t 15 said that Alexander the Great pald a large sum for a treatise on this subject by Aristotle and the chase was described by Applanus and some other classic writers. FAIRY TALES UNPOPULAR, LONDON LIBRARIANS SAY Modern Children Prefer “Action” and Beality in Their Read- ing, They Find. PBy the Associated Press. DON, September London s find that fairy-tales have lost their “punch” for modern chil- dren. The librarians have concluded that Hans Christian Andersen, the ¢ | Grimm brothers and other writers of their.kind are being given the cold shoulder by the youngsters of today, who demand stories concerning ad- venture and action, on sea or on land. Children of this age are so sophisticat- ed. the librarians believe, and so well advanced in learning and in taste for literature that even Peter Pan, {n his famous appeal to children to clap their hands if they believe in fairies and 50 save the life of Tinker Bell, is very likely to suffer in the future. Peter Pan, of course, will always be more or less popular, the library keep- ers assert, also pointing out that so will Santa Claus; but it is not sa much the children these days who keep these mythical characters alive as their parents and other grown-ups who have recollections of happy child- hoods in the days when fairy tales were in their prime. When Santa Claus and Peter Pan are applauded today, the librarians declare, the chil- dren do the applauding to please their Earth Given Great Age. Prof. Henry Russell of Princeton University conjectures that the earth is 8,000,000,000 years old, basing his theory on a computation of the time itrtook the Colorado River to carve out the Grand Canyon. Also he cites as & uge the time it takes uranium to ecompose. It takes a speck of ura- njum 60,000 years to decompose, and by studying the lead beds of the world, which are all that is left when ura- nium has disappeared, he arrives at his conclusion on the earth's age. Synthetio Alcohol as Fuel. ‘Wood alcohol, made synthetically from water ges by a German formula, may take the place of gasoline as mo- tor fuel, according to John' Collins, who has written about the new prod- uct in & magazine. This synthetic wood alcohol {s not poisonous, and it will be relatively cheap. r LAWMAKER GUESTS FACE BUSY WEEK Elaborate Entertainment Will Be Offered Interparliamen- tary Delegates Here.

The headstone of the grave bore Illinois, is general chairman of the conference, and it is expected that 50 or 60 members of Congress will take part in the sessions in Washington. Dr. Carlos F.

Although the con- tents of the grave were somewhat dis- appointing to the commission, Dr. erndon sald that his faith in the old legend had not been shaken. No declsion had been made last night as to whom the relics would be submitted, the commission said, as Lr. Herndon has not made a formal re- port of the findings. Dr. G. L. Kell- ton, Van Buren physiciun, expressed the opinion that the man in the grave wasg about 60 years of age at his death. ‘The legend in connection with the grave, which antedates the memory of the oldest citizen, is well known over the State, and considerable in- terest has been manifested in the in- vestigation.
