Our discussion Septemaer 11 of last century'i hypothetical
planet Vulcan brought an incidental mention of the newly
discovered object, 1949MA, which has been found to swing in
side the orbit of Mercury and approach nearer to the sun than
any other known planetary body.
Early notices regarding thi
little asteroid showed consider

Silverton Hobby Display
Is Devoid of Sweepstakes
Silverton, Oct. 31 "Sweepstakes? NO!" was the reverbera
tion from the Judges report of the Friday and Saturday Parent
Teacher association hobby show at the Eugene Field auditorium.
The different individual judges felt that practically every one of
the more than 200 entries were of "sweepstake" value in educa
tional interest, and the co-or--
dlnation of exchange ideas of
personal pleasures in collecting
what appeals to whom.
No money awards were con
sidered. Merely a small card
board hobby horse, decorated In
ribbon harness, colors white,
red and blue, designated the
preference of the Judges for'dis
plays. Since there were fairly
"herds" of these horses loose on
the various exhibits, no exhibi
tor need to have felt that he
went unappreciated.
When the eight judges ap
peared on the scene at 5 o'clock
Friday evening, realizing that
they only had two hours to do a
two-day Job, they divided Into
four groups of two, did likewise
with sections of the Eugene
Field auditorium, and began to
tie a horse to the good, better
ad best displays. The Judges
were Mr. and Mrs. Tom Ander
son, Dr. I. L. Hcnkel, Mrs. Ethel
Brown, Mrs. Glenn Briedwell,
Mrs. Reber Allen, Mrs. Ernest
R. Ekman and Clifford Alm

was Mrs. Rolf Bentson. She had
assistants but It was under her
direction that the show was a
rVl pleasure to all guests.
Well over 2000 attended dur

afternoon.
In connection with the hobby
show was the annual carnival

could be misleading.

seemed to adjust themselves

The designation 1 B 4 0 M A
means that the project was the
first asteroid discovered during
the second half of June 1949. On
June 26. Dr. Walter Baade was
photographing a section of the
sky near the brilliant southern
star Antares with the 48-lnch
Schmidt camera on Palomar
Mountain. The exposure was con
tinued for one hour. The develop
ed plate showed a considerable
trail of light (2.7 minutes of arc
in extent) among the round
images of the so-called fixed
stars. This indicated that some
thing relatively close to the
earth, which had a motion in re
lation to the stars, had been
caught.
Dr. Baade did not know which
way the object was moving it
could have been either way along
the line but calculating how
far it would move in two days
he photographed the more likely
of the two positions on June 28
and again caught a trail. Two
days later another picture was
taken; and again July 12 and 13
The elaborate calculations
made from these photographic
observations determined the path
around the sun of this new
planetoid. This orbit has been
likened to a line drawn on a
football around the long way.
The sun is inside this oval figure
but relatively near one end,
At this end position the little
planet was only about 20,000,-
000 miles from the sun on April
22, 1949 After its swing around
the sun, it started off into more
remote regions of space, and on
June 21 passed relatively near
the earth mised us by a mere
8,000,000 miles. It Is now nearly
as far from the sun as It ever
gets and In the region well be
yond the orbit of Mars, the
planet next in order past the
earth from the sun.
It seems that this little world
must be about 0.9 mile in dia
meter. Sky and Telescope for

MA is not rotating it may reach
a temperature of 1000 degrees
F. when nearest the sun, and
glow a bit because of its own in
tense heat. It is visible otherwise
nly in telescopes, of course
due to sunlight reflecting from
it. Another close solar approach
is scheduled for it next May.
Most of the asteroids revolve
in the space between the orbits
of Mars and Jupiter. The first
ever to be discovered was spotted
Jan. 1, 1801, the first day of the
19th century. Up to January 1,
1949, the official number had
reached 1S64. Five, all found
since 1930. come inside the
earth's orbit. Four of these
(Apollo, Adonis, Hermes and
1949MA) at times gets nearer
the sun than Venus, but only the
last named loop inside the path
of Mercury.
Dr. Baade holds the unique
honor of having discovered the
two asteroids, both the nearest
and most distant from the sun.

'HUMAN HYENA' IS GOING TOO FAR
What Can a Man Be Called
In Court? Rulings Given
Raleigh, N. C. (U. The Supreme Court of North Carolina
holds that even prosecuting attorneys have to watch their lan

The prosecution went too far

pointed out.
"A severe reprimand by the

when a private prosecutor In the
case of the state v. Correll char

for murder as "a small-time ra

the judge corrected the error by
sustaining defense objection to
the language.

Will Miracle Hormone Save Life
Of Rheumatic Fever Victim?
Chicago, Oct. 31 0J.B Tiny Patricia Owens, flown here in a
National Guard plane from Albama, gasped for life In an oxy

Acth, the new "miracle'' hormone, might save her life.
Patty, 12, is dying from the effects of rheumatic fever which
struck her four years ago at her-

British have assured kiddies that Uncle Holly, here played by
actor Jimmy Charters, will not replace Santa Claus. He'll
serve as a sort of negotiator to handle difficult requests.
Until her physician heard of
the new hormone while attend
ing a lecture here, there seemed
little hope for saving her.
Doctors said it would take two
or three days to determine
whether she could be treated
with Acth, a hormone derived
from the pituitary glands of
hogs.
Patty was flown here Satur

Guard plane dispatched under
express orders from Alabama's
Gov. James Folsom.
A fire department ambulance
