Two More Asteroids of
Trojan Group Discovered
By J. HUGH PItlTETT
(Astronomer, Extension Division, Oregon Higher Education System)
From Harvard Announcement Card No. 1042 we learn that quite
recently two more ot the little planets (asteroids) belonging to
the so-called Trojan group have been discovered by Dr. K. Rein-
muth at the observatory in Heidelberg, Germany.
sun at about the same distance
as Jupiter, and are named for
the heroes whose valor in the
siege of Troy in Asia Minor was
extolled in the writings of Ho
mer, the ancient Grecian poet.
Almost 200 years ago, the
great French mathematician La
grange calculated that if three
bodies were given a certain ar
rangement in the heavens, their
positions in relation to each oth
er would be fairly stable. One
must be quite massive; another,
not over 126 that of the larger
body; the third, so small that it
could be considered Infinitesi
mal in comparison wtih the oth
ers. A further condition was that
the three bodies be so placed
the would be close to the cor
ners of an imaginary three-sided
figure (triangle) all sides of
which were equal (equilateral).
Lagrange said that such an
ideal condition would exist
should there be very small
body, A, traveling along the or
bit' of Jupiter and about as far
ahead of or behind this huge
planet as the planet is from the
sun. This would make equal the
following distances: sun to Jup
iter, sun to A, and Jupiter to A;
an immense celestial triangle
nearly half a billion miles on
each of its equal sides.
Lagrange announced this re
sult in 1772, but since none of
the nearly 1600 asteriods now
known was discovered until
1801, he had nothing concrete
to which to tie his theorem. As
one after another of these lit
tle bodies was located, not one
fitted the Lagrangian conditions.
But finally in 1906, 83 years af
ter the noted Frenchman s
death, Max Wolf at Heidelberg
discovered Just such a planet. It
was named Achilles.
Up to 1949, 12 Trojan aster
oids, bunched in two groups,
had been found. Seven of these
travel ahead of Jupiter and five
'Difficulties' Delay Marriage Film star Ingrid Bergman
and Italian film director Roberto Rossellini, shown relaxing
on the Island of Stromboli, told Rome correspondent of the
New York Times that "some difficulties" had prevented her
getting a divorce from Dr. Peter Lindstrom. Miss Berg
man said she planned to marry Rossellini as soon as she is
free. She also plans to give up her acting career. This pic
ture, made in September, was just released in Rome where
Miss Bergeman's latest picture, directed by Rossellini, is
being processed. ((P) Wirephoto.)

Year-Round Santa Claus Keeps
4,000 Little Girls Most Happy
By STEWART McNEIlX
(United Press stall Correspondent) f
Vancouver. B. C. Dec. 17 (u.R) Making 4,000 little girls happy
has made Charlie Coe a year-round Sant'a Claus.
That's a lot of happiness for anyone to spread around in a
year. But Charlie has spread joy with a pair of dextrous hands,
a few tools and a lot of imagination and ingenuity.
Coe, 30-year-old army veter-f
an, is Santa's big helper in his
little workshop at the rear of a
downtown store. This year, he
has repaired 4,000 dolls . . . and
the Christmas rush has kept him
working feverishly so that no
child will be unhappy Christmas
day.
An expert electrician, coe
took over the business his father
had built up and he says he
hasn't regretted it one bit since.
Coe says his doll hospital is the
busiest in all Canada, and points
to the 500 dolls he has repaired
in the last month.
In his workshop, Coe brings
back to life dolls for little girls
living as far away as Winnipeg,
Dawson and Whitehorse in the
Yukon, and south of the border
in Seattle.
The doll hospital workshop
looks like a Buckenwald torture
chamber. Piled around Coe's
workbench are boxes of doll's
eyes, legs, arms, heads, wigs and
battered bodies.' From this maze
of parts, Coe rejuvenates a shat
tered doll to delight some
youngster.
"Believe it or not," he says,
t's not the arms and legs that
get most damaged but the eyes."
Kids seem to delight in pok
ing out the eyes or damag
ing them in some way," he add
ed.
Obtaining parts is one' of Coe's
biggest headaches. There are
dozens of different varieties of
dolls whose parts are not interchangeable.
He gets wigs from England;
the arms and legs from a Mont
real firm; the eyes and bodies,
he salvages.
One of Coe's most difficult re
pair jobs in recent months was
a 35-year-old German doll
which "had been handed down
a dozen times in one family."
He likes to recall the time
when a terrified little girl saw
him touching up a doll with red
paint.
"She ran to the nearest po
liceman screaming 'there's a
man killing a baby in the win
dow and there's blood all over."
"Santa" Charlie is still single
at the age of 30.
"I should get married and
raise kids when I've been poppa
and Santa to four thousand little
girls this year?"
