On the Side-8 v Dur,n9 IDIttribuM by Kino Futuroi SmAcrt. I.e.) Fl. HtlltlllltlllMIIIIHItKllliil The claims for the effective ness of carlic in various situa' Hons seem without end. I have been told it you teed a dog a lit' tie garlic he will never be both' ered by fleas or ticks. That the scent of the garlic from the dog's hodv will cause tne aforemen tioned pests to avoid him. As fleas and ticks are numerous down here in Florida our dog is scheduled to have a little garlic with his meals. I'll let you know how it works out. Of course. I don't know how the scent of the garlic from our noble springer spaniel will affect me. Maybe I'll have to arrange to have a gas mask handy when he comes close 10 me. X-Ray Eyes Do you own some land on which there might be some oil? Or have you a chance to buy acreage which might enjoy an oil strike? Is so. it is too bad you cannot obtain the aid of Peter Van Jaarsvald, of South Africa. Peter is known as "The Bov with the X-Ray Eyes." He just looks at the land and states where oil can be found. Peter is said to have also aided in the discovery of gold on several oc. casions. Asking Queries from clients. Q. Are vou familiar with a song titled ''A Little of What You Fancy Does xou uood : A. les, sir. It was a song very popular in England in the yesteryear. I be lieve it was popularized by Marie Lloyd. Q. Can your Horses & Women experts tell us what kind of wives feminine physi cians usually make? A. I regret to say we have no information in our files on the matrimonial talents of female physicians. However, I have asked our ex perts to cheek immediately on the matter. Registered nurses make Grade A matrimonial mates, so it would seem the same were true of feminine physi cians. Literary Not Ernest Hemingway, who re cently returned to the United States from France, is said to have written most of his last novel in room eighty-six of the Ritz Hotel. Paris. Ernest wrote in the bathtub. He averaged 500 words a day. My Uncle Al used to read the racing form in the bathtub. He was a brilliant handicapper. South Pacific As you no doubt know, the company of that sensational mu ical hit "South Pacific" was given a week's vacation during Holy Week. Ezio Pinza spent his time off in Florida. Ezio has missed no less than fifty per formances during the run of "South Pacific" because of re curring laryngitis. Many people who had waited months to get tickets to the show were bitterly disar)ointed when they missed Pinza. My girl friend and I were lucky. Pinza was in excellent voice the night we saw "South Pacific. So was Mary Martin. But then Mary alwavs is. She hasn t missed a performance o tar. Firm The first washing machine was patented in England in 1780. The first American patent on a washing machine was registered in 1805. So states an alleged ex pert on "firsts." Well, 1 am not posed to argue about the first patents on washing machines. However, when he savs the first hotel room in the world with bath attached was in 1908 at the Hotel Slatler in Buffalo, N. Y., I am inclined to start checking. Surely there were "rooms with bath" available at hotels before 1908. It is my impression that the first hotel to have rooms with baths attached was the Ho tel Ritz in Paris. But I don't know ihe date. Nearly every design or inven tion in the foundation garment industry to make more women more beautiful has been design ed by men. So I am informed by a foundation garment manufac turer. If a man wants steak or roast beef for dinner and is given fish or chicken, the thwarting of his desire may af fect his health. The sight of food he doesn't especially care for re acts unfavorably on a man's stomach and upsets his digestion. So states an expert on the psy chology of eating. Remember this, lady, when your husband asks for steak give him steak and not finnan haddie. Or you may have a nervous wreck on your hands. Ellis Coleman Found Dead at Local Hotel Ellis J. Coleman, 5 5, was found dead in his room at the San Louis hotel about 11:45 a.m. yesterday, city police reported. Coroner Carlos Morris said he died from natural causes.

Sunday April It, 1950 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NTWE Latest Planetary Formation Theory A Nichols' Worth of Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United P'Mt Fulvn Writai By J. Hugh Pruttt Aitronomtr. rxtrnilon Dlvliloa Oretun Hither Education Sybtrm The principal theories ad vanced by scientists of the past two centuries lo account for the formation of the solar planets were mentioned in this column last week. Today we consider briefly the very latest, the vor tex theory of Dr. Gerard P. Kui per, University of Chicago astronomer. Kuiper's theory was made public only last October before a select assemblage of 500 pro fesors, students and distin guished guests. According to the University of Chicago's news re lease, we infer that it requires a rather profound mathematical effort for an accurate compre hension. We find the statement that "it links together for the first time with precision the hy dro-dynamical knowledge of vor tex motion with astronomical data." But side stepping the "deep stuff" and making no at tempt to state the "why" of the processes, we give here a simpli fied version: Once Ball of Gas In the dim past, the material of the present solar system was in a vast and disorganized ball of rotating gas and dust, a sort of nebula. About three billion years ago the central portion of thus had condensed into the sun and the rest had flattened out into a celestial pancake. Then operations surely speeded up lor witrfni a tew thousand years the present planets had been formed, and after another cen tury the satellites (moons) of Herman Nichols Washington, Apr. 15 (U.Ri Are you in the market for some I line old-world bells? I Maybe you can gt't a bar gain basement rate on same if you are. And thereby hangs a tale. Chicago is holding what is called an internati o n a 1 trade fair come the middle of August. The The fair people got a letter from a fam ous bell louncier in Holland. He would like to exhibit one of his finest carillons at the trade fair, but right now the man is up a tree. His carillon has 35 bells. They weigh up to 17 tons. and are hung on a massive 50-foot steel frame of a special design. In ad dition, there is a keyboard and electrical machinery for auto matic operation. All that adds up to a lot of weight, a lot of shipping space, and a lot of dollars for transpor tation. Dollars Lacking The Dutch manufacturer, whose bells are installed in most of the carillons ill Europe, wrote that he doesn t have the Ameri can dollars to foot the transpor tation bill. It would cost him a pretty penny, he said, to ship the bell tower to Chicago, erect it, take it down, and ship it back to Holland. The man said he could man age nothing more than a one-way operation. So now he is shopping round for an American buyer. The Dutchman will bring the, thing over here, rig it up and sound the clappers at the fair. When he sells it if he does he will settle for the price of an ancient work ol European art, f.o.b.. Chicago, instead of f.o.b. Amsterdam. All of which sent me to the library. Too Complicated Bell-making is too complicat ed to explain in a few words. But some of the inscriptions on the bells are interesting. All of them arc on the rims. On one celebrated gong called "Roe lant'' at Ghent (Belgium) is the inscription: "Ik ben Roelant "Ik kleppe brand "En luide storm in Vlaander land." Translated, that means, "I am Roland, sounding the alarm in fire or storm in Flanders." A Netherlands bell which the nazis carried off bore this note: "Klok uit de toren "Oorlog verloren.' In England, that says: "Bells away "Country estray." Soma Belli Joyous And after the war was over, a newly installed bell bore the notation: "Mof op zijn rug "Klokken trrug." That is translated: "Jerries down "Bells back to town." Bells across the century have' sounded the death knell of peo-. pie and nations. But at times they have been joyous. j The Dutch bell foundries ap- pear to be the most prolific, j Many bells are made of bronze. Others with steel. The Dutch put out about 1,400 , bells a year.

CLOSED EVERY FRIDAY the planets were completed. The original huge pancake around the sun resembled some what the present ring system ( around Saturn. It was approxi mately 100 times as wide as thick, and its mass was about half that of the central sun. It continued to contract, until due to gravitational instability so the mathematics reveal it could no longer maintain the "status quo." Then whirling eddies be-1 gan to form here and there in the dusty gas of the hotcake 1 although it was not hot except-1 ing near the sun according to Dr. Kuiper. He calls these whirls "proto-planets," which we i might interpret as meaning "the parents of the planets." By this 1 time sizeable chunks of solid matter had formed in the whirl- j pools. ' ! Rings Wider Finally the material of the ed-' dies was collecting into larger masses, the planets, each with a Saturnian pancake surrounding it, but much wider than the pres ent ring of Saturn These disks in turn collected and formed satellites with the exception of the inner part of Saturn's ring, which is o close to the planet a moon cannot form there. ! Our moon was a notable ex ception among the satellites, ac-1 cording to Dr. Kuiper. It and the earth were produced simul-1 taneously as a double planet, tne final shunks of solid matter fall ing onto them from their com mon vortex produced immense scars on both. Weathering has worn most of these from the earth's surface, but they remain as craters on the airless moon. The Kuiperian ideas of plane tary origins surely resembles in many respects the 18th-century nebular hypothesis of Kant and Laplace.
