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.

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

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.

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.
