Monday. Mir i. 1932
Elephant Puts Sudden End
To Happy Family Outing
Milwaukee U.R) A bull ele
phant lumbered out of a Mil
waukee cemetery and turned a
peaceful outing into a tempor
ary nightmare for Mrs. Casimir
Kott and her family.
Mrs. Kott had taken her moth
er, Mrs. Agnes Woldanski, and
her four-year-old twins for a
drive. She was passing by the
cemetery when the elephant
trundled toward the road.
Elephant Comes Forward

Kott braked to a halt. But the
elephant continued straight for
the car. A blast of the horn and
screams of the twins failed to
stop the tank-like approcah.
Mrs. Kott tried frantically to
start the engine, which had
stalled wheh she put on the
brakes.
Finally, with the huge bull
less than 10 feet away and still
coming, she got the car started
and made a "jack rabbit" take
off. The car slipped by the ele
phant with a scant five feet to
spare.
Cemetery attendants were
hard to convince they had an ele
phant on the premises.
"We haven't had an elephant
around here since 1932," one
said.
Finally they went to the spot
with the Kotts trailing at a re
spectable distance.
Owner Found
They found the elephant
munching peacefully on the rich
cemetery grass. Nearby was Rob
ert Moore, manager of the Kelly
Morris circus which was in Mil
waukee for a one-day stand.
Moore explained he had taken
Trilby, a 30-year-old elephant,
for a stroll between shows to
"stretch his legs."
Alley Too Narrow;
Tiny Auto Escapes
Detroit (U.R) A tiny auto
mobile gave a police cruiser the
slip by scooting through an al
ley too narrow for the bigger
car to pass.
It wasn't until some time later
Sunday that policemen arrested
Emil Olszewski, 22, wh,en they
found his car parked in front of
his home. He was charged with
making an illegal turn off a
downtown street.

Plans for Memorial
Room in SOC Gym
To Be Considered
Ashland A suggestion that
plans be made to furnish an
alumni memorial room in the
new gymnasium proposed at
Southern Oregon college will be
made at the Sunday meeting of
the Alumni association, it was
announced today by Daniel Bui
kley, acting chairman of the
physical education department.
Discussion of the plan will
take place at the noon luncheon
to be held at Susanne Homes
hall prior to the afternoon com
mencement exercises, Bulkley
said. Alumni will also conduct
regular business and hear the
Rev. George R. Bolster, rector
of St. Mark's Episcopal church,
Medford, who will present the
luncheon address.
Committee Planned
Bulkley said an effort will be
made to appoint a committee
which would organize a fund
drive to finance the project. He
proposed that the Alumni asso
ciation might furnish one or two
rooms in the multi-purpose phy
sical education building which
be requested by the State Board
of Higher Education at the 1953
session of the Oregon state legis
lature.
Graduates who plan to attend
the luncheon meeting were also
reminded today that reservations
must be made by Wednesday
either in writing or by telephon
ing Mrs Margaret Skerry at Su
sanne Homes hall.
North Bend Patient
Flown to Home City
Charles C. Davis, about 55,
North Bend, Ore., who has been
a patient at Sacred Heart hos
pital here, was taken to his home
by Mercy Flights air ambulance
plane this morning. He had been
treated for a heart ailment.
Mrs. Davis accompanied her
husband on the flight, which was
to have been made at a low alti
tude because of his condition.
Bill Rosenbalm Jr. was pilot,
and Harold Connor was copilot.
The plane left at 9:20 a.m. and
was due back before noon.
The patient was the 61st car
ried by the non-profit air ambu
lance organization.
OLD COIN A PUZZLE
Tupelo, Miss. (U.R) Thom
as Barnes, 15, was digging fish
ing worms when he turned up a
strange gold coin dated 1781 and
carrying a Latin inscription,
"Small Things Lead to Happi
ness." The origin of the coin has
experts stumped.
'Crow' Attracts Observers
By J. Hugh Pruett
. CORVUS. THE CHOW
Astronomer, Extension Division
Oregon Higher EducaUon System
Over a wide expanse of the
heavens there are scattered here
and there many charming little
stellar groups made up of small
stars which alone are not very
noticeable but which -collective
ly present striking ' configura
tions. One such group, Corvus
the Crow, often attracts the at
tention of casual observers, who
inquire regarding its identity.
At present it should not be at
all difficult to locate this little
constelaltion. At around 9 p. m.
standard time, the bright yellow
planet Saturn is easily spotted
well up in the southern sky. Al
most below Saturn we instantly
sight a four-sided figure, not
quite a square but more nearly
like the bowl of a dipper open
toward the left. Its four princi
pal stars are all of about the
same brightness. They are dim
mer than most of the stars in the
familair Big Dipper, which is
now almost overhead, but are
about like the star where the
handle of the Big Dipper joins
the bowl.
Columbia Basin
Opening Turns Back
Pages of History
Quincy, Wash. (U.R) The
West turned back the pages of
history here to celebrate open
ing of the greatest irrigation
project in the United States.
Citizens with beards and
slouch hats, six guns and stage
coaches set up a pioneer parade
and farming contests in honor
of the opening of the Columbia
basin.
Plowing Contests '
On the progam for the day
were plowing contests using
horses instead of tractors. And
there were six-gun shoots, races
and horsepulling contests all
culled from the history books
and all aimed at presenting a
real Western atmosphere.
In three more days, a Recla
mation Bureau official will loose
the waters of Grand Coulee dam
reservoir into a semi-arid desert
and turn more than 1,000,000
acres into fertile farmland.
New Settlers Expected
The wedding of desert and
water is expected to bring about
95,000 new settlers pioneers in
their own right into Eastern
Washington this year.
Farm plots varying in size
from 10 to 160 acres will be sold
on a homestead-preference basis
to veterans and other eligible
applicants as the water is turned
into the desert.
Nestling very close to Delta,
the star in the upper left-hand
corner of our four-sided figure,
we find another and much small
er star. We might assume this is
the beak of the crow, but the an
cient star-gazers decreed it oth
erwise. As they outlined this
dark-colored bird, the star e
low the lower right-hand corner
of our four-sided Kgure served
as the beak. He is thus tipped up
with his tail high and his head
low.
Our crow is usually pictured
as standing on and pecking
down at Hydra, the very long
water snake, which now stretch
es across a large expanse of the
southern evening sky. As with
many of the constellation figu
ures, it may be rather difficult
to see the creature supposedly
depicted by these stars. The
ancients are credited with vivid
imaginations.
The mythology of Corvus is
varied. Dr. Henzel of Harvard
observatory suggests that this
sky Crow may have represented
a storm bird, or even a large
sunspot group sometimes visible
to the unaided eye and resemb
ling a dark-colored flying bird.
Once of Light Color
One story represents the crow
as originally being of a light
color, but as he was a tale-bearer
"his prating tongue had
changed him quite to a sooty
blackness from the purest
white." Another relates how the
god Apollo, suspecting his love,
Coronis, of being untrue to him,
sent Corvus to spy on her. Cor
vus, carefully carrying out his
mission, reported that Apollo's
suspicions were well founded.
As a reward he was given an ev
erlasting abode among the stars
of the southern sky. .
Whatever the origin of the
naming of this constellation, it
forms a most attractive little
group on the southern heavens.
Telescopically, Delta becomes a
double, the two stars making a
beautiful contrast in color of
yelow and purple.
Western Union
