ford. Vernon P. Emmons was in
Africa during World War II. He
learned a lot about conditions
in Egypt, contributing to the
recent coup d'etat which ousted
King Farouk and is moving to
clean up the country.
He found some Americans
more contented there, however,
than they would be in the USA.
For one thing the dollar goes
further in Africa.
He told of an experience at
camp when he and another GI
were returning late one night
and groping their way through
the trenches on the outskirts.
They were lined with sharp
stones and in a blackout the two
men fell and were skinned bad
ly on face and arms.
Finding themselves in a maze !
and unable to get out of the
trench, they parked there during
the remainder of the night. When
the company commander saw
them next day he thought they
had been in a fight and they
were brought before him to
make a report so that the assail
ants could be apprehended.
When Emmons and his com
panion explained what had hap
pened, the captain laughed and

Senator's Philosophy
Results in Reunion
Washington (U.R) Bible
quoting Sen. Charles W. Tobey
practices as well as preaches the
rule of helping others.
After publication of his book,
"A Return to Morality," which
explains the senator's philoso
phy, the New Hampshire Repub
lican's office was flooded with
mail.
Many wanted to know more
about the Senate crime investi
gating committee. Some did not
mention organized corruption.
Among the letters was one from
a man whose wife had left him.
It read:
"My friends in your district
tell me that you can do anything.
So I wish you'd see if you can
get my wife to come back to
me. She has left me. But I love
her very much, and I want her
back."
Tobey wrote back:
"I will do my best. Send me
your wife's address."
Shortly thereafter the woman
received a letter from the sen
ator. It said: "marriage is a holy
bond and your husband loves
you very much."
He didn't get an answer from
her.
Sometime later, however, the
senator received a message from
her husband.
"You are wonderful!" he
wrote. "My wife is back with me
again. I am the happiest man in
the world."

August Sky Review
By J. HUGH PRUETT
Astronomer. Extension Division
Oregon Higher Education System
The planets Venus and Merc
ury are setting a little after
sundown, but they are so nearly
in the direction of old Sol that
they are hidden in his rays.
Mercury apparently is drawing
nearer the sun, but Venus is
getting farther from it and
around the middle of the month
can be sighted very low in the
west in the early twilight. Venus'
position will improve during the
rest of the year and late in De
cember it will serve as a gor
geous Christmas star.
The brilliant planet Jupiter is
now rising slightly north of east
at about midnight standard time
and by sunrise is high in the
south. It is by far the brightest
star-like object now visible in
the night sky.
Four Bright Objects
For the evening sky, let us
observe around an hour after
sunset. There is a long, irregular
line of four bright objects rather
low across the southwest. They
start slightly west of south and
extend to the west southwest.
Three are of nearly equal bright
ness; the other is considerably
more luminous. Two are decided
ly red.
At the left of this line we
find the red star Antares, men
tioned last week as the throb
bing heart of the Scorpion. Far
ther right is another Red ob
ject and the brightest of all
the planet Mars. Notice that
Antares twinkles while Mars
does not. This behavior is a
characteristic difference between
stars and planets. The next two
are more white in color. The
star Spica comes next after Mars,
then at the far right of the string
of celestial jewels we find the
planet Saturn. Note that this line
moves westward as the evening
advances.
Orange Star Prominent
Very high in the western heav
ens and towards the southwest
the orange star Arcturus is
prominent at the lower end of
the Kite. Note the little stars
above Arcturus which complete
the large figure. To the left of
the top of the Kite, a small half
circle of little stars outlines the
Northern Crown.
High in the northwest the Big
Dipper slides down toward the
north, bowl first. If you are not
farther south than latitude 45
degrees and your landscape is
level, you will see the bright
lor, divorce complaint.

A Nichols' Worth of
Comment On
BY HaRMAN
United Press
Washington (U.R) Maybe j
we've got this saucer business
licked. Not the flying kind,, but
r""' the saucer that
iiuiu.5 me i:up.
A friend of
mine has in
invented a
drip-proof sau
cer, he claims,
that is not a
mirage. The
inventor is
Frank Hole
man. He is one
Harmoa Nichols
of the three
New York
Daily News men who have
formed a corporation with the
idea of going into production as
soon as they can find a financial
angel. The other two are Ted
Lewis and Gus Tarry.
Frank got his idea while eat
ing lunch one day. He had on a
clean white shirt and a bright
red bow tie. He took a sip of his
coffee and the spill-over col
lected on the bottom of the cup
as it always does. A blob scor
ed a near miss on the tie and
landed on Frank's shirt.
Right there lightning struck
and an inventor was born.
Frank took the rest of the day
off. He went to a dime store and
bought the kitchen table variety
of saucer and a packet of kid's
modeling clay. He fashioned
some ridges in the bottom of the
saucer, let it dry and tried it
out. The idea worked. No drip.
The drip dripped off the bottom
of the cup into the ridges. It was
that simple.
and vellow Canella almost on
the horizon and about due north.
Very nearly overhead slight
ly east bright Vega in the Harp
of Orpheus is gleaming. Some
what lower and to the north
Deneb marks the head of the
Northern Cross, a large figure
lying on its side and extending
toward the south. Altair with a
dimmer star on each side of it
glows high in the southeast.
Notice how low the moon Is
as it goes across the south. This
is characteristic of full moons
of summer. In the winter they
are high in the sky, rising to
ward the northeast and setting
toward the northwest.
Helicopter Trainees
Veterans of Aviation
Fort Sill, Okla. U.R) Heli
copter pilots training at the
Army's only flying school here
aren't flying the slow-moving
"windmills" just because they
couldn't qualify for more glam
orous service with fighter or
bomber squadron.
The latest class to graduate
31 strong held six distinguish
ed flying crosses, 21 air medals,
a bronze star and Navy commen
dation ribbon and many other
decorations for action in World
War II and Korea.
Among the graduates were
eight former Air Force and one
Marine pilot and 10 of the class
had been commercial pilots,
flight instructors or airplane
mechanics in civilian life. An
other was an aerial crop duster.
The comment of W.O.J.G.
Jack H. Roberts, 28, is typical
of how the pilots feel. Roberts
flew Spitfires and B-38s with
the 8th air force during the
European campaign of World
War II.
"Helicopters are slower but
they're a lot more fun to fly,"
Roberts said.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN
This and That
W. NICHOLS
Feature Writer
The same day he took his
brainchild to a patent attorney.
The lawyer said for a $15 fee he
would have a search made at
the patent office to see if there
was anything like it on the mar
ket. The results was patent No.
2-536,936.
All of this was running into
more money than Frank could
afford so he gathered in Ted and
Gus as partners. Gus, a telegraph
operator at the News, acted as
the, "front man" and got an Aus
trian expert on pottery to make
a model.
There the matter rests. Al
though certain people with
money have expressed an inter
est, enough capital still "hasn't
shown up.
Invents Other Things
Frank has been inspired to In
vent a few other things.
One was a bathtub brush to
allow a lady to scrub her tub
without breaking her back
from a standing position. That
one was never patented.
"It seems there isn't much
that hasn't been invented,"
Frank says.
But he went ahead anyhow
and thought up a deck of cards
to teach the kids their multipli
cation tables. The cards were cut
in two like a jig-saw puzzle. For
instance one card contained
three times eight, six times four
and two times 12 all, of course
coming out at 24.
"Some guy in 1904 had beat
me to that one," Frank says.
Frank, a towering, skinny vet
eran in World War II, noticed
that his fellow GI's were having
trouble with their toothpaste.
They'd unscrew the top, and
lost same in the leaves. He in
vented a cap that would snap on
and wouldn't get lost, also pre
viously patented.
Our man also tried his inven
tive genius on a fire proof
match, but that one backfired,
too. It already had been in
vented So it seems that about the
only thing really new under the
sun is the drip-proof saucer.
