0Z)r SS5 l '''' " TWO PALS GET TOGETHER at Bell Gardens, Cal., after Stomie arouses Arthur Bernler family In time to save life of his master Roger, 8, who was choking to death in bedroom. "I wouldn't trade my dog for anything In world, not even million dollars," says Roger as Stomie affectionately licks his face. (International) On The Side (Distributed by King Feature Svadicata, Inc.) In commemoration of my twentieth anniversary as a coast to coast airline passenger, I tdok a flying machine transcontinen tal trip on the same line on which I made my bow as a long distance plane traveler. Went : on the nonstop night flight, It was a beautiful night, themoon was beautiful, the plane steward esses were beautiful, the trip was beautiful; only the food was vile. You would think when so many people bring their own food along on an airplane trip that the companies would take the hint. One 'feminine passen ger on this particular trip bought a couple of sandwiches at the airport lunch counter to eat on the way. ; Speed Am not especially enthusias tic about nonstop flights to the coast. I am seldom in e hurry. I liked It better when the cross country planes stopped at Pitts burgh, Kansas City, Wichita and Albuquerque on the way west. I enjoyed getting out to stretch my legs and breathe in a bit of fresh air. Broke the monotony, of the trip. Believe my first transcontinental' in 1934 took around eighteen hours. The lat est one, nonstop, ' tooK . nine hours. Horses & Women The most efficient feminine workers : are registered nurses, airline stewardesses and execu tive secretaries. In the order flamed. At one time only regis--tered nurses were employed as : airline , stewardesses. The air ' queens ' are all bachelorettes. Thei e is no better school for brides than the airlines. That is as far as domestic efficiency and understanding men is concern : ed. I have heard that while air line hostesses become brilliant ,home managers, they are a little -difficult to handle as wives. Takes a man of strong charac ter possessed of much patience . and tact to break an airline hos tess into matrimonial harness. Get It Bight Note it said that Geraldine Farrar created the role of Car men.. That's wrong.' Minnie Hauk, a native New Yorker, cre ated Carmen. She was Bizet s ideal Carmen. ' Incidentally, my claim that the great Adelina Patti was a New ' Yorker has been questioned. Adelina was ; brought to this country by her - parents at the age of 7. She lived on East Tenth Street, Man hattan. At the peak of her ca rreer, Adelina's concert fee was $5,000 a night, cash in advance. At that time there was no in- " come tax to pay and the dollar ? had four times the buying power iit has today! , Smokers Cigar smokers are finally set- .ting a few breaks. You, can now. smoke a cigar on some pianes. That is, in the lounge. Cigaret smoking has always been per missible and in your seat. Ex clusion of cigars has nothing to do with fire prevention. It is because, some feminine passen gers object to cigar smoking. Even some female who are chain smokers of cigarets have the nerve to squawk about : cigar smoking. By-the way, young fel low, if you are a cigar smoker and you have a girl friend who objects to cigars, you better hesi tate and think things over before you accept her proposal of mar riage. She may make a difficult life partner. Keep in mind Kip ling's immortal observation: "A woman is only a woman but a good cigar is a smoke."

HUGH PRUETT Astronomer, Extension - Division Oregon Hither Education System "Backward and forward under the moon Swingeth the tide in her time worn SMjay." Dwellers by the restless sea, ever aware of the daily ebb and flow of the tides, " have since ancient times recognized a con nection between this action and the position of the moon. Not until a few hundred years ago, however had gravitational, as tronomy - sufficiently advanced as to enable "Sir Isaac Newton to. give a logical explanation of the - phenomenon- W r -? , On an average throughout a year a high-tide occurs about 24 hours 51 minutes later on any day than on the preceding day. Since the moon also jeaches its average Tiighest position in the sky 24 . hours 51 minutes later each succeeding day, Dr. Russell, the - Princeton astronomer, lias been led to remark that the odd 51 minutes are the moon's "ear mark." f '.;'v.:::-;' ;.v ' vVry Objects Attract Each Other , . But high tides also occur mid way between these times. Ac cording to Newton's law of uni versal gravitation, all objects at tract each other something like a magnet attracts iron. ' The earth pulls on a stone; the sun and moon on the earth. The closer the objects, 'the harder the pull.

But the earth is nearer the moon than the water on the side opposite, so it is pulled away from that portion of water. We thus have bulges of water on opposite sides of the earth. As . the earth turns it brings successive portions of its watery surface under the moon so that the two .bulges travel around the earth once in a. little over a day. '- :... -,- Sun's Effect Lest - ' The sun also f aises the water but its effective tidal force ' is only about .511 t h a t of the moon. The highest tides occur twice a month, at new moon and full moon, when the sun. and moon , are lined up with each other. -These excessive, water elevations are knowi as "spring tides." - Between the times of these phases of the moon the Sunday. lTovmbr 21, 1954 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE TOTZElf "lowest" high tides occur, the neap tides. Half way between any two high tides there occur the low tides.. High tide does not always oc cur everywhere at the instant the moon is highest in the sky. Interference by bodies of land, shallowness of the ocean and other factors produce a decided lag. It has been calculated that if the whole earth were covered with water 13 miles deep with a few small islands on which to conduct measurements that the tides - would - keep right along i with the moon's highest positions and would never be more than three feet high. . But under ex isting conditions tides are ex tremely high at some places.
