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."

Moon and the Tides
By J. 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.
When the moon is over a cer
tain part of the ocean, the water

on that side being nearer Is
pulled harder than the solid
earth itself,' thus causing it to
heap up two or three feet high
er than usual. 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

"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. At
the head of the Bay of Fundi;
rise of 50 feet is often recorded I
