By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist Carthage Held Million At Height of lis Fame Tunis, May 26 Via TWA A major attraction of this booming city of 400,000 is the nearby ruins of Carthage not far from where thousands of Americans who fell in World War II are buried. The ancient city, founded in 822 B.C., held over a mil lion people at the height of its power, and among its most im pressive remains are the an cient harbors. The naval har bor, a third the size of the 60 acre commercial one, had fa cilities for 220 war galleys. There was an island in the middle from which the Car thaginian admiral could re view his ships. After viewing the remains of the many churches and ba silicas of later Carthage, I went to see the ruins of the , Mfrlt water system that brought 7,000,000 gallons a day from the mountains 56 miles off. Enough of it is left to enable one to envision the city as it was when the Romans de stroyed it in 146 B.C. Tired from so much sight seeing; I sat down against a 50-foot high arch. Presently I saw a familiar face looking at me from a nearby broken pillar. It was a gecko, a close relative of the kind we have in Texas and the Southwest. There are two types of these little' lizards in Tunisia. One doesn't have adhesive suckers on his feet that let him run up the side of a broken col umn. Instead he has a fringe of scales betr.een his toes that act on the sand like snow shoes on snow. The one giving me the eye from his lidless optic was the adhesive type. They are gen erally nocturnal, but since it was late afternoon, this one had probably decided to get the jump on his colleagues in the nightly bug hunt. . As I studied him from his flattened head to his stumpy tail, noting his toadlike warts, a fly buzzed by and lit a few inches away from him. . There was a pale gray flash along the stone. I blinked. The gecko was where the fly had been. The ily was gone. Though many people regard geckos as dangerous some say they leave poison In their tracks they are quite harm less. They are ugly to look at, and the speed with which they run across even ' a ceiling is disconcerting. But there ought to be more of them. Flies can get used to DDT, but all they can do about geckos is hope to avoid them.

My parents fight all the time. Mrs. M. T. Louise makes things worse. Louise T. I am 16 and so unhappy I could just die. I hate my home and I can't stand my parents. They fight all the time. , My father is the most incon siderate man who ever lived. He expects my mother to run a perfect home and always to be ready to entertain his friends at the drop of a hat. He doesn't give her enough money to buy beautiful cloth es, but he complains if she doesn't look nice. My 12-year-old sister and 8-year-old brother don't un derstand what is going on, but I know they are going to be as unhappy as I am when they grow up. I try to help them and teach them to ignore our parents, but I'm afraid they're going to become juvenile de linquents as a result of all the trouble in our home. . Mrs. M. T. Between Lo uise and my husband, I am really run ragged. It is true that my husband is extreme ly demanding. He wants everything to be perfect sand raises a storm if things don't go smoothly. Yet he is al ways complaining about the budget. Louise makes things even harder. If her father, says the least word or make an. ex pression of disaproyal she flies into p temper tantrum. The worst of it is she goes around broadcasting our troubles. She tells her friends about it and recently went to a family friend of ours and asked him to speak to her father to make him treat me better. - In spite of everything my husband and I are fairly hap py in our marriage. Unfor tunately, Louise hears too much of the bad side. .- The Council: It certainly sounds as though Louise hears too much of the bad side of this marriage. Louise's apparent notion that - she must defend her mother against that big bad bully her father is a pretty bad sign. Like all girls, she gets her idea of what to ex pect from men and marriage from her father and the-, re lationship between her par ents as she sees it. Natural ly she doesn't take in all the undercurrents of the relation ship. Despite Mrs. M. T.'s belief that the marriage is "fairly happy," we suspect that there could be many improvements. Happy individuals tend to treat one another with respect and consideration. They don't "raise storms" if things are somewhat less than perfect. We don't know what is eat ing Mr. M. T., but we think he ought to find out and to try to approach his family life in a more rational adult spirit. He should be aware of the fact that he is doing the entire family great damage. Louise apparently takes her father's expressions of anger and disapproval as partially directed against her. She can well use some fatherly kind liness and "understanding . It is very likely that Mrs. M. T. has something to do with provoking her husband's fits of wrath. She must learn to use some judgment and sends me the best rue-life na ture adventure, the best na ture observation, or the best question on nature and wild life, a complete 30-volume set of this world-famous reference work in a handsome Sealcraft binding.

Please address your letter to: IS THAT SO! co Medford Mail Tribune, Box 1069, San Fran cisco, Calif. ir Travel Safer Than Horse, Buggy Roundtable Told Brian Douglas, sales man ager at Rogue Flying service, said that air travel is safer than the horse suid buggy, when he spoke at the weekly Jackson County Chamber of Commerce roundtable lunch eon yesterday noon at the Jackson hotel. Douglas was introduced by Floyd Hart, chairman of the chamber's aviation commit the prison. Douglas was an Air Force pilot in World ; War II, and before coming to Medford last January, was assistant direc tor of the California state board of aeronautics, and was sales manager of the largest aircraft distributor in south ern California. Robert G. Balk, program chairman for the roundtable, presided. Douglas spoke particularly about airplane travel in cate gories other than commercial airlines and the military, and especially business flying. He also mentioned crop dusting, air charter, instruction and pleasure flying.. Describes Airport Describing the Medford air port as "very complete and adequate," Douglas . said that it .- equals those of Portland and Sacramento-San Francis co, and surpasses any in be tween. In answer to a question, he said that probably the run ways will be extended in the not-too-distant future. Here the city has the advantage of plenty of space, he said, whereas, in San Francisco, it was necessary to condemn and purchase thousands of dollars worth of property im provements, and re-locate, and re-construct many miles of streets and highways. Business flying is the most rapidly growing field in avia tion, Douglas said, pointing out that business concerns have twice as many multi engine aircraft in operation as do the commercial air car- self-control to avoid such put breaks. Possibly' financial strains are getting Mr. T. down. It would be a good idea for Mrs. M. T. to work out a satisfac tory budget with her husband, showing exactly what she can do with a specific amount of money and letting him know that his peace of mind is far more important to her than any material advantage. (Copyright 1858. General Features Corp.) riers, and clocked three times as many hours of air travel last year. More people were injured last year by hit-and-run bicycle riders than in business planes, he said. . - In the United States, 60,000 people are in he air, in one type or another of aircraft, day and night. Two hundred of these stop every 24 hours at the Medford airport, the speaker said. Tourists, as well as business visitors, are ar riving in ever-increasing num bers via the airways, he men tioned. Douglas described the "typ ical" business plane as one in the four-place category; with cruising speed of 120 miles per hour or more, and single engine. This average single engine business plane has a range of about 700 miles non stop, without refueling, at tains speed up to 165 to 170 miles per hour, and has a ceiling of from 18,000 to 27, 000 feet. . Expense-wise, business fly ing often is more economical than driving a" car, Douglas said. He mentioned coopera tive flying as one method of enjoying air travel without individual ownership. The Medford Flying club, which has 20 members and has own ed a current plane for 30 years, is to his knowledge the oldest such organization in the United States west of the Mississippi, he said. Speaking on the possibility of collision with jet aircraft, Douglas said that legislation is needed to prohibit jets from using air space that has been pre-empted for civilian use.
