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.

MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Tuesday, May 27, 138 7
Louiie T. 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.

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.

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.
