OF SMITH & MEN By Jack Smith (c) I960 Tlmes-Mlrror Syndicate A woman got a divorce the other day, 1 read, on the ground that her husband was moody. This shows how tenuous a relationship marriage really is, and how the gentlest ill wind can blow it asunder. Moodiness, of course, can include a mess of evils. You might argue that Jack the Ripper wus a moody chap. But in the case referred to, the husbnnd seems to have been a paragon in every other respect. He didn t beat his wife; he didn't drink too much and crash about like a wounded alligator: ho didn't even pur sue other females. In fact, he seems to have had few amusements. Small wonder he was subject to oc casional moods. The acceptance of moodi ness as legal cause for di vorce leaves us all hanging to the ship of matrimony by rather slippery lines. The whole sorry story re calls to mind a case in which I played the role of friend to both parlies. It involved a pharmaceut ical salesman who Insisted on keeping a live deer in the kitchen one winter. I wouldn't call this a mood much as an eccentricity. This fellow seemed to have a-compulsion to overprotect deer. Oddly, his wife, a really good sort, didn't mind too much. She wus n jewel. She used to say 11 could be worse He could have kept n moose Anyway, the deer was house- broken. It was called Evango line. The wife finally divorced my friend because ho had a huge pocket watch which he put under his pillow at night. It was a Hamilton; as I re member. It was an heirloom from ills father, who had been a conductor on the Wabash Line. It kept his wife awake. In her complaint before the court, of course, she didn't mention the watch. She knew that keeping a pocket watch under the connubial pillow might seem to the judge to be a trivial offense, and no cause for cleaving whom God had joined together. , So she wisely blamed every thing on the deer, which real ly had nothing to do with the failure of the marriage. It worked splendidly. Women have an Instinct about the right thing to say In divorce court. If she had told about the watch the judge doubtless would have sympathized with my friend. Most men share a nostalgic affection for the kind of watches their fathers owned those enormous, en graved gold baubles with their thick black Roman numerals to mark the hours. After she had told about my friend keeping the deer, her lawyer asked her, "Did this make you nervous?" "Why, yes, surely," she said. "And did it cause you to lose weight?" he persisted. "Yes, yes," she declared. "I grow thin and had head aches." At this point the Judge, a sensitive fellow, allowed that he had heard enough. Ho granted the divorce. The irony of .. was that as soon as she had her divorce my friend's wife asked for custody of the deer. She had developed an affection for the beast while her husband was on the road. The tragedy of the whole affair was that, to get her de cree, the wife had to accuse my friend legally of extreme mental cruelty, a brand which he finds hard to live down. Maybe he was foolish - to keep a watch under pillow but I know he didn't have t stain of cruelty on his escut cheon. His wife knew it, too. "It wasn't John's watch at all," she told me later. "It was his moods."

D, Hagenstein, executive vice president of the Industrial Forestry Association, said Tuesday. Hagenstein said the forest industry continued as the Pa cific Northwest's leading em ployer with 152,000 Jobs last year. Its employees earned more than $810 million, also a record. Oregon's forest products yielded $1.3 million and Wash ington's $020 million. Hagcn stein said this was the fifth time Oregon's wood harvest yielded more than $1 billion and the second time In which Washington's exceeded $000 million. children need 1 yi pmi ooster Shots to continue protection against m mm mm 3 Published as a public service by the Medford Mail Tribune Portable X-Ray Developed at McMinnville Washington -IUPD- A revolu tionary new portable x-ray unit which weighs only 85 pounds has been developed by scientists' at Linfield Col lege in McMinnville, Ore., ac cording to the Aimy Medical Service here. The self-powered clinical sembled into five-stage launch x-ray unit, about the size of Launch Vehicle Could Put 250,000 Pounds in Orbit Washington - (UPD - A space scientist said Tuesday that the United States could per fect a giant, low-cost, all solid fuel rocket in time to put a man safely on the moon by January, 1967. This would be several years ahead of the National Aero nautics and Space Adminis tration's schedule for a man ned trip to the moon powered in part by liquid fuel rockets. H. L. Thackwell Jr. of the Grand Central Rocket Co., Rcdlands, Calif., proposed construction of a five-stage solid fuel rocket which would be manufactured in sections and put together at the launch site. "Assuming a starting date of Jan. 1, 1961," Thackwell told the American Rocket So ciety, "It would be possible for the U.S. to land a man on the moon by January, 1967. "This same launch vehicle could place 250,000 pounds into a 300-mile orbit at an over - all launch cost of ap proximately $100 per pound as compared to the $10,000 per pound it has cost to launch the present U.S. satellites into orbit." Developing Small Rocket The civilian space agency is developing a small all-solid fuel rocket, the Scout, for hurling 150 -pound satellites into 300-mile orbits from the Wallops Island, Va., launch center. It has ordered studies of solid fuel giants gener ating millions of pounds of thrust. T h a c k well proposed an early start on actual building of such rockets. He envisions simple motor segments loaded with propellant at the factory and designed for easy trans portation by existing means to the launching site. There they would be as- a suitcase, was developed by Linfield Research Institute to replace the 1,000 pound units which have been used in Army field hospitals and mo bile surgical hospitals. The new unit operates fast enough to avoid blur in chest radiography while the patient is breathing normally, the Army said. Will Weigh Less Commercial production for the new machine is expected to get under way at Field Emission Corporation at Mc Minnville in the coming year. A procution prototype now is under development and prob ably will weigh considerably less than the present 85-pound model. Initial concept and design were developed by Dr. Walter P. Dyke, director of LRI, and Frank J. Grundhauser, after a military need for such machine was made known. 14 Countries Enter Monaco TV Festival Monte Carlo, Monaco (UPD- tourieen countries have en tered the first international television festival of Monaco, winch will Judge TV films. Prince Rainier, husband of tne former Grace Kelly, found ed the festival to help develop international relations in tele vision. vehicles. He said il.at because the segments are loaded at the factory, fewer men and less complex equipment are need ed at the launching area. He said that would greatly reduce countdown times and cost. "The proven reliability and safety of solid rockets, coupled with their low production and development costs, has made them logical candidates," Thackwell continued, "for the launch vehicles required by the U.S. space programs." Private Space Ventures The rocket society also was told that before another year has passed private companies will have tested in orbit the forerunners of a satellite sys tem providing world wide commercial telephone and television service. The American Telephone and Telegraph Co. expects to have an active-repeater satel lite, which will receive and rebroadcast messages, ready for launching next fall into an orbit of a few thousand miles' altitude. The- Hughes Aircraft Co., the society was told, will be ready at' the same time to launch a similar satellite into a 24-hour "stationary orbit" about 22,300 miles high. At such a height the satel lite's orbital velocity would be Identical with the earth's speed of rotation and there fore would appear to an ob- Transportation Leads To Capture of Texan Long Beach, Calif. - (UPD - A Texan escaped from the city's honor farm Tuesday and near ly got away except for one thing - his true-to-Texas form of transportation.
