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."

Forest Products
Income Increases
Portland - (UPI) - The forest
products industry brought
$2.25 billion Into Oregon and
Washington in 1050, 11 per
cent higher than the previous
record year of 1956, W. 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.

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.

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
