; " reality. There is the Queen | ® Royalty Means Newspaper Sales - Were his knees a little chub- bler?--asked The Daily Express. She was a leggy 13-year-old-- he was one of the first of the few.--sald The Daily Mail. London's: Express wasn't talk ing about Little Lord Fauntleroy. Nor was The Daily Mail describ- ing "Lewis Carroll's Alice in 'Wonderland, Tk The 'Express's .folksy (and * rhetdFical) question was part of a sober. and serious description of the return of 9-year-old " Charles, Prince of Wales and ' heir to the British throne, to the \ fall term at Cheam Schaol; The - Mail was introducing its .seria- lized "inside story" of the ro- mance of Princess Margaret and Group Capt. Peter Townsend. It was circulation - building time for the giants of Fleet Street, and the stops were off the royal adjectives. ' In circulation-building time, stories about the royal family are the solid meat-and-potatoes of the diet, A good murder may be the hors d'oeuvre, and a juicy 'sex story may be the dessert, but the royal family stories are what put flesh on the bones of the street-sale figures. . =~ . Randolph Churchill, son of Sir Winston: and the perpetual - Peck's Bad Boy of British (and sometimes American) journalism, once pointed this out at painful length at a literary luncheon in London. WE After commenting on the "cat- ardct of filth" that flows out of , Fleet Street ("so-deep and lush and fast-flowing . . . that there has recently been some talk . , . .that important pornographers . . . should receive some public recognition), Churchill went on to remark that there are "almost no limits to the disgusting im- pertinence .which a large section of the press allowed itself in handling" the details of the life of the royal family. Impertinent or not, the London "papers were hauling out their purplest royal prose. In the last month, every one of London's , nine major dailies have been i running from one to four stories a day about royalty; while the royal family was in seclusion in Scotland last week, vacationing, three papers were running seria- lizations of books about 'them. > Besides The Mail's gasping ac- . count of the Margaret-Townsend romance (written by Norman Barrymaine), Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express was running "The - Work of the Queen," a staid and 'serious work by Dermot Morrah - (with such inspiring installment heads as "How: the Queen Is A . Keeping Tabs on YOUR Town"), ' and The Daily Telegraph was serializing a stately tome on King George VI by historian John Wheeler-Bennett. In addition to the stories about the royal family as a whole, there were the stories about its members, one by one: Prince Charles' return to school, the non-official social life of Queen Elizabeth II ("Who Are the Queen's very personal' Friends?" asked The Daily Sketch); and a rather personal suggestion to Prince Philip about how to pre- vent baldness. Here's a hair- raiser for the duke, headlined The Daily Mirror. Whatever criticisms might be leveled, the stories would go on, _ for one simple reason: Just as the very simplest action of Pres- . ident Eisenhower's life is news in the U.S, sa everything about the royal family is news.in England. And, In England, it sells papers. Akon | the British royal family is almost too good to be true--a motion-picture scenario writer couldn't have dreamed up any more angles than exist there ¥ = rself, the very epitome of : Queenliness--graclous, kind and pag] There are the two vely children, Charles and the Princess Anne, There is the su- gar-and-vinegar romance of Mar- garet, the gay and vivacious + storybook Princess, and her fa- ) ther's handsome equerry, Peter { - Townsend, Finally there is Phil- ip, the dashing, handsome polo layer- sailor- fighter-pilot- huss and- father. v A family like this is the stuff that romances are written about Malcolm Muggeridge (ex-editor of Punch) may argue that ro- manticizing the royal-family cov- erage is only "make-believe, de- signed to make the British think they're still a major power," and playwright John Osborne, one of Britain's. angry young 'men, may describe it as "the gold fill- Ing in a mouthful of decay." But the men who put out the papers had the final, unanswer- able word. "Put the Queen on the cover," said a magazine circulation man- ager, "and your sales go sky. | rocketing."-- From NEWSWEEK, A journalistic... newcomer "to - Washington telephoned the Lab- or Department and was greeted "by the switchboard operator's traditional "This is Labor."

A rooster in every' other respect, the New Hampshire Red was dubbed "Christine." -- A --_--= Those Amazing New Super-Glues Leaky seams in small boats once drove owners to distraction. No amount of calking was enough to cope with deck seams that opened when the boat was high and dry, and closed when it was in the water. Adhesives "used for calking not only squeez- ed themselves into little ridges, but became brittle in cold weather, , gooey in hot, and run- ny if anyone spilled gasoline on the deck. But all this was before the. ad- hesives industry perfected re- markably versatile -compounds with as much as 500 percent "el- ongation in tension." This simp- ly means the same amount of adhesive makeés a flush, water- proof joint whether the seam is _ an eighth of an inch wide or five times that. Adhesives in this family -- also used for automo- biles, window. joints and other common applications -- retain their characteristics at 10 de- grees below zero or 180 degrees above, and they are unaffected 'by most household solvents. Most seagoing adhesives are answers to specialized problems, However, even around the house, many of the new miracle. glues 'and cements are turning other- wise. inept amateur .handymen into craftsmen. The accomplish- ments of these products range all the way from better, and tastier, ways of applying post- age stamps to super-glues like the one recently "developed by the National Bureau of Stand- ards. It is so strong it can resist a pull of more than 7,000 pounds per square inch. Included in the rapidly ex- panding field of adhesives are glues (from animal and fish gelatins), pastes (made with vegetable starches), mastics (from gums and tars), mucil- ages (also from gums, but of a less vicous nature), and cements (synthetic compounds, usually of thin consistency). Over 30 centuries ago, when famed King Tut was buried in Egypt, the furniture entombed with him was held together with a casein (milk by-product) glue that was still intact when his crypt was opened in 1922. Old records show that the Chinese centuries ago. But it was not un- til late in the 17th century that adhesives -- mostly glues -- were produced in commercial quantities in Holland;. and not until the 1930s that. they began to replace nails, screws and riv- ets to any great degree. -- Developments in adhesives in the past two years have been spectacular. You can, for exam- ple, buy fast-setting cements that outmode clamps and avoid long setting periods; fabric ab- hesives that are as flexible as stitches and withstand repeated dry cleaning; mastics that never fect for years; and contact ce- ments that when dry are not even - tacky to the touch but when pressed together form a permanent, inseparable bond. Basically, for home use, you will find eight types to suit al- most any need: Casein, a powder that must be mixed with water before use, and is excellent for heavy woodworking where only mod- erate resistance to water is need- ed. Resin (urea or plastic), a pow- der that must be mixed with water, and is ideal for fine cab- inetwork where stain-free quali- ties 'and high moisture resistance are needed. * Animal (fish) glue, ready-to- use liquid that takes a long time to set but has great strength for wood and cardboard. Polyvinyl, usually of a white creamy consistency, quick-set- ting, and for all-purpose house- heat are not problems. Resorcinol, powder, with a separate liquid catalyst mixed just before use. waterproof, for outdoor furni- - ture, boats, sporting equipment, and for oily woods. Rubber - base adhesives, the gummy mastics used for floor tiles, linoleum, wall tiles, ply- wood. Usually applied from large tubes or by spreading with trowel. : Cements, of the rubber, house- hold and contact types. Usual- ly solvent-thinned, available in tubes ready to use, and good for a variety of do-it-yourself uses. Pastes, made with vegetable . were familiar with paste many . dry out and retain a cushiony ef- hold uses where moisture and . Absolutely: starches, for use with paper and light cardboard. Why do adhesives stick? Des- pite the diversity of types, the basic theory is that certain dis- similar molecules are attracted to each other like microscopic magnets, or vacuum suction cups. The molecules with the strong- est attraction make up the so- rcalled adhesives. - Establishing a strong bond is difficult because even the most powerful glues and cements set up sufficient at- traction only when applied to certain materials, This is the rea- son it takes special glues to do- special jobs.. From CORONET Led Astray By Antiques? Some men are islands unto themselves, and Daniel Omer Tobias was one of them. When he disappeared, he left no more trace than a pebble that has been tossed into the sea, : Daniel Tobias was born, 58 years ago, on a farm in the pleas- antly rolling hills of Ohio's Mi- ami County, between Tipp City and Troy, and in Miami County he lived most of his life. He went to school at Tipp City and, when he was 20, he went to work in Troy for the Hobart. Manufac- turing Co.,, one of the leading makers of food-handling equip- ment. Around the plant,. where he worked (at $4,800 a year) as a clerk in the export department, he was known as "Samson." "It was a joke and not a good - one," said a fellow worker one day last week. "He was 5-feet-7, and he weighed about 150. He had a high-pitched voice and a meek personality--a real Milque- toast. He used to bring his own 'lunch and eat it in the cafeteria. He had a driver's license -- I know because I saw it once -- but he didn't have a car and I never saw him drive. And he didn't have any girl friends or anything." The real measure of Tobias's character 'was in his home. He lived alone, without mother, sis- ter, kith or kin. Without a house- keeper, Yet his home would have housed an entire well-to-do fam- ily. A nine-room, two-and-a-half story frame structure, it was set on a knoll in the better residen- tlal section of Piqua (just out- side Troy) and it was immacu- late. The shrubbery around it was perfectly kept, the white ruffled curtains at the windows gleamed, and so did the interior wood- work. Almost never were there any visitors to the house; more often than not, when Tobias was at home, he would refuse to answer the telephone. If a neighbor came to the door, Tobias would open it a crack, say: "I'm too busy to talk to you" in his high-pitched voice, and close the door again. One day last month, Tobias did not show up for work. The company called his home. "I'm sick," Tobias said. When a com- pany official went to his house Still, The Hunters Call It Sport In the course of the season, not much goes on around this old farm that I don't know about. I sée the various wood- chucks sticking up their heads along the walls, the old foxes 'looking for mice in the or- chards, the long-legged heron who stands on one foot in the mud, and all the rest. I see the evidence of "Ol' Slippery" foot-prints of a buck deer slic- ing into the soft ground of the garden. He, with his two ladies ° and their two fawns, has clean- ed the tops off my beets. This year he likes beets, but last year it was broccoli and carrots. She sporting gentry of thesa parts call him 'Ol Slippery be- cause they have missed him so many times. I have never really seen him, but have many times caught just the flash of his rump and single as he fades into nothingness and the bushes. He is huge and no doubt carries stately antlers, for his hoof is as broad as my palm. I always keep a running cen- sus of the pa'tridge These are ruffed grouse. One of the coziest signs of spring is to hear a papa va-tridge drumming. He sits on a stump near his wife's incuba- tion site, and anon will thump himself with his wings. It sounds Jike a distant jungle code. I rever go near the nests, for that might disrupt the schedule, but TI have often sneaked close enough to watch Daddy thump himself. I have wondered why some gifted composer who could do "Afternoon of a Fawn" and "Forenoon of a Gopher," and things like that, hasn't used the drumming of a pa'tridge as the theme or motif of a symphony. He could depict tha rebirth of the vernal forest, with tinkly jingling for the bursting of buds and the harp making like water on the sidehill. There could be deeper sounds fér the wind in the lofty pines, and perhaps he could do something -with a banjo to make maple sap dripping in the buckets. I don't know about such things, but I do know I never heard any concert a tenth so wonderful as the real music of the spring woods themselves, with a bull pa-tridge thumping away at his idleness. But with all this. awareness of my co-holders of property, I am never prepared for-the sudden arrival on the scene, the last week in September, of the ring- necked pheasants. There are no ring-necked pheasants around. at all, and then suddenly one rich morning I am surrounded by ring-necked pheasants. I discover 'them with mixed feelings, mostly sad, for the ring-necked pheasant is a lovely creature, but he is also a pest, He has had the dubiolis honor of being "legislated" into a game bird, and he is sticking his nog- to check up, he found that a note had been pinned to the door: "Have gone to the doctor." Tobias had gone, but not to the doctor; and he never came back. oC When police broke into his home, they found the key to Tobias's life, the thing that gave it meaning: An estimated $300,- 000 worth of superb antiques. There was a magnificent set of old music boxes, a collectten of*, the finest china, a Queen :&nne: cupboard worth $500, a; $350," Pennsylvania Dutch dresser. And the Hobart company said ": it found why Tobias vanished: A shortage of $375,000 in its ac- counts, . A warrant was issued for To- bias's arrest. What he had done, the day he said he was "sick," was to cash a check for $26 -- overdrawing his account -- and to go to the railroad station. And then, like 'the pebble cast into the ocean, Tobias had com- pletely disappeared.

A \ .-have so gin~out of Ty weeds and millet | for one fated purpose -- to have it shot off by the stalwart hun- ters who will extinct him forth- with. He has been produced sole- ly for destruction, and as reg- ularly as he appears the last week In September, so will he disappear the first week in Octo- ber. It is the law of the land. He does not nest as the partridge - does, in the wilds where he may grow up with cautious habits and stand some chance of surviving. He doesn't have a woodwise mummy to teach him to dodge and duck and keep out of sight. He has no wild instincts. = Instead, his mother is an in- cubator on a "game farm." He grows up at the patent water fountain and the feed hopper, He lives inside a fence ani everybody is friendly. Picnickers come all summer to look through the wire and admire him. Then one day he is caught up and thrust into a cage 'and put aboard a truck. He is carried to the: edge of my woods, cr somebody's woods, to be kicked out and converted on the spot to a wild creature. It's somewhat difficult to analyze this fairly, for the pheasant was a hen-pen pal of my youth, and we used to eat them. We hatched them, grew them, plucked them and made pies. We also raised Barred Rocks and White Leghorns. 1 used to exhibit them in the 4-H poultry show, and had blue rih- bons to tack on my grainroom wall. The ring-necked pheasant was merely another barnyard fowl. He is Asian in orjgin, and has been domesticated for a thousand years.
