SendiM For Fallen
Meteor Nut Tjrlor
Fort Worth, Texas. (UP)-
Oscar Monnig, Jr., Fort
Worth’s amateur astronomer,
is looking for a meteor that
fell Aug. 8 somewhere in the
vicinity of Tyler.
Monnig said that he and
several other amateur astrono-
mers in North Texas noticed
the falling meteor about dusk
on that date. He said its direc-
tion was difficult to trace be-
cause it apparently was ex-
tinguished 30 or 35 miles
above the earth.
Because the meteor was "of
mo appreciable size” and was
’barely visible even before its
light disappeared high above
•the earth, Moonig hopes that
•someone will find part of the
-molten mass and donate it to a
local collection. Moonig and
several other amateurs in this
■section have gathered meteor-
ites for several yearn. The
jprize of their joint collection is
4 67-pound specimen found
kiear Knoxville, Tenn.

eration with the U. S. Bureau

tanged from 20 to 40 cents
per farm.

writes for magazines on astro-
nomy, said that from July 25
to Aug. 20 is the best time of
the year to see meteors. Dur-
ing the annual “shower” of
perseid meterorites, when the
group becomes visible to earth
dwellers, it is possible to see
“about one good meteroite and
two or three faded ones” in an
evening, he said.
Texas Woman Helps
Run Down Criminals
Lelia Lake, Texas. (UP)—
From now on, Mrs. John How-
ard will be acting in an official
capacity when she starts out to
run down criminals. She is
now a deputy sheriff.
When Mrs. Howard and her
husband and their son, Lon,
moved here, robberies were
frequent. So the Howards de-
cided to do something about it.
They rigged up an alarm sys-
tem to spread the word when
there was a crime. They oiled
their guns and got ready to
fight.
Since then seventeen at-
tempts at burglary and rob-
bery have been made in Lelia
Lake. Fourteen criminals have
been captured with the heip of
Mrs. Howard. Only three have
committed crimes and got
away, and two of those were
wounded in a gun battle with
Lon and his father.
In recognition of Mrs. How-
ard’s work. Sheriff Guy Pierce
made her a deputy. In present-
ing her a badge, he recalled
how she broke up an attempt-
ed robbeiy of the poatoffice in
1930, then directed officers in
a running gun fight with two
would-be robbers. The robbers
were captured and convicted,
and Mrs. Howard was reward-
ed by the federal government.

OU Well “Christmas
Trees;” Supposed Origin
Houston, Tex. (UP)—Lee
Koen of Houston is the latest
expert called in an attempt to
settle finally the long dispute
as to how oil well Christmas
trees got their name.
“They are called "Christ-
mas trees because you have
everything on them,” Koen de-
clares. Koen, an oil well sup-
ply dealer, has been engaged
in selling Christmas trees for
many years.
“I stick to that solution in-
stead of the contention that
they were named so because
operators, overjoyed at seeing
a well flow so that they need-
ed the mechanical controls, al-
ways said they felt like they
were getting something off a
Christmas tree,” Koen said.
Christmas trees are tree-
shaped arrangements of metal
valves, each of which may be
capped individually of the
rest, which are placed over the
high pressure wells. The valves
are opened or shut according to
pressure and the flow desired.
"I think the name Christmas
tree originated in Mexico about
1914 when they were bringing
in the first high pressure wells
known to the industry,” Koen
continued.
"When the wells were com-

pletely fitted up to control the
pressure, the men called them
‘harnessed’ and said they
locked like Christmas trees be-
cause everything was on them.
“That name became widely
used, and today it is the ac-
cepted title for the metal con-
trols."
Fort Worth. (UP)—Traffic
law violators begin under a
handicap if they try to argue
heatedly with Patrolman Fred
Holland, for Holland is able to
record their statements in
shorthand in his notebook.
Holland recently accused a
truck driver of a parking vio-
lation. The driver retorted
that it was a “blanktey-blank
shame” and told Holland- to go
to tell the “so-and-eo judge”
that he would appeal any
charges. -Holland transcribed
the notes for the judge, who
issued a warrant for the truck
driver i arrest.
