When they first appear, the
last week in September, they
are always bunched and look-
ing as if they wondered what
to do next. They wander off and
find some food — 'my sweet-
corn patch or my millet. They
clean up the last of my ever
bearer raspberries and ruin my
plum jam material. They go into
my duck louse and find the pel-
lets. They like apples, too, and
will sit in the tree and peck —
one peck to an apple. They will
walk across the dooryard and
come onto the porch to look in
the back door.
Then October dawns, and the
sky is rent with the artillery of

were familiar with paste many
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 „o 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
dry out and retain a cushiony ef-
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:
In the course of the season,
not much goes on around this
old farm that I don't know
about. I see 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. T see the
evidence of "OP 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 Ole/M-
ed the tops off my beets, This
year he likes beets, but last year
it was broccoli and carrots.
She sporting gentry of these
parts call him '01 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
arid 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
pa-tridge drumming. He sits on
a stump near his wife's incuba-
tion site, and anon will thump
himself with his wings, It sounds
like a distant jungle code. I
never go near the nests, for that
might disrupt the schedule, but
I have often sneaked elm
enough to watch Daddy thumr
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 the 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 for 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 dubious honor
of being "legislated" into a game ,
bird, and he is sticking his nog-
gin out of my weeds and millet
for one fated purpose — to have
it shot Of 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.
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
Casein, a powder that must
be mixed with water before
pse, 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-
hold uses where moisture and
heat are not problems,
Resorcinol, poWder, with a
separate liquid catalyst mixed
just before use. Absolutely
waterproof, for outdoor furni-
ture, boats; sporting equipment,
and for oily woods.
Rubber - base ettlheeives, the
gumniy mastics used for floor
tiles, linoleum, wall tiles, ply-
wood. Usually applied from large
tithes or by spreading with
trowel.
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 makes 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 prodticts 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); ma s tics
(from gums and tars), mucil-
ages (also from gums, but of a
less vicous nature), and cements
(synthetic oompounds, usually
of thin consistency);
Over :16 Centuries ago, wheri
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
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 Oily
and Troy, and in Miami ,county
he lived most of his life. H,e 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
dey 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-
tial 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
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.
• 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 collection of
the finest china, a Queen Anne
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,

London's Express wasn't talk-

Nor was The Daily Mail describ-
* lag Lewis Carroll's Alice in
Wonderland,
The Express's folksy (and
rhetorical) 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 School; 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 timer,
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,
After commenting on the "cat-
aract 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
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
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., so everything about= the
royal family is news in England.
And, in England, it sells papees:

Writer couldn't have dreamed up
tttly more angles than exist there

queenliness—gracious, kind and
beautiful, There are the two
lovely children; Charles and the
Princess Anne. There Is the sib,

A family like this is the stuff
that romances are written about
—and more papers sold on.
