He was just a coal miner, big and husky. But that was before October 16, 1936, when his back was broken in a mine accident. He was given only two days to live and that was almost five years ago. Now trom his bed hi St. Margaret's hospital here, ha tul-ns out trim little ship models; first, because his little' tan, John Anthony, •wanted a boat. Now, to satisfy an ever-increasing commercial demand for the replica liners, battleships and cruisers he fashions from his bedside drydock. Petitti was injured when he was thrown from a cage at the bottom of the Union Coal company mine in Peru as the carrier suddenly start ed upward as he vas crossing it to " reach his lunch basket. Despite the statements of physicians, Petitti is hopeful, as he takes his ill-fortune with a smile, that some day he will again be able to walk. "I guess it just had to happen," he says philosophically. "While others walked across the cage at the bottom even after the warning bell had sounded and had nothing happen to them, I did it once, and here 1 am. I was on my way to get some grapes from my dinner bucket. I apt the grapes all right--but they were sour ones!" It was only about a year ago that Petitti turned to making ship models, in response to a suggestion from his son, now five. The boy had several toy boats, but he want ed one that would look and float like a real1 one. Petitti had never made a ship model before, although he had always been handy at jobs around his house.

(Gas) FREUND, Owner Goat-Like Deer Found In Flock Amazes Farmer BAKERSFIELD, CALIF.-In the interest of science, and incidentally to satisfy his own curiosity, Ben Perea, a farmer, is e^gfr to have a naturalist study the strange, hybrid animal that wandered home recent ly from a mountain-grazing range with his flock of goats. The animal has the ears and movements of a deer, the hairless hide of a Chihuahua dog and othei characteristics that may be traced to its mother, a goat, according to Perea. "When I first saw it I was struck by the fact that it was hairless ex cept for a very fine fuzz," he said "Then when I attempted to exam ine it at close range it bounded away with the high, even jumps of a deer "Later I noticed that its ears were shaped like those of a deer and that it shifted them for sound as a deer does. I wondered if it might be a cross between a deer and a i goat. Perhaps some of the natural' ists might be interested in studying it. "It certainly has me puzzled," he declared.
