The new law having for it's object
the suppression of the automobile steal.
ing industry cuts both ways. Any per.
son desiring to sell second hand auto
must furnish a certificate of ownership
from the same source where registra.,
tion Of the car was made and any per.
son buying car without such require
ment becomes as much q criminal as
the one selling it without such restric.
tionS. It is also made q crime to in any
way deface a car or to remove the en-.
Sine number in order that the disguise
may aid in the sale of stolen cars. A
five year. penitentiary sentence Is pro.
vided., The gist of the law is in section
20 which, says: 1t shall be unlawful
for any person, firm, association or cor
poration to buy any second hand or
used automobile, or motor vehicle with.
out requiring and receiving from the
vendor thereof, a certificate of regis.
tration and transfer from the officer

motor vehicles in the state in which said
motor vehicle is registered or licensed,

In the raid on unlawful vendors in
the state under recent law sheriffs
from any county are subject to call by
the governor or attorney general. In
the recent raids on drug stores and the
like in Waterloo sheriffs from twenty
different counties were summoned into
action. Over 25 places We're raided and
great quantities of liquor seized. The
assistance of state agents in Waterloo
was made necessary on account of the
laxity of law enforcement on the part
of the mayor and chief of police who
have recently resigned.
The United States bureau of fisheries
with a station at Bellevue, Jackson

them back in the river. When this
work was started in the late nineties
less than million fish year were
rescued. During the past season 147,-

Mrs. Dominick Gallagher, residing
near Bevington. Madison county, lost
her farm residence by fire. Along with
other valuables three hundred dollars
worth of U. S. savings stamps were
consumed. When she purchased the
stamps she had them registered by the
postmaster in Winterset as made and
provided by law. Upon reporting the
loss of the stamps by fire the treasury
department at Washington promptly is
sued new stamps to make good the loss.
Having in mind her previous experience
from fire the new stamps were placed
in a safety box in the vault of the bank
at Bevington and when burglars broke
into the bank a few weeks ago and by
means of an oxygen torch opened the
safety boxes all of her valuables We're
taken, including not only the stamps
but numerous sale notes. These stamps
being registered are not negotiable and
therefore the bank robbers cannot cash
them. The loss has been reported to
the post Office department and in due
time either the cash or money will be
returned to her.

An election is called for at jefferson,

ing the people to vote on the question
of building a $4,000 Victory memorial
building. which will be available for all
municipal purposes A petition signed
by more than 400 residents of Jefferson
was presented to the city council ask
ing that the election be called. Under
the law passed last winter by the legis-
lature. much more liberal treatment is
provided for a Liberty memorial build
ing than is possible for a city hall. For
instance Liberty memorial bonds may
run fifty years. while city hall bonds
may run only twenty years. Thus the
Liberty building may be built and car
ried at a very small tax. And in addi-
ton the city Council may %zceive gifts
and donations from indjs duals or So
cieties for the Liberty memorial build
ing and thus reduce expense to the
city.

ability. The birds were set free one at
a time and the fellow who killed the
largest number out of a possible hun

not count for much. The late Major
Lacey had Il sportsman arrested in Os-
kaloosa years ago for smoking out and

had taken possession of a tall brick
chimney at a deserted woolen MILL the

September set a new record for
rainfall with almost $50 per cent
above normal, the wettest Septem-
Der ever known here, unless it were
September, 1893, for which no rec
ords are available. But the records
of the University of Idaho covering
period of 10 years, show no Sep
TENDER nearly as wet as September
1920. The average precipitation for
September for the past 13 years was
1O4 inches. The precipitation for
September, 1920, was 252 inches.
October is starting off as if it in
tends to pass the September record,
as the precipitation in the first five
days of October was 81 of an inch,
new record for that period of Octo-
Der. The agricultural college of the
University of Idaho observes the
weather for the federal government

LIVES SIX DAYS
IN CLASS CASE
British Scientist Makes Daring
Experiment in Interest
of Aviation.
WAS THEORETICALLY SEALED
Question involved Was Would 1t Be
Possible to Calculate Quantity of
Oxygen Necessary to Airmen
at High Attitudes.

| LOnd0n.-Six days sealed up in q
| glass case is a daring experiment bear
ing on aviation which has just been
carried out by a middle-aged British
university professor, Joseph Bancroft,
II. r. s., reader in physiology at Cam
bridge university. The question in
volved was whether it would be pos
sible to calculate the quantity of oxy-
gen necessary TO an airman at high al
titudes.
The case in which Mr. Bancroft was
shut up for six days was specially
erected in quiet room in the physiO-
logical laboratory. 1t was about seven
feet high and about ten feet broad.
The floor, walls and roof were made
of glass, Theoretically sealed and d.
yided into two compartments-one
fitted with lounge chair and table
and the other with a simple bed.
Took Regular Exercise.
AT the foot of the bed was q pedal
ing apparatus consisting of frame of
a bicycle from which the front wheel
had been removed, and small back
wheel with frame attached, to enable
Mr.. Bancroft to get some exercise and
cause certain amount of work to be
done
During his six days in this case
relating to the experiments, ia taking
exercise on the bicycle and in sleep
ing. He was kept under observation
day and night to insure his personal
safety, college students and others TAX
ing their turn to keep watch.
Nitrogen was continually introduced
into the chamber and the air became
gradually rarer in oxygen until it ap-
proximated that at an altitude of 49,
900 feet when Mr. Bancroft, who has
had experience in mountaineering, ex-
perienced considerable inconvenience
from sickness and sleeplessness, and
also an indisposition to take any food.
Felt Rather Shaken.
At the close of the experiment some |
blood was taken from Mr.. Barcroft's |
arm. The oxygen the blood contained |
was separated and it was found to |
agree with the expectations Of the ex-
pertinent.
III. Bancroft confesses to having felt |
rather shaken up after his release from |
the glass case but did not look much |
the worse for the experience.
The experiment is regarded here as
thoroughly successful and scientific |
report of it will be laid before the
next meeting of the British associa
ton, where Mr.. Bancroft will be presi-
lent Of the physiological section.
