The Motor vehicles Department

Mr.. Editor: In putting into enforce
ment the new motor vehicle law passed by
the 1921 session Of the general assembly
and especially the matter % registrations
under the new fee system with its compli-
Gated Formula, the department of motor
vehicles found itself confronted with a
difficult task. There are apparently many
features Of the new law the operation and
policy of enforcement of which are not
thoroughly understood by the public.
The department had an immense volume
of business around the first of the year
and handled it with the best possible dis
patch. Nan idea Of the increased volume of
business may be gained by a study of the
fact that the departments receipts from
January TO II amounted to 1886, 242.2s
as compared to ST Cos, SS499 for the cor
responding period fast year. Motor ve7li-
Gle owners, while paying more to register
their cars, directly benefit by the resultant
increased total as all receipts from this
source must by law be turned over to
the state Highway department for road
repairs and repdaceulents
Constructive Acriticism of the depart
mentis policy is always helpful, and the
department invites any one interested or
aggrieyed by the management of the de-
partment's business to communicate with
this office direct.

TO BRING OUT BEST POINTS
WHEN PREPARING VEGETABLES

In general, vegetables should be
cooked in small quantities ofIwater to
which salt. has been added in the proper
ton of about one teaspoon to a quart
of water Cabbage, onions. and other
strong favored kinds are sometimes ex-
ceptions to this rule and are cooked
either in large quantities Of water or
even in two or three waters so that
the favor will be nnilder. If the cooking
water is saved to flavor SOUPS or SAUCE
es ''-~e IS no loss of minerals.
AsAeh. lettuce and otter tender
Leaf Vegetables can be cooked with
out the addition of any water. They are
succulent enough themselves and have
enough water cIlnsins TO them after be-
ing washed so that they viii not stiel,
to the kettle If stirred carefully and
not placed over too hot a fire at first.
Some Of the delieately favored veg
etables may be cooked by what has been
called the "conservatior" methods Thsy
are cooked slowly and. gently in Just
enough water TO prevent them from
burning, and all this water is absorbed
during the process. This often is rec.
commended for Green peas. string beans
and young carrots.

The Balance Bump.


Did you never wonder how in the
world the expressn D. who carries out
your trunk perched upon his shoulders
manages to do it?
Yes, it is largely a matter of strength,
but not entirely. You realize this if you
happen to have as big muscles as the
expressman, and many of them would
not achieve much of a record in stratgh ut
tests of strength.
It is also a matter of practice. Natu-
Tally you need practice before you learn
just how to pick UP a heavy and awk-
ward weight and balance 1t neatly on
your shoulders, where it can be carried
with the minimum of effort. But it is
not even entirely matter of practice.
1t is largely due to an innate sense of
physical. material balance, an automatic
estimation of pressure and resistance on
the part of the muscles and the nerves
which connect them with the train, or
more properly on the part Of the muscles
and the nerves which connect them With
the brain, or more properly on the part
of that section of the brain to which the
nerves carry these messages
This section of the brain is the under
lying cause of what is known as the
bump Of balance. This bump is located
along the eyebrows over the inner -
ner of the eye.
1t affects not only the ability to han
die heavy weights. but the skill with
which lighter implements are handled.
The heavy-hitting baseball player has to
have it, also the skillful golfer, the ac-
robat and gymnast, the boxes. The up
holsterer needs it to WELD his hammer
to the best effect and the surgeon to do
skillful work with his scalpel.
