A Seasick Machine.

THE old mystery OF the cause OF
seasickness may be solved by an
ingenious machine built by a French
scientist to analyZe the causes OF TINS
ancient malady. The apparatus is In

bits, chickens, guinea pigs and pigeons
extremely seasick on dry land. The
creatures used in the test are con-
fined in cages at either end of the de-
vice. similar to the familiar see-saw.
An electrical device is used TO give
the cages exactly the same tossing
about they would receive on the deck
of the ship in violent sea. The
movement can be increased AZ viii.

and guinea pigs are very good sailors
and failed to show any sign OF sea
sickness after spending six hours in
this apparatus Dogs are much more
sensitive and at least a third of them

law relative to left and right turns is
as follows:

the left shall drive along the center
Of the roadway and slow down, and
shall extend his left arm in ia hori-
zontal position or give some other
adequate signal in such a manner as

other vehicles which will be abstruct-

Any operator intending to turn to the
right at an intersection shall drive to
the extreme Of the highway when
approaching the intersection but shall
not make a right turn when another
vehicle in the same detection is on
his right.
The method prescribed for making
left turn is considered by traffic ex-
perts safest and the one which causes
least obstruction to traffic. This rule

Minnesota has more miles of road,
in proportion to its registration OF
automobiles, than the average state,
but it did not keep pace with other
states in road construction in 1925,
according to an analysis of motor
vehicle registration and road building
made by the Engineering News Rec
ord. The analysis is based upon the
percentage of road mileage, new con-
struction, and automobile registra-
ton in each state compared to the
total for the United States.

Gle, had 2.8 per cent Of the motor

Ter. Many Minnesota motorists, how
ever, are not familiar with this rule,
and it is common practice to slow
down, go to the right of the street
into the slower moving traffic before
attempting left turn. This makes it
necessary to cut through the rapidly
moving traffic near the center of the
street, or wait until there is a gap !.
This is both dangerous and obstructs
traffic.
Minnesota motorists returning
from Chicago have informed C.. M.
Babcock that the police in Chicago
stop all machines with Minnesota tags
and ask the drivers if they know how
to make left turns. Those who know
the Minnesota law are questioned no
further, but others are given instruc-
lions in making left turns. A series
of accidents, caused by Minnesota
motorists doing the wrong thing
when making left turns, resulted in
the order to the police to give the
drivers pointers.

The President resumed his custom
of meeting and shaking hands with
those who wish to see him inn
mediately upon his return from his
yacation. Although it was not genA
orally known that the President
would take time to meet visitors he
shook hands with sixty-seven people

The second day.
Mr.. Coolidge enjoys these contacts
with the folks. He stands in the
center of his Office in front of his
desk. as the visitors file through in

when he recognizes an old friend
he greets him as such.

Holds Record

President Coolidge holds all White
House records for shaking hands
and meeting people. even though he
has Travelled around the country
less than his recent predecessors.
His biggest month was April 1926.
when he met 1900 people, accord
ing to records kept by White House
police and his biggest day, aside from
formal receptions, was a day in that
month when he greeted 1900 visitors.
On the occasion of the annual New
Years reception this year Mr.. and
Mrs. Coolidge greeted 3,257 well1
wishers. They stood in line forW
hours as the great and near-great
filed past. Mrs. Coolidge receives with
the President on all formal occa-
sions, but most of the more than
10000 people who have personally
greeted the President in the White
House failed to see MRS. Coolidge.
Those who succeeded in seeing the
President are vouched for Before
hand. They usually come armed
with a letter from a Senator or
Congressman, which is presented to
Chief Usher McKenna. After he
ckehs it, Chief Sergeant Dalrymple
of the White House police invites
the visitors to wait or return about
1890. A line is then formed and
the visitors are ushered into the
Presidents office with a minimum
of lost motion. The precautionary
measures adopted by the Secret
Service whenever the President trav-
els are not relaxed during these in
formal receptions. Alert, athletic
young men stand in vantage points
as the visitors file through. There
has been no untoward incidents in
connections with these receptions,
but the Secret Service vigilance is
never relaxed.
