II have been looking at a
picture of pendulum sos
pended from the top OF a pit
100 feet deep, and said to prove
by the revolution of the bob
around a circular card at the
bottom Of the pit, that the
earth rotates on its axis. The
experiment is said to be per-
formed at the University of
Iowa, but there is absolutely
no enlightment about the way
it acts. Won't you kindly let

WHAT you refer to is a repe-
w tition OF the famous ''Fou-
cault Pendulum Experiment" first
exhibited by it's inventor under
the dome Of the Pantheon at Paris
in 1851, and for which, as a graphic
demonstration of the earth's ro-
tation. Foucault received the Cop
ley medal of the English Royal So
ciety.
The essential apparatus for this
most interesting and remarkable
experiment, which always excites
enthusiastic interest IN n &
thoughtful spectators, is a heavy
ball pendulum suspended by a
long wire in such a way that it
is free to swing without restraint
in any plane in which it is
started. 1t should be protected
against air currents and other
sources of disturbance. Such a
pendulum once set going will con-
~tinue to swing in the same plane
hour after hour without regard to
the motion Of the earth.

Would Jail All Drunken
Drivers of Automobiles
Gov. Christianson Outlines Con-
EJstructive Legislation to Make
W Highway Travel Safe

In addressing the conference
called at St. Paul recently the
purpose of considering new leg
islation which would regulate mo-
tor traffic on the public highways
safer for all, Governor Christian
son demanded a law which would
make jail sentences compulsory
for drunken drivers, in addition to
the revocation of their licenses.
Two hundred delegates attend
ed the conference, these being
sheriffs, county attorneys, may
ors, and police chiefs.
The high points of Governor
Christianson's address were:
1. Suggestion, "that the law be
strengthened by making possible
the revocation of automobile Ii
censes because of reckless driving,
as well as drunken driving and
that sentences sending the drivers
to jail be made compulsory"
2. Declaration, "that greater
need is for uniformity in law and
regulations covering motor We
hicles on highways; uniformity in
state, but more important, uni
formity among the various COM
munities in the state. !"
8. Recommendation, that there

bending every energy to keep the
main arteries of travel open. Mon
day morning two plows started in
opposite directions east and south
from St. Cloud to clear the
same road. One pillow reached the

pushed through to Milaca, thence
to Elk River and back to st. Cloud.
Another started down the pave

Another pillow started out for

Deadly Monoxide Gas is
Fatal to Man on Highway
Another Overcome Under Car in
Snowbank-Check up Heaters
Connected with Exhaust

Small garages are not the only
places where carbon monoxide,
from the automobile exhaust, gets
in its deadly work. Recently a
Sandstone man and his two hunt
ing dogs were found dead in a
closed car on the roadside. APP
pearances indicated that his radi-
attor had been frozen, that he had
got out to put a blanket over it
and had gone back in the car,
with the engine running, to sit and
wait until the radiator thawed out.
The wind was in such a direction
that it drove the poison gas up
through the floor boards and caus-
ed death in a short time.
The Baudette Region tells of
another man who was overcome
while in the rear of his car trying
to push it out of a snow drift near
his home. Companions carried
him to his house and summoned
medical aid. After several hours
he was revived and is slowly re-
covering, but if he had been alone,
there might have been sadder
story.
Persons riding in trucks with
closed bodies are frequently over
come by carbon monoXide. To re-
main in a small garage with the
engine going and the doors closed
is almost certain death. No mat
ter how cold it may be, the only
safe way is to see that you have
some circulation of air, whether
you are in your garage, or in a
car.
Another suggestion: Check up
your heater, if you have one. A
leak from the exhaust into the
heater may be serious, but prop
erly constructed heater which
causes a circulation of pure warm
air, should lessen the danger.

be more regulated and impartial
enforcement of the law and that
there be no change in existing sit
uations.
a. Urges, 'fthat newspapers give
pitiless publicity to violators of
auto traffic regulations. !"
The governor expressed in firm
terms his opposition to exanina-
ton and licensing of individual
drivers; establishment of any new
state department to carry out the
law and expressed opposition to
compulsory insurance. Regarding
insurance" he said, she believed
this would serve only to create
more reckessness among those who
are inclined to drive recklessly /;
BESIDES" he said, ''such legislation
undoubtedly would mean a con-
siderable increase in insurance
rates.
The governor warned against
putting too much faith and import
ance on the adequancy of Stats
tics, asserting, "that you now have
enough information; what is need
ed now is not information, but
more action"
Despite the governors recon-
mendations, the conference voted
unanimously for a drivers license,
and a state highway traffic pa
troll. w. F. Rosewood, repre-
senting the Highway Department,
asked that the department be CIV
en- authority to appoint 100 ira
fife officers whose duties will be
to enforce traffic laws on the trunk
highways.
1t was also resolved that per-
manent committee of fifteen men,
bers be appointed as a NUCLEUS of

Minneapolis, was chosen perman-
ent chairman, and he will ap-
point the committee members.

HOW TO co MARKETING
How to Plan the Home Budget-New Recipes
and Household Hints-at Kennebec Journal
Free Cooking School.

, that you may bring along 1t IS the
actual practical experience of Mrs.
Cross as q good home cook that en-
ableS her to pass on the many little
tried and not found wanting hints
that she delights in giving those
who seek them.
The garnishment of dishes is an
other diverting few moments of the
sessions. You have, of course, no
ticed the methods of serving certain
dishes and foods in the more notable
restaurants or in the diners of de
luxe railway trains. Mrs. Cross will
chat with YOU on how to decorate
your table for that special luncheon
dearest friend or college chum".
You will find these few moments
listening to Mrs. Cross very inter
eSting.
Here is a suggestion for the gen
eral layout of your week while the
Kennebec Journal Free Cooking
School is held next week. First, so
arrange your shopping that you
can wind up your day at the school
sessions. Notify all your trades
people that you are going to be at
the Cooking School each afternoon,
and, if they call on you for their
orders, they must be around early
each day. In fixing your daily en-
gagements with your various trades
people in this way YOU will find that
you have completely disarmed the
one question: What am 1 going to
do with this one and that one"
They will all cooperate with you
and gladly so. You just try it and
see how miraculously it works.
After the first session YOU will
become such a Cooking School fan
that you will be telling all your
| neighbors about it and be eXclaim-
ing lots of nice things about Mrs.
| Cross. Why do you know in one
city visited q townswoman had pur-
| chased a breed of baby chicks and
when she found that she could not
get them home without missing the
school session she just brought them
along. Yes! they behaved in their
! best manner. So you see from this.
| that your bundles or anything else
with which You may be encumbered
will be no excuse for not being on
| hand to attend every session.
Don't forget the dates. the time of
each afternoon session and the place.
You can get all detail information

l nal Offices or telephoning

the art of cooking, and all that goes
into the kitchen of the American
| home.
Mrs. Cross popularity no doubt is
due partially because of her pro-
found technical knowledge, but her
sympathetic understanding of wo-
! mans need Is her natural gift. For
| this one thing alone it can be said

| proved her right to the rank of peer
| in her particular line.
There will be a series of varied
demonstrations of how to prepare
| foods by Mrs. Cross. She has recipes
| for the every day meals and wonder
full recipes for the guests meals.
She knows the right ways and the
| wrong ways to do things. She will
show all of them bv practical
demonstrations. The roasting of
meats, the frying of them will all be
| explained. The secret of how fried
foods may be rendered digestible by
careful handling and skill in prep
aration will be divulged. The body
/ building quantities OF foods Will be
pointed out to you.
Mrs. Cross has many clever sur
prises and ideas for you. Among
| the interesting chats of the sessions
will be those on how to market in
order to obtain the very best results
and at the least possible cost of
time and money. The pantry shelf
and the ice box larder are the store
houses Of health and happiness in
the home and if it is not managed in
just the right way disaster may be
the result. Let Mrs. Cross help you
adjust this little problem. Let her
! tell you how she manages.
Did You ever stop to consider the
| important part bread PLAYS in a
meal? Do you know how to balance
a meal properly with the different
kinds of foods? And do you know
how to make a really good cup of
coffee? Do you know how to buy
and prepare the cheaper cuts OF
meat as well as the more costly?
| Mrs. Cross advanced training in
dietetics and home economics has
prepared her answers to those ques-
tons and will give you much en-
| lightment on not only such questions
