Minnesota Truck Owners
Gain By Two New Laws
Class "X" Vehicles Defined and
Rate Is Cut-Reciprocity
Act Adopted.

Two bills of interest to automo-
bile owners, particularly truck
owners, have passed the Legislat-
ture One of these defines "T",
"X" and "Y" classifcations so
that the latter hereafter will in
clude only trucks and trailers
FUSED in the business of trans
porting goods for compensation as
common carriers over any public
highway in this state between
fixed termini or over regular
route" These trucks will contin-
ue to pay tax of 10 per cent of
the base value.
Class "T' trucks will continue
to pay a tax of "a per cent of the
base value, but the law is amend
ed so that they may carry all farm
products to market and any nee
essary farm supplies on the return
trip. The right to do this was not
clearly stated in the old law.
All trucks not coming under
the "T'' and "Y" classes will re-
quire "X" licenses, and the rate
on these is reduced from 5 to 3.4
per cent. The new law, however,
does not take effect until Jan. 1,
1928.
This law will end the confusion
which existed regarding "X" and
"Y" licenses but it will mean an
annual loss of income of a half
million dollars to the State High
way department.
The other law is the reciprocity
act for vehicles in Interstate traf-
fic. Under the old law any truck
or commercial passenger car cross
ing the state line had to be licensed
in two states. Under the new law
any person living in township
city or village within 25 miles of
the Minnesota line, may for 81 get
permit from the Secretary of
State which will allow him to OPP
crate his machine in any township,
city or village in Minnesota with
in rs miles of the border. The law
will apply only to states and coun-
tries extending similar privileges
to citizens of Minnesota.
This law does not change the
present exemption to visiting pas
senger cars not used for hire. Such
cars, if licensed in other states
may use the highways anywhere
| in Minnesota for ten days without
a permit and sixty days if they
get a visitors permit from the
Secretary of State.

A BOXING DUMMY.

You can slip on your boxing gloves
for q fast round or two whenever
you feel like it, with this padded box
ing dummy for a partner. 1t will
duck and swing about in very lively
fashioni and will catch you on the
chin on some of the rebounds if you
are not on your guard. 1t will take
you only q short time to set up this
boxing dummy in your home gym
or your room.
You will need two small grain sacks
of durable canvas, a flexible coil
spring about IL inches long. two
by-two board feet long, and two
bolts with rings, together with two
large screW-eyes for fastening the
dummy to the floor and ceiling Oh
rafter. Rip the bottom of one of the
sacks and stitch it to the top of the
other to form a canvas sack about
6 feet high, and tapering from a
thickness (when padded) of l foot at
the top to 18 inches at the base of the
sack. Rags, straw or excelsior is then
stuffed about the two-by-two shaft,
placed at the middle of the sack and
extending the length of the sack.
Drive bolts with rings at the top and
bottom of the two-by-two board, or
use large screw-eyes instead. and gath.

the top and bottom, fastening them
with stout cord and driving a nail

If you were riding through the
country and saw, instead of the usual
flocks of white sheep grazing in the
fields, large herds of reindeer with
their curved antlers, strolling about
quite tame and cOntented, you would
surely wonder at the sight. In Lap
land and Alaska. however, you would
not find it unusual, for the reindeer
are the sheep" of these countries.
They not only provide for them
selves all year round with very little
care, but they furnish food and cloth
ing for their owners. and so valuable
are they to the Laplanders that in
their country a mans wealth 1s esti-
mated by the size of his reindeer
flock.
In the Summer the herds wander
about in search of fresh shoots and
leaves of young trees and shrubs.
They are equally at home when climb
ing among the rocks of the mountains
or when grazing on the plains, for
they have broad flat hoofs with cleft
in the middle which they can contract
or spread out as they choose.
The reindeer gets ready for the long
Winter by growing a heavy coat Of
fur that is thicker and more closely
packed than that of any other animal.
His food in the Winter Is the reindeer
moss which he must dig for through
the snow. He probably likes the Win.

mer he is bothered by gadfiieS that

ROMAN WALL IN ENGLAND.

But they were not always at peace
in the country. Savage tribes came
down from the north periodically to
attack the Romans at more or less
regular intervals. And so, to keep
these hordes away and to protect the
settlements of the Romans to the
south, the invaders built two walls
from coast to coast. One of these was
built from the Firth Of Forth in Scot
land to the Firth of Clyde; the Sec
ond WALL further south, was over 20
miles long and extended from the
mouth of the River Tyne to the mouth
of the Solway.
The walls were guarded at regular
intervals by soldiers stationed in
forts and it served admirably as a
means of defense for many years. But
trouble in Italy forced the Romans
to leave and they left the two walls
they built so many years ago. The
ruins can still be seen winding over
hill and dale across England, mute
evidence of the civilization that existed
there nearly 1000 years ago.

Can Fish Drown?

You know, since you go swimming,
that you cannot remain long under
water. You must have air and you
must, therefore. come to the surface
at regular intervals to breathe it. But
how about those living things which
live continually under water? Can
they drown? In other words. must
they have air in order that they may
live?
All living things need air; that is,
they need the oxygen. which is part
of the air they all breathe. And if they
are for any reason deprived of it, they
will die. Fishes are no exception to
this rule. They must breathe air, even
though they do not breathe it as do
we.
All water. unless it has been boiled.
contains air; and the fishes get their
supply of it directly. The water flows
in a continuous stream through the
gill-slits just back of their eyes, and
as it does so, it's air goes directly to
the blood vessels in this part of the
fish's body.
But if fish are placed in water that
has previously been boiled so as to
exclude all the air dissolved in 1t,
they will die in a very short time.
This is one reason. too. why the
water in a fish-bowl should be
changed occasionally. Water that is
old loses some of it's oxygen and takes
on other gases that are apt to prove
decidedly unhealthy to the fishes that
live in it.

The head mistress rang for maid

to the rooms which had been assigned
to them. THE room for Miss Hol-
lingshead is on the third floor over
looking the court. the one for Miss
Davis on the second floor right wing,

Mrs. Hollingshead and the two girls

to make a favorable impression by

the soft grass, making the lime on

The girls were charmed with the
beauty of their new surroundings ana
eager to be off to see more of the
town itself. Mrs. Hollingshead made
arrangements to engage a man with
a small car-there were no taXlcabs-
to take Louise, Patricia and herself
on a sight seeing expedition. Though
the town had but one or two streets
which were passable, these were
enough to afford glimpses OF Old
houses set in lovely grounds Which
held a quaint charm. Out beyond the
town smooth roads wound off through

Brave Ben.

1t was the night Of the senior class
play. The little old "city opera house
with its capacity of 500 was crowded
to overflowing. People sat in the
aisles on chairs; a number even stood
in the back of the house.
Wouldn't it be terrible if there
was a fire." Miss Lean. the fussy little
principal of the high school, worried
Nobody could ever get out of here.
1t isn't safe to let so many people in.
II feel nervous. too," replied her
neighbor You know the old building
has been condemned for years. I'm
glad I'm not back under the balcony
It's just packed. What IL il should
come down."
"Oh, mercy! Don't suggest such a
horrible thing. l know / shan't be
able to enjoy the play. l just feel
that something dreadful is going to
happen"
Ben Flint, sitting in front of them
and listening to the conversation,
grunted with disgust. 1.-THE fussy
old thing. I'd like to see myself wor.
rying about anything but the play,
he thought. women aren't happy
unless they're scared about some
thing"
However, when the curtain went up
even Miss Lean forgot everything
else. 1t was a very good play. Every
one was tense with excitement when
suddenly the quiet was broken by
loud crash back under the balcony,
followed by several piercing screams
1.-The balcony is falling" some one
shouted. "Oh, Oh.'
A thin cloud rose up over the edge
of the balcony. Fire. Fire." the
frightened yell rang out. Help.
Help" In a second every one was
on his feet, pushing, screaming, yell
ling. trying to reach the door. There
was real danger Of stampede. The
audience was out Of its head with
fright.
Not the least frightened was Ben
Flint. He never knew how he did
it, but the first thing he knew he
had showed, and pushed his way
through the crowd to the exit. Pale
and trembling he stood painting on
crowd around him. He felt daZed and
queer. 1t was awful to be so fright
ened. 1t was like being homesick and
seasick and hit in the head all at
once.
The first thing he realized he felt
a hand on his arm. why, it's poor
little Ben Flint" said Miss Lean, her
voice full OF sympathy. Were you
frightened, Ben? I'm sorry. 1t was
only a little piece of plastering that
fell off the ceiling under the balcony"
She put her arm around his shoulder.
