SCIENTISTS MAKE
 BABY HURRICANE
Reproduce Wonders of Nature in
 Experiments

Washington. Aug. 26 R-Wind pressures and wind phenomena are now being studied by the bureau of standards by methods that involve the actual production of miniature hurricanes, and for purposes that touch upon problems in half dozen fields of human enterprise.
 Air pressure that can be produced by gales is being worked out to a definite gauge for the bridge and building constructor; while for the automobile industry the tests will determine how much power is required to move machine against a breeze. and for the aviator the ex- periments are aimed at determining the proper shapes and curvature of the wings to reduce air resistance, the stresses that materials must en- dure. and the effects that propellers may attain.
 Originally, the bureaus work started in wind tunnels, which are tubes of various lengths and sizes, through which air is blown in measured speed and quantity, while the devices and objects under test are held in the current. Attached , gauges show the pressure encoun- tered. Now the work has moved outside, and one of the experiments consisted of a smoke stack, 30 feet high and ten feet in diameter, erected on a laboratory roof. By specially improvised set of methods, the research men expect to measure actually the force of wind which the stack has to withstand during a period of it's exposure, and gather data of value to stack constructors generally.
 Complete models of buildings also have been erected for placing in the largest wind tunnel at the labora- tory. The preliminary work on such building models which are ex- actly to scale indicates that in a gale of such velocity to destroy the structure, the building would ex- plode outwards rather than collapse from exterior pressure, for reasons that are still obscure.
 Tn another test in the biggest of three wind tunnels, it has been de- termined that an automobile may require as much as 30 horsepower simply to push air aside, and re- markable obstruction to ship progress from wind also has been indicated.
 The gales the bureau uses are produced by specially designed bat teries of air propellers working under control and measureme ent Where close check of results Is be- inging made, wind is impregnated with smoke, so that it's impact and direction are visible. The wind tun- nels can produce gales up to 1SO miles per hour.

SELECTING POTATOES
FOR EXHIBIT AT FAIRS

R. C. Rose of the Extension Staff
at University Farm is sending out in
structions to boys and girls club
members of the state, as to the selec-
ton of potatoes for show exhibits
He says:
"Dig potatoes carefully to avoid
injuring them. If the potatoes are
not quite mature the skin will be very
tender and bruise easily. Immature
potatoes should be left lying on the
ground until they are thoroughly dry
before they are picked up, in order
to tougher the skin.
"When the potatoes have dried, Sc
lect medium large potatoes of good
type. Wrap each potato separately
in newspaper before you place them

GAVE $40 CHECKS IN PAYMENT
FOR SMALL PURCHASES; SIX
FIRMS OUT. MAN POSES AS
FARM HAND.

Posing as a farm hand from the
Springfield community and in each
case using the same tactics, check
forger, evidently a stranger in the
Sleepy Eye vicinity, worked his
scheme at Sleepy Eye during the
busiest hours Saturday evening and
as a result six firms are out approx
imately $4,000.
Making small purchases at each
place the man in each instance pre-
scented check made out on Spring
field bank to one Earl Hall and signed
by C. N. Schmidt. All the checks
were in the sum of twenty dollars
and each had a notation in one cor
ner "for Labor"
The mans appearance and clever
method fooled the merchants and led
them to believe that he was in good
faith. In several cases he made par
ticular mention of the fact that he
had been trading at their store regu-
larly and then asked for an exact
duplicate of the article he bought
there some time ago. Among the
firms who are out are three clothing
stores-Glotzbach's, Foster and Bert
rand and Donley and Koessler; Ad-
olph Jensen, The Community Service
Station and the East Side Garage.
The "slicker" also tried to work
half dozen or more business houses,
but was turned down by some and
others fortunately didn't have the
change. He tried all three jewelry
stores, making small purchases at
two only to be turned down when he
presented the check.
At the Community Service station
where he bought two pals of grease
the man even demanded receipt,
stating that the two pals of grease
were for friend and that he would
need a receipt in order to get his
money back. At still other places he
took the Harmony Queen votes and
went over the list of candidates to
vote for one.
Although officials over the country
have been notified no clue has been
established to date. The man was OF
average height and appeared to be
some twenty years Of age.-Sleepy

certain limitations, but the require
ments that trucks and pleasure cars
have two lighted headlamps at night
is definite and specific.
Many counties and municipalities
are enforcing this rule rigidly, still
there are scores of cars on the road
at night with only one light.
The rule requiring two lighted
headlamps at night is one that it is
dangerous to violate, even if there is
not traffic officer within hundred
miles. Failure to observe this rule
has led to many serious accidents.
Carry a spare bulb, or get new one
at the first corner.

The law requires every motor We
hicle using the highways at night to
have lighted headlights from one

hour before sunrise and at any other
time when there is not enough light
so a person can be seen 200 feet away.
Motor cycles, road rollers, road ma
chimes or farm tractors may have one
or two, but ordinary passenger cars
must have "two head lamps, no more
no less, at the front and at opposite
sides of the motor vehicle"

IN baskets. Select two Or three times
as many as are needed for exhibit,
so that you can go over them later
and pick out the very best.
Before the potatoes are sent to
the fair, unwrap and lay them on
table or bench and with an old shoe
brush or soft hairbrush gently brush
off all dry particles Of soil. This will
leave the potatoes with a dull finish
on the surface. Never wash show po-
tatoes or they will become shiny and
unfit for show.
