Use Brakes Before
Not On-CurUes
Is Safety Tip

Don't use your brakes on curves
brake your car before you are on the
curve and once making the swing &C
celerate your car. That is the safe
way.
So counselS w. F. RoSenwald traffic
engineer of the state highway depart
ment.
When brakes are applied on curves
themselves, the safety chief said, all
traction is between the tires and the
road surface and none is left to coun-
teract the terrific centrifugal force and
a car has a tendency to skid When
power is applied when rounding curve,
part of the driving force of the rear
wheels forces the car toward the in
side of the curve, centrifugal force is
opposed and the danger of skidding
leSSened.
The safe way then, Mr.. Rosenwald
points out, Is to brake in advance of
the curve when the speed of your
vehicle is great, then proceed around
the curve with reasonable amount of
accelerated power.

Highway Joins War
On Mdrijudna Weed.

Maintenance men and officers of the
state highway department highway pa
troll will have a new duty this fall and
in 1938-they will be constantly on the
lookout for patches of the dread mari
juana weed along the roadside
N. w. Elsberg, state highway COM
missioner, has pledged his assistance
and that of his department, in the
statewide drive to rid Minnesota of the
drug which when smoked drives per-
sons to criminal and maniacal acts.
Commissioner Elsberg will instruct his
men in the appearance of the weed
and how to recognize it on highway
property or adjoining fields. The weed,
source of hashish, grows lushly in Min
nesota soil and evidence of it have
been found along roads in the state.
When found on highway property it
will be destroyed, the highway chief
declared.
Narcotic authorities and civic groups
feel that the enlistment of the high
way departments services will form the
nucleus for statewide coverage next
spring. Highway departments in other
states are likewise cooperating, accord
ing to federal narcotic authorities.

Youth is reckless, youth is care-free,

A ball suddenly rolls out into the

pen. His one ambition is to get that
ball and get it back into the playing
field before the runner can advance
too far. The man driving an automo-

possibilities, and wherever children are
playing in lots, school yards, or else
where, care should be taken while pass

Use of Motors For
Duck Quest Defined

1t is illegal to use an ordinary row.
boat when hunting wild ducks or other
migratory waterfowl if a motor is in
the boat even though it may be removed
from actual possible operation.
To clarity any misunderstanding that
may arise in the taking of waterfowl
from an ordinary rowboat when the
motor is detached from the boat, Harry
E. SpeakeS, director of the division of
Game and Fish, requested an opinion
from william S. Erwin, MinneSota'S at
torney general.
1T is quite clear that in the event the
motor is placed on shore before shoot
ing takes place, that it would not be a
violation" Almond D. Brattland, special
attorney general assigned to the De-
partment of Conservation, stated. "But
the use of a motor when travelling from
one part of the lake to another might
constitute a violation as the law in
defining 'the taking of wild game" in
cludes pursuing" together with "dis-
turbing, marrying or worrying" birds OF
quadrupeds."
Director Speakes stated it is legal tc
take waterfowl from a boat or canoe
propelled by paddle, oar or pole. Mr.
Brattland in his opinion stated that
having motor in the boat which was
designed to be attached and used in
connection with that particular boat
would constitute the entire assembly
a power boat" The law specifically
prohibits taking of waterfowl by use
of a power boat.
Waterfowl may be taken during the
open season from any place on lano
from stationary or permanent artifi-
cial blind used to conceal the hunter
when such blinds are located within q
natural growth of weeds, ruSheS, flags
or other vegetation sufficient to par
TALLY conceal the hunter. Waterfowl
cannot be taken legally from a perman-
ent artificial blind placed anywhere in
public waters.
Canoes and boats used in duck hunt
ing must also be located within a ma
tural growth of woods or other vegeta-
ton which would at least partially con-
ceal the hunter. Shooting ducks or
open water, except the retrieving OF
wounded birds, taboo. Sink boxes built
in public waters are outlawed.
1T is our purpose" Mr.. Speakes said
ito give our migratory waterfowl every
protection as intended by the legiSla.

War Blame

Modern science is a benefactor
Of mankind and can not be
blamed for the horrors Of wars
DR.. Robert A. Millikan, Nobel
prize winner and director of the
California Institute of Techno-
logy, declared last night before
the Town Hall of washington.
Praising scientific progress, DR..
Millikan said that increases in the
standard Of living in this country
can be traced directly to science
and the spread of the machine.
Scientific advances in the de-
velopment of implements Of war,
he contended, are creating a dread
and fear of conflict. He empha-
sized that science has been active
in alievating some of the agonieS
of war and pointed to the develop
ment Of anaesthetics.
Modern wars, he held, cannot
compare in brutality to ancient
conflicts in which entire races
were annihilated.
Arguing for continued encour-
agement of scientific progress, DR..
Millikan said:
IF everyone can be given the
scientific viewpoint, the foun-
dation can be laid for banishing
the emotionalists and crack pots
from their present positions of
responsibility in our political and
economic life"
