Mandam Indian* Mandan Indians who lived In earthlodges and farmed for their living reached the locality of Pierre, S. D., before 1200 A. D. These and other farming tribes, well organized for defense, drove out the roving buffalo hunting Indians, says tt)e Kansas City Star's Science Service. , This Indian farming cycle ended about 1862. The nomad plains tribes found that, with horses, guns and knives, they were more than a match for the once-feared villagers. When oontaglous diseases swept the villages, the conquest was complete, and only a few miles of the river were left to the earthlodge tribes. * Pip** in Churcb One of the little-known sights of London is a briar pipe factory which was once a chapel, of the "Strictly Particular Baptist!."

"ALICE ADAMS" PLEASES "Alice Adams," stands at the top of the picture thermometer with a 95 degree rating, surpassing all other pictures by several degrees. Here is what is called the perfect performance surpassing her "Morning Glory," which won the Academy prize two years ago. Booth Tarkington's Alice was rather a dull, stupid girl, but Hepburn makes Alice a sensitive, imaginative girl, who is always striking a divinely, amusing attitude. George Stevens, the director, deserves credit for the way in which he directed the entire picture. In this picture, also, Fred Stone makes his picture^ debut and is perfection itself as Alice's father.

THIS ' Coanter Exc*m Some people are Influenced by a peculiar form of pugnacity which la often miscalled "love of Justice," but Is really a habit of Irritation at excess which finds vent not in Justice but in counter excess. No. 1--CURVES AND TURNS No MATTER how expert we may be as drivers, we are all apt to fall into habits of driving that don't quite measure up to what we really know is right. For instance, we all know that we ought to be careful about passing cars, especially when another car is approaching from the opposite direction. - ^ a And yet there possibly isn't one of us who hasn't, at one time or another, moved over in the road to pass a car, and then wondered fit we would get around in time. Now here's an interesting thing about that. When we try to pass a car that's going forty miles an hour, it's just the same as if we tried to pass a standing string of cars 120 feet long. In other words, it's like passing eight cars parked bumperto- bumper in the road. If we try to pass one going sixty, it's like trying to pass a line of more than sixteen cars standing in the road, and sixteen cars in a row will reach half a block. This is probably a new idea to most of us. If we kept it in mind, we would never pass a car Unless we were sure that there were no oncoming cars for a good long distance ahead. But turning aside to pass is not the particular kind of turning that we are interested in discussing here. What we are now concerned with is taking curves and corners. From time to time in these discussions we will find that the same old laws of Nature will be involved. Foremost among them wiU be the laws of momentum, and momentum plays the major part in going around curves. Because momentum not only wants to keep us going, but going in the same direction. When it is ~tfying to make us go straight instead of curving our course, it operates under an assumed name, if you please. For then we call It "centrifugal force." Now of course we all know what centrifugal force Is. We feel it when we go around curves. Highways and railroads are banked at curves to offset centrifugal force. Aviators bank their planes at turns by tipping them with the controls. But even though we all know about centrifugal^ force, few of us realize how powerful it is, and how much greater it gets the Custer we go. A 3000-pound car making a turn of 500-foot radius, has to overcome a centrifugal force of only about 156 pounds at 20 miles an hour. But at SO miles an hour, that force has grown to 360 pounds, and at 60 it is nine times as great as at 20 ... over fourteen hundred pounds trying its best to push us off the road! The only thing that keeps us on the road in the first place is the friction between our, tires and the road. The minute the centrifugal force gets stronger than the force of that friction, off the road we go. The trouble is that we often don't realize how fast we're going. On road trips, for instance, after we have driven at a certain speed for a long time, it seems a small matter to increase our speed a few' miles an hour. Then after a while we may do the same thing again. In other words, we keep putting forward our basis of comparison till by-and-by w# have lost our usifal sense of how fast we are goings Then, the first thing we know, we are face-to-face With a turn or even half way around ft and We feel Old Man. Centrifugal |Porce trying to push us off the road. j So what do we do? We clamp down the brakes. It's the only thing we can do when we find we're going too fast. But just the same, approaching "that corner too fast has kept us from taking it as we should have liked to. For if conditions permit, it is often desirable to increase speed as we go around a curve. As long as our rear wheels are not being retarded, but are actually pushing us around the curve, our steering is effective and our car / b under control. ( The long and short of it is that we can't take liberties with the laws of • momentum and centrifugal force. Man's speed laws may not always be ^Observed, but Nature's speed laws always are!
