                            In 1936, the "dog sack" was invented to keep cars clean while traveling with pets. This canvas bag attached to the outside of the car, allowing dogs to ride safely with an air hole for them to enjoy the breeze.

                                      How to Make a Compass

                                      1. Place a 90 cm stick on the ground and put a small rock where the tip of the shadow falls.
                                      2. Wait ten to fifteen minutes and place a second rock at the point where the tip of the shadow has also moved.
                                      3. Draw a line between the two points. This is an east-west line.
                                      4. Place the tip of your left foot on the first rock and the tip of your right foot on the second rock; now you will be facing north.

                                      🧐Anywhere on Earth, the first shadow mark is west, and the second is east.

                                        2. Wait ten to fifteen minutes and place a second rock at the point where the tip of the shadow has also moved.
                                        3. Draw a line between the two points. This is an east-west line.
                                        4. Place the tip of your left foot on the first rock and the tip of your right foot on the second rock; now you will be facing north.

                                        🧐Anywhere on Earth, the first shadow mark is west, and the second is east.
