THE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COLBORNE, ONT., FEBRUARY 24, 1944 Invaluable for COUGHS--COLDS BRONCHITIS SIMPLE SORE THROAT DON'T DELAY - BUY A BOTTLE TODAY! WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Automatic "Speed-Cop" An interesting keen developed to act as an automatic "speed cop" to enforce traffic regulations. A special indicator is mounted jnst above the instrument panel ■with a dial and a hand which tells >ow fast the car is moving. The indicator also .is equipped with lights. At normal cruising speeds, * white light shines on the dial face, but when the car's speed exceeds the city limit, the light changes to red. This might prove sufficient protection against speeding in populated sections if THE REEL STUFF East London fireman, taking tough Commando course at Chigwell, has his hands--and feet--full as he makes 40-foot crossing on tightrope, carrying four reels of hose. t the indicator constantly, and if they all would voluntarily ease up on their too-keavy throttle foot and reduce their speed to safe and proper limits as soon as the light flashed on. But because there seems to be acme drivers who don't know how fast they are going or don't care about where they do their speeding, a special automatic governor lias been devised. The invention is worked out ingeniously so that speeding on the Open highway, while it lights the red lamp on the speed indicator, does not otherwise interfere with the car's operation. But in build-up urban sections where there is likely to be heavy cross-traffic and possibly persons crossing or children playing in the streets, the device takes positive and active automatic steps to see to it that the car reduces speed. With the hand on the indicator beyond the city speed limit, a switch is closed making current available to a special relay. Then when the speeding auto passes over a magnetized rail laid in the highway, the magnetism closes the relay, thus actuating an electric device which automatically throttles down the motor, whether the. motorist takes his foot off the ac- To be generally effective, it would be necessary to imbed magnetized rails in all sections needing speed control, and to acquire every motorist to install the automatic governor in his car. Have You Heard! Half-way down the quiet inky black and narrow street Paddy was suddenly pounced upon by a burly individual, wearing a mask. Thrusting a revolver into the Irishman's ribs, he snapped out: "Come on! Money or yer life!" "Faith!" cried Paddy. "You can take my loife. Oi'm saving up all me money for me old age." Myrtle:. "John's, got. his Home Guard uniform now, and he's dying for a parachute jumper to come along." Phyllis: "Well, why don't you knit him one?" the idiosyncrasies of March. "What is it," she asked, "that comes in like a liori and goes out like a lamb?" And little Julia in the back row replied: "Father." "So you're a young man with both feet on the ground, eh? What do you do for a living?" "I take orders from a man with both feet on the desk." The lady was complaining about the egg shortage to her grocer. "And," she went on, "last week one egg you sent me was bad. I demand that you make it good!" "Lady," said he, "I'm a grocer, not a magician!" He--"Woman is nothing but a rag, a bone, and a hank of She--"Man is nothing but a brag,' a groan, and tank of air." British Transport Doing Huge Task Britain has organised "her wartime transport to such ah extent that we are now moving one and a quarter million tons of freight every day of the year," the London Radio said. "This is being done with fewer ships, rail wagons, trucks and canal barges than Britain would have reeded for adequate handling by peacetime service and with less manpower," continued the broadcast. "The railways alone for example, have lost 110,000 employees to the forces, but they are moving twice as much merchandise as they did before the war, while through trains for troops and other Government traffic average 2,000 a week. All this is being done by cutting out all waste time and using every available means of transport. Even horses have been mobilized. Ten thousand are in use at one British port alone. No wagon or truck can be allowed to stand still for longer than it takes to load or unload it. "America is helping by sending prefabricated wagons for British nilways. They arrive in eig*t parts and as they are unloaded they are put together, then loaded with other imports and dispatched on the railways" Red Cross Head /MIDDLE-AGEn WOMEN (yS) HEED THIS ADVICE!!

Hundreds of thousands remarkably helped. Follow label direo MRS. A. D. McKELVEY Announcement of the appointment of Mrs. A. D. McKelvey as Supervisor of the Women's War Work of Ontario Division of the Red Cross is made by Mrs. John C. Fraser, Chairman oi that Com-. Because of her splendid background of Red Cross volunteer service of three years, in close touch with all Branches of Wo-, men's War Work, combined with her office training and executive ability, Mrs.. McKelvey is especially well fitted to fill this position. A son and daughter are. in the Service, Dr. A. D. McKelvey in the Army Medical Corps at Borden, and Wren Peggy McKelvey a W.T. stationed at Ottawa. "They March Better On Tea" Commandos march better on tea than on water. This fact has been demonstrated by an official test recently carried out in Great Britain. A Canadian battalion was undergoing a 12-day course of battle training. The last six days were devoted mainly to marching, and during the period the foot-sloggers covered more than 280 miles. As an experiment, three out of four platoons were allowed to get all the water they wanted. The members of the fourth platoon were kept entirely off water and were seived only with tea. The "water platoons" made good use of their water bottles, but the "tea platoon" was the only one to finish the course intact. Which only goes to show that there must be something in the soldier's traditional liking for a cup of rosie lee."
