Then followed the pony express, the pony with his picturesque rider being superâ€" seded when railways were extended to the West. The final development of the fast express was exemplified when the first plane of Transâ€"Canada Air Lines, inaugurating â€" regular dGdaily survey flights between Moncton and Montreal arrived here carrying express, A paâ€" geant held at the local airport ilusâ€" trated the various stages of express service.

Mrs. Lerocgque said that Mrs. Leclair wanted to put her and her husband out of her house, where they had been roominzx. When she went to get some clothing for her little girl, Mrs. Rowe said that she asked Brown for his rent and that he reâ€" fused to give it to her. Furthermore, he refused to get out. He said that he didn‘t have to get out and that neither she nor the whole police force could eject him. She accused him of pushing her and twisting her arms. Wilmer Brown was charged with asâ€" sault in police court on Tuesday. Howâ€" ever, when the full story was heatd it appeared that he had only been deâ€" fending himself against the complainâ€" ant, Mrs. Alice Rowe, and that he had not even made a good job of that. Accordingly, Magistrate Atkinson disâ€" missed the charge al:ainst him. "Did you not do anything to proâ€" voke him?" asked the Magistrate. Accused Got Worst of Battle So Charge Dismissed The development of the idea sounds like a wild dream of Dante. Today, thr result is an organization known a Underwriters Laboratories‘® Inc., whict is actually asked by manufacturers tc destroy and test their materials so thai the public may be safeguarded. T does not make or manufacture anyâ€" thing; it sells nothing:; it earns nc profits; it pays no dividends, but its work has a direct bearing on the houseâ€" hold of every Canadian between Sydâ€" ney, Cape Breton and Victoria, B.C. All it issues is a small tag bearing three words . . . "Underwriters‘ Laboraâ€" tories Inspected" ‘but before that tag can be attached to any article, be it curling iron, an electric machine, a steel safe, roofing material, garden hose, a baby incubator or an electric switch, that article must pass tests, to describe the severity of which there is hardly an adjective in the dictionary. Working with the knowledge that carelessness is probably the greatest single cause of fires, it says to manuâ€" Landlady Admits She Used Stick on Tenant Charged With Assault. "Destroy to save" is the motto of this organization, whose story of almost maniacal destruction goes back to the year 18982 when a young electrical enâ€" gineer in the United States conceived the idea of advance testiny» of materials for fire hazard. He sold the idea to fire insurance underwriters who, with some hesitation, appropriated $350 to finance a small testing shop, an office and a helper or two. . Mother Nature in a destructive mosad, can be particularly vicious, but in her vilest moments she is not much worse than a manâ€"matie organization whose Machiavellian actions of destruction, every working day, exercise a profound influence on the lives of Canadian citizens . . . and, paradoxically enough, all with the purpose of making everyâ€" day life safer for people in Canada and ‘other countries, INE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO ‘"We can‘t send a man to jail because he is ill," said Magistrate Atkinson. Magistrate Atkinson convicted and fined the accused $5 and costs. Asks To Go To Jail Rene Grenier had a bandage on his arm. He told the court that he had blood poisoning. He was charged with vagrancy. The laboratories test such a variety of articles that it would require a small book alone, to list them.

They have the most ingenious maâ€" chines for torturing, twisting and destroying all sorts of gadgets which are used in the office, the home or the factory. They will test a safe by filling it with papers, and then put it in a gas fire furnace where the heat goes up to 2000 d:prees, for one hour. When it comes out it is pulled up by block and tackle a height of three stories and dropped onto a pile of bricks . . . simuâ€" lating what might happen in a ‘fire. But, that is not the end. If it passes that test i#t goes back into the furnace for another hour . . . and all so that Mrs. Leclair denied the assault. Her little girl, Jeanette, backed up the testimony Oof her mother.

As an instance, a Canadian housewife may leave an electric iron, fully heated to answer the door bell and be detainâ€" ed so long ithat there is danger of fire. But the laboratories guard any excesâ€" sive darter in that direction by reâ€" fusing to pass such an iron until its safety factor has been increased to take care of such contingencies, And the list of equipment which the laboraâ€" tories test, to make doubly sure that extra safety factor is there, comprise 3981 pages of fine print in two columns with a supplement of 85 additional pages.
