Dolan said the eight-month total | this year was 8,285,000. He estimated | that the total of all of 1940 might reach 14,000,000 or 15,000,000. Early in the year it was estimated that the tourist industry would be worth $300,000,000 to the Dominion this year, Dolan said, but actually the intake would not be much more than $250,000,000. This would repre- sent a decrease of between $25,000, 000 and. $30,000,000 from 1939. ' | the scene of the accident. ONCE. MAE'S LEADING MAN Pte.

Without Marksman Re- aiming Toronto, Oct. 18. -- A Canadian's invention has given the United States Army what is claimed to oe the finest rifle in the world. But it hasn't many of them and at the present rate of manufacture it would take some 17 years to turn out a million rifles. The Garand rifle can be fired eight times without the marksmac taking his eye off the target. It is rated 2% times as fast as the Springfield rifle, standard U.S.A. arm, whose hand-operated bolt ac- tion means re-aiming after each shot, and it packs a "kick" equiva- lent to being hit by a one-pound brick dropped 14 feet, whereas a woman may comfortably fire the Garand, Furthermore, it can be taken apart in the field, with only a cartridge as a tool, in 12 seconds, and it works in Aretic cold or tropic heat, and even after immersion in salt water. John C. Garand was born in Que- bec, not far from Montreal, 52 years ago. When he was 12 the family removed to Connecticut, and the boy got employment with machine- tool makers. When the United States entered the First Great War, he submitted to Washington a ma- chine gun. It got him a governmen! job in Springfield Armory. It took him 20 years to produce his rifle, which he turned over to the nation free. He is receiving no compensa- tion except his modest wage at the armory, points out Donald Wilheim, writing in Forbes Magazine. The action of the rifle is driven by gas from the explosion of its cartridge. In the underside of the barrel is a tiny hole through which, as the bullet nears the muzzle, the gas strikes the half-inch piston of a small, very responsive gas engine. This device ejects the shell of the Jury Deliberates Long To Return Open Verdict | Official Result of Car's Brighton, Oct. 18.--After delib- erating 90 minutes without agree- ment, a coroner's jury Thursday night delivered an open verdict in the inquest into the death of Oscar R. Thomson, of Belleville, two miles east of Colborne on October 7. Returning for further instruction after an hour and a half of debate, the jury, headed by Stephen Dud- ley, was informed by Coroner Dr. A, C. McGiennon that the duty of the jury did not involve fixing blame to any person or persons for the fatality. Five minutes later they returned with a verdict which said: "We find that O. R. Thomson died in Cobourg Hospital on October 7 as a result of injuries received when his car collided with a truck on Salem Hill on the same day." Dr. F. R. Pember, of Colborne, testified he had attended Mr. | of Hydro for Belleville district, at | the Injured man died in Cobourg Hospital at 330 p.m, after his admission. Cause of death was given as a depressed fracture | of the skull on the left side. Highway Slippery | Aircraftman Jean D'Aoust, RC. | | AF, St. Thomas, a passenger in | | the Thomson car, said the highway | | was slippery, but that it was not raining at the timé of the accident. | | "Mr. Thomson was not driving very | fast," he testified. Asked to esti- | | mate the speed of the Thomson car, D'Aoust said he could not say | | accurately, adding "it was just an ordinary rate of speed." The witness declared he had | watched the course of the truck | from the time it rounded a curve west of the accident point. He saw it go onto the south shoulder of the road and said, "I'm pretty sure | hit the fence there. TI* then | came back across the highway to { the centre." "Mr. Thomson tried to avoid the | | truck by turning his wheel to the right, but there was a collision. The car was on its right side, and the truck about at right angles to the : ¥ heading toward the north of the highway at the time of impact," D'Aoust testified. William Hobbs, Toronto, driver of the truck, was given the protection of the court at the request of his counsel, R. Phalen, of Toronto. Hit Broadside "The pavement was wet and slip- pery," Mr. Hobbs said. "I noticed ! the car approaching on the wrong | side of the road and cutting the | corner. I thought he wasn't going to turn back to his own side, so 1] cut sharply into the railing along | the south shoulder. Just then the | | car driver turned quickly and skid- | | ed right onto my left front fender | | almost broadside. The blow took | the wheel out of my hand and the tractor went across the highway and swung around into the north tech. | "I was travelling about 30 miles ! an hour before the accident,' Mr. | Hobbs declared. "and I had slowed down to about 26 at the time of the | Impact because I applied the brakes | when I saw the car coming." Answering a question by one of | | the jurymen, Mr. Hobbs sald the | Thomson oar was coming 'very | fast," and that it cut the corner | "sharply." His outfit had not jack- | | knifed at any time until after the collision, Mr, Hobbs said, in id [ N 'Common Sense About Constipation A doctor would tell you that the best thing to do with any ailment is to get at its cause.

The armory began work on the rifle 4; years ago. In 20 months it was delivering ten a day; now it is up to 300 daily. Although the Garand weighs scarcely nine pounds and has only 75 parts, it requires 1,500 operations to produce one. It contains 19 dif ferent kinds of steel, some of them difficult to use in automatic quan- tity producing machines. When Garand's original blue prints were submitted to engineers, one company estimated it would take 200,000 hours of engineering study just to plan and design -- not to build -- the needed equipment. Of the 1500 operations required in mass production, 900 are by ma- chine, such as forging, to shape hot metal; milling and broaching, to get the parts down to shapé and size; coining, stamping, drilling and reaming. Each of thes¢ machine operations is likely to require a pecially built machine, a jig or specially devised vise to hold the § part being' machined, and, this gauge to make sure the part is mensionally perfect. ll The armory had to buy nearly 1,000 different machines costing up to $20,000 each, besides jigs and fixtures.
