THE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COLBORNE, ONT., AUGUST 17, 1944 WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING 'Bullet-Proof Tire it meed : few days ago that the British 'bullet-proof lire is in wide use in Normandy. The tire is being manufactured in Britain and in America, to a British design made available to the United States under reverse lend-lease. It is not actually bullet-proof. There is no stich thing as a bulletproof tire, but by reinforcing the , Trails, providing an inner ring and strengthening the beading, a flat tire can run for 40 miles before it Is completely ruined. The new tire when flat can carry the weight of a vehicle without slipping. The bullet-proof tire was preceded by another British invention which made the difference between victory and defeat in North Africa -- a combination of cross-country and sand tire, which prevented vehicles from bogging down in the desert. It was designed on the camel theory; a camel crossing the desert sinks into the sand much less than any other animal. This is due to the fact that the area of a camel's foot is greater in proportion to his weight than that of other animals, and also has a specialized structure. Bullets Will Make Huns Understand There is sound logic in the statement of Ilya Ehrenburg, one of Russia's foremost authors, that rib matter what is happening inside the Reich, Germany's fate will be decided on the battlefield by her ene- ' mies and not at home by her generals. "Hitlerite Germany will be driven to her knees not by insurgent officers but by ourselves and our Allies," Ehrenburg wrote in the "We don't trust the Germans, neither the intelligentsia nor the silly one, neither the -blind nor those who have recovered their sight. We trust our tanks and bullets. Our troops move faster than the conscience of the Fritzies. It is to be expected that the Germans will understand everything when we reach the gates of Berlin." RED COMMANDER mander of the Third Belorussian Front, led first Red forces into Germany proper when he crossed the border of East Prussia, land of the Junkers estates.

We now have abundant evidence that these final processes are working. The American sweep into Brittany and the drive eastward in the direction of Paris appear to be gaining momentum. Some 13 German divisions, have been eliminated since the Allied landings two months ago. Anglo-American casualties approach an almost equal number in terms of men, but whereas it is ,a matter of Allied policy and pride to make good replacements overnight so that divisions are always at optimum strength, the German replacement problem grows progressively more acute. As In 1940 The American break-through in Normandy is comparable to , the German penetration at Sedan on May 14, 1940. The Germans were able to advance about 25 miles a day, accomplishi wonders. Paris fell 30 days. Will the Anglo-A: the. tins It i possible, their for the local popul; side; the French Underground is no doubt hampering German movements. Moreover, the German determination to hold on to the robot-launching areas is likely to lead to further military blunders, which Quiet, Please Here is a delightful story, taken from a recent issue of the Belgian secret paper L'Alouette: A young man called Bebert was called up for compulsory labor service. His uncle, a keeper at a Zoo at Antwerp, enabled him to go into hiding by disguising him as an orangoutang. One day his mother came to see him. Bebert was delighted, and jumped about on his trapeze to show how well he had learned his part. Suddenly he fell into the next cage, where two lions were prowling up and down. Bebert's mother yelled with terror. At first the lions took no notice. Then one of them came up to the bars and said: "For goodness sake be quiet, Madame. l to give the whole lot of t ITCH CHECKED in a Jiff i/ -or Money Back For quick relief from itching caused by eczema; D°D^d"1prWs^r1iPTIoWJ ^Greasele^^and stainless.

BUY THROUGH YOUR BANK OR BROKER Allied leadership seems capable of exploiting. f ■ Home Front Shiky That the German home front is shaky, there can be not the slightest doubt. The suspicion thrown on the military and the purge of generals is scarcely designed to bolster the Army's morale. The constant bombings and the evident evaporation of the Luftwaffe must be deeply felt by the citizenry. We see the effects of a relatively few 1,000-pound robots on London, and can picture, in turn, the results of 2,000-plane raids on Berlin. Historians say that it was about the middle of August, 1918. that, -the Kaiser was informed the Ger- )uld r i the There followed much harried activity, much talk of secret weapons, much rallying of the people to a final all-out effort. But the Allies poured in their superior resources, and the end was visible for weeks before Foch sent his word to the German Armistice delegation, "Proceed to the French outposts by way of the'. Chermay-Formies-La-Capelle-Guis>ti Road." Hitler and Kaiser Yet as we look back.now, the Germans still had remarkable recuperative powers, great industrial comeback, immense ingenuity. It was only the policy* of the Allies in relentlessly hammering, and wedging into every 'crack, military and political, that opened, which brought the Germans to sin-render in November, 100 days after they had "lost" and reports of a furious counter attack on the road ta Paris suggest the Germans 'still have some unexplored capacities. Hitler, like the Kaiser, has been told he cannot win. He is reacting as the Kaiser reacted. The Allies must not, however, underestimate the foe any more than Marshal Foch did. This is the time to pour it hotly on, at home as well as in the field. | HEY1 URGE .

LYDIA Ei PINKHAM'S -- West To Have Best Crop In Years "The West is going to have one of the best general crops it has had in years," said D. C. Coleman, chairman and president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, on his return to Montreal from an inspection trip over a large section of the company's Western lines. To Mr. Coleman's eyes the West never looked better. Consistent gains throughout nearly all of the grain-growing districts have brought both crops and pasture lands to the peak. With plenty of feed, the livestock population is on the increase and cattle and hogs are contributing greater wealth to Western agrarian economy. In some parts of Saskatchewan harvesting already has begun, and defin have yet been made, there seems no reason to expect that the quality of the grain will not be well up to standard. Westerners generally are looking toward a very satisfactory year. Marketing conditions for the products continue to promise well and the entire financial situation throughout the country is on a sounder footing than it has been for some years. Mr. Coleman said the war had brought an important measure of industrial progress to several of the Western Provinces and there Was reasonable hope that a part of this would continue to function after the war.
