A Ba IK PILLS **A HOUSEHOLD NAME IN 54 COUNTRIES ** "All Clear!" Mark Barr in Collier's Weekly Tells How London Saved "POMERQY'S PITS" There is a quiet chap smoking his pipe as he putters in his Surrey gar den, who smiles as he remembers his great triumph In science, He is still as little known as he was before his incredible experiment--but not so poor, because England was grateful, You remember the Zeppelin raids on London, of course. Feeling safe 4 In her isolation and in the history of 2000 years free from hostile arms, London, astonished, suddenly found herself in the thick of action. It grew to be a war within a war--the Zeppelins against London, with Herr Mathy against an unknown man who was slow in appearing--a quiet chap, Pomeroy by name. In 1914, on Christmas Eve, the one day in the year when people can least bear to think of war, the first bomb dropped on England. On Christmas Day another Zeppelin came, but was driven off at the mouth of the Thames. Then a New Year's visit, and this time there was death in England. Mathy was leamning the lay of the English countryside. He learned it 80 well that later, when not a light glimmered In all England at night, he could follow the dull silver ribbon of the Thames, calling off the promi- nent buildings of Londontown at this and that bend. _This was the manner of enemy we The invisible ear drum invented by A. O. Leonard, which resembles a miniature megaphone fitting inside the ear, entirely out of sight, is help- There was a year of this sort of thing. Casualties and des- truction grew worse. Something must be done. The Inventions Board was organiz- od hastily with strict orders to listen to every idea, suggestion, or plan. Some three hundred scientists were furnighed with research facilities without stint, and set to work at the problem. I was one of these sclen- tists. Then suddenly a message came to us--""Cease work." Some- body had perfected a bullet. Whoy we wondered? One day there had come Into the harassed Inventions Board a quiet sort of man named Pomeroy. "Ive a scheme for burning the Zeppelins," he sald timidly to an alde. "What is it?" asked the alde, as patiently as is possible for a man who had listened to a thousand fruit. less schemes. "It's quite simple, sir. All you've got to do is put a pinch of dynamite in the nose of a machipe-gun bullet and when it hits the Zeppelin--pop she goes!" "Won't work. aide. "But it has worked. 1 fired my bullet into a brick wall and it blew the bricks apart." ° "There's your answer, Poweroy! Dynamite will explode that way, but aot if it strikes the soft silk of a Zeppelin bag. You see, dynamite is nitroglycerine made safe by soaking it up In infusorial earth so that it loses its dangerous habit of going off at a feather's touch." Pomeroy, keenly disappointed, went back to his little bicycle shop where his only research equipment was an old rifle and a bit of dynamite, But the very next day he was back. He sought out the same aide. "I tried my bullet on a bit of silk-- and it worked!" The aide probably thought now that he was dealing with a mildly dement- ed man; but Pomeroy persisted, and finally succeeded In getting a mem- ber of the Board to come and look at his invention, It must have been a rare scene in the bicycle shop; a man who knew nothing of science, arranging a demonstration for a man who knew what dynamite couldn't do! Pomeroy suspended a bandkerchief, stretched it tightly on strings ana fired his dynamite-nosed bullet through it; and the bandkerchiet went to ash. Presently the sclentist was on the tram, going home deep in thought. The tram itself was a perfect lustra- tion of the mecret overlooked by science which Pomeroy had quite in- 'nocently stumbled om. {llustration: when you are in a tram or a train that Is gathering speed, you are pressed back against your seat. In the same manner] the heavy infusorial earth of the dyna- mite in the bullet nose was set back, thus squeezing out in front a spray of pure ni And this would blow up on touching even a feather.

But very soon the little Pomeroy bullets brought down the next Zeppelin--at Billericay. And then came the sign that the ememy bad doubts, Mathy himself came at a new height--14,000 feet. But the searchlights found him; 'a drum of Pomeroys snapped aloft, and once again the night sky was scarlet--Mathy was dead. That was the end. The Pomeroy bullets had saved London--had made England invulnerable . from airship attack, GUARD THE CHILDREN FROM AUTUMN COLDS The Fall is the most severe season of the year for colds -- one day is warm, the next cold and wet, and un- less the mother is on her guard, the little ones are seized with colds that may hang on,all winter, Baby's Own Tablets are mothers' best friend in preventing or banishing colds. They act as a gen:le laxative, keeping the bowels and stomach free and sweet. An occasional dose of the Tablets will prevent colds, or if it does come on suddenly their prompt use will re- lieve the baby. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cts. a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. Brockville, Ont. -- Settlers Who Settle Saint John Telegraph-Journal (Ind.) ~--Three families out of one hundred settled in New Brunswick during 1928 have failed to stay put, Probably there may be more some other year. Possibly some others of the 1928 ar- rivals will, in the course of a year or so, drift away. But even so, even if no more than nine families out of ten fit permanently into a niche, it is a pretty good showing and argues gen- erally careful selection of the settlers and farms. <>» All-expense Tours "A desire on the part of travelers to go in special parties under expert tour management prompted our com: pany to experiment with the all-ex- pense, personally-escorted plan the past two winters," Passenger Traffic Manager W. J. Black, of the Santa Fe Railway, announced the other day. They were so popular we will repeat this winter. All necessary expenses are defrayed. The passenger pays a lump sum. The railroad takes care of all details from start to finish." _ Five of these tours will he run by the Santa Fe In connection with the Burlington Systém, Chiago to Call fornia and back--a journey of about 6000 miles by rafl, several hundred miles by motor, and requiring three weeks on the way. One will leave in January, two in February and two in March, 1930. The itinerary includes the Indian detour region around historic old Santa Fe, also Taos, where Kit Car son once lived. Grand Canyon Na- tional Park next will be visited, like- wise Tijuana and Agua Caliente in e Empire crusade reached another stage when many notables met at dinner under the ship of Sir Ave Bailey and Lord Melchett outline plans for the formation of an "Empire Cru- saders'" organization with the object of the promotion of Empire trade by any means that an evamination of the problem suggest. Other speakers were Col, L. C. M. 8S. Amery, Lord Lloyd, Herbert Wiliams, and Sir Henry Croft. Those present included Sir Frederick Lewis, Lord Waring, V. | A. Malcolmson, E. R. Peacock, Sir Henry Brittain, Henry Mond, Sir Ed mund Vestey, Sir Harry McGowan, Sir Hugo Cunliffe-Owen, Lord Illing- worth, F. C. Goodenough, Sir Herbert Austin, Sir William Lacks, Colonel R. 'W. Fennell, Sir Benjamin Morgan, Sir -| Robert Hadfield, John Bailey, and R. D. Blumenfeld, The standing of these people warrants the assumption that the Empire Trade crusade may be- come a far-reaching policy, removed to some extent from politics and pos- sibly relieved of embarrassing free trade implications which would in- evitably retard its progress here and overseas. Nevertheless, Lord Beaver brook maintains a vigorous Empire free trade propaganda and has issued his manifesto in the Times, Morning Post, Daily News, and Dally Herald, calling attention to and explaining his campaign. There are numerous let- ters in the press demanding that Con- servatism take a stronger line on the subject. The Hampstead Parliament, a noted debating society, held a discussion on the. Empire Free Trade problem and voted against the idea. Lord Beaverbrook's activity is illus- trated by the announcement just made of a "talkie" for Empire distribution, wherein he is shown and heard argu: ing the case. He is succeeding In forcing the Opposition press to deal editorially with his project.
