Miss R. Keast, started to put through a “”call from one of the rural lines near Heathcote to another rural phone connecting with the telephone office at Regina. Sask. To show how science has quickened speed action, a lapse of only seven minutes occurred between the time Miss Keast put in her call to the next remitting station and the Regina Telephone office was reached. The “call” was relayed through Collingwood, Toronto, Chica- go. Winnipeg and Regina. At first conversation between the two interest- ed parties at each end of the line was free from interference, but later sufi'er- ed interruptions due to the “breaking- in“ which frequently occurrs on party lines. Calls to New York and Chicago have been more or less frequent, but Regina is the record distance so far for the transmission of human voice of the local telephone officeâ€"Thornbury Herald. 4 Thornbury’s Telephone Record This will be linked up with the Eu- genia system, the wires of which run past Walkerton into Teeswater, Kin- cardine and Lucknow, and will ensure the entire district of ample power for years to come.

The latter plant, prior to the coming of Hydro to Hanover, furnished that town with all its electrical energy, as well as supplying juice to the neigh- boring villages of N eustadt and Carls- ruhe. It was purchased two years ago by Mr. Burrell, who has been utilizing it for running a chopping mill, and for which entire outfit, including machin-1 ery. dam and power plant he is stated' to have received $22,500. With certain improvements and additions about the place, Hydro. it is claimed, will be able to develop 500 hp. at this point, while at the Hanover plant a development of 600 hp. is said to be possible. A great stride in Hydro power de- velopement for this district was made this week, when the - Commission took over at a cost of $50,000 the big power. plant of the Canada Cement Co. at Hanover and of Mr. J.

He stopped at a farm- house to get a drink of water. The farmer became chatty, and finally asked his name. When told it was Caruso, he leaped to his feet: “Little did I think that I’d ever see Robinson Caruso!” While the test does not assist in checking front wheel adjustment it is useful in helping motorists guard against unequal adjustment of the rear wheel brakes, a condition which is more undesirable than unequal ad- justment between front and rear sets of brakes. Though the latest brake testing machines are not available to every [motorist there is no reason why any driver should be at a loss to know whether his rear brakes are equalized in the opinion of brake experts. In- telligent use of the speedometer is said to be a handy means of meeting this problem. The test is outlined as follows: Drive at a normal speed along the road and apply the brakes forcibly. If the speedometer dial immediately swings back to zero the indications are that both rear wheels have locked. If either of the two rear wheels fails to lock the speedometer will continue to register car speed until the machine comes to a stOp. Use of Speedometer to Ascertain Rear Brakes Are Equalized. DRIVERS CAN TEST “Why so many farmers are in such a bad humor,” said another tiller of {the soil who happened to drop in at the psychological moment, “is owing to the fact that they have exhausted their reserve.” “We farmers, and you town fellows, too,” continued the party of the third part, “have been travelling too fast a pace and the slow- down order is just a little overdue.
