No one was much astonished, although until lately British financiers and public men have insisted that Great Britain could and would pay the debt. Mr. Bonar Law admitted in his speech that the British Empire was virtually at the end of its re- sources when the United States enâ€" tered the war. The loans received. enabled it to continue to tight but added a fresh burden of debt. to the load that already appeared to be crushing. If Great Britain should try to pay it all off without receiv- ing the sums that it lent to its allies, the result, Mr. Bonar Law thinks, would he taxation that would reduce the standard or living to a point in- tnlerahly low.

It will he intorosting for them to know that he has just retired aftor sorving a long and faithful service with tho Grand Trunk Company. To our younger p0pulation, too. this infor- mation may be of interost. No «louht many of them thought that the Grand Trunk line from Durham to Palmerston was as “old as the hills,” or evon that it had always oxistod. “Mr. Box was promoted to the po- sition of engineer 45 years ago, his first ‘run’ being to Goderich, and during the course of his many years at the throttle ho was never in an accident which entailed loss of life nr injuries to train crew or passen- gers. With the exception of derail- ments the nnly accident in which he figured occurred near Mount Forest, whern the rails on a bridge spread and buckled ever the train.” "In the halniy railroading days of the 70‘s an engineer «liiln’t commence his railroad career as fireman. He, started tirst as 'wiper’ in a round- hnnse. then he became a fireman, and before he, presideil at the throttle of an engine he had to spend a certain pel'iml as a “turner.” As a fireman M'r. Box spent his days keeping up steam in woml-lnirning locomotives. a task which he says was easier than firing with coal. Six or seven cords of wood were all that were necessary on a round trip to Sarnia, which meant that many a mile was travel- led with the fireman reclining com- fortably in the cab of the little ‘clawhammer' locomotive. Engineer Box also had the privil- ege of being the engineer to drive the first. CHal-l‘iui'ning locomotive to haul trains West nf Sti‘aifurd. Cnal- burners had been in use prior to that lime un Eastern trips. hut wood- burning lc‘imnmiives had been engag- mi nu trains in Lnndun and Sarnia. “The retirement of Engineer Wal- ter Box at Stratford this week after ,50 years of railroading served to re- ‘call the days of narrow-gauge rails and wood-burning locomotives. The locomotive pictured here is “The Growler,” one of the locomotives of the same type, taken over by the G. T. B. when the Great Western Railroad was purchased by the for- mer company. It was originally a wood-burning engine, but was later converted into a coal-burner. The picture was taken almost 40 years ago and the locomotive was one oi“ the first of which Engineer Box had charge. This type or engine, with cylinders and connecting rods plac- ed in between the driving wheels, has long since become obsolete on the G.T.R. and it is improbable that a similar type of engine can be found anywhere in the United States Or Canada. It is of Schenectady, N.Y., construction and its sole companion of the same type was known as “The Boxer." G. '1'.

Friday’s London Free Press contains some interesting in- formation and besides gives a photo of one of the first engines used on the Grand Trunk lines in Ontario. Without a reproduction of the photo we give the comment of The'Free Press as follows : Exact instructions for tho most economic driving will vary with the make of the. car or truck, but the following pointers will be of value to all motorists : In ascending a hill, don‘t wait until the last second to shift to a lower gear. If you do, you will not only lose speed and owrlax your ougiuo. but. you will also cousumo more gasâ€" oline. In the two trips over the same stretch of road with a truck having a total weight of a little over four tons, the average speed was approx- imately the same in both cases. In an case gasoline consumption was at the rate of 14.2 miles per gallon and in the other 3.5 miles per gallon. With more knowledge concerning economic driving a considerable re- duction can be made in the gasoline consumed each year. The vehicles used in the test were equipped with an ingenious device which makes a continuous record of the gasoline consumed as the vehicle moves over the road and another which makes a simultaneous record of the speed at every instant. The tests were made primarily to discover the efl'ect of various kinds of higlmay surfacing material and difl‘erent grades on gasoline con- sumption. The conclusion with ref- erence to faulty driving is merely incidental to the test, but is one which will mean a small saving to every man who, drives a car if the advice of the bureau is heeded. ca “78 OWL"! BY “IMO onus PROIHLY Here is a suggestion to motorists for the saving of gasoline, which may be small in amount for a single day’s drive, but which will be worth while in a year’s driving.
