I Small boy, (at Sunday-school treat): " Please, sir, teacher wants you. She's short of mugs." I There are no motor-car speeders in North Adams, Massachusetts. A policeman stands at the roadside with a red lantern or flag. Speeders arc hailed and cautioned to use discretion. If the driver fails to slow down the policeman blows his whistle, and further down the road a board filled with short spikes is stretched across tho highway. Electric searchlights playing over the surface-of tho waters in the Norwegian fjords lure the sardines to the surface, where they can be caught. The sardine canneries along the coast of Norway were recently threatened with a lack of fish owing to the fact that the sardines remained so deep as to. render fishing impossible. The lights remedied this situation. A jewel casket that literally shrieks sit burglars is the latest terror for KafHes. As long as the thief handles the casket the alarm will continue to sound. Its metallic voice would scare the most practised housebreaker. Made in a convenient portable size this miniature safe is fastened with a combination lock. The least touch aifects a sensative pendulum, which releases the lever and sets the alarm going. ." . '•%',: ■■■■■■':;■'.■'./' y: '".. J
