Motor-car drivers take the mime chauffeur from a band of eighteenthcentury French brigands who tortured their victims by burning their feet. Owing to a road-improvement sehciim n number of houses at Bursledou Bridge, near Southampton, had to be removed. One owner, rather than pull his house down, has moved the whole structure, at the rate of two feet a day, by means of rollers. It may be added that the house, though large, is made of wood. Warning motorists to drive slowly in school zones, life-sized dummy policemen have been ere-ted for the protection of children in Santa Barbara, California. The figures are constructed of plate steel and pipe bracings, and painted in vivid natural colours. When set in the middle of the street near schools, they can by seen many blocks away, thus giving drivers plenty of time to «low down.
