Dummy Cops

Hungerford, England, has hano'
ed a jolt to the transport OIL
GERS of large cities by the SIM
plicity Of the plan it has adopted
to slow traffic at a dangerous
curve.
Hungerford's chief traffic prob
lem is a stretch of the main road
from London which has partlcu-
lardly bad bend, where traffic
pours past in both directions.
So two dummy policemen, IN
regulation uniform, are to be
placed, one on each side Of the
dangerous bend, where all motor
lists can see them. The wax OF
fcers are expected to persuade
traffic to slow down in taking the
bend.

Pursuit ranks second IN the
devious ways screen writers use

An excellent variation of this
theme will be found in Frank

life goes on for ages without at
fecting the youth of the inhabi-

ers. This theme will be found
in Columbia's Counterfeit fea-

he aids her escape from a bandit
