Professor Norton was perhaps best known as the literary executor of Buskin, with whom he enjoyed a lifelong friendship, and of ing various sections in different ways and carefully comparing the effects of traffic thereon. The results of recent experiments in the county of Hereford, on the Great North Boad, and-in the county of Kisnt, would seem to lead to the conclusion, satisfactory alike to motorists'' and to ratepayers, that the cost of a really dueUess road, constructed on eeiontino lines, when spread over the lengthened life which such a road has, works out at a smaller' sum per annum than that the old unsatisfactory type of highway, and, therefore, in the near future we may hope to get rid of what has been at the bottom of mogt of the public hostility to automobilism.

He was the son of Dr. Andrews Norton, well-known millimetres bore, or its equivalent if a larger number of cylinders i were used; the speed attained, however, under these limitations was eo great that the race resolved itself into a competition between tyres rather than engines.

The progress in tyre manufacture has no doubt been, immense in the last five years, but it must always be recognised that a material like rubber muBt have its limitations, and. these seem to be reached when oars weighing 1,000 kilos, are driven at speeds of 70 miles an hour or more on a course which involves the "skidding" of corners. There Is therefore a critical period in the. speed of cars of a given weight beyond which tyres as at present constructed cannot be expected to stand the strain, for long. The speeds attained by cars in' the recent Grand Prix were evidently In excess of this critical point, which seems, indeed, to have been more.

nearly gauged in the Four-inch Race in the Isle of Man; the winner in this event drove one of the heaviest cars in the race, and, if I recollect aright, was not delayed by any tyre trouble, though many of the competitors were not equally fortunate. The critical speed for tyres is, of course, dependent on many factors, amongst which may be mentioned the car's weight, the sharpness of the ourves on the course, the excellence of the road surface, and the manner of driving; with these and many other factors to consider, deductions should not be too readily made from performances in one race on a particular course, as they may not be readily applicable to another race run at equal speed on a dif Unitarian theologian.

Joseph Wood, of Birmingham, the head this year of the Unitarian churches, has been making a visitation during the last ten days to the Unitarian churches in Manchester, and last night at the Memorial Hall he met many of the ministers and laity at a conference. Mr. Wood delivered an interesting address on the present-day position of what he termed "our cause." His Teniarks, he made clear, were of general rather than of local application. In the Manchester area, he mentioned, is to be found a majority of the total strength of the Unitarian churches of England aud Wales. Manchester is looked upon as the Mecca of Unitarianism, but Mr.
