Buses And Accidents Admission In Court

Sir Malcolm Campbell considers the large number of omnibuses on London streets to be one of the chlet causes of trame "congestion. In his book, "The Roads and the Problem of Their Safety" (Hut- chinson, 3s. 6d) he writes:
"It is popularly assumed that the bus is the safest vehicle on the road and the taxi-cab the most dangerous. That is quite contrary to the facts, as official statics de- monstrate. The 'bus, in proportion to the numbers in use, is involved In more accidents than any other vehicle.
"Figures show that the 'bus is three or four times as able to accident as any qther type of remember that this may result motor vehicle. Let us be fair, and

NOVEL EXPRESS ENGINE
Berlin, Aug. 18. The first express engine built to run on coal dust fuel has just been constructed by Borsig for the Ger- man State Railways. A wealth of technical experience and skill has gone into her making, which been collected from the experience gained from running goods trains with only coal dust fuel, which has been done since 1926. It has also been sought to simplify the driving of the engine, on the lines of the new Diesel driven trains. The placing of the driver's cabin at the front of the engine gives the driver a completely uninter- rupted view of the track, which is an important point so far as safety is concerned.
