He was assured that such a ges ture on his part would be greatly appreciated.

Sir Jullen said that his side was composed entirely of amateurs all of whom' always played with him. in club and holiday cricket. Most of them turned out for matches five days in the week on his grounds during the Summer.

"I hope the cricketere in Ceylon are in good health except the fast bowlers!" he remarked.

The first matter he discussed was the defeat of England in the Tests. They got very little news on the ship, but neard that England had falled to win the Ashes.

He was particularly pleased at the form showed by Hardstaff and was of the opinion that there was no doubt that the wicket had a lot to do with England's defeat. There was no question, however: that the better side had won.

It is not enough to aensc an emergency and stamp on the pedal; he should be able to appre- ciate in a flash, what he can do at any speed and on any kind of road surface, and before his driv- ing skill has so developed he must know some facts about brake work

This is what is called his time reaction, and tests have shown that while this may be a second or more the average reac- tion time is three-quarters of a second But while the driver is reacting the car is still running on. At thirty miles an hour it is do- ing 44ft. a second, so that in the three-quarters, of a second which elapses before his foot gets on to the pedal the machine has run $31t.

EFFECT OF ROAD SURFACES ON BRAKING These are the figures for a straight test.

The engine promptly offers a resistance, the momentum is checked, and by. the time the brakes are brought into play they have far less work to do and therefore are more prompt in their action and more effective. It is a little point that enhances the skill of a driver, in- creases his safety, and also has a direct bearing on car economy in that it keeps down wear and tear of the braking lay-out and of the transmission, as well as of the
