BRITISH engineers have evolved a new kind of emer- gency bridge by which vital communications can be rapidly restored if enemy aircraft manages to damage or. destroy bridges on the trunk roads of England, Scotland or Wales.

The bridges are constructed of galvanised steel.

They have only nine stan- dardised unit parts held together with hundreds of nuts and bolts on the principle made familiar by Meccano, the famous construc- fional toy known to children all over the world.

Entire bridgespans up to 200 feet long and capable of bearing the heaviest road vehicles can be erected ten times as quickly as the bridges they will replace. Groups of selected workmen ein- loyed by firms of contractors all over the country have been specially trained in the building of these emergency bridges.

The country is divided into eight

At strategic points in each district are carefully hidden depots, where

all steel parts and other equipment

or repairing damaged ones are lying! in readiness for the emergency.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30 (UP),-Had Frederick James Hinds lived, he would have upheld the Hippocratic oath and perhaps gone on to become a famous man in the realm of medical discovery.

But two years ago, while he was a student in the Standford University School of Medicine, young Hinds bent over a microscope to make an examination of his own blood and saw his own death warrant.
