members of that organization who

TRICKS OF SELF DEFENSE,
Papers Advise Seriously How Women
Should Learn to Strike.

| London, Jan. 15.-Such a recrudescence
| of attacks on women riding alone in the
isolation OF British railway carriages has
occurred recently that a serious discus
sion is now going on in some papers as
TO a woman's best means of coping with
an assailant.
Women are advised gravely to practise
what are termed "easy tricks of self
denfence." and are assured that in a shot
time they can so familiarize themselves
with the mobile art that its application
al an instants notice will become merely
question of habit. One of these easy
tricks is to break the rufIian's arm.
when the blow is aimed says one of
the oracIes, "the victim should quickly
step aside so as to let II pass harmlessly
over her right shoulder, at the same time
raising her left arm to turn off the blow
and automatically clasping the assailant' S
wrist with her left hand as it comes to
the full extent of the arm. She then
turns round-indeed the force of the blow
half turns her around as she grips the
wrist-until her back is to her assailant,
at the same time swinging her right arm
over his and bringing her hand under his
arm, so as TO grip her own left wrist.
by pressing her right elbow tightly to
her side--it is exactly above her assail-
ants elbow-at the same time that she
presses his wrist downward with her
left hand she either breaks his arm. dis
locates his shoulder or throws him off
his feet
All this muscular effort. it is to be re-
membered. is TO be performed within the
cramped limits of the British railway
carriage
All sorts of patent devices have also
been designed TO improve the means of
communication between the $, locked-in
passengers and the guard in his lyric at
the rear of the train.
One proposition is that the guard should
have a check string to the arm of the
engine driver and a flexible hollow tube
should be fixed from thu guards van to
ting engine, through which the men could
converse without the noise of the train
affecting their hearing.
patent has been granted for a device
thus described:
Two tubes are fixed. one above and
one below the train. each terminating in
a whistle. one in the guards van and
the other on the engine. They arc con-
nected by small tubes, one OF which is
to run through each carriage, and which
are closed by valve on each end and
contain compressed air. Upon pulling
lever in the carriage these valves are
opened. thus lfeerating the compressed
air >"
The whistles blow at either end of the
train. and q small signal. showing the
guard the location of the appeal for help.
IL is generally agreed that all these pat
ented devices derend. after all. for their
value on the watchful eye az the guard
and the light Of day. II does not vet
seem TO have occurred TO the British
travelling public that the American rail-
road car on vestibuled train affords
absolute protection TO the woman travel
ing alone.
