Searching for buds" After
Air Raid Is Dangerous Job
(By Associated P.ess)

LONDON, Dec 26.-Of the many
stories of heroism during the war on
which official records are silent but
which are being brought forth with
relaxation of the censorship, is that OF
Captain Larcombe of the anti-aircraft
defenses of the London District. His
job for four years has been to find
and dispose of German aerial bombs
that failed to explode when dropped on
London.
After each AFRAID, and in the early
part of the war there were many. Lar
combe and his men would go about the
city seeking the "duds." 1t was dan
gerous work extricating them from
wherever they happened to drop. trans
porting them out of the city and ex-
ploding or otherwise destroying them
During the excitement after raid few
people thought of the bombs that fail
ed to "go off" but all of them have
ceased to be menace to the city.

Salaries Are Increased.

Owing to the great advance in the
cost of living, tho local government
has Increased the salaries of all Its en-
ployecs who were paid under 1,S0O
cscudoG ($l,945) per annum. The in
crcases In some cases have amounted
tn 10 per cent, writes Consul John +.
Jewell, Lcurcuco Marques, Portuguese
East Africa.
The resultant excess of expenditure
over the budget estimate for salaries
is in round figures S313,200. AS the
budget could not bear any additional
expenditure without deficit that
would embarrass nj present and in fu-
turc hinder the development and the
progress Of the province of Mozam-
biquc, To meet this new expense item
the government has Increased the fees
for licenses for bars, cantccuS, ld0sks,
etc, the telegraph aud telephone rates,
and the export tax oa sugar and has
established n 'milltary" tax. Increased
revenue is expected from these meas-
urcS as follows: Export tax on sugar
$2l6,o00; telegraph ard telephone

I'VE used to think" said Jerry. the

that we couldn't get along without the

that LITTLE billy can up and made for

on his pack, he began to double and
groan, as If 1t wasn't his billy can. and
he wasn't going to carry more than his
share, and what did I mean anyhow
by proposing TO overload poor camel
that way? SO to make things easy I
switched off to the next camel And
he began to groan. They all groaned.
Not one of them would have that little
billy can on his back.
"Well, l was disgusted. Instead Of
hanging 1t on n pack mounted my

American Shipments.
piiferine Formerly Was Credited to
the Canal Zone but Has Been Re.
dueed to Minimum.

Pilfering is still a great problem in
the case OF merchandise shipped to
ports an the west coast Of South Amer

evil has been greatly lessened as re-
suit Of insurance embargoes on goods
destined Tor those ports or in response

Reports. In Mollcndo pilferlng, so far
as Bolivian goods are concerned, has
been reduced to small proportions In
consequence of on agreement between
the Peruvian and Bolivian govern

dispatch of merchandise for Bolivian
destination. Nevertheless, The Prob
lem Of pilfcring remains n serious one
AT practically every port on the west
coast.
Formerly it was the fashion to say
That much Of the pilfering took place
in the Panama Canal Zone, and there
was probably some basis for the state
ment in the days when traffic through
the canal was stopped by the slides in
Galllnrd cut and creight was badly
congested at Colon and Balboa. 1t Is
probably true, however, that even in
those times much of thc loss attributed
10 pilfering was due to unusual hand
ling or exposure. Since traffic through
the canal has been resumed on nor
NAL basis the loss from pilfering in
the Canal Zone has been reduced to an
almost negligible point.
Goods tlnns-shipped to Colon and
Rulbon are stored in pier sheds irrie-
li1tcly upon discharge. The sheds are
large, well built, flreproof. and can be
easily guarded and protected. Both in
