USE CHAIN ROCKETS"
Germany's Favorite Device
Against British Air Raids.
Sends Up 5arrage Of Fire Balls Which
Lights Up the Entire
Sky.

Behind British Lines In France
One of Germany's favorite devices for
opposing British airmen on night raids
or recnnnaisances, Is a barrage of the
so-called "chain rockets" These con-
sist of long chains Of brilliantly lumin-
Gus balls. bright green In color, which
are sent upward like s~kyrockets In
strings of 80 or 40, and which hang
suspended In the sky for a considera-
Bile time. apparently for the purpose Of
catching the atrplane and setting fire
to it.
The rockets must be driven up with
tremendous force, probably from a
gun. for they rise to a height Of TO-
600 feet, and can be placed with great
accuracy. The ~freballs appear to be
about a foot In diameter. As they rise
they are often caught by the wind, and
assume beautiful curves Sometimes
the whole line topples and turns be-
fore 1t vanishes, floating for a few
moments like a row of strange green
japanese lanterns. II is supposed that
the balls are supported In the air by
small p~arachutes.
Thousands of these chain rockets
are fired by the Germans on every oc-
casion when the entente airmen attack
a town or camp. They are part of the
regular shrapnel barrage which is used
to hamper the attackers, but they
give a much more spectacular effect
than the bursting shrapnel, which only
gives a momentary flash In the sky
and then Is gone.
III a machine Is caught by a search
light, hundreds Of the chain rockets
are straightway sent up toward II.
They make a remarkable spectacle, as
they are seen climbing up the sky and
passing, one by one, across the beams
of light, and finally appearing In their
appointed station In the upper dark
ness.

GOOD POLICE
Are Doing Efficient Service In
Great Britain.
Annual Report Of Inspector Praises
Work In Combating Evils
of War.

London-The success of women on
the police force is amply demonstrated
in the annual report of Sir Leonard
Dunning, III. M. inspector Of constabu-
larry. Just published.
Seven counties and "a cities and
borOughs have women ION the
strength" and "their introduction into
professional police work" says Sir
Leonard, may well help authorities
to combat evils which have presented
increasing difficulties to them for years
past"
While most of the m are en-
gagged In clerical work, others are
given duties requiring the complete
confidence of a woman or child, which
a woman can win better than a man
the maintenance of public decorum
among girls, supervision over female
servants reglstries, duties under the
shop hours acts, food control orders
and the like, and supervision over
places of amusement catering for chill
dren.
1t Is not, Sir Leonard hopes, suggest
ed that women should be employed in
the suppression of public order and
the arrest of dangerous or violent
criminals.
With regard to the desirability of in.
trusting to them that part of the in
vestigation of sexual crime which in,
wolves intimate conversation with the
victim, the inspector declares that the
police themselves were the first to rec
ognize this, but until some years ago
failed to find a woman of education
who recognized this as a woman's work
Sir Leonard pays tribute to the fine
work being done by the women police
employed by the ministry OF NUM-
lions, and refers also to the success
Of the efforts Of the women patrols
He denies that the increase of of
lenses by Juveniles and the decrease
of personal chastity of girls are the
consequence of the war or that they
have been aggravated by the war.
For years past police reports have
laid stress on the decay of parental
control and the influence Of parents
with a true sense of their responsible
ties does not seem likely to revive.
Crime Is showing an upward tendency
reduced street lighting, bigamy, con.
cealment Of birth and infanticide, the
latter directly due to circumstances OF
the war contributing.

WOMAN A WORLD POWER

What is to be the status of the American woman when
hs war IS oVer This question that is exercising the
mlnds OF great many people these days. For genera
t!on now, she has been contendng for equal political
ghtS and OF late she has been coming her own
IN this particular. For number of years too she has
to any alarming CD extent But with the calling of the
millions OF men to the army the call has at last come to
woman to demonstrate that she is as members 0fher soy
nave long contended capable of shoudeng the business
'oad and bearing it "manfuy"
1t is no uncommon sight now to see women DOING what
has always been considered mens work." Not such as
cerkng, bookkeeping and all forms of clerical work h
nara labor work that until lately it not thought wo-
men were capable of performing We see them on public
Just lately great steel magnate quoted as saving
that ne would not be surprised if before long he had to
take ON thousand women to take the place of men draft
ed for the army.
But, when the present emergency is past will woman
resume her old sphere of semependent and home bodv
or Will she hold teacosy to what she has gained and re-
luSe TO be OuSted from her recenty-WOn vantage? In
case she should to her old status the world
would soon readust itself and human life wo continue

BUSINESS fabric of the world will have to be remodeed and

ATLANTA SCHOOL FIRE
TO Be INVESTIGATED

ATLANTA, Ga, February 22-Be'
lieving that the Boulevard city school
which burned to the ground at an
early hour Tuesday morning, may
have been set on fire by German
sympathizer, the Atlanta board of
education yesterday ordered thor
ough investigation by the Atlanta fire
chief and the state fire marshal. -.
Already the Atlanta fire chief is con-
WINGED that the fire was incendiaryn
in in its origin, and now the question
whether it was started by a German
symapthizer is to be cleared by a
searching probe into all the surround
ing circumstances.
Mayor Gamblers attention has been
called to the Suspicious chain of pub
lie school fires in several cities over
the country, and it has been suggested
that burning school houses would
strike a blow at the nations war
plans just at this time because of the
splendid work which public school
children are doing to promote the sale
OF thrift stamps.
