London, July 28.-Till the present
war women had added very few to the
many patents taken out for war inven-
tions. Now the patent files of the Al

contain an increasing percentage Of war
inventions due to the gentler sex.
Just before the war broke out. the
French Government carried out series
of exhaustive experiments on new
kind of shrapnel powder invented by a
woman named Ida Bohme. The gases
from this powder, it was claimed. had
the remarkable property of stuperyIng
for many hours any troops near which
the shell exploded. Unfortunately the
invention did not come up to expecta-

Several hundred patents a year are

ANTI-BOMB RISK
LATEST INSURANCE

Paris, July 28.-(Correspondent of
The Associated Press)-The German
advance has brought into Paris anti
bombardment insurance The one
company allowed to do such business
will insure any given property only
against damage from 5000 shells. If
the Germans were to reach a point
where their huge 350-centimeter guns
could effectively batter Paris, and were
to pour 5000 in without damaging any
given piece of property, its owner
would have to reinsure against the
next five thousand Shells.
The price of the anti-bombardment
insurance has gone up to twice what
the anti-airplane bomb policies cost.
1t means just six francs per thousand
of insurance if it is furniture and
other household goods that is being
insured; eight francs per thousand if
buildings; and twelve francs if any
thing else.
The insurance company also has
drawn up a scale of insurance against
personal injury from long range and
other kinds of guns and airplane raids.
Thereby it is possible to insure civ
ilians up to $4,000 francs at four
francs per thousand in the districts.
nearest the present front; at two and
a half a thousand in Paris and its
immediate vicinity; at one franc in
remoter departments; and at IS CEN
times in the most distnat departments
and in Algeria.
The company, whose parent organi-
zation in England has achieved re-
putation in years past for taking any
kind of a sporting" risk in the in
surance line, will not insure life for
over $4,000 francs unless special prem
iums are paid.
