BEER BOTTLE METHOD NOW FOR FIGHTING TANKS

MONTEREY, Calf. The com mon beer bottle, often a wicked weapon in the hands of belliger ent citizens, may be elevated soon to a most important instru- ment of national defense.
 That possibility was forseen by cavalry officers at the Monterey Presidio after antitank combat experiments showed that a gaso- line-flled beer bottle hurled at a tank and then ignited can frus trate a tank attack.
 When the bottle is smashed against the tank, the gasoline spills over the armor. The liquid is then ignited by Very pistol or a tracer bullet and the tank is disabled.
 The bottle method of fighting tanks was used effectively by Moroccan cavalry in Spain.

ROYALTY WILL NOT
 SEE QUINTUPLETS

Callander, Ont, Jan. B. UP).- Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe believes French Canadians will deeply resent the failure to include a visit to the Dionne quintuplets here in the itinerary of King George and Queen Elizabeth for their Canadian tour next summer. The babies are wards of the king. Personally, l don't care" Dafoe said, but the Dominion government is not showing much courtesy to the French in Canada"
 Already, Mayor-Elect Arthur Beat tie and the board of trade at near by North Bay have sent kilograms of protest to Prime Minister w. L. Mackenzie King. Dr. Dafoe said he was sure their majesties had not been consulted about visiting the quintuplets. He blamed the govern ment at Ottawa. He said the gover- nor-general had no part in passing up the quintuplets but 'it is perhaps significant that neither the gover- nor general nor any member of the cabinet had ever visited the chil- dren." "In the United States. the quintuplets have done more ,ol Can ada than any government, he said. United States visitors do no, come here to see members of the govern ment. Thy come to see those | healthy, beautiful children"
