Big British Bombers
Display Low Flight
Tactics Near Front
Ships Dart Across Field
At Attitudes Of 30
Or 40 Fee!
By WALTER DURANTY.

AT BRITISH AIR HEADQUAR-
TERS, in France, Nov. 2 (N.AN.A).
The heavy bombers of the British
air force yesterday gave an i'm
pressive display of low-fight tao
tics.
The planes rose from an airfield
and disappeared over a low ridge,
flying at no great height. Then
they burst like thunder over the
ridge at barely 80 or 40 feet from
the field, across which they darted
from side to side, more like swal-
lows than great flying machines.
I had seen similar maneuver
before with lighter planes, but this
was quite different. At such level
one might think there was danger
that the planes would be injured by
their own bombs, but this is OBJ
waited by their great speed and the
delayed action of the fuses. Ex-
perts declare that this is the only
method by which bombs may be
dropped with deadly accuracy and
against troops if accompanied by
machine-gun fire.
There was some excitement in
British air circles caused by re-
ports that German parachutes had
been found at one or two points
near camouf1aged airfields. Alas,
they proved quite untrue. During
the last war flyers were commonly
thus dropped or even landed be-
hind the enemy lines. Indeed, 1
knew a French flyer who took
part in more than 100 such eXpe-
ditlons. German reconnaissance
planes have been defected-and at
least one shot down-While flying
over the British area at a great
height.
Although the clear, dry weather
now prevailing has led to a great
increase in British air activity, it
Is rather in the nature of practice
than directed against the Germans,
and it is still not likely that bombs
will be dropped by the allies on
German towns and villages where
troops might be moving until the
enemy sets an example.

colorful dash of new fashions and be
as varied as the political banners at
the quadrennial political conventions,
the America Automobile Association
said today in reporting color combina-
tions for next years tags.
Among the more exotic hues found
by the AAA were Idaho's green on
gold, Illinois cream on coffee brown,
North Cardinals maroon on alumni
mum, Pennsylvania ultramarine blue
on golden yellow, and Puerto Rico's
patriotic red on white and blue.
"Thirty-four states have adopted
entirely new color schemes for next
years licenses" the announcement
said, while thirteen states and the
District of Columbia were satisfied
with present combinations and merely
reversed them as to numerals and
background. Connecticut which has

GIVE NAME OF

Maryland Law Requires Birth
To Be Registered Within
Four Days
FULL INFORMATION IS
OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE

Out of thousand birth certificates
forwarded to the Maryland State De.
partment of Health. during single
month, last summer, Dy the doctors
midwives or others in attendance, to
be duly registered in accordance with
the State law, one out of every three
lacked the given name of the child. Be
cause of it's importance to the indivld-
ual each record was checked and re-
checked by the Bureau of Vital Stats
tics-which has charge of such re-
cords-and as far as possible, the
missing information was obtained
from the parents and added to the
original.
The extent to which the given name
is omitted from birth certificates, was
brought out very strikingly in report
prepared by DR.. A. w. Hedrich, Chief
of the State Bureau of Vital Stats
tics, based upon the records of births
reported to the Department during
July of this year. Of 1,021 records
reviewed, representing returns from
the % counties of the State, 354 or
Bat per cent lacked the given name
of the child. The only county with
a perfect score was Hartford; the per-
centage of certificates in which the
given name was missing, ranged from
less than 2 per cent in some counties
to 80 per cent in one.
"The birth certificate loses much
of its importance to the individual
and may lose all of tiff any of the
essential facts as to date, place of
birth, parentage, sex, color and given
name, are missing from the certifi-
cate", DR.. R. Fl. Riley, Director>of the
State Department Of Health, said in
explanation of the emphasis on "miss-
ing information"
Suppose" DR.. Riley continued,
"that it is your child, whose birth is
recorded. It may be necessary some
of these days, for the child to prove
his or her identity; to furnish legal
proof that he or she is an American
citizen; to establish claims to property
or the right to an inheritance.
"When that time comes the most
natural thing to do will be for the in
dividual to look through the family
papers for a copy of the necessary
birth record. If it isn't found there,
application will most likely be made
to the Bureau of Vital Statistics for
aid in securing the necessary legal
proof of his or her status.
eff the birth was duly registered,
and the necessary facts were all ac-
curately recorded, the task will be an
easy one. A copy Of the original re-
cord, which the courts will accept as
legal proof of the facts involved, can
be readily obtained, and hurdle num-
