the scramble Windows crashed.
Bottles fell from behind the bar
Plaster fell. Lights went out. The
floor was slithery with spilled beer
and piled with sprawled bodies
But the men picked themselves
up. Some flashed torches. Emer-
gency light were lit. Blackout cur
tains were hastily adjusted. People
looked ruefuliy at their spilled or
broken glasses. My companion's
glass had been blown clear out of
his hand.
Hilarity After Explosion.
There was a rumble of Where S

out what glassware was still good
and filled them up all around. Then
he started to collect.
Money" they exclaimed. This
is on you" They knew that stock
in trade is insured against bomb
damage. Five minutes after the
explosion there was more hilarity
there than before.
You cannot scare these people
that way. Not that they are not
scared at times. There's probably
not a Londoner who hasn't quaked
in his boots time after time. But
after the scare they grumble again
one is on you" They knew that stock

And they fall to counting the in
dications that a>day will come when
they will be able to give their enemy

before the war began. work in a
building which has been bombed.
I live in a house which has been
bombed. I have had the narrowest
of escapes.
I have learned how to PROSTATE
myself on the pavement when
bomb begins its shrieking fall and
gives you just six seconds to duck;
my military friends with stop watch
es have confirmed that figure.
So I can answer the repeated
question of people who live outside
of London about the terrors of life
there by saying you can get used to
anything and there are circum-
stances in which you can be too
busy to be terrorized.
One Grows Fatalistic.
One can reach a point at which
there is a Wagnerian music in the
crash of great guns and the scrunch-
ing of bombs. And one grows fatal
istic. One feels that the odds against
a direct hit are something like the
odds against being struck by light
ming.
Londoners have quick reaction

Mr.. Wilson, who lived at 518
Taylor street NV, was retired as
an attorney from the Justice De-
partment in 1884. He first entered
Government service in the early
part of the century, later, in 1907,
joining the legal staff of the Com
merce Department. He went to the
Justice Department in 1913 and con-
tinued there until retired, except
for the time in 1920-21 when he
served as solicitor of the Commerce

Prohibition is coming back, ac-
cording to Michigan's crusading Gov
Luren D. Dickinson, but he doesn't
know when. There will be a
day - /"
Nationally known for his views on
morals, the 81-year-olds Governor is
here to address the Anti-Saloon
League convention this afternoon.
If the "drys" had the financial
backing of the VETS" Gov. Dickin-
son believes the Nation would change
its ways quickly enough.
As it Is, there's far too much
drinking going on-and it's my
opinion" he said, that the return
of old-time religion would do more
than any other single thing to re-
store the country to temperate
state"
Having kept his eyes open while
lecturing in AZ States, the foe of
liquor and the champion of simple
life has come to the conclusion that
there has been some improvement
in the state of public morals" What
it's attributable to, he couldn't say.
Room fer Betterment.
But there is still lot of room for
betterment The Government

told reporters at the Commodore
Hotel last night, land records show

as one reason for so much lawless-

arrive at something like a true fig
ure, so insistent are the British that
they have absolute proof a plane is
down before they claim it.
The same thing is true of figures
of industrial losses. 1t is not propa-
ganda when the British say officially
that most of the bombing has had
small military significance.
Few Direct Hits.
l have seen from week to week
the actual figures and have visited
the scenes of bombed factories, and
it is remarkable how few the direct
hits have been and how, in spite of
them, the very factories bombSd have
been back in production in mat
ter Of days or hours.
Usually production does not stop
at all in parts of the mills and fac
tories not directly hit.
This is not to diminish in any
respect what has been happening
in London or to take away from
Londoners any of the respect due
them for their will to withstand and
to keep going under the hail of
bombs.
The worlds largest city will prob
ably bear forever the scars of the
present conflict, and there are great
and appalling gaps in its lines of
homes and business buildings.
The figures of property loss, If
they could be compiled, would be
astronomical, and there is, of course,
no way to estimate the number OF
lives lost.
But London has a citizenry de-
termined to die at its posts If neces-
sary and is proving night by night
that this spirit can belong to shop
keepers, stenographers, factory
workers and porters, as well as to
a uniformed soldiery.
I have heard it said of sailors in
a storm at sea that all is well while
they are shouting and swearing:
one can begin to despair when they
are hushed in prayer alone.
Grumbling Incident Cited.
The British grumble. Typical is
an incident with taxicab driver the
other day. 1 listened to his plants
for blocks and blocks-the detours
round closed streets-holes IN the
road - petrol rationing - damage
