dressing American War Mothers

Heavy gunfire and the thunder OF

Five persons were entombed by one
bomb, which wrecked three houses,
and all were believed to have been
killed.
Reverting to the mass air attacks
of the earlier stages of the siege,
the raiders hit the coast in such
big waves that many were able to
streak inland past Britains de-
Tending fighters.
On one occasion one raider, on
another five and again 20 flew across
the capital.
Air battles could be heard in many
places while Britons stood with
barred heads beneath misty skies to
honor their dead of the last war on
the 22d anniversary of the broken
peace of 1918.
The day raiders. although har-
assed by the capitals intermittent
barrage, dropped heavy bomb loads
on London.
One demolished two houses, in
jured a woman and three children.
Another salvo fell opposite school,
but caused no damage. A third
wrecked a saloon and bowled over a
bus. A bank and some stores also
were hit.

in the first assault, the British said,

Authoritative sources said the
flight of more than 1,400 miles round
trip was the longest yet undertaken
by the R. A. F. across Germany and
German-occupied territory.
That distance was measured by
the shortest line from the East
Anglican coast, the nearest British
jumping-of place. 1t meant twice
crossing the North Sea and flying
out and back over the Netherlands
and Northern Germany, crossing al
most directly above such heavily
fortified German cities as Hamburg
and Bremerhaven and the German
North Sea naval bases of Wilhelms-
haven and Emden.

the attack on Danzig was part of

included raids on Essen, site of Ger

works and a repeated target for

Many have mistaken this beetle
for the diving beetles, as the men,
bers in this family do resemble
them somewhat in shape. But
those who are alert as to detail
soon recognize the difference. The
scavengers have short, club-shaped
antennae, which are usually bent
under the head when swimming
And they hang head up in the
water. The divers hang head down.
Few realize how important these
giants are to the body of water in
which they reside. BY their I'M

not swimming about, checking on
the refuse in the water, they are
policing the bottom of the pond.
Look for great, glossy black fell
lows about rs inches in length.
When swimming they use the hind
legs alt -rnately. The second and
third pair of legs are flattened and
provided with strong bristles. These
are great aids in swimming. When
they must come to the surface for

The adults are air breathers.
They collect enough air about their

them carefully you can tell when
their supply has given out, or rather
been used up. This is when they
make a straight shoot for the sur
face. When the new supply Is
being collected the antennae are
thrust out and bubble of air is
captured. This is carried under the
body, where it gradually spreads
until the body is encompassed with
