London, Oct. 23-(UP)-Civilian bombing? It's old stuff to the Ger mans and the British.
 The first aerial bomb fell on London 26 years ago. A German Zeppelin dropped 1t on the Isle of Dogs in East London at exactly the same spot where the zeppelins modern successors, the Dorniers and Junkers, have left nothing but the twisted steel and charred wood of large warehouse.
 Since that first bomb fell on the morning of May 3l, 1915, surpris- ingly little has changed in the basic tactics and methods of bomb- ing the civilian populations of warning cities. Both the British and Germans have learnt a lot in the past 26 years about high-ex- plosives and incendiaries - about navigation and flying and radio about airplanes and bomb aiming. But since the Germans first intro- duced the strategy of attaching the home front from the air, noth- Ing mas been HDle UO dAteG t1lS 4hCV that they must first get a bomb- loaded plane through the defenSes to the target area, put the ship over the target and then drop their missiles.
 London FOrgets 1915-16
 While London's people writhed under the l940-41 Luftwaffe air raids involving hundreds of planes, thousands of casualties and mil- lions of dollars in damage, 1t was sometimes forgotten that the same thing on a much smaller scale had happened before. London was bombed from the air intermittent ly for almost three years during the last war. Other parts of Brit ain were subjected to sporadic bombing for almost the entire four years of the conflict.
 Among the distressing similari- ties between the last wars and this wars bombing have been the casualties. There is little differ

sense of the word. They not only had to learn how to take off, fly and land at night-an innovation in early aviation = but they also had to dodge their own anti-air. craft defenses because they had scaiaty contact with the ground forces in these days of radioless Flying.
 Zeppelins Easy Prey
 Meanwhile, even the compari- lively undeveloped anti-aircraft defenses of London found good defenses of London found good hunting in the explosive gas bags that carried the bombs. Several nights during the last war Lon- doners saw Zeppelins burst into flames like huge cigars before they crashed to earth.
 Although the zeppeline carried what was then the phenomenal weight of six tons of bombs, dur ing their reign of terror over Brit ain they were responsible for fewer than 100 civilian casualties and not a single British soldier or sailor was killed during their bombing activities.
 The zeppelins dropped their last bombs on London during the night of Nov. 2S, 1916. Their threat to London lasted only Q year and half.

ence between the appearance oA torn bodies caused by bombs on defenseless civilians whether 1t happened in 1915 or in 1941. It Is just as difficult to rescue trapped persons from their homes today as 1t was during the last war. And people become just as despalrinely angry when their families and children are killed by bombs whether 1t is happening now or happened 24 years ago. .
 During the heavy blitzes on London, more people were killed during one week than the entire civilian casualties of the World
 War. Only about 1000 people were killed throughout Britain in the bombing during those four years. About 2,0oo persons were injured. These figures are low compared with the more than 4l,- 900 killed during the past two years of bombing.
 British Say Bombs Fall
 These World War attacks failed to do material damage either to military objectives or civilian mor- ale. It perhaps is significant that thus far in today's war, German bomberS again have failed. During the years of 19l4-1918 the British people figuratively brushed the bombs from their hair and went on to win the war. They are for their part doing the same today.
 The early bombing of Londan during the last war introduced the ghost raid" The Germans, by using the rigid hydrogen filled airships were able to do something which modern belligerents have been unable to achieve in the pres- ent day war--that is make a silent approach to thei [ target. One of the favorite tricks of the Zeppelin commanders was to get to the windward side of the city and let the wind blow them over the tar- get. The first thing startled Lon. doners knew of their presence was when the bombs dropped seemingly from nowhere.
 The nearest approach belliger- ents in the present war have made to the 1915 ghost raid" are the recent stratosphere bombings of Germany by then American built Flying Fortresses now working in the RAF.. However, alert crews at sound detectors in Germany could pick up the sound of the Fortress motors even when they fly at 30,000 or 10000 feet.
 World War Aim Poor
 In those days the German Zep- pelins dropped their bombs blind ly. Bombing then was 8 combina- ton of luck, rule-of-the-t thumb and guess work. Consequently many bombs fell miles from their targets. For example, on Sept. 2, 1915, Germany sent 1S zeppelins against the industrial cities of Birmingham, Manchester and Lon- don. Only two of these ships drop ped their bombs any where near their targets.
 The British high command found during the last war, just as they found in this one, that the best defense against a bombing attack from the air was a faster more maneuverable flying machine with which to shoot the raider down. As a result the Royal Fly. ing Corps flying such ''crates" as Spads, Nieuports, Camels and De- Havilands, soon made the losses of the expensive zeppeltns SO un- profitable for Germany that they stopped coming over. Incidentally, it was against the night-flying zeppelins that the first night fighter defense operations was evolved. These night fighters proved successful against the bulky slow-moving zeppelins And the ! men who flew the flimay 1915 rnaanl nlmnna wnrn hnrnna in mVnrN

NURSES ARRANGE
 VALLEY SURVEY
New Maternal Care Denl- Onstration Program to
 Be Started

The demonstration nursing pro- gram which has been carried on in Windham County for five years by public health nurses of the Bureau of Child Hygiene of the State De- partment of Health was especially successful In increasing medical and nursing care for eXpectatn mothers in that section, the monthly bulletin of the department reports. A new demonstration area has been select ed in the Naugatuck Valley where these nurses are conducting 3 pre- liminary survey to secure informa. ton on the prenatal care obtained by mothers delivered during the period, March 1 to July l, 1e4l.
 While the Naugatuck Valley pro- gram will be similar to that devel. oped in Windham County, more er1l- phasis is to be placed on generalized nursing services for towns not hav- ing a public health nurse, the bull letin says. The maternal health demonstration is to be carried on in cooperation with local public health nursing associations, physicians and hospital services. Glasses for ex- pectant mothers will be organized and the importance of early medical care stressed. Towns included in the initial Naugatuck Valley survey are Monroe, Shelton, Ansonia, Derby, Seymour, oxford, Prospect, South. bury, Beacon Falls Bethany and Naugatuck.

Gas Mask Filter
Used in Footwear

A gas mask and woman's shoes
are two very different themes we
admit and it has been left to science
to relate them. And here's how!
Since the war and the necessity for
personal protection came expert
ments and improvements on the gas
mask of 1914-1918. Inventors took
old gas masks apart, put new ones
together, substituting, adding and
perfecting with the result new
filter has been developed
Since then it has been discov-
cred that when specially treated this
filter was found to have the quail
ties which make an ideal medium
for innersoles. So now you can get
shoes, by making known your wants
to your salesperson, with "insole-
ated" innersoles that actually do re-
lieve burning feet" the ailment
generally conceded to be the cause
of foot fatigue and the many foot
ills following it.
Something that would establish
normal foot temperature would &C.
complish the cure, doctors said, and
onco-insole-ated does just that. This
new comfort-giving sole which new
est smartly styled shoes have also
acts as a shock absorber and is
nodded with first wearing to the in
dividual contours of the foot.
The fact that insulation is put to
good use in shoe as well as gas
mask construction is just one more
indication of American ingenuity. It
gives us one more reason for being
glad to be Americans in that our
women are buying shoes for the
protection of feet instead of gas
masks for the protection of life.

garments and accessories in tempt
ing array. Modern science has per-
formed miracles in leather process
ing until suedes nowadays are as
supple and workable as any fabric,
and their colors are incredibly beau

Suede is comfortably wearable at
any season of the year, but for mid
season and early spring it is simply
ideal. Light in weight yet dependa-
bly, protective, no wonder that suede
has become the darling" of fash
ion. Women are coming to know
more and more that there is no
type of garment that fits better into
all year-round wear than beautiful
soft suede with its persuasive col
ors and its caressing "feel."
There's luxury, there's chic,
there's practically in coat with
turban, gloves and bag made all of
suede as worn by Dorothy Lamour

fashion this season.. Note the inter-

Uncle came-the parrot dumb.
Bert seized the bird by the

roared.
And when silence continued he
twisted the birds neck and threw
it into the fowl pen.
Queer squawks drew him to the
