German Double Thrust
 For Kiev Has Started
Continued from Page 1)

Residents along the Dover coast stalI from their sleep early this morning when, with 8 roar like thunder, British bombs began ex- ploding along the French coast be- tween Calais and Boulogne. Sleep was impossible and thousands, be- cause today was the August bank holiday, and they did not have 10 work, got up and stood at windows or along the cliffs to watch the spectacle.
 Clouds obscured the moon when the attack opened. United Press observers along the coast first knew of the raid when two flares sud- denly blazed, and the bombs start ed crashing.
 German anti-aircraft guns burst into fire. The English coast be- gan to shake under the blast of bombs across the Strait. For 20 miles along the French coast the sky was filled with stapbing lights as hundreds of German shells burst. The roars of great bombs were evidence that despite the fire the oAAI1SA4 PAaAACo PASooS0 NAAOA "V tack.
 New Searchlight
 As the raid assumed big scale the greatest searchlight yet see on the invasion coast stabbed the sky with its beam. The light was so powerful it threws its rays half way across the Straits when it was pointed horizontally.
 Only a few German planes raid. ed Britain during the night. They dropped bombs at scattered points chiefly at one point in northeast. ern England where there were some fatal casualties and several homes were demolished. A few bombs had been dropped along the southeast coast yesterday after noon.
 Sunday mornings raid on Berlin was made by four motored ane two motored bombers. The Ali Ministry said the attack was tn, second heaviest of the entire wal and that bombs of the largest Sizt and most terrific destructive pow. CT were dropped on the heart o. the city.
 "Berlin,s winter began in earnest last night, for there were already enough hours of darkness to bring 8 really strong force of four and two-motored bombers over the Gar man capital" an Air Ministry com munique said.

Solve Charcoal Shortage

New Haven, Conn.,, Aug. E(UP) A portable metal charcoal kiln, developed at the Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station, may solve the problem of charcoal shortage in the state and provide an outlet for low-grade native forest wood, it was announced today.
 The use of charcoal in defense industries has caused the price to rise from 18 to 28 cents 8 bushel, wholesale, in the past six months. Connecticut tobacco growers use ap- proximately 300,0 900 bushels year in curing their crops, and probably an equal amount is sold for other pur- poses. Formerly this market was supplied with byproduct charcoal from Pennsylvania, but there are now other important industries with first rights to the output.
 For the past year and & half, Henry w. Hicock and A. R. Olson of the station staff worked on de- signing portable metal kiln that can be used on Connecticut farms. Their plan was to find outlets for low-grade forest wood of this state. The new kiln is designed, with notifications, after the chimney kilnS used in Sweden, Hicock said. A farmer could make one of brick if he did not require the movable type.
 The metal kiln can be taken from place to place and set up in a for ested section where wood can be brought from the surrounding coun- try. Tn cooperation with the state forestry department, the kiln has been built and tested at Portland and has proved practical, Hicock reported.
