Bombs falling on her great cities
have brought to Japan at last a
beautifully timed reminder that
total war is not all banzais and
lantern parades.
For 1917 years she has been
dealing out death and terror to
other cities of the Orient, from
Chinchow in Manchuria back in
October. 1881, down through Shang-
hal, Nanking. Chungking, Manila,
Singapore, Batavia, Rangoon and
Mandalay. a tragic score.
Now for the first time in her his
tory comes the test of her ability
to take it.
1t appears safe to accept the main
outlines of the raid as told in Japa-
nese communiques: That planes
bearing American insignia raided
Toxic and Yokohama just after
noon today and two hours later
bombed Nagoya and Kobe.
Domei Untrustworthy.
We can discount many Of the
details and at least reserve judg-
ment on the Domei accounts of
Tokio's 1000 900 people going calmly
about their business while the
bombs were falling.
But there seems little reason to
doubt that United States planes
launched from one or more of a
dozen possible points, land bases or
aircraft carriers, along an arc from
the Aleutians through the Eastern
Pacific to the Philippines and China
struck at Japan at the moment
her feeling of triumph and well
being was highest.
They appeared over Toxic Just as
the capital was beginning its cherry
blossom week end, the gayest period
of the year.

Ammo Domini, dating according
to the birth of Christ, began with the
monk Dionysius Exiguus about 532.
It's use spread slowly until Charlie
magne sanctioned it in 879. 1t was
then adopted into legal formulas as
well as religious ones since Latin
was the common legal language I'M
til the Sixteenth century and so
came gradually into universal use.
The form, Before Christ, was natu-
raj way of referring to historical
events which had happened before
the advent of Christ. Every lam
guage had its own equivalent, FIR.
avant Jesus Christ, Lat. ante Chris
turn, etc. 1t was never used for
current dating in daily life, in wills
nor in proclamations, so that it is
in that sense an artificial form Gre
ated for historical references.

Cement Making Advances

Great advances have been made
in cement making since 1924, when
England granted patent for port
land cement to Joseph Aspdin, a
bricklayer of Leeds. The cement
was named from its resemblance to
the stone of the Isle of Portland, a
rocky limestone peninsula on the
southern coast of England. Aspdin
built bottle-shaped kiln at Wake
field, 10 miles from Leeds, where he
fired a mixture of finely ground
limestone and clay. This early &C.
ment was used in building the
Thames tunnel in 1928.
Cement is used solely as bind
ing material, just as mortar is used
as a bond in laying bricks, says the
National Geographic society. In
concrete the cement binds the par
ticles of gravel and sand together.
Today the limestone is crushed by
large gyratory or roll crushers,
mixed with the other raw materials
and then pulverized. This mixture
is put into cylindrical kilns roasted
at a temperature of from 2,400 to
$500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Funny Battle Names

If you think the ''battle of the
herrings' was great naval engage
ment, or that the ''pig war" was a
matter of barnyard politics, you are
mistaken. The ''battle of the her.
rings was fought in the Fifteenth
century between English and French
forces when the latter were besieg-
ing the French city of Orleans, says
the National Geographic society.
The fish name was given to the bat
tie because the English were at
tempting to transport Lenten sup
plies of herring to their troops when
the French intercepted them. AS to
the .spig war;" this term has been
applied to the tariff struggle between
Austria and Serbia in the early 1905,
arising out Of differences concerning
The export Of Serbian pigs across
Austrian territory.

Yellow traffic markings on streets
and highways also are on their way
out. Emergency specifications that

Belt Like Sam Browne
Type Worn in Crusades

Officially, it's known as the Of
ficers Belt M-1921.
Commonly, it's known as the Sam
Browne belt. But actually, it's
equipment as old as the military pro-
fession; this belt worn by army of
ficers. The belt, adopted by our
army during the World war and APP
proved by Gen. John j. Pershing
when he was chief of staff, derives
its name from Gen. Sir Samuel
Browne, an English officer who
served in the early campaigns in
India. Having lost an arm in battle,
he devised the belt so that he might
carry his equipment despite his
handicap.
A similar belt was issued to the
United States army during the peri
cd 1355-1858. This belt was used not
by officers, but by enlisted men of
the light artillery and the mounted
rifles. Similar belts were worn by
British soldiers during the Revolt
tionary war.
But centuries before this, a belt
of this type was carried by the Cru
saders, who carried their battle ak
on one side and their mace on the
other.
Recently the war department au-
thorized officers to wear either the
Sam Browne belt or a cloth belt.
The leather belt may be removed
when indoors.

Hang Spider Webs From
Army Barrage Balloons

CAMP DAVIS, N. C.-Giant steel
"spider webs" which will be strung
by barrage balloons to protect vital
areas in the United States against
air attacks are being developed by
experiments at the nations first bar
rage balloon training center and
school here.
The balloon barriers average 30
feet in length and IS feet in diameter,
are anchored by small steel cables,
and are inflated with several thou
sand cubic feet of gas. They are
designed for defense not for attack.
They are made of a synthetic rub
berized material, neoprene.
Most major item in the balloon
barrage setup is the steel cable sus-
pended in the air by the balloons. The
cable is intended to prevent enemy
planes from accurately bombing a
vital military objective.
Under modern tactics the balloons
can be moved around under urgent
conditions. Some are operated
from special truck equipped with
a gasoline engine and winch to
coil the balloons cable.
First tests with the balloons were
made at Camp Davis June rs. The
first barrage school in the army's
history was graduated in September.
The new branch has been put I'M
der the coast artillery corps.
The entire unit will probably be
moved to a permanent home at
Camp Tyson, near Paris, Tenn.
