When Bombs Fall

in their mail boxes during the n-st two
weeks Of the war.
It Is q good idea to know beforehand
just where you'll 60 II your house u
bombed. A more fortunate friend or
relative down the street will offer tenn
porary shelter In time Of stress. Your
life is in less danger than your home.
The English found fatalities were . crest
deal less than anticipated, but property
damage was far In excess Of expectation
There's nothing to do about a direct
hit on your house, but you can keep an
eye out for incendiaries on the root. II
probably will be the target for planes
coming over with explosive bombs. That's
why England's national fremen are 20
gallant. Every fire they fight Is target
for bombs These firemen say they
aren't frightened because they keep busy
and the noise Of the blaze browns out
the scary noise Of the attacking planes.
If an incendiary lands on your house
you can be able to boot it OF into the
street. It may penetrate through to the
attic or even the top floor. Englishmen
keep buckets Of sand and water, the
latter equipped with stirrup pumps, In
handy places. Also they are required to
keep bathtubs full Of water at all times.
BY the way, get key to the vacant
house across the street. It'll save you
breaking in the door some night.
You man have in mind leaving your
house and going to place you think is

ing or house farther away from a mill.
tary objective, for instance. Your local
AFRAID warden can advise you. In Lon
don there's q feeling that buildings are
dangerous, except for modern, concrete
structures.
Over there some men, particularly In
provincial towns, say they'd rather be on
top Of building when it Is hit, and take
q chance in falling down with the struc-
ture, than be inside, and run the risk OF
being buried under the collapsing bricks
and timbers. It Is depressing to see de-
molition workers digging for days after
raid, In search Of buried victims.
Some prefer lying fiat on the ground
In the middle OF park. About the only
danger there Is q direct hit.
Deep 100 or 100 feet) subway tunnels
are crowded over there. Even then dis
aster has struck when bombs slipped
squarely down entrances or broken
water mains have flooded the havens.
Londoners don't care for their own i'm
provised home shelters. Too damp and
uncomfortable for sleeping night after
night.
In one way, 1t might be q good idea
for lot Of Americans to congregate In
air-raid shelters. British found that
many shelterers will heed advice on
hygeine given by shelter doctors and
nurses, when they wouldn't at home.
That's one reason epidemics have been
curbed.
Be gregarious during . raid. Find
somebody to tremble with. Companion
ship Is the best medicine
All precautions are reasonable bat
there Is no place in . belligerent land
entirely free Of war hazards. One dark
night We found q country inn far from
Englands bombed areas. It was peaceful,

Hello Folks {:

Il
Life is becoming more strenuous
and exciting every day for the de-
Tense workers round these parts.
One couple l know, in particular,
says they don't know whether they
are coming or going. The wife
works all night and the husband all
day, so they have a few minutes to
talk to each other while one is eat
ing breakfast and the other eating
dinner. Many times this same cOu-
pie have had just time enough to
wave cordially to each other as they
pass in and out of the front gate.
So you see the soldiers in camp are
not the only ones who are hopping
around and trying to help Uncle
Sam. Whenever you see someone
jumping on a bus with a prominent
picture of himself stuck on the
lapel of his coat, you can rest as
sured he is one of Uncle Sans own
boys. -.
THISA & THATA:
Just heard a rumor that MARI
ANNE CARTER, who is out East,
may marry a Washington, D. C.
lad in the none-too-distant future.
-. A recent newcomer in town is,
WILLIAM WHITESIDE, Jr., of
Nashville, Tennessee who is visit
ing his aunt, MRS. JOSEPHINE
ESCUE of Mpls. Two nurses
from New York City are visiting
friends in st. Paul. They are the
Misses GOLDIE SHANNON and

past weekend visiting her aunt,
MRS. EVA MALLORY and fam
lily. Handsome BILL Nc

ing his parents in Mpls. &. . Glad to

ever genial JIMMIE SLEMMONS,

mite, too.
HAVE YOU HEARD?
That a club has been newly
formed round town called the
RAT CLUB" Its membership is
composed of married women whose
husbands are rats-in other words,
for membership or admittance in
this club all you have to have is a
ratty husband who stays out con-
stantly until the wee hours of the
morning and chases every other
woman he sees. IT'S said the club
membership is growing daily and

the attendance is so large that the
ladies are afraid they'll have to
rent a hall soon instead of meeting
at each others homes. The gals
have a fine time panning their hus-
bands at these meetings and they
are also busy formulating plans for
a complete RAT CURE" which
they plan to put in effect very soon.
(Beieve it or not, one of the new
members is a bride of only few
weeks. She hasn't much faith in
the Rat Cure" but she has hopes
and is keeping her fingers crOssed.)

We've had a few good times and
a bit of excitement since we have
been overseas. We will all have
tall tales to tell when we once
