some of the trophies they send
home are dangerous.
There was. for instance, the
case of the reading lamp. 1t
was quite beautiful lamp,
fashioned from several large

base of the brass ornament was
enough powder TO blow up
whole family.
Scores of veritable BOBBY

service men in war theaters, re-

He ordered the confiscation of
such items as Japanese ma

bullets and delayed-action gren-
