These are Nazi Planes ONE TOUCH ON THE BUTTON.
The British Government is issuing these plans of German planos so that the public may learn to recognise them,

Distinctive features: Fuur engines, love wing, duple rudder, tapered wing,, rounded wing tips and tall plane, retractable undercarriage, smooth streamlined fuselage.

RECENT article gave an account of the organisa-. tion of a certain L.D.V. platoon in a country district. Here are two other sugges- tions to the villages of Great Britain for their defence against air-attack-this time, their civil defence.

For those who live in areas have got to realise that no centralised AR.P. scheme, how- ever well devised, can serve so completely as it can serve a more thickly populated area.
That is because of the vital factor of time.
It may take the Bre-engine or the ambulance half an hour to Arrive, at the very lenst; and in balf an hour a fire may gain a fatal hold on a whole village: and women can bleed to death.
MANY villages have already their voluntary dressing stations and stretcher parties; and if these have been properly or ganised and practised, well and good but to those villages who have not got them It cannot be urged too strongly that they be organised at once.
Remember that if there is one casualty in a village from air at- tack there will likely enough be a dozen or more: so make your plans necordingly, don't base them on the pence-lime likelihood of a Bingle accident at a time.
Practise your stretcher drill Know:beforehand, where your dressingsinlion la to be. Know where you can get blankets and hot water if need, helses: Get the

a matter of seconds this British bomber will be over
its objective. The man at the bomb sights is ready for ac- tion; see the thumb of his right hand there on the press- button control, like the bell- push you have beside your bed when you are in hospital.
The moment he pushes that little button his bomb lond is instantly released--maybe one bomb: maybe two or three at once. And that's where the bomber pilot has to be on the alert. Itis
machine carries anything up to 18cwi. of bombs distributed evenly un- der the wing on either side of the fuselage. You've Been probably in a big hull or a cinema a control panel carry- ing perhaps a dozen electric light switches. It's a panel like that which the pilot has 10 watch in releasing his bombs,

The raid works this way. The pilot (top back in Artist Haworth's sketch) is in com- plete and constant telephonic touch with his man at the bombsights (in the fore- ground). This man sees their target moving slowly into range. Warns the pilot how few they're progressing, a more thousand yards.and that will do it. The pilot pulla a lever in his cockpit: lets down the bomb doors. Now comes the switchboard. He'll let the Nazis have three to be going on with. Down go bomb switches 1, 3, and 5.
THAT incans those three bombs
only those three-are ready for release. He gives the O.K. to the man at the sights. It's up to him now. When ho presses that button with his right thumb away they go, and up lurches the plane. The pilot has to be ready for that. A tricky business,

The famous author of "High Wind in Ho Jamaica" lives in a small English village. describes here what such small villages should do in preparation for the blitzkrieg. local carpenter to make strelchers and splints now, and (if you can- not afford to lay in a large supply of bandogra and dressings) at least ask the local chemist to make sure that his own reserves would eover an einergency.

NEWER villages, however, are properly organised to resist fire. Yet Bre is one of the greatest dangers the village has to fave: nnd it is one in which pre- paredness can be of the greatest value. For speed is the first essen- tial in Ore-flghting: it counis be- fave every other factor.
A bucket of water, properly applied in the first five minutes, can do more to save the village from burning down than a whole city fire brigade arriving an hour Jaterl
In the large village where I live, we organised five "Fire Watcher Partics (each equipped with four buckets and a stirrup-pump) as long agons September 9 of last own section of
year.
Each party its own the village to look after; but a messenger system has also been thoroughly practised, and by it any number of parties can be concen trated on one fire (or transferred It a new one breaks out) by orders from the Wardens' Post
FOR smaller villages, per-

hops, nothing quite elaborate is necessary. But there should not be a village in the country without one or two such parties: and I cannot urge too strongly that some responsible per- son in every village should buy ARP.

Only a little common sense is needed to adapt the "Fire Watcher Parties," there envisaged 'for fac- tories and institutions, to villoge needs.
In these pages, too, will be found all information essential to the training of the amateur village Are- man. Verbal instruction by pro- fessionals (though valuable where It can be had) is not really neces- sary

Work out, moreover, a messenger. system in conjunction with your ARP wordens and stretcher-par- ties: for when the time comes you will all have to work together, And take this as your village motto: GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES
The whole success of the raid depends on this man's calculations, The pilot follows his directions word by word.
First they must steady the plane as much as anti-aircraft shells and searchlights and Nazi Aghiera (if any) will allow. Then the mon at the sights sets the scale A, and the speed by height of the plane on the screw C. Next he adjusts the screw on the wind-speed bar and the foresight F is brought into correct position.
O far so good. Now the tail drift must be calculated and the tall-drift bar, just below the letter F, has also to be set. All the while the bomb man is watching his compass E and guiding the pilot accordingly.
One further check-up through backsight B and foresight F, and then the instant the target appears bétween the two arrows G home goes that right thumb on the but- ton and away go the bombs.
If all the calculations have been correct, they're dead on the mark.

Chaplin !
CHARLES CHAPLIN has ob- tained an injunction against the distribution of 2,200,000 copies of "Life" magazine, which con- a him as The Dictator," not yet au- thorised for publication.
Now what about the man at the slghts? Let us look nt him and his job in detall. He is now lying full length on the floor adjusting his sighting apparatus 38 he watches the target through the safety-glass window below him.

Judge Knox granted the injunction after the comedian brought a suit for £20,000 agcirst the publishers. The judge ruled that 1,000,000 copies of the magazine already in the hands of newsagents might be sold, but the rest, printed but unshipped, must be scrapped.
Chaplin's case was that the photo- graph would interfere with the pro- Ats of the forthcoming Alm "The Dictator" by premature exploitation of the central character.
