R. GERALD DODSON, Old Bailey Recorder, held recently M

that a married man who went through a "marriage" at Gretna Green was guilty of bigamy even though he had not conformed with the twenty-one days' residential qualification.

Great Dangers'

By J. D. S. Alan

A floating mattress of balloons, covering London and adjoining lines of approach, rather than a ring of balloons, is the new application of the balloon barrage against enemy bombers.

The old technique of hanging wires from cables stretched between pairs of balloons has been superseded.

Each balloon will support only its own single cable.

Meanwhile, the anti-Japanese boy- cott movement has died down, chiefly because Communists and extreme Socialists were strongest, sun-

porters.

The old idea of a single "fence" round London would permit raiders to dive on to the city once the bar- rier had been passed,

The new nicthod diminishes two of the greatest dangers, These dangers were: That raiders would approach nt different levels between cloud layers, splitting up the defending formations into two, three, or even more search parties. That enemy bombers would fly so low that they could plant bomba accurately, baffling the ground de- fence and making it impossible for Aghters to employ dive and zoom tactics.

IN CLEAR AIR

Balloons cannot carry their mente ing cables to the substratosphere, but they can certainly shut off the air over London, to the top of ordinary weather, leaving the fighters to work in the clear air, say at 20,000.

The cables would be hard to spot in time to avold collision. It would be very difficult to thread a path from the outskirts to the heart of London without hitting Biem.
