OUCH!

We've Got Secret

Weapons,

WISH some of the care- less talk I hear could get to Hitler's cars. It would give him the shock of his life. He might believe it, and if he believed only half of it, it might be amusing.

Frequently at my hour of the day I am the only male passenger in the bus to town, which is packed with women.

The two behind me are talking.

very soon now should imagine. Robert says so. He's on the Exchange you know dear, of course he gets to know things.

"He says we've got a sim- ply staggering new gun now. It doesn't shoot a shell or bul- let or anything like that. It's too wonderful I believe. It fires a

vacuum, I think he 'said, or something like that. Anyway, I know nothing can live in one, or Nature doesn't like it, whatever it is. I do re- member that. And Robert says that's just where we fox them. We fire the vacuum thing when there's a raid on,. and up it goes, and they don't know it's coming because they can't see it, and nothing can live in it, and so the Nazi sim- ply fades out, my dear. Just like that. Terribly simple, don't you think? But Robert says all simple things are really clever, or the other way about, I forget which. But it absolutely is so."

She had to pause in order to breathe and her companion simply leapt in.

"I know. I know. John was only telling me the other day, that a man he met on the train was saying that we've got an invisible 'plane nearly ready..

**Really."

WAS in a London pub one

night recently when the radio began to blare out "Deutschland uber Alles."

It was a noisy, chattering bar till this happened. But at once 'the conversation faded.

The suspense grow with every note of the song, the civiliana kept on looking to see how the soldiers would re- net. And the soldiers, un- comfortable, kept on looking

at one another.

Suddenly a voice called from one corner of the room. Its accent was an obvious burlesque of what you might call the Eton-and-Sandhurst. accent.

It called "I say,

WOMAN takes her place

in the vacant sent beside me. It appears she knows the two women in front.

"Hel-lo there," she cries, "but how odd-you of all people. I haven't seen you since that frightful day when the balloon got loose. Do you remember?

"Rather. There's a new one, you know. Never up, though. I asked one of the men if they were short of rope one day. Poor dear couldn't Bee 8 joke. Said they'd

Everybody turned to see a middle-aged civilian address- ing the main group of officers.

Then he said: "I say, why Aren't you fellows STANDING AT ATTEN TION?"

The whole bar burst into laughter. By the time it was over the German National An- them was over as well.

OW I ask you

Is

N there any other country

in the world where such a thing could have happened?

German soldiers would have wrecked the bar or ar-, rested the landlord or some- thing.'

But In this London bar the whole thing was turned into joke, but at least it was some- n joke. It wasn't a very good

thing to laugh at...

And that's what the British people are doing to-day laughing all they can. That's" because they know that if we are going to be free to live,

plenty of rope and too much gua. I'm told the real rea- son they keep it down is be- cause if they let it up it might attract the German 'planes, But why have one at all, I say?"

"You're quite right, dear. George was only saying this morning they'll soon be a thing of the past.. He knows a man on the railway, or it, might be in the Civil Service. I forget which. Anyway, he has something to do with the Government, or has he? Any- way, he was saying, this In- come Tax man, that's what he was, that we've got some sort of a ray that does away with gravity or something."

"Anyway, what this Foreign Office man, or whatever he is, said was that if they took away gravity there'd absolute- ly be, nothing at all to keep the German' down; if you under- stand. He would actually go flying up and up to Heaven knows where, and as they don't bring much food with them they'd simply starve to death. And all the bombs would go up and up into the stratoscope or hemisphere, I never can remember which. Anyway, I know it would be. simply splendid and all be over in less than no time, this Secret Service man says.'"

HE bright young woman in front nodded. She hadn't been listening.

She'd been waiting, and now she burst in: "I had a note from Rachael the other day. She's secretary to

And she was saying that on the coast we'd found a way to freeze the sea, and if Hitler did try to invade us, they'd simply wait until the Nazis got near the beach and then they'd freeze the sea, and there they would be all stuck in the ice, my dear, and they'd simply be mown down. I mean imagine it. Goering and Hitler all screaming their heads off in the ice; and dear Mr Churchill on the beach waving his cigar at them. I think it's too splendid, don't you, durling
