OUCH!

By Walt Disney.

We've Got Secret

Weapons,

WISH some of the care-

less talk I hear could get to Hitler's ears. 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 talking.

very soon now I should imagine. Robert says #O. 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 nów. It doesn't shoot a shell or bul- let or anything like that. It's too wonderful I believe. It Ares 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-s0,"

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,"

"Yes, you can

WAS in a London pub one

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

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

The suspense grew with every note of the song, the civilians kept on looking to see how the soldiers would re- act. And the soldiers, un- comfortabic, kept on looking at one another.

what the people really aro do- ing in the streets, because, they won't be able to see the plane at all-only the engine

because John says the man told him that they can't make an invisible engine yet. But even if the Germans do sec an engine floating about the sky, it seems they'll know it isn't possible, and they'll not be- lieve it, and think it's because they've spots in front of their eyes, with that ersatz food they have to eat."

Her friend nodded. "I should think Hitler will be simply livid when he finds out, because if there's one thing

plenty of rope and too much 18. I'm told the real ren 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,- 1 say?"

"You're quite right, dear. George was only saying this -morning they'll soon be a thing of the past. He knowa a man on the railway, or it might be in the Civil Service. I forget which. Anyway, he hus 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."

"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?

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

And she was anying that on the const 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, darling?"
