Distaff Resistance

Inspired by tales of women helping to defend Russia, Mrs. Edward Frederick Boultbee, the wife of an air-raid warden in the village of Attleborough, Norfolk, last week edged up to an "invading" tank in British Army maneuvers, popped a rock into the open turret.

"You're dead!" she cried. "That was a bomb."

The tank commander said icily: "Madam, I'm not fighting women."

Said she: "Well, I'm fighting invaders."

The nearest umpire was summoned. He ruled the tank destroyed.
