SMASH AND GRAB
(Press. Assn.—
SCIENTIFIC PRECAUTIONS DESIGNED TO FOIL THIEVES
-By Telegraph— Copyriglit).
LONDON, Thursday. An impressive demonstration as to how science can defeat "smash and grab" shop raiders was given by^ a conference of the National Association of Goldsmiths at Southend. A delegate hurled a heavy iron motor jack through the plate glass window of a dummy shop front and immediately a siren screeched so that it couid be heard half a mile away, a gas bomb exploded, a smoke bomb burst- and a steel blind snapped across the window. This was operated by an invisible fay. Thus can gems be saved from the clutching hand of a bandit.
