Invisible weapons might include: a six-inch lady's hatpin, or a wrist knife strapped to the wrist with the hilt downwards; a knife hung around the neck; a small revolver held up the sleeve by rubber bands; a stiletto with a nine-inch blade. Other useful weapons : a hammer, cheese-cutters (wires with wooden handles, handy for garroting) ; a handkerchief with a fistful of sand in it. Besides blankets, extra socks, binoculars, rifles, burnt cork to blacken the face, etc., an important part of the equipment is 25 to 30 yards of fishline.

"Hang Mills bombs on doors so that they explode when the doors are opened. Put one in the refrigerator. . . ." In Tillamook, Ore., last week, residents were organizing a Guerrilla Club. Chief organizer: Stewart P. Arnold, blind vet eran of World War I.
