Army PhysicaI. Test.

The recommendation of the gen.
eral staff officers that have been con-
sidering the proposal to abolish the
90-mile annual test ride now are be-
fore the chief Of staff awaiting his
action. 1t is recommended that
the annual ride be discontinued and
that officers, instead, be required to
make 20-mile horseback ride or a
10-mile walk in one day every
month. The proposed 10-mile walk
for army officers Is similar to that
now exacted of officers of the navy
and marine corps. Those advocating
the change in the army believe that
the proposed new requirements will
be conducive to satisfactory physical
condition in that the exercise is dis
tributed through the year, instead of
being concentrated in a single su.
preme annual effort to keep up with
the pace. The annual physical exam
ination will be retained as means of

WORK OF SURGEONS IN WAR
Prevention Of Disease and the Cure Of
Wounds Has Been Something
Marvellous.

No phase of human activity and
progress has been further developed,
perhaps, than the work of medicine
and surgery during this great war.
Doctor Beaumont Of the White Star
line, tells the New York Times that af-
ter three months tour of base hos
pitals In Great Britain he finds that
surgery has become more conserva-
tive through the use of the X-ray So

Vulnerable cases. incubation against
typhoid fever is also practiced. There
have not been three dozen cases OF
enteric among the British in this war.
while in the Boer war there were
thousands. The greater number of the
dangerous wounds are caused by
shrapnel and high explosives and not
by rifle bullets, which pass clean
through and do little harm unless they
strike vital part. Doctor Carrel and
Doctor Dakin together have discovered
a new antiseptic which seems little
short of marvellous in its action. One
Of the most valuable lessons of the
war was the discovery Of the wonder

lime and boric acid to hypochlorite Of
lime, overcoming the objections to the
latter. Only q few months ago two
French physicians discovered poly.

"a combination of several serums
against different varieties of bacteria"
Recent news is that most gratifying
results have followed the use of this
serum. The British Medical Journal
says that Americans show faint appre-
citation of their medical discoverers.
It cites our hall of fame, where poll
ticians head the roll, with authors next
and fiction writer's at the head of them.
This fact is emphasized. the New York
Sun thinks, by the reflection that the
name of Morton, the American discov-
erer of anesthesia. is probably not SO
well known as the names of a thousand
mediocrities.

Tho Noble Guards of Italy.

The noble guards, who have lost
their commander, Prince Camille Ros-
pigliosi, were drawn exclusively from
the Roman aristocracy until about
two years ago, when Plus X sane
toned the acceptance of recruits from
any country. provided they were
Catholics and could show the neces-
sary number of quarterings. Their
uniform-black tunic with gold epau-
let's, dark blue trousers and a gold
crested helmet-forms striking con-
trast to the medieval attire of the
Swiss guards, of which the most no.
ticeable features are the enormous
breeches and striped stockings. Noble
guards and Palatine guards, who are
a sort of papal militia, furnish daily
picket for the antechamber of the
pope. For other police duties there
are the papal carabinieri. whom the
stranger meets at every corner of the
Vatican. Altogether the papal army
numbers about 600 men.

OF all the strange inventions which
this war has brought out, none Is
stranger than the uniform which is
shown in the picture. At night. in the
darkness of the trenches. the officers
don these phantom uniforms and
walk about in the open to inspect the
lines. This they can do without fear
on account of the dress which makes
them practically invisible because OF
the black material of which 1t is made.
Two holes through which the wearer
can see and another hole through
which he can breathe are cut into the
hood.

Bird Cages the Newport Fad.

The appearance at Newport OF
young women carrying small wicker
bird cages is getting to be daily c.
currence. The desire to do something
different" has perhaps as much as
anything else to do with the promo

ever the basis may be, the public
appearance of Miss Society ard

to be almost part of the daily rou-
tine. So, If you happen to see taste
