Return to Medieval rlmoa.

Soldiers of Europe are taking up the
methods OF offense and defense used
in the wars of medieval times. The
hand grenados, catapults, river of
flaming oil, mines and barricades are
only few of the old.time means re.
vived.
Now armor is being used by the sol.
diors in protecting themselves from
shrapnel and shell fire. These fight
ers often must show themselves in
exposed positions when scaling the
mountains in making detours to avoid
fortified roads. The soldier not only
wears a heavy helmet with a steel
breastplate, but he also is well pro-
tected from the weather by heavy
knitted scarf which almost entirely
covers his head.

Chief Healey Tuesday gave an
swer to A. P. BIakesIee, 5946 Indiana

which established a zone of quiet in
front of his house because the baby
next door was at deaths door.
Blakeslee was Inconvenience so
much that he would have to drive his
auto into the garage through the
alley, instead of from the front of
the house. He tried to get the zone
of quiet order revoked. He said the
'baby was not i'll, that its father owed
four months rent and was saying
the baby was i'll to escape payment.
The landlord says the baby's dad
is not back in the rent, the health
dept investigated and found the
baby very i'll and the mayor has re-
fused to revoke the zone of quiet or
der. Chief Healey today ordered
Capt. LAWN to put a special police
man on guard III front Of the sick
baby's house to see that Blakeslee
does not violate the quiet zone order
