FEW STEEL HELMETS USED
Type Selected by British Government
Condemned a. Unsuitable
In Service.

London.-Althoughi 1t Is quite q long
time since the war office became con-
WINGED that steel helmets are perhaps
the most useful detail in q soldiers
equipment and, notwithstanding the
French reported as the result Of their
experiences in the Champagne battles
that these headpieces made reduc-
ton in the casualties of almost ten
per cent, comparatively few are in use
by the British forces.
The delay is due, so 1t Is said, to the
number of types with which the British
war Office has been experimenting. The
one fixed upon at the outset, which is
still in use, has been condemned as I'M
suitable. It is too heavy and lacks the
necessary leather lining of the French
headgear, which is very serviceable,
and also very handsome. 1t is light
blue, to match the mems uniforms.
Every officer and soldier in the French
army wears the steel headpiece. In
the Verdun fighting General Petain is
never seen without his helmet.
The German military authorities
have been even more dilatory in pro-
viding this kind of protection for their
men than the British. 1t has been fur
nished in a few regiments, but the per-
centage of men using them is very
small.

is properly screened. He should keep
all the shades in proper order and see
that the windows work easily and

have a general knowledge of building

should not be MIXED before or soon

Drowning or Asphyxlation-

Baltimore, Md.-A departure in
medical science which, II successful.
will revolutionize the treatment Of
persons apparently dead from drown
ing or asphyxiation is now being ex-
perimented with at the Johns Hop
kins hospital.
The new treatment will be the in
lection of a serum to stimulate the
blood to such an extent as will form
a reaction of the heart. This will
keep the person alive until the appa-
ratus perfected some time ago to clear
the lungs can be put into use.
The serum has been tried on q num-
Der of animals in the laboratories of
the institution, and in q number of
cases has proved successful. How
ever. in most of the cases there have
been after-effects such as high blood
pressure or hardening of the arteries.
Dead Four Hours-Revives.
According to the physicians. If the
serum can be perfected, and there is
every assurance at this time that 1t
can, the serum can be injected in
the person several hours after the
accident and restore the persons to
life.
In one case, on an animal. the
serum was injected four hours after
the drowning took place and the ami
NAL was brought back to life. but

the land to an ideal state of filth to
minimize loss from rhizoctonia.
