New French Army Helmet.

Slxty-four operations are necessary
in making one of the steel helmets
that the French soldiers wear. The
first step, says PearsOn's Magazine, Is
stamping out disks from great sheets
of steel. A machine that exerts pres
sure of one hundred and fifty tons,
and can cut out 5000 disks day,
does that work.
Each disk is placed under n shap-
ing machine, which presses the disk
into the form of a helmet with n
broad rim. Polishing and cutting ma
chimes remove all Irregularities in the
helmet, after which holes are punched
in the crown-some for ventilation
purposes, others for fastening on the
reglmental crest.
Each helmet is cleaned and dipped
in special mixture that makes it a
dull, inconspicuous blush gray. A
lining and leather chin straps nre
then fastened on, and the helmet is
complete. Since the French troops
have begun to wear, helmets the num-
ber of deaths from wounds in the
head has decreased to remarkable
extent.

OCCASION"

himself for life with the sublime or
der of bachelorhood.
But to all this she merely cast down
her eyes demurely and asked him to
wait awhile.
A score and one-half years had come
her 31st birthday approached John,
who had schemed until his hair was
beginning to fall out, decided on a
bold stroke.
That night he sat with her on the
front porch, after the family had re-
tired. Over them a dim light shining
from the parlor window cast pale
glow. John sat quietly waiting for the
silence he depended on for the fur
therance of his plan.
After awhile 1t came, and then,
when the stiffness had locked the
night in its embrace, he began to hum,
Silver Threads Among the Cold"
When he had ceased, tears stood in
his eyes.
He drew his chair closer to hers,
reached out for her hand again and
asked her to become his wife. But
1t was the same old prosaic answer.
"Wait awhile, john" she insisted.
wait awhile. Do something grand.
Show me that you can rise to the oc-
casion."
Rise to the occasion, he would. He
resolved that firmly as he stood up
forthwith and bade her goodnight. He
resolved 1t all the way home. The
next morning he still resolved 1t. But
how?
A happy thought struck him. John
had a penchant for happy thoughts.
He would make speech at Fourth
of July celebration. It would be 80
grand and so eloquent, couched in
such rich expressions and so laden
with noble sentiment that she could
not help but feel the appeal. He would
show her that he could rise to the
occasion"
John got out his old school diction-
ary and brushed the dust from its COW
ers. Then he borrowed an immense
volume Of masterpiece orations from
a friend and read every speech he
could flnd that contained any patriotic
reference or expression.
For four weeks he labored almost
necessarily, night and day. on his ef-

TNHE United States doesn't need COM

present for the most expert crown-polish-
err; but the President does need good
man to mend his shoes. Mr.. f. Sumner
has held that job since Mckinley's time.
Colonel Roosevelt was the best Gus
toner MIR. Sumner ever had-he wonders
if the Oyster Bay specialist can supply
him with his needs: for Teddy thought
nothing of starting out on ramble that
used up even Secret Service men-not to
speak of shoes. Bright, cheerful tan ones
We're the kind he preferred, though they
didn't take so much leather as Mr.. Taft's.
President Wilson wears the lghtest weight
of any President he has met. Mr.. Sumner
feels deeply his responsibility; for, when
any crisis in national affairs arises, MIR.
Wilson doesn't call any meetings, but
instead takes walk by himself. And, of
course, if his shoes pinched or his shoe
string burst, he might forget his bet
