great quantities would divert the en-
ergies of great number of skilled
workmen now making other war ma
terials. But the seYerest tests have
shown that many lives could be
saved and many hospital cases
averted by protective plates.
The case of the tin hat showed
how gratefully the army takes to ev-
cry innovation of practical value in
saving lives. The helmet by now has
prevented head wounds by the thou
sand, many of which would have
been fatal. For good measure the
curved brim has warded off many
shoulder or body wounds by deflect-
ing shrapnel pellets and shell frag-
ments Dozens of battered helmets,
pierced by bullets and chunks of met
al, may be seen rusting in the she'll
holes after an advance but the in
ventors never claimed the hat would
stop everything.
If the army council ever decides to
adopt armor for the men there is
no question that the men will wear
it, though reluctantly at first. DR..
c. w. Caleeby inventor of the he'll
met, may again become the Tomnys
friend if the council takes this step.
He recently submitted a shrapnel-
proof jacket which has passed sew
eral tests.
Some Fibre Shields Made.
Another inventor got around the
weight difficulty by making a fibre
shield. This is something like
war time sea passengers life belt,
stuffed with light flexible material.
A machine-gun bullet may pierce the
hide of the jacket and raise a pain
full welt on the wearer's chest but
the tests show that the bullet gets
stuck in Ihe fibre and docs not 60
through.
The designers recognize the I'm
portance of shielding the lower por-
tions of the body.
No inventor has yet been able 70
make mask or visor strong enough
to protect the face and eyes against
bullet at short range. The chain
visor of fine steel meshes. slightly
distended just before the eye-balls
has been more satisfactory than any
of the others. 1t will fend off small
shell fragments and chunks of hand
grenade, however. and these missiles
have caused many cases Of total
blindness in the three years of war.

Abusing Free Speech.

Before our nation enters war if is perfectly proper to discuss the wisdom of going to war, but the dis cussion is closed when Congress acts. After that. no one should be permitted to cloak attacks upon his government or aid to the enemy under the claim that he is eXercis- ing freedom of speech. No sympa- thy, therefore, will be wasted upon those who have been arrested for unpatriotic uttcrances. They abuse free speech. And this applies to at lacks on the Allies as well as to at tacks upon the United States We ran no more allow our allies to be crushed than we can afford to be crushed ourselves. The defeat of our allies would throw tie whole burden Of the war upon us. We must stand together and fight il thru.

THREATENING BELGIAN STALLION.

CT than money. This trophy need not necessarily be expensive. It should, however, be something lasting, to which the holder can point with pride. Any breeder would be glad to possess something of this kind, the true value of which is in what it represents.
 The securing of competent men to act as judges is an important consider alton. This problem probably can be solved comparatively easily by taking up the matter with the animal hus- bandry division of the state agricu- tural college or with the stallion reg istration board. Either of these bodies probably will be willing to cooperate with the local committee and furnish efficient judges for the show.
 Improvement in Quality.
 When once established, it will be found that the annual colt show will do much to bring about an improvement in the quality of the horses raised in the community. These exhibitions, held preferably at the county seat, will afford possible prospective buyers an opportunity to learn something of the class of horses being produced in the locality, and the community will thus be benefited by the fact that it will eventually have established itself as a market for horses that will readily sell at good prices.
 There is every reason to believe that the practice of holding annual colt shows will become more general. The fact that they have increased consid- erably in the past few years is evidence that they have not only proved popular but profitable as well.
 The movement through the country today is not for more horses, but rather for better horses. Whatever the fu- ture demand may be, the man raising the better class of horses will receive the higher price.
