MAKING ARMoR FOR
 MODERN WARFARE.
Worksop in Metropolitan Museum. New York City, Furnishes Models Copied From Ancient Pieces.

Perhaps the strangest workshop In the United States Is situated in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York city, where are being produced from pieces of ancient armor models to be adopted and copied for the use of soldiers of the United States Army. A famous French artisan Is in charge of the shop, which has been turned over to the Ordnance branch of the Army. '--
 Helmets, shields and breastplates will be made for our soldiers, inas- much as the war In Europe has brought back into use many discard rded weapons and practices of medieval times Hand-to-hand fighting has caused the adoption of heavy breast plates by the Germans and lighter breastplates by the English, while ar 4 Italians. All the armies employ steel helmets and trench shields
 Fortunately, the Metropolitan Mu- scum possesses one of the greatest collections of armor in the world. The workshop was established for the pur- pose of cleaning, repairing and re- storing the precious pieces assembled with greata care from, all parts of the world. It happened that included In the collection are 90 kinds of anviis and stakes" several hundred ham, mers of different types, and curious shears aand other instruments
 When the war began, the director of the museum, acting with the sanc- ton of the trustees, placed the de- partnent of armor at the disposal of the Secretary of War. Since then many designs have been carefully worked out by Mai Dean, formerly curator of the department of armor who went to France to study needs last autumn and since then has beer directing the adaptation of the mod els in accordance with suggestions made by Gen Pershing.
 Twenty-Five types of armor have been made 50 far, in the various fac tories, in lots varying from 100 tc many thousand pieces These armol defenses include arm and leg guards which are considered most important 1n view of the fact that hospital sta. tistics in France and England show that 40 per cent of hospital casualties suffered were leg wounds and 33 pei cent arm wounds

The first public application of ether as an agent for the relief of pain dur ing surgical operations was made at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston seventy-two years ago today, Oct. Is, 1846. Ether had been pre- viously used for this purpose, howev- CT, by a country doctor in Georgia, Crawford W. Long, who applied 1t in his private practice some time be- fore the public demonstration was made in the Boston hospital. Dr. Long is now generally credited with being the pioneer in this great work of humanity, but it was not until af- ter hs death that he gained the hon. or which rightfully belongs to him.
