SUSPENSION OF LECTURES
:
Eight Students ]: From Theolorical
Seminary Have. Done: SPLENDID
Work Here. !


The Episcopal Theological Seminary
was closed ;aast weekssir order that the
students :could render service to the
need Of those who were i'll of influenza
here and:elsewhere, thus relieving the.
nurses and others who have been lab
oring incessantly to minister to the
,ases during this serious crisis. Eight
Of the students, Messrs. Broden, Rol-
Ter, Cleaveland, Cox, .Cfosspn, Powell,
Magill and Pillow, have 'peen doing
service in this city and we understand
hat their work has been much appre-
eiated. Other students are doing, SER
vice elsewhere. =
The work of the Seminary was sus-
pended with the full approval of the
faculty as they felt that the students
were following as they should in this
time of epidemic, the example Of their
divine Master and thus preparing for
their future pastoral ministrations.. It
is hoped that as the influenza seems
TO be passing, from our midst. the
Seminary can;'reopen sonetimei, next
week.
Mrs. Oscar Randolph and, Mrs.
Cook, daughters of Professor Craw-
ford, have rendered valuable and
faithful service in conveying the
students to camps from the Seminary
in their automobile.

STEEL HELMETS SAVE LIVES
Incidents Cited Show Efficacy of
''Tin Hats" in DETECTING Bullets
And Shrapnel.

Paris, Oct. 24.-The fiat "tin hats"
The Yanks wear in battle have saved
many life.
One field dressing station in the Of
'fensive around Vigneulles produced
ample proof Of the efficacy of the steel
helmet. A soldier was brought in, un-
conscious, with a deep crease in his
helmet directly over his nose. Appar-
emily he had ben struck by a machine
gun bullet and the wearer, though put
% sleep for half an hour, was unin-
iured.
Shortly afterward another soldier
vas brought in with an identical dent
n the brim. This time it was shrap-
lel and it had been DETECTED quite as
effectively, except that bit Of skin
nad been nipped from the end of the
soldiers nose.
