In metal greaves; the hands were pro-
tected by an articulated gauntlet and
the foot by an iron shoe or solleret.
The body was still covered by short
ened coat about the length Of waist

whole outfit was known as "har-

Finally. In the reign of Charles VII,

mented by shoulder pieces and the
gorget, which united the armor to the
round helmet. The knight was now
practically lnvulnerable, but so
weighted down and so awkward of
movement that once dismounted he
was at the complete mercy of his foe.
To lessen his chances of being dis
mounted, therefore, his horse was
equipped with armor. the tout en-

haubergeon-to which was added. in
many cases, an abdominal demicuir-

reign of Charles VII.
The elaborate armor Of the knight
which, in It's completion. had meant
the patient acquisition of centuries
was made useless In the space OF some
ten years by the introduction of gun
powder As carly rs the beginning Of
the fourteenth century. projectiles mad
become capable Of piercing the armor
in use at the time. and little by little
the use Of such defense disappeared,
the tendency being to substitute fab
rio for metal protection. This gave
birth to the cpaulet. horse-tail plume,
the shake and the bearskin cap. With
modern wars. new device sprang up
namely, individual protection by
means Of the invisibility Of units and
scattered formations. From this orig
mated the idea of the service uni
form. ~
Such methods of Individual defense
~'ere quite satisfactory for combat Mt
great distances; but in, stationary
fighting or in trench warfare It, Is
quite another matter. and once again
the question of individual armor has
arisen, and already we see its use
in the shape of the steel helmet. the
heavy breastplate worn by the Ger
man soldier, the lighter breastplate
worn by the English. the armored
waistcoats of the Italians and the
trench shields used by all armies. The
idea Of the new armor Is not, like that
of the Middle Ages. to give complete
protection. II is rather to defect than
to stop missiles, and 1t does this with
a sheet Of metal that would be easily
pierced by bullet striking It at right
angles.

There Is no question but that the

went anyway.
Il knew the time OF the second pc

my watch, and when Jim Marks gave
that we had been trieked by either
incompetent or worse officials. But
the last period was q disgrace. The
crowd knew we were playing overtime

''The rawest decision was IN rfvfnT
