TIN HATS ARE MADE

PARIS, July 25-(Correspondence
OF The Associated Press. The case

great American military hospital at
Neuilly, in the Paris suburbs, seems

soldiers, the "tin hat is a thoroughly
reliable article when put TO the su.

This marine owed his life to his
"tin hat" and the peculiar qualities
OF its steel in giving slightly without
SCATTERING. In the midst OF the &C.
ton he went down with a ball strik-
ing the top OF the helmet and pressing
down to the skull. He was brought
back, along with the helmet which
showed a deep indentation about the
size OF half a baseball. Il was this In.

OF their helmets. Il IS said that a
hard and brittle steel, which would
have resisted without giving, would
have been shattered TO bits by the i'm
pact and the ball would have gone
straight through the brain.
In an adjoining ward stalwart
young marine who had been in the
same Cantigny fight stood at attention
with no apparent sign OF wound. But
the surgeon, feeling the boys throat,
nodded appToyingly and then remark
ed that this was one OF the most re-
markable cases that had ever come
under his observation, and probably
the only case Of the kind on record.
A bullet had struck the soldier In the
left side OF the neck and had gone
through to the gullet, where it stop

swallowed into the stomach.
An X.ray examination clearly show
ed the ball in the intestines. But
instead OF removing It by an opera
ton the surgeons decided to await the
course OF nature and see II the sol
der would digest the rifle ball, And
this ne did. One of the surgeons re-
marked that the chances Of such a
thing happening were less than one
in a million, but colleague added that
the chances were for less than that
as he could not recall any like case
in the whole range Of military surgery.
