MAKING ARMOR FOR MODERN
WARFARE
I Vi h; i s the strangest workshop in
the Umt»*d States is situated in the
M*-f :• p.ditan Museum nt Art. New
York t its. where are being produced
: <mi i i re- of ancient armor models
to he adopted and coped for tin* use
of soldiers i,f the United States arms.
\ famous French artisan is in charge
of the shop, which has been turned
"ver to the ordnance branch of the
army.
I Inin, ... . . l.a.I.I.I 1 .. ...
will In* niiidi' for our soldiers, inas
liiucli as the war in Kuropo has
brought back into use many discarded
weapons and practices of medieval
times. Hand-to-hand lighting has
caused the adoption of heavy breast
plates by the Hermans and lighter
breastplates by the Knglish, while ar
mored waistcoats are worn by the
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
"or1 ' ■ van established for :he pur
pose i f cleaning, repairing and restor
ins the prec ious piec es assembled with
great care front till parts of the world
It happened that included in the col
lection were ninety kinds of anvib
tint! “stakes,” several hundred ham
mers of different types, and curious
shears and other instruments.
When the war began the director o
the museum, acting with tho snnetior
of the trustees, placed the depart men
I of armor at the disposal of the sec
I rotary of war. Since then many de
signs have been carefully worked out
by Major Dean, formerly curator of
the department of armor, who went
to France to study needs lust autumn
and since then has been directing the
adaptation of the models in accord
ance with suggestions made by (Sen.
Pershing
Twenty-five types of armor have
been made, so far. in the various fac
tories. In lots varying from 100 to
many thousand pieces. Those armor
defenses include arm and leg guards,
which arc considered most Important,
in view or the fact that hospital stat
iKtlcs in France and Kngland show
that to pc reent of hispltal casualties
suffered were leg wounds and 33 per

California Has
Enormous 1918
Crop of Honey
LOS ANGELES. Oct. 30.- The 1918
California honey c rop, valued at about
$2,400,000. has reached its peak and
shipments from the leading producing
sections of the state are now in full
swing, according to announcements by
A. li. Massey, manager of the Califor
nia Honey Producers' Cooperative ex
change.
"Estimates on the production of
honey in California this year," said
Mr. Massey, "indicate there will be
approximately 2000 carloads, totaling
nearly 12,000,000 pounds. At an aver
age price of 20 cents a pound, the
crop will bring about $2,400,000.
"Of all the honey consumed in the
l 'nlted States. California furnishes 90
per cent for domestic consumption, al
though only 25 per cent of the. coun
try’s crop is produced in California.
"In this state alone, there are ap
proximately 100 different grades and
varieties of honey produced. And
there are live distinct colors of honey
in each variety."
Four carloads of honey from south
ern California were shipped in one
week recently, according to Mr. Mas
sey, who estimated that the season
in this section will close about No
vember 15.
A large part of this year's crop,
honey producers say, is being shipped
lo Europe because of the sugar short
age among the entente allies.
