New Model of a Device to Protect Vulnerable Organ. General Delorme, inspector general of the French army surgeons, strongly recommends to the Academy of Medi- cine the adoption of a steel euriass for protecting the 901111 from bullets aim- ed at his heart. Ever since the war began scientists have been striving to perfect some metal protection for the soldier's heart, his most vulnerable or- gan. Two surgeons, Daigre and Louppe, in December, 1015, had ' their Models tried out but since each oe the metal breastplates weighed twenty- six pounds they were discarded, These models covered the whole uppee body and were extremely cumbersome. Delorme's model is. two milimeters in thickness, a light thing, weighing not over a quarter of a pound and lying onlyenn the left side of the chest, immediately over the 'heart. It is not calculated to stop bullets fired at close range, but it will turn all small pro- jectiles at long range and will render shrapnel and shell splinters havmless.
