Pot HELMETS are being tried out to replace the familiar “basin” type worn by U. S. infantrymen in World War 1. Scientific design in the new style gives maximum protection, covering about 80 per cent more of the head than the 1917 helmet did, while leaving just enough room for the pack and for rifle sighting. With its outer steel shell removed, the two-in-one helmet makes a cool and comfortable field hat. Its shape stems from research delving back into the earliest types, but one of the best tips came from a maker of plastic football helmets, who had devised a detachable headband available in sizes to fit any soldier.
