Henley, of "Centenary Burns." He wrote a standard "History of Scottish Vernacular Literature."
25. Dr. Lauriston Elgie Shaw, M.D., F.R.C.P., aged 64, was best known for the part he played in medical politics, especially in connexion with the National Health Insurance Act. He was trained in medicine at Guy's Hospital, and graduated M.D. at the University of London in 1883. He joined the staff of his old hospital, serving on it until 1919, by which time he was full physician and lecturer on medicine. He took an active part in framing the provisions of the National Health Insurance Acts, and became Treasurer of the London Panel Committee. He had served since 1915 as Manager of the Metropolitan Asylums Board and was also chairman of the Pinewood Sanatorium Sub-Committee.
Sir Napier Burnett, K.B.E., M.D., aged 51, took his M.B. and C.M. degree at Glasgow in 1894 and his M.D. in 1908, also becoming F.R.C.S. and F.R.C.P. Edin. For some time he practised at Newcastle, where he was assistant surgeon at the Hospital for Women and President of the Newcastle Clinical Society. His contributions to professional literature were chiefly concerned with obstetrics and diseases of women, but of most importance was his practical work in the field of hospital administration and public health. He did excellent work in building up for the Red Cross a great advisory organisation for the provincial hospitals. He became Chief Executive Officer to the Joint Council of the British Red Cross Society and the Order of St. John, and also acted as adviser to their Joint War Committee. He was one of the chief promoters of the British Empire Cancer Campaign.
27. Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, aged 91, designer of the famous Tower in Paris which bears his name, first gained renown as a builder of metal bridges. Born at Dijon and educated as an engineer, his career opened at a time when metallic construction was beginning its modern development. His most important work of this kind was the railway bridge over the Garonne at Bordeaux, built in 1858. Other works of his include the Douro Bridge at Oporto, the railway station at Budapest, the movable dome of the Nice Observatory and the frame of the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbour. He also designed the sluices in the first Panama Canal undertaking, and was condemned to prison when this failed, but was later exonerated from blame. The Eiffel Tower, which is now used as a wireless station, was never intended to be merely part of a popular exhibition. It was used by him in his studies of aerodynamics as a result of which he published in 1907 a book on the resistance of air. The development of aviation probably owes far more to him than is generally recognised. He conducted valuable wind tunnel experiments, and in particular the theory of plane surfaces and of propellers is indebted to his researches. From 1900 until the war began he was occupied with meteorological research, and for some years published an annual "Atlas Météorologique." He was the founder, at the age of 33, of the Levallois-Perret Ironworks.
30. General Buat, Chief of Staff of the French Army since 1920, was born in 1868 and became Chief of Staff to the Army of Alsace in 1914. In December, 1916, he was given command of the Second Army Corps and subsequently commanded the 33rd Infantry Division. As head of the General Reserve of heavy artillery he was largely responsible for the massing of the thirty-one regiments of tractors and heavy artillery at Verdun and La Malmaison.
