LIKE THE 'DUMDUM'
Sharp-Pointed Bullet May Make
Fearful Wound.
Range at Which Projectile Is Fired
and Age of the Man Hit Are Factors
in Amount Of Damage
Done.

American army surgeons are con-
WINGED that under normal conditions
all modern bullets are more humane
than those formerly used, in spite Of
the fact that they travel at higher
speed and have a far wider range.
They are so sharp pointed that when
they strike the soft tissues alone they
make clean-cut, narrow wounds which
heal very quickly.
When, however. they take a side
wise twist, OF develop irregular. jagged
edges through previously striking or
glancing off some hard object, they
have an explosive effect which pro-
duces just such terrible wounds as the
"dumdum." These effects are most
liable 70 occur in vital organs inclosed
in resisting bony walls, like the brain
or heart, and are nearly always fatal.
The range at which bullets are fired
and the ages of the men they hit have
been found to have a marked influence

slavery existed in New York in 1928,
in New Jersey in 1928, in Massachu-
