health officers of states, cities and
counties to cooperate with them to
make the Health Week observance eff
feetive, and also that meetings will be
held from time to time during the
week where health topics will be dis
eussed.

BERLIN HoNoRs IT'S HEROES
Soldiers on Streets Of Capital Subjects
Almost of Alteration by the
Populace.

Among the quiet, serious looking
crowds which thronged all the down
town streets of Berlin during the
afternoons and evenings, and which
overfiowed into those uptown ave-
nues which still were lighted at night,
every fifth man was a soldier, writes
Edward Eyre Hunt, in Golfers Week
ly. And the crowds never tired of the
sight of them. They paid each uni
form the f1attering attention of star
ing at it as If it were the first they
had ever seen. The procession was
bewildering.
There were all sorts and conditions
of men In uniforms: Prussian gen.
erals, in gold and gray and blue; a
haggard military doctor just come
from the hospitals and still smelling
of ether; dirty, tired infantrymen back
from the battle line in East Prussia,
limping along in the gutter; noun.
taineer in Alpine green uniform, with
a green feather in his fiat cap aris-
tocratic hussars in uniforms of blaz-
ing red, marching along erect as auto
matte dolls; an officer Of the famous
Deaths Head hussars, white skull
grinning down from his black shake,
and the cords across his breast shak-
ing as he walked; companies OF middle
aged landsturm marching down the
street; a crack regiment of the guard
doing the goose step at the corner of
Inter den Linden, and smacking the
pavement until the strset echoed like
a forest under volley fire; squad of
Red Cross workers, marching in civil
dress, each wearing his little white
and red arm band, and each carrying
a tiny satchel; cavalry on coal black
horses riding by like centaurs; a new
regiment off for the war with band
biaring and coiors swapping in the
wind; an adjutant in gray military
automobile with a horn that doomed
like a cannon; convalescent soldiers,
by ones, twos, half dozens, walking
the streets to get the air, limping pain
fully or guarding a bandaged arm or
shoulder or head from the jostling of
the crowd. Then, like parody of all
these, twenty small boys in uniforms,
with spiked caps, wooden swords and
an ingenious wooden cannon mounted
on gun carriage which would lower
and raise and pivot about like a real
field gun, marching down the Fried
richstrasse with patriotic flags and a
drum.

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

American army surgeons are con-
vinced 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 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 side
wise twist, or 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 to occur In vital organs Enclosed
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 marked influence

on the character of the wounds they
make
The bones of younger men usually
have a great amount of animal mat
ter, consequently are less brittle than
those of older men. The less resist
anee met by the bullet in the compar-
atively softer bones, at short ranges,
permits the passage of the bullet with
out explosive effect. In the cases OF
the older and more brittle bones the
bullet at long ranges causes great dam
age, especially as the bullet at these
long ranges has become unsteady from
loss of velocity and strikes the bone
sidewise, thus transferring Its energy
over a greater area than II it had
struck point on.
Owing to the change in the position
of bullets fired at long ranges, the eff
feet produced in the bony tissues is at
first In the short ranges very severe
from the high velocity, but in the
midranges the effects are less Sc
we're because Of loss in velocity, and
at long ranges the effects became Sc
we're again because of the impact be-
ing made with the side of the bull
let.

rsaehIna Under pIffeulties.

Whatever teaching was done during
the Civil war was carried on under
difficulties, in SO far as ordinary
school supplies were concerned; at
least we Judge so from the following
extract from an article on War
Time Expedients" in North Carolina
paper:
For pens we used goose-quills, un-
less one was fortunate enough to pos
sess q gold one. Ink was homemade,
also; generally the juice of some as
tringent berry, like poke or elder
berry, with the addition of copperas.
For pencils we sometimes used the
sharpened end of burr of lead.
Schoolboys made slate pencils by cut
ting broken slate into narrow strips
and whiting them round with a peck
ct knife. A small bone of chicken
was burned in the fire until almost
calcined, and SO used as a slate PEN
Gil, but was rather too soft. To break
a good school slate by accident was
quite a misfortune in those days. The
school books were those used by the
former generation Of children, and
sometimes there would be hardly two
alike in a class.

saws His wife Could Tell.

Most men are queer, but some. are
queerer, especially in New York. A
prize winner in the second class drew
the eyes of the entire company upon
him in amazement as they sat around
table in a downtown restaurant at
luncheon. They had been discussing
apartment house life, when one of the
party turned to the man next to him
and asked: "By the way, Jim, how
many rooms have you In your fiat?"
New York flats are SO small you would
imagine that any man who had to
pay rent for one could answer right
off. But Jim said: Blessed if / know.

BRINGS TALE; LEAVES FOOT
Thrilling Account of Encounter
With Grizzly Bear.

Blubbering with Joy, Aswatuk, an
Eskimo, to be known on the Pennsyt
vania farm, whittier he has gone, by the
stern patronym Of. Morris Levy, was
released from Ellis island in charge
of Miss Martha Lininger, a nurse at
the Grenfell mission, in Labrador, says
the New York Herald. Aswatuk until
he reaches Pennsylvania has only
one foot. The other, the left, was
chawed off by grizzly bear, wherein
lies the story.
Aswatuk-which means "the chilly
baby"-is sixteen years old. but. ac-
cording to the story, he's so brave
that Labrador Is probably relieved to
be rid of his daring spirit.
Miss Leininger, who brought him
back with her, had trouble getting him
into the country, but finally appeals to
Washington were answered, and Aswa-
TUX is off to the farm.
But to the tale Of that missing foot.
On cold, windswept night in Bolster's
Rock, Labrador, little Aswatuk and his
mother huddled about the whale Oil
lamp, wondering if Papa Aswatuk, the
daring fisherman, was riding the gale.
Suddenly from outside the igloo there
came a scratching and the hearts OF
Aswatuk and his mother CONCEALED.
They knew it was the dread scratching
of polar bear scratching his way In
to make a meal off them.
Sundries In the way Of dried moose
meat and mission tracts were used to
bolster the fast weakening wall OF the
igloo, but all in vain.
Through ragged aperture gloomed
the horrid face of grizzly bear. He
yawned in anticipation Of little Aswa-
tuk-a plump youth-just as Aswatuk
kicked with his left foot. The foot
reached the open mouth just as 1t
closed, and just as Aswatuks mother
dropped the whale oil lamp on the
bears head. With groan Of pain and
anger the grizzly Hoped lightly away,
blazing with wrath and whale oil, but
still clinging to Aswatuk's foot.
Aswatuk was taken to the hospital
at st. Anthony's, where he recovered
sufficiently to be brought to this coun-
try. So goes the tale of Aswatuk as
told by himself.

Dreams.

It Is common saying that one
dreams of that which one has been
thinking most about. This is the ex-
ception and not the rule. The dream
may be of something that one thought
of at some time, but possibly not for
years, that would not be recalled in
waking hours, which had lain dormant
in the mind, to be prosaically re-
hearsed through some operation of
physical functions, such as impeded
respiration, feverish conditions, some
posture Of the body, late supper, pos
sibly ended with dessert of mince
pie, stomachic distress, clogging of the
circulation or some bodily pain.

Accidents to War AyIators.

An interesting statement is that
made by French publication that the
number Of deaths of aviators in the
war service by accident was very
small as compared with the records
In time of peace, and the explanation
is made that in this service only the
most skilled men are engaged, and
moreover they do not indulge In the
sensational exhibition stunts that
have brought disaster to many. 1t
may be noted that it is this same sem
sational exhibition business that has
given the general public many erro-
neous and misleading ideas about fly
ing machines that will sooner or later
prove an injury to aviation Scientific
