 ''The Germans after the Brest-Li- tovsk conference could do as they liked, but a change came with the German revolution. The German diplomats were badly treated and af- ter June l all Germans shared the fate of other foreigners.
 There has been little home life in Petrograd since July 1, M. Saponcn stated, when parents were ordered to take all the meals in the Communal eating houses. This order has not yet been extended to Moscow.
 Owing to the closing of millinery shops and other places employing large numbers of women, those vhC were physically able went into the munition works and other factories The remainder were shut off from a livelihood and were forced to shift for themselves as best they could.
 What police protection Petrograd enjoys is given by women, said M Saponen, and continued:
 "A year a go every person was a law unto himself, the authorities doine little to suppress 1awlessness. but since spring the police and militia made up of women froom the Baltic provinces, have been trying 70 keeE order In Moscow sHere IS a regulal militia, the members of which are often, themselves, arrested by sol, diers''
 Although burglars caught in Petro- grad are promptly executed by the Bolshevists, robberies are still ire queut.
 Wines and vodka are still obtaina. bIe at exorbitant prices. Asked if the Bolshevists were show ing any signs of factiOnal division, M Saponen said that none would admi publicly that there was not unanirni- tV.

 BLONDE ESKIMOS

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 17.-Atavism explains the discovery of Blonde Eskimos" in Victoria, Land in the Arctic, reported by NiljhaImar, in the opinion of James R. Crawford, a member of the second Stefansson ex- petition, who has come out of the north for the first time in I5 years.
 The blonde natives are throw backs of early white explorers. Crawford believes. He expressed sur prise that the existence of an entire tribe of blondes was generally be- Iieved- He was with Stefanesou when the blondes were discovered.
 t'In Victoria Land" Crawford said 'there are probably three tribes or villages, comprising several hundred . natives, in which these light Eski- mos are found. But there are fewer than a dozen of the blondes, so far as We were able to learn, in the entire land. They had grey eyes, light eye brows, reddish brown hair, and their skins are slightly lighter than that of their brothers, although not notice ably so.
 The natives made it known that they had never seen white men before, and probably they had not Crawford said But IheIf ancestors dld see white men, probably looking for a new land. who never lived to get back to civiliza- ton.
 There was one little girl who pos sessed the most pronounced mark 1 ings of blondness, the daughter of l two dusEy natives. whose hair was black and who had black beady eyes, The parents knew of no reason for 1 the reddish hair and gray eyes of i their offspring"

CONDITIONS IN PETR0CRAD HAVE
 BECOME WORSE

Helsingfors, Finland, Dec. IT, Correspondence of The Associated Press)-The only bread the majority of the residents of Petrograd have been able to obtain for months has been the so-caIIed ''duranda", made from flaXseed skins from which the oil has been pressed. M. Saponen, PerOgrad art dealer who recently succeeded in esca ping from Bolshe- Vist Russia to Finland, who discloses this situation says the bread is highly irritating and causes stomach trouble
 M Saponen expressed the. opinion that, if the Allied blockade continued, the worst months for Bolshevist Rus sia would be March and April He stated that, though unemployment was general in Petrograd, 1t was diff ficult to hire wOrkmen owing to their. weakened condition and apathy. The prOpertied class. who are not allow ed food rations, get nothing except what they manage to buy surrepti- tiously by selling their furniture and other possessions.
 "Bartering is extensively racticed in Pertograd and Moscow as well as in the country" continued NJ Sa- ponen. ''No one may legally possess more than 5,UUo fuGleS. EF hen people have nothing more with which they may trade they must join the Com- munist party in order to get work That is difficult however, for the bur geoisie. All the educated people try to move into the country where con- diions are better
 Last March, foreigners. who up to that time had enjoyed special priv ileges, became the objects of perse- cution, declared M. Saponen. This gradually increased until June when foreigners, especially the English

many think, a sure sign Of consump-

DR.. 81. Rabinowitsch Of New York
points out in the Medical Journal that
when we consider the great size Of the
arteries that enter the lung and their
minute rami6cation on the surface OF
the delicate air cells we should not
wonder IL blood is sometimes coughed
up from the lungs. Severe coughing
or straining may easily break Q small
branch Of one Of these arteries.
DR.. Rabinowitsch says the hemor-
.rhage itself Is of slight moment. ~ It
comes from an aneurism, death Is al
most instantaneous; II 1t comes from
a congested area and is limited. 1t Is
in some ways beneficial by relieving
the congested area. It has another

angular piece of flint. formerly used
as an arrowhead by early inhabitants
OF Great Britain and Europe generally.

Of hint were shot by elves or Invisible
