SEEMINGLY IMMUNE TO PAIN
Australian AboriolnaIs Suffer Little
Inconvenience From Even the
Most Severe Injuries.

The sight Of their own blood win
send Australian aboriginals into hys-
terics. writes a correspondent In the
Australian Bulletin, but am con-
WINGED they feel little or no pain from
even the severest Injury. On one oc-
casion, when dragging young girl
from shark that had her, foot in ita
jaws, she looked up and remarked
casually, Mine tink 1t dat shark been
tax it mine FOOT" The sight Of the
blood upset her for q while; but a
few hours later she was playing
euchre with the rest Of the camp. The
wonder Is that wounded blacks don't
more often bleed to death, for they
take no special means to prevent 1t.
The most approved method used to be
to cover the wound thickly with fine
mangrove ash, and over that q layer
OF damp clay, which was not removed
for several days. I never saw them
wash wound. their theory being that
the blood heals the wound In later
years they all learned to go to a doc
tor when injured. but thirty or forty
years ago one saw dreadful deformi-
ties resulting from accidents and
fights. On Fraser's island in the sew
entities there was a man whose leg had
been broken in two places below tho
knee. Neither fracture had knitted,
and he was most grotesque object
to meet. The doctors wanted to mend
him, but he kept out of the way. An
other case was an old woman whose
arm had been broken between the
wrist and elbow. She used to pry
the bones one against the other, and
she could give a terrible blow with the
loose hand.

Do You Need a PerIscope?

Don't give up hope, even If you are
a tiny person in a large crowd. To
your rescue comes an adaptation OF the
periscope, designed specially for use in
crowds. According to Popular Mechan-
les Magazine:
1T consists Of a case having mir
ror set at the proper angle at either
end, which can be extended to length
Of two feet or more by reason Of
bellows connecting the two ends.
With the device heightened, the mir
rors are exposed SO that the user can
see over the heads of a crowd without
difficulty"

1919 Prohibition
 Act Is Upheld by
 the Supreme Court

Little Rock, Nov. 10.-The clause of the 1919 prohibition act prohibit ing the transportation of liquor was upheld by the supreme court today in affirming the decision of the White county circuit court, in imposing a fine upon Albert Whitely for trans porting liquor.
 This was the first case of the kind to come before the supreme court, and affirmation of the decree of the lower court dispelled whatever hope may have been entertained that the highest state tribunal would hold un- constitutional that portion of the bone-dry law prohibiting the trans portation of liquor.

SUPREME COURT
 HOLDS RUSSIANS
 PLANNED REVOLT
Documents Clearly An Attempt to Overthrow Government
 of the United States.

Washington, Nov. 1o,-Upholding the convictions in New York of Jacob Abrams and four other Rus sians for spreading radical propa- ganda, the supreme court, in ma jority opinion, written by Justice Clarke, declared today that the pamphlets prepared by the Russians and scattered broadcast from roof tops in the lower east side, New York City, were "clearly an appeal to the workers to arise and put down by force, the government 3f the United States"
 Justice Holmes and Brandeis dis minority opinion that the circulation of the leaflets, which protested against sending American troops to Russia, was not in violation of the espionage act. The right Of the Rus sians to publish pamphlets, Justice Holmes said, was as clear as was the right of the federal government to publish the constitution of the Uni ted States.
 The majority opinion pointed out that the Russians, who were given sentences of from three to 20 years, had taken no steps toward naturaliza- tion, although they had lived in this country from five to 10 years. Clarke's Opinion.
 -Four of them testified in their own behalf" Justice Clarke said, land of these, three frankly avowed that they were rebels 'revolution- ists' anarchists that they did not be- lleve in government in any form, and they declared that they had no in- terest whatever in the government of the United States. The fourth de- fendant testified that he was 'socia- list and believed in a proper kind of government, not capitalistic, but ] in his classification, the government of the United States was 'capitalis- tic" ;"
 ] Declaring that it was argued somewhat faintly' that the acts charged against the defendants were not unlawful because within the right of freedom of speech and of the press, guaranteed in the constitu. had been definitely negatived" in several cases previously decided by it l Justice Holmes in his opinion saic congress could not forbid all efforts to change the mind of the country.
 'I think" he said, "that we should
 be eternally vigilant against at
 tempts to check the expression o1
 opinions that we loathe and believe
 to be fraught with death unless they
 so imminently threaten immediate interference with the lawful ant
 pressing purposes of the law than aI
 immediate check is required to savl the country "
