NATIONS DEBT TO PILGRIMS
Their Famous Compact Of Governments
Rightly Treasured a. Great
State Document.

In the harbor at the tip Of Cape
Cod occurred the first birth and the
first death among the Pilgrims in
America. On board the Mayflower, as
she lay at anchor, was born Pere-
CRIME, son Of William and Susanna
White. Here was another child for
the ships nursery, already occupied by
little Oceanus Hopkins, who first saw
the light Of day far out at sea.
The death was that of Dorothy May,
wife Of William Bradford, future gov
ernor of Plymouth colony. She was
drowned.
First Of Importance. however, Of
all that occurred here, and also In
the sequence Of events, was the draw
ing up and signing Of the famous COM
pact OF government, originally desis-
mated by Bradford in his history as "A
combination" And so 1t was, In the
most literal sense, combination.
This agreement, made in writing by
a little group Of Englishmen who had
been dismissed by their mother coun-
try us good riddance to bad rubbish"
is now treasured by the nation in
America, to which they contributed as
much as one of three great documents.
The other two are the Declaration Of
independence and the Constitution OF
the United States.

HEART CAN FEEL NO PAIN
But Vital Organ Sends Out IT, Mes
sage Of Warming When Phys'eal
Danger Threatens,

The heart has no nerves Of sensa-
ton, Stanley NJ. Rinehart, NJ. d.,
writes in the Saturday Evening Post.
If the surgeon could get to 1t without
cutting through the sensory nerves on
the surface of the body he could op-
crate upon the heart itself without
causing pain. And yet pain is some-
times a symptom Of heart disease, but
it is produced in roundabout way.
If the heart cannot feel, how can
there be pain in heart disease!
Branches of the heart nerves 60 to
certain subccnters in the spinal cord,
and there they connect with the SUPER
fetal nerves Of sensation. Continued
irritation of the heart nerves Is thus
communicated to the surface nerves
and there is reflex or referred pain,
not in the heart. but In the chest wall
over which the sensory nerves are dis
tributed.
True heart pain is always due to ex-
J,austion of the heart muscle and may
be recognized by the presence OF Other
symptoms It is made worse by
the slightest exertion; by anything
that increases the rapidity OF the
hearts contractions. And nearly al
ways the respirations are labored and
deep. expressing the desire Of the slug
gisIi blood stream for more air. But
the pain is in the chest wall, never in
the heart.
More significant than pain Is feel
ing of contraction, of tightness IN the
chest behind the breastbone. which
may be experienced by those Of middle
age. 1t is especially noticeable after
full meal, after smoking or during ex-
ertion. This is another Of natures
quiet warnings. 1t usually accom-
panies high blood pressure, with or
without hardening of the arteries. Tie
more often the sensation recurs and
the more easily it is induced, the more
attention it demands.

The case is analogous to that OF a
man named Nlahony who was hanged

physician pronounced him dead. the
body was cut down and delivered to
the relatives. Life was not extinct.

Movie Thsaters in Rio.

It Is at the cinema theaters that
the Cariocas (citizens Of Rio de Ia
neiro) know real comfort; for, I'M
like our moving-picture houses,
those in Rio have spacious waiting
rooms, where you sit, listening to *
cellent music, until the hour for the
first reel comes round. The pioneer
house of the kind inaugurated this
custom, and now the people refuse to
stand outside waiting for the even
hour to arrive or to enter after the
Aim has started. With SO; much profit
able space taken from the auditorium,
the movies In Rio Janeiro are not as
great money-makers as with US. The
American favorites are popular. quite
