WHERE SUN KILLS Heat In Tropical Desert Fatal to European. Garments Lined With Red Material Must Be Used by Traveler In the African Bush. In the tropical bush desert the sun can kill you In a matter of minutes? ! fatally Impairing your nerve system and your mind. The noufed of the desert goes about without head cover; when he does wear it. It Is only for ornament or to keep him a bit cooler. His light turban, worn by you, would lead to the most serious illness or death. The European protects himself against the sun In the desert as carefully as the invalid In our latitude wraps himself against chill on a severe winter day; with the same care, though In different fashion. The feet, legs and lower body, in boots, leggings and light short trousers, look after themselves; It Is the parts where the sun can do vital damage that need watching. The back Is protected by a wide, thick splnepad. lined in strong red?the color that counteracts the deadly "violet" rays. The efficient helmet has a large red- * lined flap covering the back of the neck?another vulnerable spot?and the helmet Itself, thickly made, and domed high to leave space between the Interior aud the top of the head, is also heavily lined with red. Some, cheap gear often, are lined with fancy green and other colors. Red is the only color-security against even headache in the hotter hours of the shadeless bush of the equator. There is one time, however, during which man, of whatever race or howsoever clothed, must In the real bush desert give way before the almighty nnxx-ar nt the >jiin?tlie three mid-dav FV'VI V- V..V hours. Inside the double-roofed canvas tent set up an hour ago the white official, his inldday meal of beef and tinned ( vegetables just finished, wipes his brow and, removing boots and leg- j glngs, stretches out on the camp bed close by. Weariness is coming over him after , the long five hours' march from sun- j rise. He pulls his helmet over his eyes , and drowsily looks down beyond his nose through the open flat of the tent. A strange air of quiet has, come over the midday camp. Up till half an hour ago all was the usual tumult and noise ( that is part of his life twice a day j when camp is "made"?camels snarling and bubbling as they knelt to be , off-loaded?syces chanting monotonous- ^ iy while at work on the baggagepickets being posted?sen-ants shout- j ing and whistling. Now all is changed. The profound ] quiet, intensifying each moment, Is not , merely due to things having settled J down. I Outside there the squat bush shad- ( ows have shrunk to their shortest; the . sunlight, yellow all morning, has turned a ghastly white. The camp square is deserted; those bushes, each ' with a brown camel-mat slung over it, ?. shows where the restless figures have retreated a while. The camels themselves have ceased to straj about; in the thin checkered shade of that grazing thorn over yonder they are standing still save for the < flicking of a tall as they languidly i chew the cud. Even the hurnblll bird. I melancholy songster of the wilds, has I ceased Its mournful chant. The last 1 breath of the morning wind has faint- 1 ed away; not a twig moves; not an : Insect's murmuring note Is heard ^ around the shadowless scrub trembling t in the haze. I It is as though the world about were < suddenly hypnotized. It Is. In that i pyramid of blinding rays at this belly of the world all nature is struck in a I swoon?the earth, man, beast and every living thing thereon?In the i blinding storm of heat and the white ? horror of the midday sun. j I Tide Uncovers Old Spanish Bell. | An old bronze bell, bearing a Span- < ish inscription San A , partly < hlurred out, was found Imbedded In xhe beach ut Copal Is, Wash., during an extremely low tide.

SPREAD OF RED PROPAGANDA Bolshevist Activities in the Varioui Countries Are Under Highly Systematic Regulation. In the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung one of the many publications controlled by Herr Stinnes, an annotated map was published recently, showing the organization of the Bolshevist propaganda throughout the various countries of Europe. According to this map, the entire organization is under a propaganda committee, composed of ZinovlefT Radek, Chicherin, Lunacharski, Llt! vinoff. apd Krnssin. The working ol this committee is subdivided into sections, Including an "official section," which has charge of soviet diplomatic and commercial delegations abroad; a "press bureau," which controls the numerous wireless stations; nnd various "secret sections," the functions of which are not made entirely clear. The official section Is directed from Riga by Lltvlnoff. The Allgemeine Zeitung declares that Berlin Is the chief foreign center of Bolshevist activity, and alleges that the Berlin mission supports the Rote Fahne (the Berlin Communists' organ). Next in Importance to Berlin Is Prague; but Milan Is also an Important propagandist center. From this latter point the tentacles are sprcaci uiruugu the Italian, Swiss, and Jugo-Slav regions. According to the map, London Is not an independent center, but Is handled from Furls, to which city the Moscow authorities devote special attention.?The Living Age. "MIRACLE" WAS BEYOND HER Unfortunate Italian Woman Threatened With Death by Her Superstitious Townspeople. Torcllo Rossi, a peasant of San ITospere, Tuscany, had been ill for some time. As the cures given did not Improve his condition, the population decided that he was the victim o. witchcraft. After taking council together, they decided that the witch oiust be discovered by the tests which have been in practice for ages, says a Rome dispatch. The family of Rossi were told to put liis underlinen Into a pot of -boiling water, and then beat theui with rods. This process would cause grave physical paiu to the witch, who would then cull and cure the sufferer. This was done, und a few days later an old woman who hud originally lived next door to Rossi appeared at the house, tier visit immediately condemned her in the eyes of the populace us the witch und she was ordered to free ber supposed victim from his illness. She promised to do so, but suid that it was impossible unless she hud the ild of three other women who were more conversant with witchcraft than she was. But the t' wore not forthcoming, and the "juji * ' * was therefore left to the old wot'.ua, who tried everything she could think of to cure :he sufferer, but without success. The ;rowd was finally aroused to such au;er that the unfortunate woman would probably have been drowned in the lver but for the timely intervention )f the carabineers. Old Knicke-s and Golf Suit.

A postscript cleared up the mys:ery, says the New York Sun. "All the fellows are wearing gulf >ults on the campus," Harold wrote, 'especially on Saturdays and Sundays.

Bobby's Comment A Frankliu husband and wife were having a heated argument over a member of a club to which Lite hustmud belonged. The husband, ot :ourse, was of the opinion that the Heather in question wus not guilty of the accusations made against him. The wife, bent on having the lust word, retorted sarcastically: "No. I don't suppose anyone in that . lub wulil do wrong." Three-year-old Bobby, who apparently had been In tent on the contents of a bowl of outmeal. stopped long enough to get in a word when there was a lull in the argument. With downcast eyes he murmured, "Poor fish."?Indluunpolis News. Tours for Students.
