innocent. l wish that may never see my
baby againIf | am not speaking the truth.
/ ave only seen my baby once in nine
weeks. l have been an innocent victim
throughout
When asked if she had any witnesses
to call she rep led:
mo, the only person who could help me
is my husband, who deserted me ten days
after my baby was born. A man who left
a woman in poverty like that is not likely
to % to her rescue when she most needs
help. He has left me TO fight my battles

The Magistrate, on being informed that
the prisoners mother was caring for the
baby, said there was no reason why Mrs.
Tewksbury should not see it. Mrs.
Tewksbury said she did not want to see
IL in prison. The prisoner was unable
to find sureties In bail, and she consequently
continues in custody. The Magistrate
said that II sureties could be obtained he

LONDON, April 28.-The British Medical
journal quotes DIR. Lee Howard AZ saying
that the delight in fast automobiling and
the craving for strong drink are etiologi-
cally the same thing.
A feature Of the present age is the in
creasing tendency toward explosions Of
psychic energy, one objective symptom
Of which is the mania for high speed, and
others the drug mania and the alcohol
mania.
Nevertheless DR.. Howard does not con-
denim automobiling. On the contrary, he
declares that a dangerous dash into the

some vent for reckless courage, which
otherwise would spend energy in disorder
and riotous excess.
