SURGERY ON THE CONSCIOUS

It is worthy of note that methods of inducing general anaesthesia by means of nitrous oxide. ether. and chloroform have reached a very high stage of perfection. So perfect, in deed, is the method of the adminis- tration of these anaesthetics in the hands of experts. that surgeons do not want to subject their patients to any method which is not known to be equally efficacious. It re- mained. therefore. for some responsi- ble man or group of men. in whom surgeons could have confidence, to prove beyond all question that the new method of producing anaesthesia would be equally as. efficacious as the perfected old methods. pr. Jon nesco is a man of such unprecedented standing in the profession that, when he came forward with records based upon, experiences extending over more than seven hundred cases and appeared in this country as an ex- ponent of the idea of spinal anaes- thesia, he at once obtained .an audi ence which would not have been ac- corded with anything of the same facility to a man of less repute.
 Our position at the present mo- ment. then. is simply this: pr. Jon nesco meets us with open minds: but he is facing a critical jury of many

 In the case of J. F. Howell and others against G. w. Bell. the motion of the plaintiffs to prosecute in the names of the real plaintiffs was grant, ed. The defendant in this case was the contractor for the Tempe high school building. Howell was a member of firm of sub-contractors of Los Angeles, where Bell also resides At the time of the completion of the building there were several claims for labor unpaid, Howell and his partner had a claim. and in, order to avoid d multiplicity of suits the other claims were assigned to Howell He went back to Los Angeles and there his firm settled with Bell, the amount of money the latter paid being in lieu of all claims held by the firm against him. These of course in cluded the assigned claims. Howell thereupon lost interest in the suit.

 In the clarified light Of the soul womanhoOd has been translated. The woman is still the mother, but mater nifty has for our modern vision a sig nificance which is not merely physical. but spiritual--in it's fullest meaning 1t Is the liberation of humanity for fin CT uses. She Is nearer than man to the new Nature as she was to the old But our ultra modern naturalism has a pellucid atmosphere, full of light, and there is a clearer vision of truth The Humanities and. we might also say. the Divinities have been transformed A delusive network of sophistication has vanished. The terms masculine and Feminine have no longer their old elemental or conventional mean ings. There is. or there is becoming. a new woman and a new man. and she distinction between them is not one of spheres" No exaItation of life. here or hereafter. could be human in which woman did not have her proper share and her peculiar distinction.
 This share and distinction woman has had in the great modern renas- cence. She first brought the creative imagination within homely bounds But here we touch upon a field to which we must give separate consider ation.-H. M. Alden. in Harper's for January.
