SEEK PAST OF MAN
HELD ON INSANITY

Officers are seeking to fathom the
past of Tom Charles, young man
held at the county Jail for observation
as to his sanity. He was arrested at
Brawley by Marshal Bennett, to wnom
he ccnfided his name and meaGre de
tails of his past. These lapses, he
explained, were due to a sunstroke
which he suffered in South Africa in
1900, and during the periods he is af-
fected with blindness and appears
unable to articulate plainly. lie says
he has no relatives.

STUDYING PROBLEM
OF THE WAR BABIES
WOMEN
(By Charles Edward RusselD

(By Charles Edward RusselD
Newspaper Editor, Magazine Writer
and Economist, who is writing I'M
portant articles from the war zone
for the Imperial Valley Press)
Throw out the life line! The grand
old ship, British Morality, cut adrift
by the war, is shipping out to sea
amid fog, storm and breakers, and the
coast guard is by no means sure that
all hands will not be lost.
The very essence Of the British sys-
TEN of ethics, its first commandment,
IS that any such subject as illegiti-
mate children we must pass with stern
and averted faces, while with hands
uplfted in horror we motion sinners
to punishment.
1t is from this safe anchorage, hal
lowed by tradition, that the national
ship has gone adrift in a way to make
silence impossible.
When the youths of the land were
enlisted for its defense they were
placed in training camps scattered
about the country. Lately the dis
coyery has been made that IN the
neighborhood of every training camp
a large number of unmarried women
expect soon to become mothers.
The situation created IS awkward
BY some of the powers that be and
eminent statesmen strong, though
yelled campaign has been carried on
to secure some such result as this, but
tC secure it under the sacred seal of
lawful wedlock. To have babies born
without that formality is very differ
ent and very embarrassing-in a coun-
try priding itself on the Strictest Nor
ality.
In a quiet but effective way the un-
married recruit has been urged to
take unto himself a wife before he
shall depart for the front. War
brides" accordingly have become ia
miliar and somewhat jocular topic. To
make army marriages easy and com
mon handy clergymen have been pro .
vided, charges reduced and formalties
dispensed with.
Better get married before you 20,
my boy" says the sergeant "Thc
separation allowance will take care of
the wife, you know"
Sir Pandarus is a new role for gov
ernment to play, but that has been
about the truth of the case here. New
ly WEEDS are not hurried to the front
Observe then the nations predica-
ment In thousands of other cases
the ceremony has been omitted. This
