COUNCIL ASKED
TO COMPEL USE
OF BATHING SUITS

LOS ANGELES, IAN. The Los
Angeles city council was urged in n
formal letter today to take action to
compel all women swimmers in the
Wrigley sea marathon, January 10,
to wear more than n mere coat Of
axle grease. Several of the feminine
entrants expect to swim naked III
the cross channel event.
Robert NJ. Smithers, the petition
er, objected to the nude swimming
arrangements as both a - safeguard
against public morals,' and to pro
tcct the naked mcrimaids frCm
sharks and barracuda.
The big barracuda which inhahit
the Catalina channel have often
shown n 'distinct liking for axle
grease, Smithers wrote to the alder
men, and action by the city council
therefore would "proteet limb and
hide as well as protect the public
morals.
Smithers said also that in event
any of the nude swimmers succeeded
in crossing the channel, the offense
committed would be still greater, be
cause ''very little, if any, of the
protecting film of grease will hav.

GERMAN SCIENTISTS
TRY NEW ANESTHETIC
Evolved in Laboratories Of Dye

Advantages Are Claimed.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, April 22.-The German
medical world is watching expert
ments with new anesthetic evolved
in the laboratories of the German
Dyestuffs Federation for which ad-
vantages over ether or chloroform are
claimed.
The chemical composition Of the
preparation, known as L 107, is with
held for the time,being. But its man
ner of working and effects upon the
patient, both during the period of its
potency and afterward, have been de-
scribed by Prof Ernst Unger, who
with other prominent German physi-
clans and surgeons has used it in
numerous clinics after series OF eX-
periments upon animals.
The anesthetic, introduced into
the intestine, causes the patient to
lost consciousness within minutes
and come fully under the influence
after z or minutes have elapsed,
Prof. Unger asserted in a lacture. He
declared that nervousness, choking
and refiexes were absent and that
absolute relaxation is attained, with a
normal pulse, no alteration in blood
pressure, and natural breathing.
The after effects. in a majority Of
cases. are declared to be nil,' there
being no stomach sickness. while the
system absorbs the anesthetic so
quickly that within an hour no traces
are left. One of the corollary claims
is that it is effective in inducing "tWi-
light sleep" in childbirth.

TRUSTED PRISONER GETS
YEAR FOR AIDING ESCAPE
Bandit "Double-Crossed' Him
After Promising Share of
100000 Loot, He Says.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Kans., April 23.-
Charles N. Thompson, former assist
ant superintendent of the shoe fac
tory at Leavenworth Federal Prison,
pleaded guilty in Federal Court here
yesterday to assisting in the recent
escape of John P. Carroll, convict,
and was sentenced to a year in jail.
Carroll, who had been sentenced to
Leavenworth from Tulsa, Okla,
promised him a share Of $109, 900 BAN
dit loot for the escape, Thompson ad-
mitted. Carroll was placed in a large
shoe packing box, which was deliV-
cred to Thompson's room at Leaven-
worth. There Thompson released Car
roll and the two went to Memphis,
where the loot was supposed to have
been hidden. After a fruitless search
in stable there, Thompson went to
New Orleans, where he was ar
rested:
Thompson said he was confident the
loot was in the stable and believed he
had been "double-crossed" by Carroll,
who is still at large.
Judge Pollock granted Thompson's
plea that he be sent to jail instead of
back to the penitentiary, where he
had been a trusted employe.
