If We're a Judge
By ELSIE ROBINSON

I BET SHE WOULD!
II were Judge
And some disgruntled husband
came to me requesting divorce
Saying that his wife was no
longer his mental companion -
that she cared only for house
work and babies--that she didn't
understand him-that she was as
dull as dishwater and. in short,
a complete Flat Tire
I'd grant him divorce on one
condition--THAT HE WORKED
FIRST FOR SIX MONTHS AS
WIFE AND MOTHER IN THE
AVERAGE HOME.
I'd let his rest be broken
nightly by a crying baby.
I'd let each day be filled with a
repetition of tiresome duties,
duties for which he had no deep
interest and in which he could
take no great pride
I'd let him see what effect the
drudgery and monotony, of cook
ing, ironing, mending, scrubb1ng,
nursing, baby-tending and other
domestic chores have on
woman's health. looks. disposition,
pep and intelligence after she has
done them for IA hours a day,
seven days in the week. four
weeks in the month, II months in
the year. year after year until
the children are grown.
I'd force him, for those six
months. to give up all his pet
amusements and ambitions, and
subordinate all his personal In
terests to the service of others
I'd make him experience the
terrors of boredom and self-pity
which gradually undermine a
mothers pride and against which
she fights so helplessly in her
Id wreck his perspective by
petty irritations until mole hills
appeared as mountains and his
whole being hungered for COM
fort and understanding and fresh
ening-
And then when he was down
and out and had taken the count,
I'd ask him il he understood his
wife's dizziness a little better.

on the basis Of a long profess
sional experience involving some
thousands of cases, more particu-
larry of epilepsy.
AS long ago as 1903, Pinel said
that the primitive seat of insanity
was in the region OF the stomach
and intestines, and that disorder
of intelligence propagated itself
from the center as "by 4 species
of irradiation."
We now know that very many

In the early days of gastric
surgery. says Sir Berkeley Mony-
han, it was quite common to
operate on patients who had been
for many years branded as "neu.
rotic." For long time they had
complained of pain after taking
food; they had been thin, queru-
lous, ill.tempered and hard to live
with, and their dispositions had
not been improved by the re-
peated denial Of the reality OF
their sufferings. On the operating
table they were found to nave
advanced organic disease or the
stomach. All surgeons know how
common such patients are.
The lesson is that no one
should be condemned as being
"neurotic" before it is quite
certain that he is not SuTteflnS

surgeons hesitate to operate on

for obstruction of the bile duct
and chronic infection of the

surgeons would have quaiied at
the idea of operating upon people
whose mental condition was so
bad.
He once operated upon dis.

had to be secluded for two long
periods for mental disorder. The
patient was suffering from chronic
appendicitis and gastric ulcer and
regarded the operation with ter
ror. Nevertheless, the routine
was followed of removing mis- bad
teeth, a very important point,
and the operation was duly per-
formed. That was several years
ago and the mind Of that doctor
has been perfectly clear and strong
ever since. 3~

IF I were a Judge
And some unhappy wife
came to me asking a divorce
Because her husband didn't act
like a lover any more and
wouldn't take her out to parties,
and had no sympathy with domes-
tic troubles and growled at the
bills and threw fit IL meals
were late or the house untidy or
the children noisy
IL a wife poured forth such a
tale to me i would grant her a
divorce os one condition-THAT
SHE UNDERTAKE. FOR SIX
MONTHS TO SUPPORT SOME
WOMAN AND HER CHILDREN.
I'd let her discover how it feels
to ooze out in the chill, gray
dawn while the missis lies snug
in bed
How it seems to drudge for
eight hours under the buzzard eye
of the boss-no half hour off to
lie down and read that snappy
serial-no neighborlv phone calls
or chats over the back fence
just steady ind for eight
mortal hours at the same old job
In the same old chair with the
same old sonuvagun yelling at
you for speed.
I'd led her discover what 1t
means to wake and sleep with
the thought of Another's Need
tap-tap-tapping at brain and
heart like an internal riveting
machine. How it seems to be
gripped by that nightmare which
every man knows--the nightmare
of What-Would Happen-If-I.Fell-
Sick.
I'd let her discover what it
means to slug along ali day, look.
ing ahead to the evenings rest as
a starving man looks to meal,
and then come home to nagging
and confusion, an empty kitchen
Or wife gone gadding to the
movies.
I'd give her a taste of what
debt means to driven man
and how whining wakes a million
devils in his weary soul
And then, when the six months
were over, I'd ask her if she
understood her husbands cruelty"
