They say that if the father had the first baby and the mother the second, and they had to take turns. there would never be third; l be- lieve 1t.
 Now this Is no diatribe against fathers or even incipient ones. But 1t is an arraignment against the male sex in general, becaus 1t is men who excel in scientific research and there seems to be q lethal panacea now for almost every sort of suffering on earth except childbirth.
 Complete anesthesia cannot be permitted at his time for several reasons. Moreover. many hours of suffering are endured before any an ,esthetic can be administered what ever. That Is, as far as we know, it cannot. for we do not know very much--yct.
 True there arc methods-I do not know the names by which they arc called, probably off-shoots of the old twilight sleep" that never gained much ground in this country, but they seem to be accessible only to the rich or those within reach of large city hospitals.
 The enormous range of women in the United States who bear chill dren have their larger percentage outside this limit. have felt for years the crying need for q general and safe form of anesthesia that would be possible for all women if It could be three things-inexpensiv endorsed by the medical profession generally. and would not be too diff ficult of administration.
 Now cones the new book. "Eas- AN.- IL. lg- ...A. Todd, and am wondering if those women ascending to heaven in all the centuries are about to be an- swered, including my own.
 ts Mrs Todd discusses . new form of anesthesia or rather analgesia-- there is diffcrence-called the "Gwathmey technic.'
 1t seems to go farther than the old method of partial relief and has met with the approval of many phy- sicians over the country. True, there are some doctors who are slow to endorse 1t. and probably for their own good reasons. For one thing no two people react precisely the same to any treatment, so consequently there can never be an absolute standardization of anesthetizing in chlldDlrth.
 But when read this book could not help feeling that we are getting somewhere at last. If only we could overcome that old superstition tfor -ie amounts to that) about ''women always suffercd--let them suffer-"
 The Gwathmey technic. 1t appears. Is inexpensive and safe. In the hands of competent practitioners. There will always be patients upon whom 1t is inadvisabie to use certain forms of treatment, of course, but nothing in medicine is infalliblo.
 If Dr Gwathmey and his col leagues have given tho women of the world something new under the sun. to make the bearing of children cas- Ter and hrppier, can afford to be niagnanimous and apologize to all those laggards who have gonc before and who have failed utmost utterly.
 Let us hope we have something cal here; and believe we have.

Donald Payne sat down on the edges of the table. swung his long legs and ran his hand thruogh his rebellious hair as Sue asked her question. Have you learned any thing about whom?"
 About a certain young lady you and I both believe is as deadly as the serpent that crept into Eden. Reporters do little sleuthing just for fun now and then, you know. Anyway, I've been trailing the gal ... doing a Mary-and-a-little-la lamb stunt. And I haven't learned any thing since yesterday"
 But what did you learn yester- day?" Sue leaned across the table. propped her face in her palms and raised her dark blue eyes hope fully.
 "When you look at me like that forget that I ever learned any thing" the reporter answered. grinning. But you're good story. Darned If you aren't! You are so involved in all of this and yet so :. young!"

 There was another flash. Not such big one this time. And Sue realized that another picture had been made.
 Donald Payne slipped down from tho table. Thanks a lot. Miss Merryman, Of course you're not soft and not too harmless. :. but still insist you're sweet. I'm sorry to get you all riled up but l had to do 1t for n picture! We wanted to show you getting bellig- erent and there wasn't any other way. And remember this. I'm with you strong!

 Hear ye! Hear .ye! Hear ye! This court of common pleas Is now open pursuant to adjournment"
 That was all. Everyone sat down again. The women on the jury adjusted theirs skirts more comfortably. They would have to remain seated a while. The men on the jury looked bored or em- barrassed. The judge looked i'm portant. And Judge Thornton looked very old and tired.
 There was double drama in this case. Sue reflected in an under-8 current so low that she didn't know that 1t was present. A father and son were fighting against each other. And the son was opposing the father because of her! Jack whs defending her father!
 This would make a good cine- ma. Some scenario writer will be borrowing 1t for the movies.'A Cor- rinne whispered as though she whs thinking of the same thing.
 There was q little commoti6n near tho back of the courtroom. Sue glanced up. Sybil Lester wbs entering, slim and erect and arlstp- cratic in tailored black things ir- lieved with just enough white to be smart.
 "A bad move." Corrinne's vcite went on. ''She looks as though sho has snap and dash. but she's mountains removed. She should have done the feminine thing furs and laccs.

Lois and Nancy were busily com pairing notes. II served delicious macaroni and cheese the other night" said Nancy. "I had spaghet- ti with rich tomato sauce and you should have seen Roger eat and eat" After such praise there was nothing to do but to share recipes. Here Is the one which Lois gave Nancy:
 'I used one-half pound of spa ghetti. In a large saucepan I had two quarts of water with two tea spoons salt. When this was boiling I managed to slide the spaghetti into the water without breaking many of the slender pipe stems. I let the spaghetti cook in this boiling water for 25 minutes or until the spaghet- u was tender. Then I put 1t in the colander and let cold water run over 1t. just as you did when you pre- pared the macaroni. In the mean- time I had been making the sauce. It is rather intricate but the flavor of the finished sauce Is worth all the time and trouble,

JUDGE PREPARES
TREATISE UPON
RADICAL TRIAL

Vaughn Thompson, judge Of the
superior court here, today released
an article prepared by him on the
arrest, trial and conviction of eight
Communist workers in Imperial
Valley last summer, whose appeal
on their conviction is now pending
before the California appellate court.
The article by Judge Thompson
is in itself an indictment OF the
Communists and their methods 1t
tells of the beginning of Communist
activities in this valley, or the hiring
and work of two detectives who were
largely responsible for the arrest and
conviction of the Red leaders, and
of the trial, when the defendants
openly avowed that it was their in
tention to overthrow the United
States government.
During the trial. wrote Judge
Thompson, "the defendants assumed
Sneering attitude toward the
Court and the officers who were IN
charge of them, and attempted N
every possible way to create Ii riCt
or disturbance within the presence
of the jury, which would cause the
Officers to have to subdue some OF
them by force, with the hope of pre-
judicing the case, and, if possible,
causing a mistrial. 1t was only
with the greatest difficulty that the
trial was completed without such
thing happening
Judge Thompson called attention
to the names and nationalities If
the defendants, only one of whom
was probably of American parentage.
All except two refused to give their
personal history at the time OF
sentence, according to the judge.
In his article the judge cited nu-
merous portions of the evidence
given in the case to prove that the
alleged Communists were intending
to incite a national revolution,
Judge Thompson's article was writ
ten for the purpose of informing
members Of the American Legion in
particular, and other citizens, con-
cerning Communist activities IN I'M
perial Valley during the past year.

MEXICALI POLO
TEAM TO MEET
LOCAL OUTFIT

When the Ell Centre polo team
next swings its mallets in regu-
larly scheduled game it will be
against the newly formed Mexicali
cavalry four, according to indica-
tions in correspondence between the
local team and Captain Carlos Qui-
nones, captain of equipment in the
Mexican cavalry and chief of the
Mexicali team.
The game will be scheduled as
soon as the Mexican team is in shape
to play which will probably be with
in the next month. A letter received
yesterday afternoon by the secre-
tary of the FL Centro Riding and
Breakfast club carried an invitation
to FL Centro poloists to attend the
opening practice of the cavalry NAL
leteers and the information that the
Mexican squad will be glad to
schedule a game for the nearest pos
sible date.
Whether the game will be played
in MeXicali or El Centro has not yet
been decided. Each team has ex-
tended an invitation to the other
to watch practice sessions. 1t is
probable that the second real polo
game to be offered Imperial Valley
fans will be played some Sunday
within the next month.
Following the game with Mexicali
the FL Centre team may again meet
the Yuma four, in an effort to
avenge the to 0 defeat handed it
on the fair grounds last Tuesday.
This game will be played on the Yu-
ma polo field. and will see the FL
Centrans go into the game far wiser
in the matter of experience.
A game with Mexicali will see two
teams well matched, since neither
has had great deal of experience
in playing polo. Hard riders may
be found on either team.
