Carroll Given
Another Chance

Dionecio Carroll, 23, forgot how
long he was supposed to remain
away from Ell Centro, and came
back too soon after being released
by Judge j. E. Simpson of the FL
Centro police court on the condi-
ton that he leave town.
So last night Carroll was arrested
again, with the same old charge
of vagrancy hanging over his head,
and once again Judge Simpson re-
leased him on condition he leave
Ell Centre.
Several other defendants ap-
peared before Judge Simpson this
morning on a crowded police court
docket.
Ray Henry, Al, was fined $l0O
for possession of liquor, and the
fine suspended during his good be-
havior. Hazel Monk, 81, and Helen
Ross, 25, failed to appear on
charges of vagrancy. They had
posted S25 bail for their appear
ance this morning, but Judge
Simpson continued the cases.
John H. Barker, "a, was released
to pay a $50 fine for reckless driv-
ing. William Lynch, "a, was re-
leased to pay a S. fine for drunk
ennesS.
Benito Fernandez, 40, paid a $40
fine for Vagrancy, while Casey
DeCler, 40, paid a $5 fine for
drunkenness. Ray Riley, "a, was
sentenced to 20 days in the county
Jail for being drunk and disturbing
the peace. w. Ferrell, 25, was re-
leased to pay a fine of $40 for
drunkenness, within two weeks.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Eggshell as Food

Reading how some scientists are
puzzled over the way hen produces
eggshell, I am prompted to ask
whether the eating of eggShell would
not make good the calcium deficiency
you doctors say our refined diet has.
Eggshell is almost pure calcium car
Donate. I have been drying eggshells
thoroughly. powdering finely and
sprinkling the powdered shell on my
chops and in my chow. How about
it, Doctor? Gus.
Answe r-Eggshell, oyster shell,
bone and chalk are all practically the
same thing, calcium carbonate.
Probably the body can utilize this
calcium if there is a shortage of cal

Syphilis
Eight years ago I had syphilis.
Physician gave me just one shot of
606, and also used some kind of rays
to burn off LESSONS. After he said I
was well he took a blood test and
later he reported I was all right. So
far as I am aware I am all right.
But I'm worried. If should marry
would my children be likely to be
defective in any way? q. KD
Answer-The diagnosis is question
able if the cure was SO quickly eff
fected. Or the cure is questionable
if the diagnosis was correct. If either
parent has syphilis when the child is
conceived the child is likely to be
syphilitic at birth. You should not
contemplate marriage until a COM
petent and reputable physician has
certified that you are free from
syphilis.

Madame Shuman Heink

Madame Shuman Heink is not ask
ing for sympathy because She has
invaded the five and ten cent movies
to add to her income. Some musical
critics have been plying her be-
cause she joined a Pacific coast
chain of theaters under contract
to appear several times a day.
The great diva can be heard
for twenty-five cents before 2.3O p.
m. Thereafter the fee rises but far
below what one paid few years ago
before age put the inevitable tremolo
in the marvellous throat of the great
and beloved singer.
She frankly explains that she
needs the money and if her public
can not seek her out in the high
priced temples of classic music she
will find her public in the movies
and give them the programs they
like to hear Evidently Madame
Shuman Heink finds the new role
profitable and pleasant. There are
few more human singers than she is
or any that respond more sympath-
etically to an enthusiastic audience.
The great voice has gone to some
extent, but there is still great power
and expression there. She puts soul
and expression into her work, and
even though not ''in voice as of old
she is SO far superior to the average
singer met in such theaters as to be
still great box office attraction.

preston on Wiseacres who are con-
tent with their intuition.
A wiseacre suffered a puncture OF
the palm from a splinter of wood.
He neglected to apply tincture OF
iodin as a first aid disinfectant, and
he failed to protect the wound, after
extraction of the splinter, with
dressing to exclude further infection,
such as a covering of adhesive plas-
ter, or pad of sterile gauze and a
bandage, or a coating of flexible COL
lodion. The puncture became infect
ed and festered or suppurated. Then
the wiseacre began to apply antisep-
tics, trying one after another, while
the hand became sorer and sorer.
Finally he curbstoned a physician.
The doctor. instead of suggesting
that the beggar call at the office or
consult surgeon or something, ad-
vised large hot moist dressings over
night. This sounded too homely and
the wiseacre did not follow the adj
vice. Somebody else came along and
asked if he had tried germicidal soap
!. He had tried half dozen other
presumably potent germ destroyerS
but not germ killing soap -. to
make a sad story short the hand
finally required deep incision and
drainage.
Any good toilet or laundry soap is
an effective antiseptic. Indeed, it is
doubtful whether you can apply a
more effective antiseptic dressing to

Would women fare better as COM

Miss Harriette Houghton, Of the

A number Of these characteristics
of salary earning women, as follows:
understanding Of the Importance
of good health; emotional balance;
desire and capacity for hard work;
appreciation of high standards of
workmanship; ability to do objective
thinking; ability to see ones work in
relation to that of others; belief in
the integrity Of ones self and one's
work; generous attitude toward the
ability and work of others; courage.
A number Of these characteristics
seem undoubtedly to be stronger in
women than men in the higher
