Painless Birth.
We're Not Rich-Yet
She Married Six.
Said Solon to Croesus.
1 By Arthur Brisbane !
(Copyrteht 1927. Star Co.)
Two doctors of New York's
Ci lying-in hospital are said to
have developed a' method of
bringing children into the
' world without pain and with
out the danger that attends use
of ether or the so-called "twi
light sleep."
The new method, called the
"analgesia method," eliminates
pain without eliminating con
sciousness. If Doctors Asa Da
vis and William Gwathney ac
complish this result, their
names should live forever.
Professor Fisher, of Yale,
-says that eighty per cent of
Americans earn barely a living.
It depends on what you call a
, living. The average income of
those in "gainful professions"
is z,uuu a year. Unce you
could have bought two strong
slaves for that money,' and
worked them all their lives
without wages.
Two thousand dollars a year
for the "gainful employed,"
however, only means $500 a
year average for the total pop
ulation. The country's total
income is ninety thousand mil
lion dollars, not enough by far,
but as the comedian said:
"Better than being hit on the
head with a sharp stone."
A Chicago lady who married
six husbands is in jail. That
would have ' seemed , harsh
when polyandry-was the fash
ion in many parts of the
world. Read Westermarck's big
history of marriage for full de
tails and learn how nicely the
numerous husbands got along,
one or more out hunting, while
one or more stayed at home.
The husband "group" were
often brothers, the oldest mar
ried the lady first, the younger
brothers marrying her as they j the case and opening statements of
grew up. The oldest kept the j counsel and the Interrogation of

didn't have to go hunting.
The trouble with our domes
tic felicity, however, is not
polyandry, but polygamy and
man's "double standard."
We are rich in
things, possessing more auto
mobiles than all other, countries
put together, and according to
a federal survey, 685 radio
stations, more than all the rest
of the world combined.
Too bad they can't say the
same about flying machines.

his gold to Solon it's worth

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28. By a
strictly party vote, the bouse ways
uud means committee agreed to
day to recommend that the pro
posed reduction in the tax on cor
poration incomes be made effec
tive on tax ' payments due next
March 15.
The committee acted over the
protest of the solid democratic
membership who contended that
the rate cut from 131 to Hi per
cent should not be made effective
until March, 1929. The vote was
13 republlcaus against 10 demo
crats. Democrats argued that corpora
tions already hud passed the 1WX
tux on to the consumer and by
making the reduction effective on
income earned in 1927, the cor
poration alone would benefit, lie
publican members contended thut
corporations should receive the
benefit of the proposed reduction
u& soon as possible.
The committee also voted to re
duce the tax on the income of In

this would result in a loss in reve
