Motor-bussed down here in the clear, cool early morning sunlight to look in on the Lamson murder trial. It took the double decked motor bin two hours and ten minutes to negotiate the 50 miles, so court had opened before we arrived. It looked none too promising with the hall packed with people who couldn't gain entrance, but an M. T. card got us a ringside seat in a chair marked for the Mountain View News. Lamson was on the stand being cross examined by District Attorney A. P. Lindsay who secured a conviction and quite a reputation in the first trial, and of course intends to secure a conviction at this one. The state supreme court granted a re trial, because the trial judge refused to allow certain defense experts to testify chief among them being E. 0. Ileinrich, the well known Berkeley criminologist, who was chiefly responsible for the capture o the D'Autremont boys. e e s If you met David Lamson on the street, he is the last man in the world you would put down as a wife beater, much less as a wife killer, accused of murdering his young wife, by beating her over the head with a piece of lead pipe, on Decoration Day morning two j enrs ago. Listening to him testify under a sledge hammer grilling, by a thick necked D. A. who talks through his nose didn't weaken that impression. We listened to this cross examination until 5 p. m. when court adjourned for the day, and had an opportunity to study the defendant under varying conditions, for nearly five hours, and nt the close, felt more baffled than ever. That is what makes the Lanmon murder case, one of the most interesting in modern criminal history, it is so entirely impos sible to accept this cultured, well mannered, highly intelligent, publicity directory of the Stanford University press, as a crim inal type of any sort. Yet no one who studies the case can deny thnt the evidence and the logic of the evidence is all against him. Lamson is very good looking, not at all the flashy, movie star type, but the quiet, dignified, thoughtful type. He has the high well molded forehead of the student; and the thin delicate hands of the artist, His hair is thick nnd dark, fitting his head closely, his eyes are dark too, large and round, his gaze direct and steady. He was on the spot the hardest spot of the trial thus far, under a grilling cross examination by the state, following his direct testimony; and yet if he felt nervous or uneasy, he gave not the slightest indication of it. He was extremely serious, intent on every question he was asked, slow and meticulous in his replies, and while vague in some of his answers, gave a most interesting and plausible explanation for that vagueness. "You have some trouble remembering things that happened that, morning" observed Attorney Lindsay, after one of these "I don't remember" rejoinders. "Yes I have" was the reply, "mav I explain just whv, Mr. Lindsay? It's this way. When bathroom that morning. DEAD, to fall about me, nothing that clear in any normal sense It's rather like being suddenly thrown into a heavy sea there would be a blank as one wave would strike me, then after it passed jind before the next one came, everything woulfl be clear, and then everything would go blank again. I do remember certain things clearly, and other things not at all as if there was darkness, then flashes of lightning and all that I retained was what happened during those stances I think it was natural to have'neither a clear nor a consesutive picture of what occurred afterward, that is why soma questions you ask me I can't answer, I honestly don't know, and others I can." Clearly a person of sensibility and imagination talking. And yet such a neat and ingenuous alibi for inability to remember, anything that might be damaging to his case, one couldn't blame the V. A, for putting tremendous low voice "Oh I SEE!" During the noon recess we talked with some of the newspaper boys covering the case there are about 20, and one representa tive of a magazine and they aUtsaid Lamson in his cross exam ination had mado the most favorable impression thus far. As one of them explained, "In his first trial he Idkt his tem per several times, an.) lost his nerve too. The poor bird con victed himself. This time he is doing his stuff much better and of course he has a better lawyer. Then hell a man ought to no lienor in ins second murder trial than his first, just as an actor can do better WITH a rehearsal, than without one." e e e a If left to the newspaper boys, however, Lamson wouldn't have much chance. They like him, and feel sorry for him, but bolievo him guilty as Hades. We found only one who had any doubt and she was a woman reporter, who they say, is a personal irienn oi i.amson s sister. Stic sat on our left and took copious notes talking with Lamson inside the rail DURING the recess. e a e However newspapers don't try eases and newspaper report ers, fortunately don't decide them. Judging by the conversation heard among the spectators duriug the intermissions, most of them women the sentiment is all pro-Lamson. We heard so much of it without making any special effort we about conclud ed there was an organized effort to get the ear of a new news paper man, and steer him in the right direction. The burden of this talk was the obvious sincerity, gentility, convincing earnestness of the man he was "so patient" with the roughneck D. A. and so obviously determined to tell all he knew. He simply couldn't have done such a thing, and as one woman expressed it "I have tried to be absolutely objective and impersonal in my judgment and I simply can't picture Dave Lamson killing anyone. However there have been GENTLEMEN murderers before. And we have yet to understand how a woman could fall from a bath tub. hit her head on a wash stand three feet away, fall buck in the tub, and proceed to die unassisted with three TIIHEE fractures of the skull!

Some time In 1928 Drs. K. Tfi. Appel. C. B. Parr and H. K. Mar shall published a report of their experience In the um of Insulin to enable numerous mental patients to gain some needed flesh. Six teen male pa tients made an average gain of three pounds a week and 13 female pa tients gained an average of 3.4 pounds & week, on doses of from $ to 35 units of Insulin dally for per iods of from two to eight weeks. Along with the insulin the patients received a diet which yielded around 4,000 calories a day. Orange Juice was always kept at hand for any patient who manifested any symp toms of overdose of Insulin, as it should be kept at hand by every patient receiving Insulin.' Dr. Nellls B. Poster, in an article on Insulin publshed in 1930 sold: "Why so " many physicians seem to be afraid of Insulin la beyond my comprehension. A normal person can take from 5 to 10 units of Insulin with no notable effect. Prom 10 to 20 units a couple of times a day - la an ideal way to stimulate the appetite. Recently I had a lad i . . . Physical wreck after a se vere siege of pneumonia. He had no appetite; nothing tempted him. So he was given 20 units of Insulin before breakfast and dinner nnd the result was mar velous. He became ravenous." Further on this same authority. discussing now the treatment of diabetes, says he has no patience with the all to common custom of the physician administering the In sulin. He declares that any Intelli gent person may be Instructed how to administer his own Insulin, and often children 10 years old do It with perfect technic. In an article by Dr. James J.

German physicians who have used this treatment with satisfaction ad vocate higher doses of insulin, as much aa 20 units three times a day. With these larger doses of course the patient should take larger meals or more carbohydrate. Every person receiving Insulin, no matter for what purpose, should have always at hand either some or ange Juice or a snack of oandy, sug ar or milk chocolate or sweet milk, and take some such carbohydrate food at once if he feel any unusual weakness or queer spell at any time within three hours after his dose of insulin.

HERE la a little story, known to this writer to be true, that should Interest you: The head of a family, here in Southern Oregon, had been on rellei throughout the early part of the winter. He didn't like being on re lief, and kept hunting a Job. Eventu ally, he found one. Then, shortly after he got his Job, but before he had time to accumu late any money, his wife became ex tremely ill and had to be taken to hospital, HE HAD no money with which to guarantee his hospital bill, so he applied to the relief for help. But because he waa no longer on relief, having left the ranks of the Indigent and Joined the ranka ot the unemployed, nothing could be done for him. Fortunately, he had some friends and some credit and the hospital management was kindly,' so his wile was taken care of. It will take him quite a while, of course, to pay bis bill, but he isn't complaining about that. He believes in paying his bills. HERE Is the point: If he had LIKED belne on re lief, and had been willing to remain there indefinitely, his hospital bill would have been paid for him. But because he doesn't like being on re lief, and alms to make his own way in the world If there is half a chance, he has to pay the bill him self. It shoifld be repeated that he Isn't complaining. W HAT is here said isn't Mid In criticism of the relief authorl- ties. They were following the rules laid down for them. These rules. In all probability, are reasonable rules. Re lief ISN'T for those . who are able to help themselves. It Is for those who CAN'T help themselves, and therefore have to be helped by some one else. We (meaning by "we" the public at large) can't take care of every' body who needs a little help. The best we can hope to do is to care in some manner for those who are absolutely unable to care for them selves. Even at that, the demands on the relief funds are greater than can be met. IjUT here is aTroublesome thought: Those who are perfectly satis- fled to do so can remain on reliei and have all their bills, including hnipitAl bills In case of serious ill' ness, paid for them by government which means the public whereas those sturdier citizens who believe in taking care of themselves, and so' get out and hustle for Jobs, must shoulder all the responsibilities In volved In taking care of themselves. If that system la LONG CON TINUED, what Is It going to do to the character of the American peo ple? . ' i WE CANT d'ropreltef, of, course right now. But we OUGHT to drop it at the earliest possible moment, because a system that makes It easier to oo nothing and let the government look out for all our needs than It is to get out and hustle and look out for ourselves isn't a good system lor any people.
