A DOCTOR MUST TELL.
DEFINITE RULING IN THE DIVORCE COURT.
OLD CONTROVERSY.
It has been ruled in the Divorce Court that "a doctor must tell."
The whole controversy of medi- cal secrecy respecting the Illnesses of patients is thus opened afresh.
Lord Merrivale was very empha- tic. He made it clear"that;
If a doctor is called to give evi- dence before him he must do so or he wll be sent to prison for contempt of court. '.

The story of "Embarrassing Moments" is the work of Earle Snell, who, with Gladya Lehman, handled the continuity.
In an interview Dr. Bayly sald: "I consider. its absolutely essential for the health of the community that complete conf. dence should exist between doctor and patient.

FRIENDS' VIEWS. ON THE
· DEATH PENALTY.
Evidence of objection to the death penalty was heard by the
Committee on Select
Capital Punishment from representatives of the Society of Friends.
Mr. Carl Heath said:
"We take our stand on the faith that every human life is of in- estimable value and contains the possibilities of moral reclamation."
The chairman (Rev. J. Barr): Even in the most abandoned?
Mr. Heath: Yes, we regard Christian teaching of the wrongful- ness of murder as binding not only upon individuals, but also upon communities. On these grounds we base our opposition to legal killing, Not Necessary, "There is no penalty that brings such distress as the death penalty, he added, "and we hold that capital punishment is not necessary as.a deferrent."
The considerate and Christian treatment of an offender was as pos sible in the case of murder as with other crimes.

Here is "a" picture and there is not a word of dialogue in its entire footage. This, alone, in u day when talkers are rapidly es tablishing a new show world, is ample recommendation for your seeing it twice or three times. It is a big picture-one which is too big even for dialogue. But it should be said right here that the excellent musical score, composed by Wm. Frederick Peters, which a de- accompanies the picture is lightful supplement to the visual interest which the film arouses.
The story is based on the famous novel of British soldier life in the Sudan, "The Four Fea- there" written by A. E. W. Mason and often referred to as the "Bri- tish bible of courage."..
"By destroying this confidence between doctor and patient it will prevent married patients consult- ing a doctor at all.
"This law will not be altered as long an doctors give way to the courts. Therefore, in my opinion, it is the duty of the doctor to re fuse to divulge his, professional conndences, whatever the conse quences to himself must be."
"I Would Refusé Unless" The action which brought up the question was one in which Mrs. Rachel Irene Lindsey, of Den- mark-terrace, Brighton, sought the dissolution of her marriage with Mr. Joseph Lindsey on the ground of his misconduct, which was not denied.
One of his replies was: "I have been a prisoner myself because I refused to murder."
Wrong to Execute. Mr. Lovat Fraser: Neil Cream poisoned three women and one man was in prison in America. He there and let out after ten years.. Then he came here and poisoned four more people. Do you think it was wrong to execute him?--Yes, and it also bears out that mere im- prisonment is not enough.
Mr. Lovat Fraser:. If he had been executed in America four lives would have been saved here?

Mr. Barrett Brown said that he could not think adequate attention had been paid to Cream's mental state.
Miss Margery Fry, Principal of Somerville College, Oxford, suggest- ed the advisability of climinating, so far as possible, factors which made murder casy by restrictions on the sale of. poisons and on the insurance of the lives of other per Rons.
