Private exchange connecting all departments, Children and Our Divorce Courts! | UDGE KENNETH MACKINTOSH of the King county superior court is treating the people to a refreshing display of common sense on the bench, in refusing to follow the judicial custom of granting divorces in cases where chil- dren are involved, without first ordering an investigation to find out if a reconciliation is not possible. The Star has called attention to the ruthless legal sep- aration of parents, without thought of the children, which has become of such frequent occurrence in our courts as to be taken as a matter of course. A plaintiff appears with her children. Her attorney mumbles a few words to the court If there is no contest a decree is granted in jig-time and the next case called. And now Judge Mackintosh has given ear to the silent pleading of the children of unhappy parents. He recognizes their rights. He is putting into operation a plan to guard them. Yesterday, he referred three cases in which children are involved to the prosecuting attorney for further investigation. His lead, followed by the other judges, would mean fewer shattered homes, fewer broken hearts and fewer children who are strangers to one or both of their parents. When Doctors Disagree N ado has been stirred among the doctors of Wisconsin ; | over the new marriage Jaw requiring a doctor's certificate based on “the application of recognized clinical and labora tests of scientific search,” and especially on the $3 fee, h they're agreed isn’t enough What the authors of this law were after, of course, was “chiefly to prevent pure women from being mated to diseased “men. In their attempts to discredit rather than back up and igthen the law, some of the medical brethren appear to be in danger of weakening public confidence in their own To search for latent disease it would be necessary, they iy, to apply four Wasserman tests a month apart (each cost- $10 to $15); then a Noguchi test; then puncture the spinal cord, draw out some of the spinal fluid and test that; and, if "results so far proved to be negative, the final test would be to icture the skull, extract a bit of brain and scrutinize it iMeler the microscope to see if it contained any germs. Meanwhile, all spinal reflexes would have to be tested; all of the body and joints examined, as well as the liver, ; and throat; and then, six or more months having passed,| il the patient still lived, the doctor might pronounce him ready matrimony, though scientifically he couldn't yet be abso- sure. : ‘ow the doctors have been citing all this rigmarole to} that a $3 fee isn’t enough to pay for the work which | law wants performed. Tt probably isn’t; and the fee basis of payment isn’t the| yaad either—-Wisconsin should have its own physicians, , to look after the health of its citizens; and then iquibbles over fecs would not arise. But what are we to think of doctors who thus publicly their inability to trace syphilis, yet at the same time ect an increased fee?
