Last week Dr. Samuel Mayer Dodek, 32, of Washington, offered obstetricians a neat little device which gives a description of a woman's every significant movement during parturition.

Brent and Gable once acted together in Manhattan with Alice Brady in Love, Honor & Betray, were sometimes mis taken for each other. They are both tall, dark, wide-eyed, slow-moving. Both dress well, move their mouths a good deal when they talk, but they look not much alike. Brent, 28, an Irish newsman's son, was born and educated in Dublin. He joined the famed...
