The one-fifteenth of an inch rain fall was appreciated as far as it went but the soils needs a real drink rather than a teaser like that.

President Roosevelt says he will protect the small business man himself and the average fellow will 2 feel safer about that arrangement than to work under Darrow's committee.

The mother of nearly every American child born in a hospital was , keenly interested four years ago ' when a widely publicized mixup was reported from a Chicago institution. Two boys were born on June 30, 1930. The tags apparently . were t ransposed and the mothers j

were frantic in thoh fekr that they had been assigned the wrong Infant. The story naturally attracted nation wide attention because p of the human Interest to every American parent. Science mustered all ot its agencies In an attempt 1 * to determine whether attendants had made an error, blood tests. '• finger ami foot prints were made. ' Lawyers ended the controversy. The mothers affected a temporary adjustment ot the problem by ’ swapping babies. Though both apj proved the transfer, believing they ’ had thus obtained their rightful ? offspring, a shadow of doubt must ) have lingered In the mind of each. 5 The trade was prompted more by "hunches ' than any purported evidence of scientific tests. The public in time forgot all about the case. The youngsters pursued the normal course ot growing boys. They are now almost 1 years old and have had time to display some . parental likenesses. One mother boasts that her son is the image of his father and the other notes ’ that her hopeful has all of the sum--1 ily traits. Time thus has solved this perplexing and. for a time, heart breaking problem. The least i vestige of doubt has been eliminated. Furthermore, the two mothI ers have scored another victory for intuition, which is a more refined terminology for “playing a hunch."

ATTORNEYS!!) APPEAL CASE Conviction of To u h y Gangsters Will Be Appealed Springfield, ill.. May 23.— (U.R) — Attorneys for Roger Touhy today notified Deputy Attorney General J. J. Nelger that they plan an appeal to the state supreme court from the conviction of Touhy and throe others for the kidnaping of John Factor. Factor's extradition to England has been delayed in anticipation of such an appeal. Nelger indicated that he expect-1 ed the appeal to be based on a contention that tile Cook county grand jury indicting Touhy and his companions was illegally drawn. Convicted in connection with the s<U.uoo abduction besides Touhy were Basil Bangliart, Albert Kator and Gustave Schaeffer. Each was sentenced to a term of 99 years in prison. The principal prosecution witness was Factor himself who volunteered to aid the government despite the fact that he is wanted in England on charges of defrauding investors out of $7,000,000. Factor, colorful character who earned the nickname “Jake the barber" because he got his start in a Halsted street barber shop, has been held in jail at Sycamore. 111., pending removal to England which purposely was delayed in the event a new trial was granted Touhy and his confederates in an appeal.
