PARENTS GIVEN - GIRL; HOSPITAL SUEDJDR BOY Father Will Fight Case to Highest Court; Doctors Call It Mistake. By United Prett CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 14. A mother and father who believe they became the parents of a boy today stood ready to carry on their legal fight against hospital authorities who claim the infant was a girl. Sam Smith, 45-year-old father, testified before Judge Carl Weygandt yesterday that a baby was born to his wife three weeks ago and that physicians told him at the time it was a boy. Judge Weygandt, called upon to decide whether a substitution had been made, continued the hearing until later in the month, so a nurse, Miss Ruth Meyer, could return from a vacation and testify. Miss Meyer was present when the baby was born. Will Go to Court Smith told the United Press his story in detail today and said he would carry the case to the highest court in the State if necessary. Smith was shaving a man at his (barber shop on the day the baby was born, he said, when a hospital doctor telephoned him congratulations on being the father of a ninepound baby boy. He finished shaving the customer, closed his shop, and went to the hospital. In the maternity ward nurses told him the baby was a boy, he continued, and showed him she marker, “male,” on the infant’s arm. Wife Given Girl "A week later I visited the hospital again and found my wife crying,” Smith said. “She told me the nurses had brought her a baby girl.” “I’m fighting this case to make sure there was no substitution,” he said. “If it can be proved to us that the girl is our baby, that will be the end of the matter. “Meanwhile, the worry is causing my wife days of unnecessary illness. Neither df us is partial to boys. We All the Credit You Want at Cash Prices PENNSYLVANIA TIRES Consumers Tire Cos, 301 N. Delaware St.

‘Gyp’ Is Huge NBA Service PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 14. The American motoring public is taken in to the tune of $50,-000,000-annually by the operators of “gyp” automobile clubs, according to Ernest N. Smith, general manager of the American Automobile Association. A drawing card to these clubs usually consists of free or small rate insurance, free towing and low cost accessories, and is usually presented by a “high-powered” salesman.

wanted one, but a girl will do if it’s really our own.” The Smiths have four other children, three of them girls. Philip Vollmer Jr*., hospital superintendent, gave the United Press the other side of the story. “The mistake came in labeling the baby ,at birth,” he said. “Instead of marking the baby as a girl, the nurse in attendance, through some oversight, placed a male label on the child. We handle so many babies that the nurses depend on the label for reference. However, we finally brought the matter to Mrs. Smith’s attention and told her it was a girl. “If the hospital has caused any sorrow or anxiety to Mrs. Smith or her husband, we are sofry, and when take was made. There was no subpop up in any maternity hospital the hearing is resumed we’ll try to show definitely where the first misstitution as far as I can tell. Ji’s just the kind of a matter that may where many babies are handled.

SHOWING NEW DODGEMODEL Cabriolet Roadster Suggests Youth and Pep. The beautiful new Dodge Bros, cabriolet roadster being formany introduced today by T. A. Bell Company, local Dodge Bros, dealer. This cabriolet is typical of the new spirit which has characterized every car introduced this year by Dodge Bros, and is suggestive of the pep and enthusiasm of youth. Its armory green bedy, low-hung and with the implication of great speed, is attractively designed and makes it fully as striking as anything on the road. Performance is entirely in keeping with the smart appearance of the car. Few cars match it in acceleration—o to 25 miles per hour, through gears, in less than seven seconds, and no American four can pass it on the road. The top is clamped to the windshield pillars and can be easily and quickly folded down. It Is covered with heavy khaki top material which makes a striding color combination with the armory green of the body and the black fenders and shields. 0 The seats are upholstered with green leather to harmonize with the predominant body color. The rumble seat is wide and the leg room is more than ample for

It remained for three Chrysler “70’s” to lift the prize so Intimately associated with American backgrounds, in a competition which Included teams of eleven well known European and American makes.
