LEGION BOWS IN TRIBUTE TO VERDUN DEAD Pershing and Men Pay Visit to Spot Where 1,000,000 Gave Up Lives. (GRAVES UNIDENTIFIED Story of Choosing Unknown Soldier of France Is Repeated. By United Free* VERDUN, France, Sept. 21. America knelt today In reverence and respect before more than one million dead.

| The martyred city of Verdun, Where occurred the greatest slaughter in history, was visited by Gen. John J. Pershing, one thousand American Legionnaires, Premier Poincare, Marshal Petaln, who defended the city in time of war, and other notables. This town of a few thousand of living persons and of hundreds of thousands of the dead slowly rising from the ashes of battle. It was decorated gaily today with French and American flags. Verdun Is a great city when her graves are counted. Staked 600,000 Lives It was here that the German Crown Prince, proudly wearing the helmet of the “Death’s Head Hussars, staked and lost 600,000 lives In an effort to capture the citadel at Verdun. France spent 400,000 lives to save it. Those million men and others who fell here comprise Verdun’s unseen but ever present population. Hundreds of thousands of them never will be identified. Pershing and the Legionnaires visited the cemetery where lie the seven unidentified soldiers from whose anks were chosen an eighth, who became the Unknown Soldier Cf France in a tomb beneath the Arch of Triumph. The visitors were told of the role played by the dead men. Shortly after the war eight coffins were brought to the citadel from the blood-soaked fields. It was known .only that they contained the bodies tot French soldiers. A young toldier of the Verdun gixrison was chosen by lot to select the hero who was to become a national symbol. Youth Collapses A bouquet of tri-colored flowers were in the young soldier’s hand. Long he lingered over his task The youth almost collapsed before reaching a final choice, which he indicated by tossing the flowers on the elected coffin. From the cemetery where lie 100,000 French dead, the offlcM party went to Douaumcnt, one of the Verdun forts, where Poincare recently inaugurated an imposing tower of memory in which are to repose the remains of 300,000 dead who hitherto h' 1 no sepulchre. Their remains are being patiently gathered from the battle fields by a French priest, who has devoted his life to the task. The tower was principally financed with American subscriptions. Want War Unit Reorganized PARIS, Sept. 21.—Reorganization of the administration of the national defense of the United States was proposed and approved today by the American Legion convention here. The legion adopted a resolution favoring thei organization of a department of national defense in which there would be four divisions, one each for the army, navy air service and munitions. Each division would have a separate chief | under a departmental secretary, 'who would be a member of the cabinet. Leglonalres Drink Beer There’s far less drinking in Paris now, with 30,000 American legionaires and their friends in town, than during any recent convention in the French capital, Capt. Aman Ouhr said. Captain Muhr Is in charge of the legion’s private police force in Montmartre, which is working in conjunction with the Paris police. Thus far the Paris police have arrested not a single one of the visitors. Muhr said the leglonalres prefer fleer. Legionnaires cheered and sang the praise of the “doughnut girls” as Evangeline Booth, national commander of the Salvation Army, rose to address the convention today. “The Salvation Army owes much to the Legion,” said Commander Booth, “for it was the returned soldiers who spread stories which brought us the fame and popularity which enabled us greatly to increase our post-war social work.” William Fortune, Red Cross national representative, pledged continued assistance to needy veterans. The post-war work of the Knights of Columbus among soldiers was outlined by Dr. J. Callahan, supreme treasurer. He said the K. of C. spent $43,000,000 in the work. lowa Band Wins Mrs. Walter Davol, East Providence, R. 1., was elected chapeau national of the “Eight and Forty" welfare organization of the Legion’s women’s auxiliary.

B. E. THOMPSON

Bernard Thompson Teaching Big Class and Wants More to Join.

Would you like to "play your way through college” on a harmonica? Such is the question Bernard E. Thompson, 31, of 505 N. Drexel Ave., is asking neighborhood boys.. Thompson, head teller at Fletcher Savings and Trust Companw savings department, was unable to go to college himself, but he wants to help others to secure a university education. Every Tuesday night he teaches a harmonica claims of fifteen to twenty boys. He is anxious to recruit fifty youths to form a band and “play their way through school.” The class played last Sunday at Linwood Christian Church. John Judkins, winner of the Times-Publix harmonica contest, was his pupil. Thompson first organized a harmonica band while on the “firing line” in France during the world war. He was only 19, and while playing for “buddies” one day a soldier said, "why can’t two of us do that?” Organization of a band followed. “Most folks play a harmonica by ear, but my students play from music. I teach them only classical music—no jazz,’ he said.

HALT W.C.T.U. CONFLICT ON MEETING EVE Retiring President Asserts She’ll Work Mow for Peace in Group. MEMBERSHIP SLUMPS 'Good Men and Good Women’ Hit for Failure to Back Prohibition. At the very edge of what might have been a battlefield, Mrs. Bert S. Gadd, former president of the Central W. C. T. U., today hoisted the white flag of self-sacrifice and withdrew, in a mjve to end t’-? turmoil resulting from factional warfare between her friends and those of Mrs. W. W. Reedy. Mrs. Reedy succeeded Mrs. Gadd as president last week. Until this morning it appeared as if the fight was to be carried to the floor of the Marion County W. C. T. U. convention, opening today in the Brooksldo United Bretheren Church. Mrs. Reedy’s faction had named a slate of delegates to the convention. So had Mrs. Gadd’s. Wants to Halt Fight But Mrs. Gadd today said: “I have too many worthwhile things to engage my attention other than continuing this wrangling, so I will not continue the fight. If Mrs. Reedy’s delegates want to take the seats, I will not formally protest. For a year we have been able to accomplish nothing because of this quarreling. It is time to put a stop to it.” So the Reedy delegates took seats today. Mrs. Reedy sat on the platform. Mrs. Gadd was not at the morning session. The fight started last week, when Mrs. Reedy was elected president to succeed Mrs. Gadd in a session in which the*rival factions indicated several time that they were close to hair pulling. It took'so long to elect a president that the election of other officers wes postponed until a later meeting. Then controversy arose as to whether Mrs. Reedy can take her office until the other- officers are elected and seated. Names Own Delegates Mrs. Gadd says she could not and under power of a motion passed at the%ast meeting proceed to name her own set of delegates to the convention. Mrs. Reedy says she is president and, accordingly, called a meeting at the Fletcher American Bank Bldg., at which thirty-five delegates were named. Delegates named by Mrs. Gadd: Miss Carrie Stayer and Mesdames E. Mae Hahn, Emma Flick, H. Stanford, J. F. Poe, C. R. Miles, T. A. Pearson, R. B. Stober, T. B. Wright, William Frost, A. G.

Assail “Good Folks" "The prohibition cause is betrayed not by those who come from the slums, not by those men we politically shun, but by the so-called good men and women who lack the courage to stand before the word and procaim what the women of this organization have proved they have the courage to do," declared the Rev. Forrest Reed, pastor of Brookside U. B. Church. M PIGEON CLUB TO MEET Charter in Racing Organization to Be Held Open Until Jan.

THE BABY NOBODY WANTS

Blood Tests to Be Used in Effort to Determine Whether Mother Has Ground for Insisting That Tiny Girl Is Not Her Infant.

EDITOR’S NOTE: A chubby, month-old baby girl born In the Fairview Park Hospital at Cleveland, Ohio, Is the center of one of the strongest, most tragic mlxups in medical history. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Smith, according to hospital records, are the parents of the little girl. But they Insist that the child born to Mrs. Smith at the hospital was a boy; they declare that hospital authorities mixed identification tags and Save them a girl my mistake, and uey are now prosecuting a law-suit in an effort to get from the hospital a baby boy born at the same time. Asa last resort, doctors have endeavored to determine, by blood tests, whether the girl baby actually Is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. What is the value of such tests? Can prospective mothers, on entering hospitals, be sure that thev wtU be given their own babies? What are the chances of mistake such as the Smiths allege was made by the Fairview Park Hospital? Dr. Morris Flshbeln, editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, and one of the foremost medical authorities In the country, has written the following article especially for 'The Indianapolis Times and NEA Service, telling medical science's best answers to these questions. His articles throws a new light on this perplexing and absorbing case. BY DR. FORBES FISHBEIN Editor of The Journal of the American Medical Association. mHERE is no definite 100 per cent perfect way of determining a child's parentage. Blood tests are about the best means science has. Yet they are by no means infallible. Within the b’ood of human being are certain factors that cause the red blood cells of other human beings to agglutinate, or clump togeth- r. It has been found that human beings may be divided into various groups, according to the numbers and characters of other persons with whom their blood thus reacts. This grouping, once established, is a stable matter and is Influenced but little by various changes in the manner of living or in the environment. • • • I——lT HAS bfen learned that these blord groups are in--1 * I herited, and that a specific agglutinating substance could not appear in a child unless it was present in one of the parents. This has been confirmed by numerous investigators all over the world, and the

By United Press EOLYOKE, Mass., Sept. 21. Mary and Margaret Gibbs, 14-year-old Siamese twins, whose lives have been endangered by influenza, today were reported out of danger.

Here Is “Baby Smith”—the month-old girl born at Fairview Park hospital, Cleveland, whose parentage is denied by Mrs. Sam Smith (left). Genetics Laboratory of North Carolina points out that two things are necessary before any character in the blood may be used in determining parentage: FIRST—One must be able to recognize without question the presence of the dominant factor in any person. Second—One must be absolutely sure of the heriditary behavior of the character. Hence it is still necessary to use extreme caution in applying these tests in medicolegal cases. Even if these factors are present in the

But late last night, when the doctors last took the temperatures, Mary’s had dropped to 101 and Margaret’s was normal.” • • SHE mother said It would be a few days before physicians could say definitely whether the twins would recover. Except for the fact that their bodies are joined at the hips, the twins are perfectly normal, and their present illness is the first serious sickness they have suffered. Mary contracted a severe cold last week. Soon, Margaret became affected. Doctors E. P. Bagg, Jr., and Arthur Kinne, were summoned. At a time when physicians believed the twins were recovering, Mary’s temperature began to climb. Pneumonia, which might end the lives of both girls, was feared. * * • P— | lIYSICIANS considered what steps might be taken in the event that one of the girls should die. They concluded that any operation designed to seperate the sisters who were welded together by nature almost surely would prove fatal. With a marked decline in Mary’s temperature and Margaret’s temperature normal, the doctors today were hopeful the crisis had been passed.

blood, they are not to be given undue importance. • * * ATERNITY hospitals as a rule are extremely careful to prevent mistakes in the identity of newly bom babies. Immediately after birth, steps are taken to make sure that each baby is properly accredit 3d to its own mother. Among the steps usually taken is, first, the pasting on the baby and on the mother, at the time of birth, of a piece of adhesive tape on which are printed In indelible ink the name of the mother and the number of the case. In many institutions, immediately on the birth of the child a necklace of beads bearing the name of the mother is clasped about the neck of the child. This necklace is not easily removed and cannot come off accidentally. In the Chicago Lying-In Hospital, and in many other institutions, the footmarks of the child are imprinted on its chart immediately after birth and before it is removed from the room in which it is bom. The footmarks serve as an absolute sign of identification. This is the most practical and certain method of identification. The printing of either fingers or palms is practically out of the question because of the intense and constant motion of the newly born baby. Since the ridges of the sole are very fine and soft, little ink is used. The ink is spread over a glass plate, to which the foot is pressed. Then the foot is pressed to a piece of the chart paper. This chart has previously been fully marked with the record of the mother and with other data that absolutely prevent confusion. Mistakes in identity are very rare nowadays. Once *hey occur, however, it is diflicu.. in the extreme to get at the real truth. The blood test has not yet reached the stage of infallibility.

WED BABY’ DECISION MAY HINGEON TAPE Two Pieces of Adhesive Cloth Relied On by Hospital to Prove Its Case. FATHER REFUSES CHILD Won’t Take Girl Unless He Gets Absolute Proof, Parent’s Edict. By United Press CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 21. Two pieces of adhesive tape may be the deciding evidence in the habeas corpus proceedings of Mrs. Sam Smith to force a maternity hospital to produce a baby boy she declares has been replaced with a girl. Philip Vollmer, superintendent of Maternity Hospital, indicated today the tape would be the hospital’s main argument when the habeas corpus hearing is resumed before Judge Carl V. Weygandt in Common Pleas Court here tomorrow. Vollmer said attorneys for the institution would base their case on the fact that both Mrs. Smith and the baby girl bear adhesive tape identification marks which check in all but one detail. Have Same Number Both pieces of tape, he declared, have the number “70” and the words “Baby Smith” written on them. He admitted that through some error the identification tag on the infant showed the word “male.” Three babies named Smith, two boys and one girl, were born at the hospital within a few hours of one another. Mrs. Maude Smith and Mrs. Alice Smith, the, other two mothers, have boys and are positive they have the right children. Mrs. Sam Smith declares that a baby boy was born to her an£ later a girl was substituted. Efforts of scientific experts to establish the parentage of the child were to continue today, with the visit of Dr. W. D. Glenndennlng, nationally known anatomist, to the Sam Smith home to examine other children of the Smiths and compare their physical characteristics with the baby girl. Dr. Glenndenning visited the mother and the baby in dispute at the hospital late yesterday, but declined to make a statement. He admitted, however, that the resemblance was not striking. Nurse Held Incommunicado Miss Ruth Meyer, nurse, present at the birth of the baby to Mrs. Sam Smith, will go on the stand tomorrow, when the hearing is resumed, Luther Day, attorney for the hospital, announced. Miss Meyer, held incommunicado until the hearing opens, has been quoted as telling hospital authorities that she distinctly remembers the Sam Smith baby as being a girl. Previously, in an interview in Detroit, she made the statement that she could not remember the sex. Sam Smith, father of two girls and a boy, intimated to friends today that he would leave the baby at the hospital if definite proof is not forthcoming that it is his child. “My mind is open to conviction,” he said. “If the hospital can prove to us that this baby is ours, then we will take it home and the matter will be forgotten. If their proof is not conclusive, we never shall take that child into our home."
