Siamese Twin Girls Will Live, Physicians Believe

Both Sleep Well and Plan for Operation Will Be Dropped. Bn United Press HOLYOKE, Mass., Sept. 22. Joined together since birth by a freak of nature, Mary and Margaret Gibbs, 14-year-old Siamese twins, will continue to live their strange lives as one individual. With one of the girls seriously ill with influenza, and the life of the other automatically threatened, physicians had considered the necessity of a separatory operation as a last desperate hope of beating death. But today, Mary, who had been most critically ill, as reported much better and Mr.rgaret’s condition was nearly normal. Attending physicians were confident that no operation would be required. Both Sleep Well Mrs. John R. Gibbs, mother of the famous twins, announced they had slept well through a restful night and that she had been assured by Drs. E. P. Bagg, Jr., and Arthur Kinne that her children virtually were out of danger . A trained nurse, Miss Clara Thompson, still was at the bedside this morning, however, and it was said she would remain on duty until Mary and Margaret were able to leave their bed. Doctors said that, barring unforeseen developments, the twins should be up and around within a week. Mary's condition today was “very satisfactory,” it was said, and there was no reason to believe that complications would halt recovery. Never Complain The twins have been confined to bed for nearly a week, but they nsver have complained, according to their mother. "They do not feel that they are handicapped seriously,” Mrs. Gibbs said “Except that they are joined at the hips they are absolutely normal girls, and they are able to do almost anything other normal girls can do. “When they are well they can dance and play billiards. They are wonderfully cheerful children, even when sickness keeps them in bed.” URGES SHARP LOOKOUT Gurley Says Voters Most Keep Out Corruption. Bu Times Special GREENCASTLE, Ind., Sept. 22.
