FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1940 Sunday to Be Just Another Day to 6-Year-Old Mother
LIMA, Peru, May 10 (U. P.).— The observance Sunday of Mother’s Day is nothing in the life of 6-year-old Lina Medina, who is unaware that she is the world’s youngest mother and continues to regard her'son, Gerardo Alejandro, as her “little brother.” Nor does the boy, who will be a Vvear old on May 14, and is able to walk a few steps, look upon the bright-faced half-caste girl as his mother. She is just a good playmate to him. Watching the pair at play, giggling as they tug at a doll or a ball, one would think of them as sister and brother, but never as mother and child. The boy resembles Lina only

slightly. He has the same swarthy complexion, but his dark-brown eves are larger than his mother’s and his hair is lighter. His face is also rounder than the girl's. Lina and Gerardo Alejandro recently left the Lima Maternity Hospital, where she gave birth to the boy after a caesarian operation and where both remained until the Supreme Court ordered that they be turned over to the girl's mountaineer father. Accompanied by her parents the child-mother and her son are visiting relatives here before returning to the Andean village where she was born, according to her baptismal certificate, in September, 1933.

SEEK NEWS OF
Invasion Stops Flow of Letters From Families of Local Couple.
" Twenty-four years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Reek Sr. saddened by war clouds that were then gathering over their native little Holland, | came to the United States and to| Indianapolis. They had relatives here who reported Indianapolis as a splendid city. Through all the years they have kept in close correspondence with their families back home—Mrs. Reek’s in and near Wormerveer, and Mr. Reek’s in and near Arnhem. There was a letter nearly every week, sometimes many. Two years ago they visited back there and at that time felt the tenseness again of imminent war. There's a blackout, now on the letters. At their home, 4861 English Ave, the Reeks today worried about what happened to those relatives in Holland, invaded by the German troops. Without much hope of finding out, they asked news agencies whether Wormerveer or Arnhem have been bombed. They know how

MOTHER HATES ‘HUNGRY BOY’
Inquiry Reveals Youth Stole Food Because He Was Deprived of Meals.
A 10-year-old Indianapolis school boy, who had been apparently normal in his social relations at school up until this fall, suddenly began stealing food from his fellow pupils at free lunch time. He refused to accept a free lunch, and then would forcibly take scraps from other pupils. The teachers reasoned with him without avail. He continued this odd practice. Finally, the case came to the attention of Juvenile Court. The teachers, bounded in their investigation by the class room, could make no headway in the solution of the strange behavior. Study Boy’s Home Life Juvenile Court workers began a searching inquiry into all phases of the social life of the boy. They discovered that this boy and his full sister were two of four children in the family, and were children of a father now believed to be dead. The other two children were by their mother and her second husband. Moreover, they found that the boy, as he grew older, came to resemble his father more and more, while his full sister resembled her mother. Got Answer From Him He was found to be completely normal, although undernourished, and spent a happy three weeks in the hospital, eating three hearty meals a day and exhibiting no antisocial tendencies at all. He told a worker that his mother has lately been punishing him for all manner of minor infractions of rules in the home and that frequently she punished him by depriving him of a regular meal. As a result, he got terribly hungry, and to satisfy the hunger he stole food from fellow pupils. Moreover, the food he stole was
Chamberlain's Actor-Cousin
Fights for ‘Dear Old Neville’
NEW YORK, May 10 (U. P.).— When he first came to this country a year ago, Alan Napier’s American friends advised him not, for goodness sakes, to mention “that cousin” of his. That cousin was Neville Chamberlain, and the memory of Munich and Prague was fresh in everyone's mind. Since then, however, the British Prime Minister has taken it on the chin so frequently that Mr. Napier decided to “wage the war for good old Neville.” Hardly any of the mean things his critics say about Chamberlain are true, Mr. Napier asserted in an interview yesterday — least of all the legend that the Prime Minister's black umbrella is a sort of Freudian symbol of timidity, naivete and arch conservatism. “He carries an umbrella,” Mr. Napier said shortly, “simply because he ‘doesn’t want to get wet when it
rains, a thing that frequently happens in my country.” Mr. Napier, 37 and an actor, is a
native of Chamberlain's home town, Birmingham, and is the Prime Minister’s first cousin once removed. He is making his first American appearance, with Gladys George in “Lady in Waiting.” All of Chamberlain's so-called mistakes—appeasement, the “sacrifice” of Poland, the Norwegian fiasco —were the inevitable results of Great Britain's lack of preparedness, Mr. Napier said, and should be blamed on circumstances which the Chamberlain Government inherited from preceding ones. “If he weathers his present difficulties and remains in office until the end of the war,” the actor said, “his true greatness will manifest itself.” The critics who annoy Mr. Napier most are those who say Chamberlain, at 71, is “too old.”

Eventually workers discovered that the boy’s mother had conceived a deep hatred for her first husband long ago. This lay dormant until the boy, as he grew older, more and more resembled his father. This resemblance kindled the hatred and she, perhaps subconsciously, took it out on the boy. The case is being studied and
