Woman Claims Miracle Baby SAYS STORY OF DOG CARRYING NKW BORN INFANT IS UNTRUE

PEARL, RIVER, La., Nov. 13, (UP) The pariah physician cornea here today to establish whether a bij black dog came trotting out of scrub pine forest with a baby for Mrs. Louis Crawford or she gave birth to the baby herself.—surreptiticujly to deceive her husband. Residents of the one room shanties in the scrub pine forests—all poor in the extreme, many illiterate sind superstitious- refused to believe her confession of motherhood. To most of them, the infant still was a miraculous babe brought out of the woods by a kindly dog, and Mrs. Crawford had concocted her story to regain possession of it. Hut Mrs. Crawford insisted grimly that the “shame” was on her. In

the presence of her young husband, she named the child’s father, described its birth “out behind the woodshed,” and insisted she wanted her baby back from the authorities who had taken it to a New Orleans hospital. The husband’s grimey, lined face was a mask of misery. He shook his shaggy htad and his drawling voice boomed: “That’s all right, honey. I’ll stick by yuh through hell and high water.” Tuesday night the husband had returned to the one room shanty and found his wife cuddling an infant. She had been standing on the porch in the dusk, she safd, when a dog came trotting out of the forest carrying a bundle in its mouth. She had yelled at the dog, causing it to drop the bundle and trot back into the forest. She went to the bundle, was astonished to find that it contained a baby. The neighbors gathered and the story spread in ever widening circles until early Wednesday it reached Covington, the parish seat. Parish officials and social service workers went immediately to the Crawford shanty. The social service workers took the baby across Lake Pontchartrain to New Orleans Charity hospital. 40 miles away. Mrs. Crawford protested tearfully and bitterly. The dog had brought the baby to her, which meant God wanted her to have it. While the story continued to spread yesterday, Mrs. Crawford moaned and wept and said she had not had “down right good sense” in permitting the authorities to take the baby away. Yesterday^afternoon her husband’s relatives began to question her. It ended in confession and last night she repeated the confession for reporters. The news was sent to Covington where authorities were delighted, believing it would dispel the growing general belief in a modern day miracle. But they were perturbed again by the general reaction to it—that Mrs. Crawford had invented the confession merely to get the baby back. They ordered the parish coroner, who also is the parish physician, to come here today and examine Mrs. Crawford. If she gave birth Sunday night it will be apparent to the medical man.

AMES, Iowa, (UP)—Iowa’s farm youth is seeking co-education in problems of the home and family relationships, according to a survey conducted by Dr. R. H. Stacy, extension sociologist at Iowa State College. The survey, conducted among the rural youth organizations, revealed that both men and women, averaging 23.5 and 22 years of age respectively, are vitally interested In subjects that are ordinarily the duties of the farmer and his wife. Rural youth extension work in Iowa now embraces more than 1.800 young people, but the service has been primarily educational with little time spent on community service or family problems, Stacy said. The sociologist revealed that the survey clearly shows that youth is awakening to the need for a definite program.
