 It will be recalled that Representative Hay introduced a resolution calling for an investigation of that part of Mr. RTis- tows charge concerning postal frat4aH reflecting on members of the House. kLiH proposal was to have a special commtk~e of Ave appointed.
 The House, instead, turned the matter over to it's regular postofEice ccInmatkeQ. which promptly asked Mf.

When a government goes to the
trouble Of bringing up its citizens
children in a municipal hospital it
seems too bad that any one should be
dissatisfied. but the benevolent prac-
t;ce has brought about curious state
OF affairs in Amsterdam, Holland.
Several months ago a father sent
his infant son to the hospital to be
reared by incubator. When subse-
qucntly he visited the institution to
see his boy the authorities produced a
female child, assuring the citizen it
was his own. The sturdy Dutchman
at once invoked the aid OF the law and
ir spite Of the hospitals defense that
the cjtizen brought them a girl the
court decided that the authorities had
produced the wrong one and ordered
the zeal son surrendered.
A prolonged search failed to find
the missing male infant, and within a
short time the highest court of Hol.
land will try the irate fathers claim
for damages sustained by the loss Of

place in the deep woods. The flesh
had practically all disappeared from
the skeleton. but the scalp and hair
still remained in part. The clothing
was rotted away SO that 1t was Of lit.

One puzzling thing is that the hair
seems somewhat gray, while the hair
Of the missing ho1nesteader was dark

and the knowledge that he could never
escape caused his hair to whiten.
