her baby choking and as she entered
the room saw the effort to get some
thing down the throat. In few min
utes the child was as playful as ever
and acted as though nothing had hap
pened. Mrs. Jolitz missed the pin and
the closest scrutiny of the baby's
clothing and the bed failed to reveal
its presence. The child was taken to
a physician with the result that an
X-ray examination and photograph
were made. The open pin in the stom-
ach of the child was revealed. An
operation to enter the stomach and
get the pin was the only chance OF
saving the life Of the baby, one in
thousand the surgeon stated. The
parents took the chance and the child
has won.
