TO DRIVE OUT MIDWIFERY

Philadelphia, Jan. 21.-Alarmed at
the reports of Investigations, the
Bureau of Medical Inspection and
Licensure today, is planning a vigor-
GUS warfare to be waged on the 800
or more illegal midwives who are
practicing in Philadelphia. The ma
jority of these women, according to
officials, have never taken any course
that would fit them for the medical
profession or even to act as nurses in
obstetrical cases.
In the coal regions, Investigators
learned, there are hundreds of these
''midwives" who advertise in the va
rious languages land ply their trade
with no knowledge of the most i'm
poFtant and physical and medicinal
laws they should understand"
According to the investigators,
Pittsburgh is the center, even more
than Philadelphia, of illegal mid
wifery. ~

Mrs Wilson's body was kept today
In the room where she died, in the
southwestern corner of the White
House. on the second floor, overlooking
the Potomac.
The President went into the room at
midnight last night and again several
times today. and sat alone, and no one
disturbed him. Other members of the
family Went In from time to time, but
even intimate friends We're kept out.
Every effort was made by his friends
TO divert the Presidents mind from
his grief.
Among the messages of sympathy
were those of Cardinals Gibbons and
