BRIGHT EYES" RESIGNED.
Babe Found at Union station APP
paEcntIy Is FORGOTTEN.

Bright Eyes" apparently has resigned
himself 10 his fate and offers no serious
objection TO the mothering of nurses at
Founding Hospital. where he was taken
Thursday night from the Union Station.
Bright Eyes isn't a French poodle or
a Chinese Fl Fl. but is just a little
month-old baby boy. who was abandoned
a the big railroad station last week.
Every effort to locate his mother and
aunts and uncles has failed. nor have
any communications been received at the
hospital nqurng about him. So Bright
Eyes accepts the situation philosophi-
Cally. doesn't care whether he Is a
eugeniC baby or not. and is determined
to say nothing.
