When tho interviewer pinned the
woman down to the actual determina-

her with whom the notion originated

"well. I guess 1t was I who first
thought Of it. I Just couldn't see how
four babies were going to be support

read Of babies being picked up in hall

tucked him in nice and warm and
gave him a BOTTLE
"Did you ever expect to see him
again 2" the woman was asked.
"Oh, sure, when We got some money
we would hunt the children up. That
was my plan-let them 80 just for a

with o suppressed moan. But we
