She was the sixth child born to an
overw9rked mother, and at birth was
helpless cripple her whole left side
being paralyzed. Her mental facui.
ties never developed. Her parents
grew old and were un able to care
Tor her; she was allowed TO marry.
Her husband was a degenerate. There
were babies. all beautifully formed

IL was charitable community and
the neighbors saw that they didn't

were old enough they were sent to
state institutions
Now right at the birth Of that de-

should have authority to stop all that
