CALL OF STORk
SET BY DOCTORS
DISCOVERIES OF AMERICAN AND
GERMAN SCIENTISTS REeu-
LATE TIME OF ARRIVAL.
BIRTHDAY OPTIONAL WITHIN z WEEKS
Dr.. Charles q. Reed Puts System In
Practice at Wesley Hospital.

Chicago.-There is new science
called choose your own birthday"
1t has been practiced with great
success by DR.. Charles B. Reed OF
Wesley Memorial hospital, Chicago,
and DR.. James d. Voorhees,, associate
professor of obstetrics at Cornell Uni
yersity.
1t consists of making appointments
with the stork at the doctors rather
than the stork's option, and it has
been made possible by set of meas
urements worked out by Dr. Ahlfeld,
German scientist and obstetrician
and by an invention of DR.. Vorhees.
DR.. Reed, one of Chicago's leading
obstetricians, whose practice is among
the wealthy, has systematized the
stork to the extent of having him
make all his calls of afternoons.
For year or more he has never
had night case or received the con-
signments of the stork except by such
arrangements as one might make with
dentist or dressmaker In that time
he-has allowed hundred or more ba-
bies to choose their own birthdays
within limits.
The scope of birthday choosing is a
span of two weeks before the stork
must come, willy nilly. Any day in
those two weeks that suits little john
ny or Jennyto-be suits the doctor
and the mother-to-be, if it does not
conflict with the choice of some other
mother in which case another day
within the two weeks leeway is chos-
en- for the birthday.
Johnny or Jennieto-be's mamma
gets card from the doctor, saying iii
effect: II have set Tuesday" or We'd
nesday or Thursday, as the case may
be, "for you, and will you please pre-
sent yourself at Wesley hospital and
get your little boy" or your little girl.
The mamma-to-be goes to the hos
pital the night before the day named
on the card. Early in the morning the
Doctors assistant calls on her and
tells her what to do, and after four
hours Dr.. Reed comes, and any time
after that, but eight hours at the la
test, DR.. Stork arrives and there's tho
baby.
! DR.. Reed maintains that his system
follows natural laws. He calls it
"setting the pendulum of the clock to
! swinging" He ascertains the scien.
tifc time of day from the stork.

and attractive bathing costumes but
with the patriotic cap she wears as
well. The suit has embroidered on
it the naval insignia of the quarter

red, white and blue stripes and some
stars. Quite a few more of the

While the State and Federal authorities

and then the shells began bursting so
fast ] lay down IN a ditch While |
was living there a gas shell burst within
ten feet OF me. ! got up and started TO
run, but heard an explosive shell coming
| fell back into the ditch and the shell
burst so close it threw shrapnel all around
me
For few minutes it pretty nearly got
my nerve The fellows that were work
ing with me ran in different ways and VIC
