Mount Vernon ash can in which he
was found five months ago, those Off

Bobby's predicament and the fact that
thousands as yet unborn will face

ministration acts, and acts promptly,
were the subjects of serious official
consideration
How to determine the religion of
foundling? How to know whether
waif should be classified as Protes-

Scientist. Theosophist, Vedantist or
what not?
Justice John NJ. Tierney, in the
Supreme Court, is pondering the ques-
tion of Bobby's religion. His decision
is expected Monday Mr. and Mrs.

the boy from the New York Nursery
and Child's Hospital. The officials of
that institution who cared for him
after his rescue from the ash can
assert that he is a Catholic. They
want to take him away from the Fem
blooms.

difficult to decide" said Bird C. Coler,
Commissioner of Charities, yesterday.
