HAVING
BABIES; MOST FOLKS
HAVE MORE OF 'EM

Among 80 babies born in Richmond
and Wayne county since June l, only
10 were found to be the first child in
the family. Theodore Roosevelt
would be overjoyed.
Twelve families had their second
baby: three their third; two their
fourth; one the fifth; one the sixth;
one seventh; one eighth; one ninth;
one the tenth; and one family had
twins making the fourteenth and
fifteenth child born to them. Three
sets of twins were born.
'Tis said that children do not fol-
low their fathers business. but stats
tics show that parental preferences are
often evident in children. If the June
babies of Richmond and Wayne
county are to follow their dads, there
will be a decided predominance OF
farmers and iarmerettes, nine in all
The others will earn their livings as
follows: one stenographer; one con-
factioner; one driller; three machin-
lists; four statesmen; one grocer; six
day laborers; one switchman; one
business college manager; one der
rick engineer; one carpenter; one
moulder; one painter; one cabinet
maker; one fireman and one trucker.
