CHICAGO. March 26.-Harry Ham,
mond. a resident of Lake Bluff. Ill.
never knew he had a sister until
today and the sister. Lucille, four
years his senior. had thought for
thirty years her brother died in
childhood. Their finding OF each
other sounds like a page from a
book of fiction.
Twenty-nine years ago Harry
Hammond, or Harry Frazier, his
real name before adoption, was
placed in an orphans home at Dam
vile. Ill. His sister remained With
her father. her mother having died.
A few weeks after Harry had been
placed in the asylum he was taken
out by a woman, but she failed to
adopt him and he was sent to the
Van Ardale Nursery near Chicago.
from which place he was adopted by
Mr.. and Mrs. William Hammond, of
Waukegan. Soon thereafter the
Van Ardale Nursery was moved and
search by the father of the boy.
When Harry was %, his adopted
father died, but did not tell him the
secret of his birth. A year ago IN

Harry and his sister, provided he

DETROIT. Mich. March 26.-Big

Is the smallest man on earth" stated
Dean Mackenzie. University classes
are so big and professors SO indif-

The university professor has no
equal for pettiness. He is not a
teacher. He is merely filing his
position in order to earn his living.

are automatons."
4 Dean Mackenzie scored big uni
versities for branding wholesale

as unsuccessful because big univer-
sity professors give them no indi-
