GAN SCIENCE PROVE BEYOND A
 DOUBT LEGITIMACY OF A CHILD?
Noted Blood Expert Calls Legitimacy Test Unreliable
 Though One Court Held It Valid

New York, Sept 21.-Art, science and law for a while assume the roles iof the Three F'ates.
 In the court of law, in a case in rvo1ving the question of a child's 1egit- Pmacy, the trio appear to prove that kcontrary to sworn statements of a Inother, her child was born in we'd Jock and not outside that prescribed condition, as she has claimed.
 Mrs Mamie Sorine del Seca. of San Francisco, must have a kink in her hnind as manifest as the crest of a permanent wave.
 T, She wanted to prove her own baby HflegiGmate. Strange womani Yet She may have had reasons that seem led to her justify her actions.
 Mrs del Secco was formerly Mira. Julius B. Sorine. From Sorine she ob- Eained 8 divorce. Then she desired to Fduring their life together, was not Hhe offspring of her husband. She Ehad been unfaHhful, she told the court.
 Art was called in to help establish fthe boys right to a name. Art, in the Rerson of Haig Patigan. sculptor and president of the Bohemian club of "a comparison of features the child Haore striking resemblance to Sorine.
 Blood tests made by Dr. Albert Abrams, according to the physician, Heft no doubt of ISorfne'S right to call the child his. his right sealed by sci ence.
 The law has ruled in favor of legit- imacy for young Eugene Sorine, aged mine.

Press, no less than hfty-three close ly printed pages are occupied by an index of Rudyard Kpling's novels, short stories, essays and poems,S aud the statement is made that, About two million copies of the authorized editions of Kipling's books have been sold. Of the unauthorized edi. tions there are no figures available"
 With this achievement to his ere dit, and with his reputation and his productivity undiminished, Rudyard Kipling deliberately sets to work serving his apprenticeship to new and radically different trade, of which the first finished product, ''Without Benefit of Clergy" is now given to the public. Except in de- veloped creative power, and in the magic of his name, the monumental labors of a full generation in time have little bearing on the products of the new trade.
 s'My greatest adventure" - well said!
 Tn the world of motion picture production it, has long been well known that it was useless to try to tempt Rudyard Kipling into giving consent for the picturization of any of his stories. He had no faith that such interpretation of his works left wholly to the good intentions of others would give him appropriate representation before the public.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-09-22

The statements came from Dr.. Thomts w. Edgar, expert in blood
 tests and specialists on gland study.
 One can not say definite things after
 the test is made, but only what one feels about certain case at hand
 The essence of the blood test is
 the theory of anaphylaxEs. This test
 is not satisfactory. but I will show
 you how it can be made. Blood is withdrawn from the child
 woman in the case. If were doing it should give WaSserman test. too, for blood diseases on all three If the
 father and the child have a positive that the man was the child's parent, since the baby would be too young to
 gain an infection of this sort. elf all the three blood samples give that of the child individua1ty.-And I would separate the corpuScIeS from the serum.
 '"Then would take hypodermic syringe and inject the child's serum into the bodies of father and mother, carefully noting the reaction. This re- | action and this process is what we call anaphylaxis-
 would indicate that the blood is the same. would be a general feeling of 'malaise,' a fatigue "a high tempera-
 ture and swelling of the glands. 'If two adults are the real parents they both will reveal these symptoms, showing that from these two beings the third creature-the child-has come into the world.
 Test Not Dependable Family peculiarities can often be 1 traced in the shape of the blood cor puscles, in the shape of the ears, as in the case of the Slingsby baby, the look in the eye, the peculiarity of the hair line, the shape of the hand or the inStep.
 Still a child might resemble one who denied the chiId-and yet be the offspring of another
 Mixed Type Not Likely When a man and a woman marry each has, of course, glnadular char acteriStics, according to type. Their offspring must inherit one or the other set of characteristics. They are not usually the mixed types. "One sort predominateS. If one
 parent is thyroid type the offspring is apt to be, too: because that is the
 strongest of the three glanduIar types
 and predominates over the others.
 Physical characteristics are in herited, yet environment changes
 faces and features far more than in heritance ever did.
 Tn cases such as this one in San Francisco, where they say the legiti-
 macy has been proved from every pos
 sible angle, what they really mean is
 that all the proof has been taken in
 to consideration and that it looks as | if the child were legitimate-and it is l probably so in most of these cases where it seems to. too"
 Court F,avors Test | "It'S a wise child that knows its | own father,' said William Shakes l peare. But medical science would l seem to have made such wisdom pos
 sible. Tests of the blood of Paul Wit

iBICYCLISTS
 WERE CAUSE
 OF COLLISIONS

Hartford, Sept. 21.-Nearly 63 per cent of the fatalities resulting last
 year from collisions of automobile
 and bicycles were caused by bicyclists riding into the path of approaching
 cars, it was shown by statistics of the Motor Vehicle Department made pub them were due to bicyclists riding on
 the wrong side of the road.
 Because of the small space required on the road for a, bicycle, many rid CTS minimize the importance of their keeping to the right, like other ve- invariably results when a motor ve- hicle approaches. The driver of the motor vehicle usually has learned to stick to the right at all times, but the squeeze 1n'' on the wrong between the approaching car and the edge of
 the road frequently creates a situa- ton that causes both to turn out to- | ward the center of the road simu1- taneously. If the motor vehicle is moving fast, a bad collision is inevit- able.
 If all other classes of users of the highways, as cyclists. pedestrians, and horse drawn vehicles were under strict discipline and were held ac- countable to the same extent as mo- tor vehicle drivers, and if that dis | cipline should be as effective, aeci- dents would soon be fewer. Motor Ve- hicle Commissioner Stoeckef main tains-
 On the other hand Connecticut l motor vehicle driver is absolutely un- der the control of the authorities. He is not allowed to have an operators license until after he becomes IS
 years old, and then he has to pass a
 rigid examination, including not only
 actual operation but test in the law.
 In the course of this, he is inter
 viewed by a, state policemen whose
 instructions are. not to pass unfit per
 CraT1E- hot ttaka
 curing his license. he is practically
 under constant direction and obser- vation on the part of the various po- lice authorities whose duty it is to look after him. A breach of the law
 brings swift punishment by a warn ing or prosecution and. if serious enough, by suspension or revocation | of his license. In short he can be punished to fit his offense and can l finally be removed from the highway whenever the commissioner of motor vehicles thinks such a course justi- | fed

naftted to visit the boy In order to thwart the father in his desire tor see Eugene, Mrs. del Secco was willing to sacrifice her child'S name. Recently these things were dis cussed in the famous case of Stillman Vs. Stilln1an. James A Sti1lman, who does not deny he is the father of a child whose mother is Florence Leeds, chatelaine of various of the bankers Hove nests'' refused to acknowledge Guy Sti1lman as his own.
 In another famous case of a dis puted baby, Teddy Slingsby, the youngster's ear finally proved to be his best friend.
 Heir to an old English fortune. the child born in San Francisco. was not welcome to some of the younger Slingsby sons, who hoped the eldest would die without issue and leave them all the money One of them was believed to be behind the agitation astensib1y begun by a trained nurse, who claimed little Teddy" was a ''changeling.
 Teddy was substituted for the real heir, who died at birth, so went the tale. just like a yellow-back novel
 So@strong seemed the proof that the California court declared Teddy to be a "changeling." Then the case was taken to England, where Judge Deane declared him legitimate. The verdict was reached on account of the child $ jaw and ear, which last feature had a marked family pecularity.

TOR more than thirty years Rudyard Kipling has been a
 certificated Master sailing the Seven Seas Of Literature. No -liv- ing author, and few of other times, have sailed on those seas further or faster than he, and probably none, of any period, with wider and more secure reputation. Poems, novels, short stories, essays, polemics-he neglected no established form of li- terature, except drama as written for stage presentation.
 This would seems to be "adven- lure" sufficient for one lifetime Yet Kip1ing, in setting forth to express himself in motion pictures speaks of his revolution of method as:
 "My greatest adventure"
 In Rudyard Kipling's case, more than in that of any other master story-tel1er, that comment is as true as it is picturesque. In writing for the picture screen, being the most conscientious of craftsmen, he is compelled to sacrifice the finest, most compelling attributes of his art. All he can do, to be efficient, is to make it perfectly clear to the director of his picture, the builder of the "sets" and other technicians of production, just what visual ef- fects are to be made by the series of scenes tersely described in his scenario-or in his continuity" as the last refinement of the written picture story is called. Except for an occasional short title which may take the form of an epigram, or con- tain some literary grace, as in the books which have made the authors fame secure, his picture manuscript is necessarily as dry and unillum- mating as any properly arranged cold and explicit directions are inn plicit1y followed by those respon- sible for the final screened result, the authors creation is there as surely as it is in his printed volume.
 So this is why, having acquired the picture writer's exacting tech nique and setting to work on his first picture script, esWithout Bene- fit of Clergy" Mir Kip1ing declared that he was launched on his "great- est adventure"
 Motion pictures are not always successful in their appeal to the public. On the contrary, the time is long past when Kipling book, or poem, was not instantly "Suc- cessfu1.'' The qualities which long practice in writing for print illum- inate with unfai1ing charm the au- thor's captivating Individuality, make every page, every line, effec. tive. During at least the latter half of his long writing and publishing career, Kipling's books have been promptly translated into half doz- en different languages and enjoyed worldwide circulation. The novel ist's London agent has supplied the present writer with a list of nine teen publishers who have issued Kipling books. Three of these are American; two are Canadian; four are located in England; three. in Germany, one in Spain, one in Nor way and Denmark and six in France One English pocket edition, includ-

When she feels it in herself to move, she is as quick as a flash, but without any sort of fuss, as conveying the idea of rapid, fur ried movement to the eye. Most of the time, while in her mans pre- sence, she keeps her eyes down; but when she lifts them or looks directly at him they burn slowly.
 "In caressing Holden, take spe- cia1 note that she never uses the left hand but keeps it, as rule, behind her mans neck or around his waist. It should never fall upon his face.

 Since then, so MT. Ota says. in his appeal to Tokio, most of the islanders have squandered their scanty in, comes on drink and they are faced with economic ruin. They have pawned or mortgaged their ancestral ''noonshine'' shochu.which is a. strong spirit brewed of sweet potatoes Their morals have deteriorated, he says, and they are even scofhng at the ancicent tradition that Hachijoj1ma is the home of sirens, for. they claim. if such is the case, why do not the sirens come to their aid. now that they are in dire need?
