Death Siamese Twins Opens Un
precedented Question In Court.

Associated Press Dispatch
Chicago, March 31.-The death OF
Rosa and Josefa Black. the STA
mese Twins" has LETT the Cook
county probate court With legal
problem which apparently is un-
precedented. In determining the
disposition of the 100000 estate of
the twins the court must decide ii
eleven year old Franz is the son OF
one or of both of the twins.
A scientific controversy has re
solved itself into the question
Were Rosa and Josefa Black one
individual personality or did they
constitute separate entities"
If they were one personality the
son will inherit the entire fortune
accumulated by the twins. IL they
were two distinct personalities
Rosa being the mother and Josefa
the aunt, only Rosa's half of Che
estate would go to the lad.
Physicians say there are physiolo-
gical facts to support each conten-
ton and attorneys agree that le-
gal opinion must be based upon a
scientific analysis of the bodies.

1922'S
To Be ELECTRIC
AUTOMOBILE YR.

Up in Chicopee Falls. Mass, there
cave emanated rumors and pre-
dictions that something new in
Electric Automobiles will be un-
yelled early in 1922 by the makers
of the Rauch g. Lang Electrics. 1t
is now positively known that the ex-
hibit of Rauch & Lang electrics will
be one of the sensational features
and attractions of the New York
automobile show January to IA.
%neaking before Rauch & Lang
cea1ers recently at Chicopee Falls,
Mr.. II. ii. Roering, sales manager,
had the following to say about the
electric automobile for 1922:
1922 / believe will see the cleo
trio automobile come into its own for
the following reasons:
Electricity today dominates the
world as the perfect driving power.
Everywhere you see it. Enlisted to
drive the battleship. chosen to drive
railway trains, called on the job
where there is any great work to do
to drive work ahead, 1t obviously is
the practical power to drive the au-
tomobile. That is why motor car
owners of full experience are today
turning to the Rauch & Lang cleo
trio automobile.
What they are fast discovering Is
that for their actual needs-the use
which makes your automobile worth
having and worth maintaining-the
Hauch & Lang electric is scientificai-
~ and practically right.
1.-THE instant the automobile finds
its true place in your life and youl
mind, the Rauch e. Lang electric
becomes your car. Strip the auto
mobile of your dreams OF sport, ant
il stands revealed to you a Car L
take you fsom one spot to another
car of usefulness. When you real
ize this, you too, with men of IN
sight and women of common sense
will turn to the Rauch & Lana

to bid for patronage in the low priced
field.
'sIn designing the new car" says
Jewett. I'VE had the experience of all
the other makers in the popular
nriced field before us, and were able
to profit thereby. Careful study and
thorough tests of existing SKIES and
fours in the low wpriced field con-
vinced us that the six was the most
efficient and satisfactory, and in the
long run the most economical auto
mobile. We were also able to design
a really modern car with many
marked improvements.
"The absence of vibrations in six
means longer life and lower upkeep
costs for the entire car. 1t also
mean greater driving comfort. The
great advantage of the six under nor
NAL driving conditions is obvious. It
runs smoother, picks up faster, and is
in every way more desirable from the
owners standpoint
"Coming into the market at this
time. with no handicaps, we are able
to secure our materials at a price to
enable us to offer values never be-
fore possible.
"The Jewett six will be low in first
cost and in operating cost with g
vibrationless six-cylinder motor anc
sound construction. IT will show low
costs of upkeep and long life. II
beauty, in comfort and in perform
ance we feel that the new car vii
also be real and pleasant surprise.
