STILL Turks At
SIAMESE TWINS BEDSIDE

CHICAGO, March 29-Death still
turks in the hospital room where lie
Josefa and Rosa Black. the twins
who were Joined at birth n have
been called the Siamese twins. They
continue in virtually an unconscious
state, Josefa entirely oblivious Of her
surroundings.
An operation to separate the sis
ters is entirely contingent on the
death of one which physicians say
means the death of the other.
Each of the sisters had individ-
ual hearts, lungs ,and stomach. Jo-
sefa was stricken with yellok jaun-
dice, is most desperately i'll. An
attorney has been at the twins bed
side ready to make theiI Wills IL
they become conscious.
Josefa and Rosa are "Siamese
twins" If Josefa dies, surgeons Will
try to cut the flesh bond that con-
meets her with her sister-but even
that may not save Rosa's life.
The twins reached the United
States in February, 1921, and started
on a show tour. :.
They were born Al years ago N
Prague, Czechoslovakia. For the last
20 years they have toured the thea
tres OIL EuTOpe.
Both are moderately wealthy, good
looking and well educated.
Rosa is a widow-her husband was
killed in the war-while Josefa IL a
confirmed spinster. Rosa is the
mother Of an ~11-year-old son. !.
Each twin is fully developed n
free from deformity save for the
narrow flesh strip that joins them
at the hip.
They have enjoyed theatres, din
ner parties and other amusements
just as normal people. But where
one went, the other had to GO also.
When they differed in taste, they
settled the matter by the flip Of a
coin.
The two have gone to leading sur
geons on both continents but always
have been advised against an opera
ton to separate them. Doctors told
them such an operation undoubtedly
would result in the death of at least
one.
Twins of this kind are called
Siamese twins because of the famous
case of Eng and Chang, Chipese,
born in Siam with their bodies
joined. They were born in 1871 and
died in 1874.
MANY Siamese twins have been
born but they seldom live to reach
maturity" says n Of the hospital
physicians treating Joseft.

RUSSIANS WORRY OVER
ILLNESS Of LEN|NE

LONDON, March 29:-Rumors
that Nikolai Lenine. premier OF
soviet Russia, is seriously i'll were
not entirely quelled by his dramatic
appearance before the congress o.
the Communist party now in session
in Moscow.
The fact that DR.. Felix Klemperer,
Berlin specialist, is in attendance
upon the Russian leader is indica-
tive that his health is impaired and
his friends here are anxious because
of the lack of official news oncern
ing him.
Lenine was born April 10, 1870, in
Simbirsk, a province on the River
Volga. He was christened Vladimir
Ilyich Ulianov. His father, though
of peasant stock. held a nobleman's
rank by virtue of his office of
councillor of state.
Lenine, as we'll as his two broth
erS and sisters, received an excellent
education under the guidance of the
father, who was a master of a gym
nasium and an inspector of schools.
In 1856 Lenine's brother, Alexan-
der, was executed for revolutionary
activities. This fired Lenine's early
interest in the problems of Russia
into an intense hatred of czarism.
AS IL u III tit OiiiNCl Sity vi
Kazan, his advocacy of revolution
airy doctrines caused his expulsion.
Subsequently he was admitted to the
bar, but gave up practice OF law
after pleading one case.
From 1891 to 1897 he devoted
himself to i~nstructing the workers in
politics and economics. These activi-
ties came to an end when he was
exiled to Eastern Siberia on Jan.
20, 1897.
Eventually he got out of Russia,
but continued his agitation from
Munich, Brussels, Paris, London, and
losing his life at the hands of Rus
sian spies.
When the first Russian revolution
broke out in 1905. Lenine returned
to his native land. He was forced
to flee a year later, going to Finland,
Switzerland and Paris. Finally he
settled in Cracow. near the Russian
border, from where he could con-
tinue his revolutionary activities.
On the outbreak of war, Lenine
moved to Switzerland. After taking
an active part in organizing the
|Zimmerwald conference in 1917, he
was aided by Swiss Socialists to re-
turn to Russia.
Inc herenSky IeSkHie was tottSi-
ing, and Lenine was largely instru-
mental in bringing about its down.
fall and establishing the soviets in
control. Soon he spoke the word
which brought the Brest-Litovsk
treaty and a separate peace with
Germany.
Lenine has more recently been ex-
|erting his tremendous energies to-
ward opening commercial relations
with world nations.
