FOSTERS DEPART

Couple and New Born Son Leave
Hospital Entrance-Desti-
nation Unknown.

Mr.. and Mrs. C. Foster and their
newly born baby boy, who have
caused District officials much worry
during the past few weeks because of
their refusal to leave their touring
automobile after it became stalled in
front of Gallinger Hospital last
month, have finally moved on to parts
unknown"
The mother and father came to
Washington early in January, and put
up at the Tourists Camp in Potomac
Park until the stork notified them
that he would meet them at Gallinger
Hospital. He did, January IT, pre-
senting to Mrs Foster a lusty-lunged

Of transportation decided to stay
where it was near the hospital en-
trance until the recent snowstorm ha d
made travel more agreeable, and, de-
spite efforts of Mr.. Foster to stir up
some life in it, the car had remained
stalled since that time. And II days
after the birth of the baby Mrs Fos-
ter insisted in leaving the hospital to
live in the balky car outside.
In the meantime, hospital police and
charity officials took an interest in
them, all endeavoring to induce or
compel the 22-year-old mother and
infant to take up more healthy living
quarters. Their efforts were all with
out avail.
The Fosters refused to be inter
fered with, saying they didn't need
help and that they would get their
dar in commission before long"
Yesterday afternoon they lived up
to their prediction. Automobile,
proud papa, happy mamma and cooling
baby moved off, hospital and police
authorities know not where.
Perhaps the Fosters don't know
where themselves, for the world at
large Is their home and particular
places don't matter much anyway.

DR.. BURTON STILL
IS CRITICALLY I'LL
Michigan Educator, Who
Nominated Coolidge, in Bed
for 16 Weeks.
By the Associated Press.


ANN ARBOR, Mich, February s.
DR.. Marion Leroy Burton will be in
no condition for several months TO
resume the presidency of the Uni
versity of Michigan; the illness that
has held his to his bed for 16 weeks
is no less critical now than it has
been, and as recently as last Thurs
day he was close to death.
This was the revelation Of DR.. Bur-
tons condition made today by Mrs.
Burton 1t definitely answered con-
f1icting rumors concerning the illness
of the man who nomined Calvin Cool
idge for the presidency at Cleveland
last June, and it dispelled the hope
that DR.. Burton will resume his
duties during this school year.
On the other hand, it revealed that
there Is no good reason to fear he
would not eventually resume active
direction of the institution.
Heart Dangerous Element.
DR.. Burton has not been on his feet
since he became i'll, Mrs. Burton said.
His mind is and has been alert. but
the siege of pneumonia, with the
heart and kidney complications that
developed, has been a severe strain
upon his endurance. In this weak
ened condition his heart must be
watched constantly.
Reports that DR.. Burton would
seek a leave of absence were denied
by Mrs Burton Even the suggestion
of a leave. she said, is preposterous
for the reason that DR.. Burton is not
able to leave. He must remain at
home and obtain complete rest.
Physicians Report Progress.
A bulletin issued by physicians
today said that President Burton
shows progressive Improvement.
However a grave illness, such as
DR.. Burton is passing through,
necessarily brings about extreme
depletion of all body functions" the
statement adds. Complications may
arise at any time. AS we face the
situation today we have much
evidence to encourage u.s."
