to keep the railroad open to points
where there are American and for

vent destruction of lines and COM

phasized that the landing was merely

/ foreigners; it was not to be taken as
a step toward armed intervention.
/ At about five o'clock yesterday

unfavorable.
A string quartet, playing fault

exhibition of technic, but of art; a
trio with which scarcely another in
Connecticut can compare, helped to

The first complete public perform

NEW LAW HARD
BLOW TO FATHER
Russian Code Safeguards
Support of Child.

BIZ United Press
MOSCOW, March 19.-Poor old
father" is catching it again!
The recently enacted marriage
code put on fathers the new bur-
den of having to support their chill
dren to the age of IS years. and
thus put severe damper on what
is here called casual parenthood.
Now comes. Professor Palikoff OF
the Leningrad Academy with claim
that he can tell with scientific ex-
actness whether or not an accused
father is really the parent OF the
child he may be asked to support.
Professor Paliakoff claims to do it
by analyzing the hair. The only
requirement, apparently, is that the
baby must be old enough to have
some. The color of the hair, the
professor declares, signifies nothing.
But it's structure, studied under
microscope, tells the full story OF its
parentage when compared to the
structure of the hair Of it's father and
mother. The hair, of most baby
boys resembles that of their moth
ers, the hair of the little girls is con
structed like that of their fathers.
In the few cases where the test fails,
the professor ayers, it has been
found, without exception, that the
hair of the baby under microscopic
resembles that of its grandparents.
