The World and All
TWINS
By Charles r. Driscon

wv
A Chicago biologist is conducting d study Of twins.
! think this is a study that is worthy of encourage
ment- ! have always been interested in twins, and I
think triplets should be even more interesting as a
study.
According 70 reports / have heard, the studies
Of Professor II. n. Newman thus far have tended to
indicate that identical twins are so nearly alike, in
mind and psychological processes, as well as in body,
that a pair Of twins comes very near being one indi-
vidual i seems 70 be a fairly general rule that iden-
tieal twins Of the same pair think alike. react alike
70 like stimuli. and maintain toward one another q
lifelong attitude Of sympathy and understanding.
] have known several pairs Of identical twins in
which these traits Of similarity in mind have been
demonstrated ! have known several cases Of identi-
cal twins who were so closely drawn to one another
that they have managed to continue to live together in
the same house. even after the marriage Of one or both
Of them. l know of at least one case where girls
who we're identical twins both married, lived apart for
some years. and returned to one another in later
years. each one deserving her husband to return to
her sister.
On the other hand, | have never known a case o.
a twins being jealous Of her twin sisters husband. or
any such mixup. In nearly every case that has come
under my observation, twins who have been happflv
married have had the whOle-hearted support and low
atty Of their twin brothers or sisters in maintaining
the happy state.
! know two old ladies who are identical twins.
Both have been married and are now widows. They
they use the same surname. They live together. They
dress alike. They always attend the bali games. ali
summer together. and sit together on the p~ostOffiee

Professor Newman has been looking for an in
stance Of identical twins who have been reared sepa-
rately- He has been magic 70 find such a case. II

used to deviltry, suffering, death,
wiped tears out of their eyes today
as they told of the bravery of Julia

The emergency squad rushed
Julia to city hospital from La Sale
st. and Roosevelt Ave, late Thurs
day after she was struck by a
Brightwood street car.
The child's mother held her In
her lap as the emergency sped to
the hospital.
Julia was returning from den
tai clinic at School No. 38. One of
her little teeth is slightly crooked,
and I insisted that she go so she
would be beautiful when she grew
up. Julia didn't want to go, but I
insisted" the mother sobbed.
Don't cry, mama. Look, the man
filled one of my teeth, too; look,
mama," the child said cheerfully,
cupping her mothers chin in her
bleeding little hands.
During the long ride from the far
eastern part of the city to the city
hospital the girl attempted to cheer
her mother. She seemed so cheer
full that police believed she was not
seriously injured.
At the hospital, physicians shook
their heads gravely. Frontal frac-

Julia's condition is critical.

DIV CHtttU IFtod
NEW YORK, June 17-Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh, loaded with
world honors, started back today to
the West, from which he came, al
most unknown, a month ago.
Lindbergh, flying The Spirit of St.
Louis, the other half of the I'VE"
that made the first nonstop flight
from New York to Paris, took off
from Mitchell field, Long Island, at
GIT a. m. Indianapolis time) for
st. Louis.
The Spirit of st. Louis was in its
hangar and the crowd of 1000
waited for it to be wheeled out.
The motor had been running for
several minutes, but no one thought
the flier was ready to start.
But Lindbergh crawled into the
cabin, listened a moment to the per-
feet hum of the motor and opened
her up wide"
The plane shot out onto the field,
TAXED a hundred feet and rose
sharply into the air. In little more
than a minute it was out of sight.
Lindbergh reached the field wear
ing the same blue serge suit, with
a white pin stripe, that he wore for
all the functions in Washington and
New York which did not require
formal clothes. It's need of press
ing is growing acute. He shed the
coat at his hangar and substituted
a leather windbreaKer.
He found mechanics already
warming up the motor and a hur-
ried inspection satisfied him that
The Spirit of st. Louis was ready
to head for home.
Grover Whalen, chairman of
Mayor Walkers reception commit
tee, was there to say good-by off,
cially, and Lindbergh chatted a few
minutes with him. Then he gave
his last brief interview to New York
newspaper men, telling his route
and assuring them he would come
back.
Lindbergh wasted no more time.
He climbed into the plane and
started.
