SlAMESE TWINS EXPECTED TO RECOVER:
 DOCTORS WON'T DIVIDE STRANGE PAIR

Holyoke, Mass, Sept. 22 UP)- Joined together since birth by a freak Of nature. Mary and Margaret Gibbs, l4year- old Siamese twins, will continue to live their strange hTcs as one individual.
 With one of the girls seriously i'll with influenza. and the life of the other automatically threatened, phy- sicians had considered the necessity Of separatory operation as a last desperate hope Of beating death.
 But today, Mary, who had been most critically i'll, was reported much better and Margaret's condition was nearly normal. and attending physi- clans were confident that no opera ton would be required.
 Mrs, John k. Gibbs, mother of the famous twins, announced they had slept well through q restful night and that she had been assured by Doctors F.. P. Bagg. Jr.. and Arthur Kinne that her children were vir- Itually out Of danger.
 A trained nurse. Miss Clara Thompson. was still at the bedside this morning, however, and it was said she would remain on duty un- til Mary and Margaret were able to leave their bed.
 Doctors stated that, barring un- forcseen developments, the twins should be up and around within a week. Mary's condition today was "very satisfactory" 1t was said, and there was no reason to believe that complications would halt recovery.
New Britain herald., 1927-09-22

The twins. who recently complet ed q vaudeville tour that took them to many parts of the country have been confined to bed for nearly n week, now. but they never have com plained, according 10 their mother.
 They do not feel that they are seriously handicapped" Mrs. Gibbs said. Except for the fact that thev are joined at the hips. they are ab- solutely normal girls, and they are able to do almost anything other normal girls can do.
 When they are well they can dance and play billiards They are wonderfully cheerful children. even when sickness keeps them in bed.
 "rhey were in bed with influenza once before-during the 1918 epi- demic. Margaret was quite i'll at that time and Mary didn't have so much as a cold. Mary did her best to cheer Margaret then. Now it's the other way. Margaret frequently asks. How do you feel now Mary? Are you comfortable? Did you have a good slcep?'
 "They never quarrel. They are just as inseparable mentally as phy- sically. They always try 10 help each other and neither is ever cross During their present illness they have never once complained.

ing so much that we had to fix it SC | Il wouldn't ring, because Mary and | Margaret would hear it and want to know what all the excitement was about
 The children are much better to- day and I have been assured by our physicians that they will come along all right"
 pr. Bagg, who. with Dr. Kinne. has watched the development of the Slamese twins ever since they were born, told the United Press today I Separatory operation would have been performed only in an extreme emergency.
 Although I have not consulted medical records on the subject. it is my impression that no such opera ton ever was successful" he said Tt would be a highly dangerous un- dertaking and we would consider it only as a last resort.
 such an operation surely wouId '' iuL"l lo on" or the twins and very likely 10 both, Loss of blood probably would not cause death. but the shock undoubtedly would prove fatal. All this Of course Is entirely speculative, as there is no precedent upon which to base ones judgment"
 He said that just after the twins "er" born, the medical professiop considered the possibility of separat Ing them and reached the conclusion that In the event Of such an opera lon no guarantee would be given that either Mary or Margaret would survive.
 With Mary's condition consid- erahIy improved today" Dr. Bagg said We are very hopeful that the twins will recover"

Among the bills calling for special
taxation are a four-mill levy for the
George Rogers Clark Memorial

European corn-borer and a 2-cent
