Not many months ago, In the

a very distressing case In which

child that was given her as her
own was one to which, she had
not given birth. This Is most
distressing state Of mind. A con-
viction OF this sort, once estab-

Gated by any amount Of testimony

transferred to an adjacent room'

Here q strand Of beads bearing
a number. in some institutions

the patients bedroom, is placed
around the baby's neck. I have
always insisted that this ought to
be done in the delivery room, in
the presence OF the doctor and his
attendants and record should be
made of the number and of the
color Of the strand Of beads. In
other institutions different forms
of tagging are practiced. The
child thus tagged and dressed is

The seems absolutely Indifferent as to what the
may efforts are solely directed at forcing
annual ukeep Of this Federal City controlled by Congress
There are absolutely no other serious differences between

for the District at 20 per cent The House umpm propo

than 20 per cent Of the total funds necessary.
The attitude Of certain House leaders is that the Senate must

endless confusion and cessation of municipal functions
