PARENTS WIN
Mixed Babes Not Mixed
AT All, They Declare

CHICAGO. July 25.-tP-The
mixup over the Bamberger-Watkins
babies was ironed i at an early
morning conference today at which
it was decided that the babies Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Bamberger
and Mr.. and Mrs. Watkins were
nexer mixed at all.
This decision, reached BY agree
mept between the parents, was OPP
posed TO that Of a group of Sclen-
lists who late yesterday decided the
babies had been switched al Engle-
wood hospital where they were
born.
Or. Arnold Kegel. health COM
missioner, was astounced when IN
formed Of the decision. He said ne
would consider whether TO pursue
the case further in the interest OF
public policy.
The parents, apparently in COM
plete accord, took the babies anc
vent home. They said the incident
was closed as far as they are con-
cerned.
The parents had demanded ar
investigation following the discov-
cry that an adhesive tape on the
back Of the Bamberger baby bore
the name Watkins" and that q
similar take on the watkins baby
was marked "Bamberger". They nov
believe that the tapes had beer
washed off at the hospital wher

DEPUTY ENDS

BICYCLE TRIP
Youngster Pedals To
w e c o On
Tireless Rim

Clifton Neyland aged nine years,
son OF w. A. Neyland. Brownsville
barber. has Just returned to Browns
Vile after an interrupted trip to
visit an aunt at Orange. Texas.
Clifton conceived the idea Of TAX
ing his dog and two guinea pigs and
making his aunt a visit. He decid-
ed to travel by bicycle. The bicy-
Gle had no back tire. but that did
not seem TO seriously interfere with
the plans Of young Mr.. Neyland.
There was another hitch in his
plans. The dog would not follow,
and he could catch but one Of the
guinea pigs. But nothing daunted.
he placed the other guinea pig in
his pocket, and stocking up on Is
cents cash he mounted the trusty II
dilapidated bicycle and set forth.
That was al 3 o'clock Thursday af-
ternoon.
Rafting along on the ~tireless
back wheel he passed up town after
town. An awful hunger at Wesla-
co. Pop went the Is cents. On
TO Orange.
Darkness Comes On
Darkness draws on. Things do
not look the same. Orange does not
seem half so near as when he
started. Clifton got 70 thinking
things over. Maybe his aunt at
Orange did not need him one half
so bad as the folks back home.
About ten o'clock last night Clifton
decided he had better turn around
and go back to protect the folks a.
Brownsville. The guinea pig Fas
hungry.
He returned a little way when a
al stopped him. This man hap
pened TO be a deputy sheriff OF Wes-
laco. Where are you going, my
little MANI" he aSl-d. II am going
TO Brownsville. SIR he said.
You'll never make IT,"
Don't see why-I made II up this
far
Want to rider"
"Yes. but / have no way 10 carry
my wheel"
But the wheel was strapped o.
the back or the car and Clifton
taken to Harrington. He accepted
an invitation for supper. and was
then turned over to Chief OF Police
Johnston, who put him to bed. His
Brownsville parents were called.
And now Clifton will not get to =

On the shores OF a dried UP inland
sea near the outer Monaghan bor-
der, Roy Chapman Andrews. noted
American explorer. has discovered
what he believes one Of the most
amazing fossil deposits ever reveal
ed TO human eyes.
In q death trap formed by a bog
Of sticky, almost bottomless mud, the
expedition has found the remains OF
p 70 80 great shovel-toothed mas
todons with 6-foot jaws, I'M Of

locality in 1923. Mr.. Andrews. who
returned here last night OF a brief
trip. said that SO far four skulls. a
number OF jaws. % to 80 tusks and
hundreds Of ribs found, indicated
n OF the most extraordinary adap-
tations in the whole animal king
dom. He said the animals must
have roamed Mongolia three million
years ago.
Another pit filled with the re-
mains Of ten to fifteen baby mas
todons was discovered. The young
animals apparently had come there
with their mothers to feed, but
were unable to extricate themselves
from the treachrous quicksandS.
The Andrews expedition now has
a whole age series Of shovel-toothed
mastodons Cplatybelodon) from the

Mangiaracina and Nasello were
pronounced dead at S:2l and Mes

Sacrament Administered
Two priests OF the Catholic
church administered the last
sacrament and accompanied the
trio to the gallows through an
entrance which led directly 70 the
trap, thus obviating the necessity
Of marching UP the thirteen steps.
AS approximately 200 witnesses
waited in the high-ceilinged execu-
ton chamber and crowds miled
about the barbados around the
jail, a pigeon fluttered out OF the
caves TO break the silence.
The three men filed In and took
places near the front Of the plat
form. Sheriff jefferson II. Smedley
asked whether they had any last

forward and said. well, we want to
