new son of Col. and Mrs. Charles A.
Lindbergh began his second day of life
today.
In Difference to the wishes of Col.

seclusion. No crowds assembled at the
gate of the hcme Of Mrs. Lindbergh's s
mother Mrs Dwight Morrow, where the
child was born.
May Be Named Dwight.
Friends seemed agreed that the baby
would probably be named after his
famous grandfather, the late Senator
Dwight Morrow. No statement was
Forthcoming. but the health of mother
and child was believed to be good
There was no official confirmation of
a report that the Lindberghs planned to
mcve soon to the mansion on Sourland
Mountain, from which their first child
was kidnapped.
Pleads for Privacy.
In his statement last night Lindbergh
said:
Mrs. Lindbergh and have made our
home in New Jersey. 1t is naturally our
wish to continue to live there near our
friends and interests. Obviously, how
ever, it is impossible for us to subject
the life Of our second son to the pub
licity which we feel was in a large
measure responsible for tie death Of
Our first
I'VE feel that our children have a
right to grow up normally with other
children. Continued publicity will make
this impossible. l am appealing to the
press to permit our children to lead the
lives of normal Americans"

GAINING FAST

ness that has spread to such an
extent that in some sections of
the city so per cent of all
juveniles are coming in contact
with the courts, it is reported.

checked if possible, as Policeman
w. T. Murphy, head of the
juvenile department of the Crime
Prevention Bureau, reports that
80 per cent of all habitual
truants eventually become Grim

be an increase in the number Of
