Jacqueline Jean Benson is q
strapping infant of two pounds,

But on January IA, her birth
day, she was too tiny even to
be weighed.
DR.. Edward P. King, who super

Jean weighed IL ounces at birth.
If his estimate is correct, Jacque-
line is the smallest baby ever
recorded.
Not until 18 days after birth
was the tiny breath of humanity
put on the scales, which record

representing weight Of the blan-

Hence their bitter hatred of him and the bitter attack recently made upon him before the | ffo,,ncIi nf tho League of Nations by Arthur drieser, Nazl president of the Danzig Senate.

 Poland Facing Dilemma
 The Poles were very proud cs the new treaty. It showed the world they were no longer Q mere Appen" dix to French policy and also hat" tered their claim to be ono of the first class powers. Since then Ger" manys army has become over. wheimingly stronger than Poland's. This German lamb has become . Na1i lion. French enthusiasm for Poland has been definitely chilled. France has concluded Q military al" iiance with Russia, which thus takes the place ia the French scheme Of things once held by Poland.
 Therefore, if and when the Nasis move aggressively upon Dansig, Poe land will face . very strong Der. many all alone. It will also face two nasty alternatives.

She was met by her husband, and
they went home after dining. They
were reused from their sleep by a
telephone call asking the doctor to
attend a sick child.
The voice which called was that
of a woman, the switchboard oper-
ator at the apartment hotel said.
Last night residents noticed an
auto on which the lights had been
burning all day. A 16-year-old boy
investigated and found the body of
DR.. Peacock in the back of his large
sedan, crumpled on the floor and
his coat thrown over it.
Address Is Checked
Police learned there was no such
person at the address the woman
gave when she summoned DR.. Pea
cock. He had made notation on a
pad by his telephone, &c. Smale,
6438 North Whipple-St."
Edith Cecil, a maid working in the
vicinity said she passed the car
about 1870 yesterday morning and
heard a man and woman arguing
violently in the front seat. A man
who also passed the scene at 2:30
said he saw couple in the car.
But a second man told police that
he passed the car at midnight and
there was no one in it. Since coro-
ner's physicians estimated that DR..
Peacock was dead before 100 a. m.
Yesterday, police believe that the
killers sat in his car quarreling as
his body lay in the back.
Put Up Fierce Fight
The motive is obscure. Police
learned $40 had been taken from
DR.. Peacock's pockets, but his watcl
and jewelry were unmoleSted. His
medicine case had been ransacked,
and two bottles were missing, but
neither contained narcotics. None of
his hypodermic needles was touched.
There was evidence that he had
put UP furious fight. His hand
was caught in the door as the
killers showed his body into the back
seat after beating and shooting him.
DR.. Peacock served the United
States Army Intelligence and Brit
ish Navy Intelligence during the
World War. He graduated from
Knox College and Rush Medical
School, and had an excellent pro-
fessional reputation.
Police planned to examine his files
and question his associates.

Joseph j. Sinnott, for many

During the last 40 years, Mr..

PARIS, Jan. 4.-President Roose-

most favorable impression in French
governmental quarters. A spokes-
man said of it today:
1T is a call to reason and calm
addressed to peoples who desire to
trouble peace. Such people under
go the moral condemnation of a
formidable power"
The speech, the spokesman said,
was sure to receive the general ap-
probation of France. Particularly
striking to French minds was the
Presidents reference to the small
minority of nations that seek to
disturb present territorial limits.
Newspapers reacted favorably to
the Presidents criticisms of dicta-
