Philadelphia, Aug. 6.-U,D-An
infant girl, whose mothers death
was necessary before she could
have life, gathered strength In her
fight to survive tonight under the
skillful administrations Of medi-
cal science.
The daughter Of Mary and DOM
mick Boccawsini, was taken alive
from her mothers dead body by
a CaSarian operation at 3:16 a. m.
(EDT) today, a minute after Mrs.
Boccawsini's death. Her tempera-
ture then stood at 1894, and
chances Of death were equal to
those of life. As DR.. John Corbit
and his assisting nurses minister
ed to her tiny form through the
day, they reduced the fever and
increased hSr strength. In the
late afternoon the temperature
had been lowered to 1907.

baby's temperature down to SO
or a 100 and keep it there" DR..
Corbit said. IF she lives through
until tomorrow, I will say that
her chances of surviving are pref
ty good. Of course, anything can
happen in a case like this. We
can't tell as yet whether she has
passed the critical stage"
The baby could not yet breathe
alone, however. DR.. Corbit order
ed her removed from an impro-
vised oxygen tent during the
morning when she seemed to be
coming along nicely. But 20 min
utes later a blush color began
spreading over her face, and the
tent was hastily placed over her
head again. She quickly regained

Washington, Aug. 6. -U1-
The senate today took the first
step in launching a permanent
drive to aid the poorest third OF
the nation when 1t passed and
sent to the house the $700, ,000, 900
Wagner housing bill designed to
clear slum areas now breeding dis
ease and crime and to cause erec-
ton Of low-cost dwellings in their
place.
The vote was 81 to 16. One Of
the major items on President
Roosevelt's revised list Of desired
legislation for this session, it Is
expected to get early consideration
in the house, where the house
banking and currency committee
is preparing the measure for floor
action.
Byrd Amendment
As approved by the senate the
bill contains an amendment by
Sen. Harry F. Byrd. D.. Va.
against which the author Of the
measure, Sen. Robert F. Wagner.

the grounds that 1t amounted to

can not justify his conduct.
The human family does not
live like cats and dogs, hens and
roosters, nor as cattle in the open
range. Out of it's ages long eX-
perience it has elected to live
under laws governing its social
relations and one of the most
sacred of these laws relates to
marriage and the home.
Not all marriages are happy
and biologically man is natural
ly inclined to polygamy. All
normal men and women have a
certain amount of attraction Tor
one another, and it is the easiest
thing in the world for man to
become enamored of another
mans wife, or for a wife to cast
furtive eyes at another woman'S
husband. All the laws on the
statute books can't restrain these
normal and natural sex impulses
But that doesn't give any man or
woman a right to be a law unto
himself or herself"
