Friday, 18th, Joyful
Day for 80 Families
Visited by Stork-
Dr., Mrs. julien Steward
Choose 1t Deliberately
For Coesurion Delivery

While Friday the 18th is generally
regarded as day Of evil omen, there
are some threescore families In the
vicinity Of Washington who will op-
pose that contention with vigor.
They are the families to whom the
stork yesterday delivered 80 bundles
of happiness in the 24-hour period
comprising the dread "jinx day."
True, his visits were somewhat I'M
peded by inclement weather.
Most proud of the many proud
fathers was DR.. Julian H. Steward,
serious young scientist Of the Bureau
of American Ethnology, Smithsonian
Institution, who nominated Friday
in advance for a Caesarian delivery
of an 8-pound boy, born yesterday
at Columbia Hospital to Mrs. Stew
ard.
When he and Mrs. Steward learned
that their baby would be Caesarian-
born, they decided, with the physi-
clans approval, that the child should
be delivered on Friday the 18th.
They wanted it born on the sixth
anniversary of their marriage on
that day In 1888.
I'VE sort of like Friday because
we think it's lucky day for u.s."
Dr. Steward said this morning. And
from all indications, the young
scientist was correct. Mrs. Steward
and the baby were reported doing
nicely" by hospital attaches this
morning. The Stewards reside at 25
Marion avenue, Mclean, Va.

starter for the stork, who made the
