A course in obstetrics is now
being offered to other taxi cab
drivers by Edward Leo" Deb

day afternoon was called upon
to officiate at the birth of a
daughter to Mrs. Wallace Bal
lard, colored, 70 Canal street,
Washington, d. c., while Mrs.

were riding in his cab.
The young mother and her
children had come here by bus
to visit her sister, Mrs. William

Erie Gardens. After alighting
from the bus at Goebel's station,
she became i'll.
With her four children, aged
two to nine, she walked across
the street to get taxi cab, but
as she neared the y rive Fur
store Mrs. Ballard I tnaus-
Gated and could not walk. She
sent her oldest son to summon
a cab and tended herself until
it arrived.
1t was fortunate that Mr..
Debien was the driver of the
taxi, as he is the father of three
children and thus is experienced
in the problems of childbirth.
He hurriedly helped the sick
woman and her children into the
cab, and raced down Perry
street.
"We tore through both stop
lights before she said the baby
was arriving" Debien said, $50
| pulled the cab to the curb and
stopped. / hurriedly moved the
four children into the front seat
and then helped the mother.
When the baby was born, |
picked her up and spanked her
until she cried, then placed her
on the floor of the cab and
rushed to the hospital"
Attendants at Magruder hos
pital carried Mrs. Ballard and
the baby into the emergency
ward. The six-pound girl and
her mother were none the worse
for their experiences. Debien
took Mrs. Ballard's other chill
dren to their aunt's home in
Erie Gardens. Tuesday Mrs.
Ballard and the new daughter
were released from the hospital,
and now are making the planned
visit with Mrs. Edwards.

"The Chamber directors face a
considerable task in obtaining a
