Of Mrs. Rose O'Neill Greenhow,
Washington society matron who
served as a Confederate secret
agent. She was arrested in 1861,
and imprisoned until the spring Of
1852. Later, returning from
England aboard the Confederate
blockade runner Condor, she was
drowned when her small boat cap
sized after the ship grounded of
New Inlet near Wilmington. Her
grave is in Oakdale Cemetery, vii

MingIing with the blockade run

gave that area a new name, Tor

On the beaches of the Outer
Banks Islands-long narrow strips
of sand and sparse vegetation that
stretch along the Carolina coast
are wrecks which the sea has
finally given up. One of the most
famous is the Carroll A. Deer
ing, schooner which went aground
off Hatteras in 1921 and when
boarded by rescuers yielded no
trace of her crews fate. The
behring's remains later washed up
on Ocracoke Island. In 1866, dur
ing Hurricane lone, they shifted
north to Hatteras Island.
Tales of valuable cargo sal
vaged from wrecks, or pirate ships
still buried in the sands, and con-
tanning treasure, of heroic rescue
and tragic loss of life, are told up
and down the North Carolina
coast.
One of the wrecks most recently
in the news was the Monitor
which went down off Hatteras
after its battle with the "Merri-
mac. A wreck tentatively identi-
fled as the monitor" was dis
covered just off Hatteras in 1866.
The most complete listing of
wrecks along the North Carolina
Coast, together with accounts of
sea rescues, is contained in David

spread the truth about the Jew
and Judaism far and wide by
means of modern communication
is obviously insufficient.
In the first place people receive
informations coming through tel
evision, radio and press, with GER
tain reservations and are used to
regarding them as another phase
of commercialism. Secondly, the
attitude of the non-Jew toward
us is such that this work of en-
lightenment cannot be accomp-
lished by means of modern COM
munications alone, simply because
Christians conduct their Evangel-
ical and Missionary work by way
of testimony, and can, therefore,
understand and appreciate the re-
ligion of others only by way of
testimony and living example.
Available means of communica-
ton must, therefore, be supple

to his neighbor.
The Individual Jew must above
all else know, think and live the
religious ideals and practical eth
les of Judaism. He cannot do this
by separating himself from the
synagogue for the whole year and
be content with being a mere
"year-end" Jew, or by disregard
ing Jewish observances which are
the visible signs of his religious
faith. He cannot accomplish this
by merely affiliating himself with
his people through some char
table organization or through
some Jewish Country Club.
Only by knowing, thinking and
living his religious teachings in
his daily life, will each individual
Jew offer the greatest help to-
wards our neighbours understand
ing of the Jew.
On Rosh Hashonah when we
lay bare our very soul, our inner
most feelings and our highest
aspirations before the Eternal, it
is this message that ought to
permeate our New Years resolu-
ton, and thus hope for happy
and peaceful year in 5716.

Baby Mixups Are Rare

mix-ups actually do happen,
although every responsible
hospital in North America
takes great precautions to
avoid such errors. Let's say
the chance of a mistake in
your case is only one in a mil
lion, but maybe you don't
want to take any chance at
all. Talk it over with your
own obStetrician. Ask him to
make an appointment for you
with the superintendent of the
hospital to which you are 60
ing and discuss this subject
fully with the superintendent.
Let him (or herr have some
one demonstrate to you in de-
tail just what precautions are
taken to avoid mix-ups. The
experience will help to remove
yours fears. If hospitals make
full use of all the scientific
methods of identifying a new
born baby with its mother,
there is no reason for you to
feel any anxiety.

By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

In spite of all the precau-
tions taken by hospitals these
days, many a woman who goes
to the hospital for childbirth
is fearful that she might not
get the right baby after all.
The apprehension sometimes
seems to be confirmed when
the newborn has traits that are
quite unlike those of parents.
Such unlikeness is, of course,
very common. For instance,
the mother and father may be
blonds and the offspring have
red hair because he takes after
a grandparent. But new moth
erS are in a situation unfa-
miliar to them and they are
likely to be emotional - and
perhaps they have read of
some of the unusual cases in
which babies were inter-
changed.
Unfortunately, it does hap
pen. Nearly five years ago I
published in this column the
story of a heart-rending case
that was reported from Swift
zerland. MI. and Mrs. j. had
come home from the hospital
with twin sons. Seven years
later, friends pointed out the
extraordinary likeness between
one of these twins, Philippe.
and another 7-year-old in the
town, ErnStli. Scientific tests
were made and it was deter
mined that Ernstli was actu-
ally the other one of Mrs. Us
twin babies and that Paul,
whom she had brought up as
her own, was in fact the son of
Madame x. The hospital had
exchanged the boys.
Madeleine Joye (Mrs. J.)
has now told her own story in
detail in poignant book called
He Was Not My Son." (Rine-
hart & Co., Inc, 1854, 232
Madison avenue, New York 16,
New York, 155 pages, price
So. 1t is book we'll worth
reading. Should she give up
the baby whom she had loved
as son for seven years and
take a stranger brought up in
different (and more wealthy
home and scarcely speaking
the same language German
was used in his home more
than French) So far as
Madame X was concerned, she
preferred to keep the boy she
hadnursed during these seven
years, even though she knew
that he was not her own son.
She had to be forced to give
him up, and he came to his
real parents not merely as a
stranger but as a hostile
stranger. Any mother can,
perhaps imagine what these
two Swiss mothers went
through, but Madame Joye's
account is richly worth read
ing nevertheless.
What does this mean to
you, Mrs. N? You write me
to know whether there is any
real danger of such a -mix-up
when your baby is born next
month. 1t means that such
