PAY PREMIUM
FOR EM CHILD
London. Jan. 31 .-Beginning to
day, every child horn in the Unit
ed Kingdom to parents insured
und the new rational insurance
act will bring the parents a boun
ty nl .'!,! shi imgs. i r about 87.50.
Under the new act the mother is
entitled to a sick benefit during
her illness.
There are about 1,200,000
births annually in the United
Kingdom. It is estimated that
fully one million of these will be
entitled to the insurance benefit.
One expected effect of the scheme
is an improvement in the nation
al physique, which is said to have
suffered considerably because
many mothers are denied neces
sities.
APPOINT GUARDIAN
TOME GIRL
Upon petition of C<*o. R. Walk
er, United States district attor
ney, to have Rev. W. H. Zeigler
appointed guardian of Elsie Rip
stein, a hearing was held last ev
ening by Commissioner Shepard.
After the hearing of testimony the
court appointed Mr. Zeigler guar
dian, when the mother arose and
in her native dialect said:
“You will have lo cut me open
before you lake from me mv
child.”
The mother was permitted lo
take the child with hgr until the
newly appointed guardian tiled his
bond, which he did this morning.
Some further disposition may be
made in the case. The. action tak
en by Judge Walker is the re
sult of evidence adduced in the
Little case, wherein Mrs. Rip
stein's reputation was not great
ly enhanced, she carrying a baby
Ji months’ old, while the testi
mony disclosed that her husband
was an inmate of (he Morning
side hospital in Oregon for three
years last past.
