A NEWBORN BABY

A baby is God's opinion that life should go on. Never will a time come when the most marvelous recent invention is as marvelous as a newborn baby. The finest of our precision watches, the most supercolossal of our supercargo planes, don't compare with a newborn baby in the number and ingenuity of coils and springs, in the flow and change of chemical solutions, in timing device and interrelated parts that are irreplaceable.

PREMATURE BIRTH

The world's tiniest baby, weighing 11 ounces, measuring only six inches long and born two months premature, is doing well in Nottingham, England. He is one of twins. His brother weighed three times as much at birth.
