[swse ]| NEW BRITAIN HERALD [re#e+] BLOOD TESTS WILL DECIDE PARENTAGE Gypsy Queen or Kidoapped White Child? Oakland, Neb., Aug. 26 (#—The future of a golden-haired baby girl today hinged on the outcome of a blood test chosen to determine, whether the three-year-old child really is a gypsy princess or per- haps .the kidnapped daughter of other parents who somewhere are seeking her. The blood test to decide the ©hild’s gypsy parentage was decided upon by the authorities after they had taken the girl from a swarthy band whose king and queen claim- ed her as their own. The insistent pleading of the gypsy mother, known as Annie John, led the authorities to adopt the blood test as their method when the gypsies agreed to abide by the result of the test. Blood of the gypsy parents and that of the baby girl will be ana- lyzed and if found related the child will be returned to them as their gypsy princess. Otherwise she will be kept in custody here until the rightful parents seek and claim her. Already inquiries regarding the child have been received from many parts of the country and several parents are en route here in hopes of idéntifying the girl, the authorities said. W. C. T. U.

So enthusiastical- | ly did the youngsters respond that ' it seemed as if there were thousands before the procession started. Play- | ground Superintendent Dick Ander- son estimates that there were more than 800 actually in line. Ingenuity .and originality pre- dominated in the array of cos- tumes. The youngsters wore outfits which ranged all the way from the spectacular to the grotesque and sometimes combined both elements. There were fancy costumes, pretty ! costumes and some which seemed to suggest juvenile nightmares. Mnay were comical and provoked considerable amusement. The parade marched to the Wal- nut Hill park where ice cream and ! cake were served to the youngsters. An exhibition baseball game between the National Hale and Washington ! teams, with the laurels going to the | Washingtonites, concluded the pro- gram. The parade was headed by the Y. M. T.
