Four years ago the Marquette professor, who is one of an estimated esti-mated 400,000 persons born on Dec. 2S, decided that something should be done about the Christmas-born. He felt they were being slighted because they were usually usu-ally given one present to do the work of two, and he believed that they should band together and celebrate the two days in one. And so he suggested that every person in the country who was born on Christmas Day be given a U. S. savings bond or stamp as a birthday present. lie started the ball rolling by personally presenting one dollar defense stamps to eight babies born at St. Joseph's hospital in Milwaukee .oh Christmas Day, and he urged that other Christmas children te given similar gifts for their birthdays. birth-days.

And then there was a letter from a business man in Dallas, Tex., who wrote that his company had taken a census of the most popular popu-lar birthday date among architects archi-tects and engineers in the United States, and it was discovered that a greater percentage of them were born on Dec. 25. A 94-year-old woman, also from Dallas, whose feeble handwriting hand-writing was almost indiscernable, wrote that she wanted to be a member of the birthday club. And there was a housewife from Moundsville, Va., who said that she thought the idea was a splendid splen-did one, and she wondered why no one had thought of such an association before, because the Christmas-born were indeed a select group. In expressing the hope that every person born on Christmas Day will receive two gifts this Dec. 23, Prof. Riordan asserted, "There is no better present in each case than a United States war bond."
