; This Is the season when proph
ets flourish. They gaze into the
crystal ball and with marked self
assurance predict what, will hap

tunate thing for these forecasters
Is that rarely or never does any
one take the trouble to look back
to see how accurate they, were on
their former prognostications.
The reason the weatherman
gets so many slams is because he
forecasts the weather for only a
day or two ahead. His customers
can jtfmember that long; so his
mistakes are currently known. If
be laid out his predictions for a
whole year, as daf the almanacs;
he would be saf ft from chidings.

call that last January I X dared
put on the spectacles of prophecy.
They have doubtless forgotten
what I predicted; but at risk of
my own exposure I am going to
review that job of forecasting.

At least I didn't get dumped in
dating the end of, the war, merely

on German -Hungarian units

the city, killing -2500 of them dur

the previous day. ;
Still other Russian units forced
the Hron river, one of the last big

SAN DIEGO, Calif, Dec. 2M)-Birth of a 750 gram baby de
scribed as a rarity to medical history, was disclosed today, 65
days after the arrival of the infant, Elizabeth Ann Beyman, who
now weigns wree pounas, six ounces. ; . ' .
- The attending pediatrician, who saide750 grains' was equiva

cent viability, or ability to live,
among even 1100 gram " babies
the lowest viability worked out
for Infants.
The baby's physician reported
that despite her size, Elizabeth
Ann was relatively : strong from
birth, being able to kick her pen
cil like legs and fling her tiny
arms about. She was fed a car
bon dioxide mixture for almost a
month. Now her diet has changed
to a powdered milk formula, and
she has been on the bottle for a
week.-.; -
Elizabeth Ann still is in an in
cubator in a hospital, , and her
physician will not permit her out
until her weight tips the five
pound mark, which will be 28
days from now if she continues to
gain at the rate of an ounce a day.
Even the baby's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Ralph E. Reyman, have
not been allowed to invade her in
fantile privacy. But they have
news of her and have been told
her eyes are blue, and that the
spare fuzz atop her cup sized head
is sandy colored. The father owns
