Of course, for a mother to give'
Hrth to five babies, startles not only
the community, but the newspaper
press services. It's news, of front
page dimensions. ..It even attracts
international attention—an event of
that kind. And, so many, you know,
look inquiringly at the doctor; he is
supposed to know why, if anybody
does.
Not so very long ago, the old
stork left five new babies with a
family—you read about it in the
papers. With so many of them tt/

could not be an overplus of vigor fori

Isolates New Metai
Dr. Aristid von Grosse, 29 years
old, University of Chicago chemist,
has succeeded in isolating the world's
rarest metal, "Protactinium" . . . .
worth more than $100,000 an ounce.
It is known as element 91 and gives

write these words. Hope he does.

Wise-crack said the father should be
exhibited as the real curiosity. Which
brings me to my subject.
The mother accomplished tho
miracle—not the father—his was a
secondary part, nothing out of the
ordinary.
, The mother furnishes the ova—
the egg; be it one or a dozen. Very
seldom is it more than one—though
it would seem this year has been re-
markable for its plural births. Even
twin births are comparatively sel-
dom. Until 1934.
The mother produces the ova,
periodically, one or—several. The
ova are fertilized—impregnated by ^ hunting ducks, geese or brant.

who discharges in health a half-
dozen ova, each one capable of fer-

A pretty affair of last week was
the shower given by friends of Mrs.
John Allen, Jr., at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. E. J. Holcomb.
As the guests entered they were
greeted by Mrs. Jfolcomb and asked
to inscribe their names in the bride's
book presided over by Miss Pauline
Allen, it was then presented to the
honoree. .
Mrs. D. E. Spencer in her clever
and charming manner, directed the
entertainment, announcing first a
program of a number of musical
pieces by Miss Mamie Latham. After
this, Mrs. Spencer announced a vocal
solo, "Sunshine of Your Smile,"
which was so sweetly and artistically
given by Miss Mary Elma Brittain,
in her accustomed singing way.
Upon announcement of the end of
program, little Miss Mary Grace
Spencer invited the honoree and her
friends to follow her to the joining
room. There Mrs. Allen found many
useful gifts awaiting her. Much mer-
riment was caused by the opening of
the packages.
The guests were then directed to
the dining room, where delicious
punch ant! cakes were served by
Misses Ruth Allen and Mamie Sue
Cole.
At a late hour the guests departed
wishing for the happy couple all the
joy and happiness that could be
theirs.

see us, whether you want anything or
not, we will alwaysbe glad to sec

Dads, who once become interested
in scouting, arc usually the most en-
thusiastic supporters. However, in
many communities, mothers, who arc
interested in seeing their boys grow
into the best of citizens, also form an
organization of their own and spon-
sor certain phases of scout work.
Statistics show that a very, veryj
small percentage of Boy Scouts ever
become criminals or even have a

case in cowrt. Boy Scouts grow to be
the MOST UNSELFISH of all me,-.
They seek every day to do a "GOOD
TURN" for someone else. The Boy
Scout learns to study plants, tren
and animals. Therefore, he enjoys
his leisure time more than other
boys. The Boy Scout organization is
one of the greatest agencies for
character building to be found any-
where.

Only two passengers had survived
the shipwreck, a woman and a
Scotchman. By the end of their
second week their clothing was in
tatters, their food was exhausted
and the outlook was dark indeed.
"It just couldn't be worse,"
moaned the woman. "Ah, but it
could," said the Scotchman. "I might

ODD ACCIDENTS
A tiny Georgia tot, Roland Clarke,
aged three, was fatally injured when
he ventured too near the revolving
wheel of a jacked-up auto. The little
fellow was whirled around several
times before being thrown clear.
Even the proverbial worm occas-
ionally turns on his oppressor. A
striking example of this occurred re
cently when a pet rabbit saw a Mis
souri copperhead (snake) crawling
into his cage. When the reptile was
part way through the wire and
couldn't defend himself the bunny
leaped on his enemy and kicked him
to death.
Seven year old George Paplomatas
is glad he swallowed the glass tube
through *.'hich he was fed because of
paralyzed throat and vocal muscles.
Some miraculous cure was performed
by the glass and George is now
learning to talk.

family physician when Minnie Lois
West, a tiny Tennessee tot, com-
plained of a very sore throat.Imagine
his surprise a few days later when
the point of a three-inch duck feather
made its appearance outside her
throat and had to be extracted.
Bad aim of a West Virginia paper
delivery boy was held responsible for
severe head injuries to Robert A.
Miller who was passing by in a Par.
The paper, tossed toward the house,
missed the porch and shattered the
windshield of the car.

The Boy Scout Movement is neith-
er a religious nor military organiza-
tion. Boys who are Jews, Catholic, j
Protestant, and Baptist belong to the
organization. The National Council
of The Boy Scouts of America re-j
quires that some church or civic club,}
sponsor every troop of Boy Scouts;
that is organized. However, if spon-j
sored by a church, the church]
guarantees a place for the troop toj
meet. It does not seek to influence
any boy to attend that particular
church.
The Scout Master is selected by a
committee of local men, who are in-
terested in boys and character build-
ing. The plans and policies of the
troop are to be largely determined by i
the troop committee which work:)
with the Scout Master. At all times
the adults of any community are in-
vited to attend the scout meetings
and find out for themselves what
Scouting stands for and does for the
boy. []

and Fever!
Mtf your .System of Afa/arta/
Shivering with chills one moment and
burning with fever the next—that's one
of the effects of Malaria. Unless checked,
the disease will do serious harm to your
health. Malaria, a blood infection, calls
for two things. First, destroying the in-
flection in the blood. Second, building,
up the blood to overcome the effects a?''
the disease and to fortify against further
attack.
Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic supplies
both these effects. It contains tasteless
quinine, which kills the infection in the
blood, and iron, which enriches and
builds up the blood. Chills and fever
soon stop and you are restored to health
and comfort. For half a century, Grove's
Tasteless Chill Tonic has been sure relief
for Malaria. It is )ust as useful, too, as a
genera] tonic for old and young. Pleasant
to take and absolutely harmless. Safe to
give children. Get a bottle at any drug
store. Now two sizes—50c and $1. The

irritation, sniffle or sneeze—
just a few drops of Va-tro-nol.
It stimulates the functions
provided by Nature—in the
nose —to preyenf colds and to
throw off colds in their early
stages.
Where irritation has led to
a clogged-up nose (a stuffy
head cold or nasal catarrh)
Va-tro-nol penetrates deep
into the nasal passages—re-
duces swollen membranes —
clears away clogging mucus—
brings comforting relief.
Va-tro-nol is powerful, yet
absolutely safe—for both chil-
dren and adults. It has been
clinically tested by phy-
sicians—and proved in
everyday home use by
millions.

the remarkable success of Vicks
