Squaw, 88, Loved
by 53 Children
WJBTUMKA, Oklu. (U.R) — Aunt
Lizzie Winn, 88, the revered god-
mother of the old Creek tuition, ha,,
decided that she is too old to rear
another brood. She has adopted
and reared 53 children. In addition,
she has mothered seven boys of her
own.
The last two of the 00 children
are growing: into young manhood.
Aunt Lizzie said they would be her
last children. '
She wants to spend her last days
"thinking iii.^eace" amid the soli-
tude of the mountains, where she
lias attempted to stav? off civiliza-
tion and its attendant problems.
She will continue to live in the
battered log cabin, nestling amid
the blackjack trees, und will de-
pend on her scores of neighboring
sons and daughters, grandsons and
granddaughters, down the fourth
generation, to bring her flour and
meal.
Her Wants Are Meager
"I don't want much," she said.
"Just a little food, and the chance
to talk with my children.
She worries that no one will take
her place when she dies.
"There wil be other homeless
children," she said. "People don't
fit!em to care about other people
like they used to. I wonder what's
going to happen, to all those poor
kids."
It has been her s«lf-M mmed re-
sponsibility for 00 years. She took
the first Indian waif into her home
when sfhe was 28. At one time, she
had 28 children in her cabin. At
other times, there were only two
or three.
She found one child abandoned
on n road. Weeping Indian girls
brought her other children. She
has reared many of the children
of her seven sons, all of whom aro
now deavl. I

Ohio Prison Popula-
tion Goes Over
36,000 Mark
COLUMBUS, 0„ <U.R)—Ohio has
a large "family" to feed three
times a day. The "family" numbers
more than 36,000 and represents
the prison population of (he entire
.state.
Mrs. Margaret All man, stute
welfare director, explains that
with the rising food prices she
feels that "only $3,733000 may not
be sufficent for the gastronomic
needs of the state's wards.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., <U.R> —An
alert group of chemical and agri-
cultural scientists are doing big
things with the lowly soy bean a
few miles out of Nashville.
It all started 25 years ago when
some agricultural chemists at
small, quiet, self-supporting Nash-
ville Agricultural Normal Institute
started some experiments with the
soy bean then used principally as
forage.
In a small group of buildings
housing the three-month-old indus-
try, scientists now are making
milk, meat, coffee and automobile
accessories from the vegetable.
The men are E. M. Bisalski, his
staff of assistants, and Dr. Philip
S. Clen, research chemist from
China.
Long Used in China
Dr. Chen, who brought the learn
ing of old China to the aid of mod-
em science, says, "There's nothing
new about it at nil. We had soy
bean ir.ilk in China 3,000 years
ago."
But although the Chinese had
the raw soy bean milk, it remained
for the scientists to neutralize the
bean flavor and approximate that
of the cow. That has taken about
20 of t he 25 years.
First of all, experiments with
the bean milk showed that genera-
tion after generation of rats, living
on i! exclusively, grew strong and
produced prolific offspring in the
institute laboratory.
Then, after years of experimen-
tation, scientists were able to du-
plicate milk flavor. Now it is said
to be difficult to distinguish it
from eow's milk.
