PELLA. Iowa, May 2.-That
Dam family has discovered the
lone Way Out" IL anyone has.
They can't speak a word OF
English. But they can teach us
a lesson in solving the problem OF
living.
They've been in America only
a week or so, but they are already
settled on an Iowa farm, six miles
from here--snugly settled In a
six-room house on 40 acres of rich
Iowa land-14 of them.
Where will they sleep? Good
ness knows. But they won't be
in a six-room house on a rented
farm very long.
They have all come over here
to work-from the baby boy to
the father. They will work hard
and save their money and in a
few years they'll own their own
farm and maybe the one next to
it.
The Dam family came from
Nieuw Beyerland, near Rotter-
dam. The father, Jacob Dam, was
a baker and he couldn't do any
more than get barely enough to
feed the IL hungry children. His
problem was much the same as
