 Youth is always the same" he said.
 Scoffs at Critics
 Critics of modern youth were brushed aside by the professor. who thinks in time far beyond the ages man Is prone to conceive.
 Beyond all discussions of science and relativity, he went into child ish, ecstatic thrill as he gazed upon the regiment Of school children in middies and skirt uniform singing to him from the pier.

 With beaming eyes and tremulous voice the professor turned after watching the band of a hundred musicians and asked:
 'Professional?
 No, school children,' several voices replied.
 "Ach,. Admirable" he murmur- cd.
 Asked About Youth
 Then he was asked what he thought Of the youth of today, and suggestions modern youth has be- come wilder and has more liberties. He smiled serenely and softly said:
 "Nein, youth is always, cndlessly the same.' And he turned again to the rail of the steamer which brought him from Germany He feasted his eyes on the exuberant youth, singing and waving to him.

IOWA PAIR HAVE
FIVE SETS OF TWINS
Their Only Worry Is Finding
Alliterative Names.

Council Bluffs, Iowa.-To most fa-
theirs the arrival of a pair of twins
comes MS a shock, but Andrew Roger
has become Injured and only smiled
when informed his wife had given
birth to their fifth pair.
Pride shone from his glance as he
announced: "They told us before
there were several families with four
sets Of twins. Now It's a cinch we've
got them beat"
Married in 1905, Mr.. and Mrs. Roger
half expected twins when they learned
their first baby was coming, for there
were twins in both branches Of the
family.
They were disappointed the first
time, however, when Orren, now twen-
ty-four, appeared. High hopes faded
three years later when Ellery was
born and almost disappeared two
years later, when Bessie made her ap-
pearance.
Then hope fared again and was re.
warded with the appearance Of Clyde
and Claude in 1913. Abbie and Addie
followed in 1915. and Floyd and Lloyd
came In 1920.
Said Andrew to his wife, as she fed
the latest arrivals:
II told you so. There's twins and
twins on both sides. There'll be more.
You wait and see."
Two years passed before Jean and
Jeannette showed up, and the parents
named them and sought more ALTER
alive names for use in case Andrews
prediction was fulfilled in greater
portion.
Jack, now Ave, interrupted their
search, and they began to believe the
twins had ended, but last year hope
was renewed.
Came 1880, and with 1t Norma Jean
and Donald Dean.
Now Roger, who is forty-eight, ru'
inmates as he works for the Union
Pacific transfer in Council Bluffs, and
his wife, forty-two, wonders as she
works about the house, for more al
lucrative names may be needed.
.'You never can tell; It may be the
,, will Of God; II more come, they will
be taken care Of and they will be vel
come" Koger explained.
And little Jack, who. his fathel
says, "by right should have been .
twin" wonders and asks why people
say she's single" as though thai
was something Of which he should BIZ
ashamed.
