FOUR FATHERS

Legally, the Dionne quintuplets
now have four fathers, appointed
as their guardians by the Ontario
government.
Left to right, they are Kenneth
Morrison, Callander merchant and
old friend of the Dionne family;
DR.. A. r. Dafoe, the physician
who took charge of the multiple
birth, Oliver Dionne, the quin-
tuplets' grandfather; and w. H.
Anderson of the Canadian Red
Cross.
The swarm of promoters which
Immediately surrounded Dionne
was so great that it was felt he
would be unable to handle them
without the possibility of some i'm
position that would handicap the
future of the quintuplets.

CORBEIL

Corbeil, ontario, nearest town to
the Dionne farm, and so small. it
hasn't even a Main Street" The
small white church with the dark
cupola just to the right of the CEN
ter is that of the Rev. Daniel
Routhier, parish priest and ad-
visor to the Dionnes.
The stony ground in the farm
yard in the foreground gives a
clew to the difficulties that go
with farming in this district,
where Dionne has been able to
make only a bare living. 1t is on
the edge Of heavily-wooded
country, and is not highly pro-
ductive land.

NEW MEXICO
To SPEED Up
HIGHWAY JOB

A telegram received at the cham
Der of commerce today, from A. H,
Gardner, Tombstone, Ariz., western
regional director of the Broadway
of America, advising that the paw
ing contract for the road between
Rodeo and Road Forks, N. NJ. will
be speedily completed. This is the
only unpaved link on the Broad
way of America.
Contract for this work was let
this week by the New Mexico high
way commission to A. C. Peabody
of Las Cruces, who has practically
all the necessary material close to
the job and plans to begin work
Immediately
The road has just been realigned,
rebuilt, Strengthened and surfaced
with gravel. The oil surface about
to be applied will make it first
class road for high speed travel.
"The Broadway of America will
now be paved for its entire length,
from Broadway, New York, to
Broadway. San Diego. through FL
Centre. 1t will be at least 10 years
before any other tranScontinental
highway can possibly be similarly
paved,' stated Manager Robert
Hays, at chamber headquarters to-
day.
"The Broadway of America as
sociation was organized eight years
ago to pave the Broadway and to
promote travel over the route. The
paving is about to be completed. and
it was a strenuous eight years
work. There yet remains work for
us to do, - he said, "to hold motor
travel on this great route Other
highways, though not nearly COM
pleted, are moving heaven and
earth to divert traffic their way.
Now having completed Broadway of
America. our work is to see that
the motoring public uses it in pre-
ference to other roads. There is
an investment in Ell Centro alone
of $l,600,000 for tourist facilities,
and the success and earnings of
these businesses depend upon the
continued flow of motor traffic
through this city,
A group met at chamber of COM
merce headquarters this week to
discuss more highway directional
signs at strategic points on High
way U. S. 80, where competing in
terests are endeavoring to deflect
travel away from the Broadway of
America. Plans were made for an
early trip to Tucson to interest
that community in joining with
other cities on the route to erect
such signs and maintain them, for
the purpose of holding the traveller
on Highway U. s. 80.

OIL FIGHT CARRIED
TO VIRGINIA BOARD
Dealers Seek Ruling of State Code
Authority on Boost in
Prices.

The fight by the Northern Virginia
gasoline dealers to force the major
oil companies TO recede from their
order advancing prices in the nearby
area above those in the District of
Columbia was today referred to the
Virginia Petroleum Code Authority,
which has headquarters in Norfolk.
This move was made while the
dealers were awaiting word as to the
result of efforts by G. w Boyer. sec
retary OF the District OF Columbia
Petroleum Code Committee to per-
suade the companies to temporarily
restore the District prices while the
dealers are making an effort to work
out some solution OF the case
The major companies were stin
making deliveries to the Virginia NIL
ing stations today. despite the fact
that practically all of them are still
selling at District prices, but the COM
panies were charging the dealers the
extra cent.
