under the Constitution they enjoy a theoretical

they were unWelcome and they took the hint After
ALL they had their own segregated quarters at New

they seemed contented to be off by themselves
But the prohibition speakeasy was a democratic
institution and presently the society element got
foot in the door and then crashed Scons got in

and inventing drinks with whipped cream and gar

The decent element have themselves to blame to
some extent, however, because there came time
there when the more daring of them thought it
would be lark to do some Summing around Palm

Mortality among twins and trtplets in premature

A premature baby is not developed sufficiently

Furthermore, the premature baby is likely to sue

it is easily exposed
CUCCESSFUL rearing Of the quntuplets depended

maintenance of proper body temperature. the feed
ing of sufficient quantity of properly collected and
preserved human milk, and extraordinary vigilance
in preventing development of infections.
What has been accomplished for these babies may
well be a lesson to parents throughout the world as
to the type Of care necessary TO be given every
infant so that he may the best possible oppor-

walls Of the canyon.
You shrink inwardly, and ex-

breath. Ants! But even then you
have no adequate conception of
Boulder Dams unprecedented size.
No better proof has ever been
shown that men are like ants
that enough men with enough
time and enough organization can

NNE man is infinitesimal here.
" Yet Man Power in a generic
sense is quickly evident, indeed is
impressive in its limitless strength
and ability. Not since the great
pyramid of Egypt was built has
man power been so pretentiously
used on an engineering project.
The engineers in charge will
tell you that-strangely-the de-
preston has been responsible for
pushing work on Boulder Dam
almost three years ahead of
schedule.
That is because the construction
firm, Six Companies, Inc, was
able to hire twice the number Of
workmen it had anticipated, at a
wage fair to all. Four thousand
ants can build an ant hill in about
half the time required by 1000
ants.
But that move redoubled the
demand for organization genius,
too. Ringling'S circus is famous
for it's systematic handling of
myriad details--but you should
study the system at Boulder Dam!
Remember, also. that the great
Egyptian pyramid, heretofore a

ing 20 years.
TINE 1000 workmen in Black
Il Canyon have built a dam 766
feet high, which is about equal to
the Woolworth Building in New
York, and which is by far the
largest dam in all the world.

At the bottom it is thicker than
two city blocks; its length on top,
where you soon will drive your
car, is nearly four blocks. And
three years haven't passed since
the first shovel of earth was
turned.
But that's just one item, the
dam proper. Before it could be
started, the human ants had lit
orally to make their holes under
ground. The workers dug four
tunnels Sc feet in diameter
through solid rock for a combined
distance of three miles.
A gigantic Golfer dam then d.
verted. the roaring Colorado out
of its normal bed into the tunnels,
leaving the actual dam site dry.
When father was a boy, those
tunnels alone would have defied
the best brains of engineers.
THIRST water in the lake is being
l. stored now. Eventually the
water will form the biggest ar
tificial lake in the world. About
100000 acre feet, if you like

about 5000 gallons for every

Soon the greatest aqueduct of

human need.
Power houses and transmission
lines will be operating by Sep

Americans.
Thus is Boulder Dam great-a

to do this, but he plans to launch
his attack in Georgia-Roosevelt' s
adopted state" And so conf
dent is he regarding victory in
Georgia that he is taking even
money bets.
Reason for his confidence is
that he has a strong ally in Gov.
Gene Talmadge, who, running on
a violent anti-New Deal platform,
recently carried the state.
Georgia chooses its delegates to
the Democratic national conven-
ton the first week in April. If he
captures this group, Huey figures
that he will have won so much
prestige that other state primaries
will be fairly easy.
1t so happens that the primaries
following Immediately after Geor-
gia are states in which Huey has
some strength. The first is Ne
braSka, the second week in April.
Then comes South Dakota, Ala
bama and Mississippi.
The last two fringe on Longs
so-called Southern Empire" The
first two are in the drought
stricken Midwest where there is
much agricultural unrest.
Huey'S hope is so to damage
RooSevelt's prestige by capturing
this first line of trenches, that the
Democratic party could not afford
to renominate him.
