FiUe Morals

The five babies point five i'm

First: Nature and science are
q good pair of horses to hitch
to any baby carriage. The quin.
tuplets profited by the natural
advantage Of being born of good
stock, of a people who for gen.
erations have worked hard and
lived simply. Nature also gave
these babies the quiet and the
splendid air of country life.
Second: The quintuplets prove
what child hygiene can accom-
plish when it is allowed a
chance. Their development is a
triumph for all the rules of
feeding, cleanliness, fresh air,
sleep and exercise which doctors
and nurses for years have urged
mothers to follow in bringing up
their babies.
Third: The Importance of
giving a baby the right of way

Following sensational testimony
given by neighbors in the Short
Creek polygamy colony, the pair
was convicted separately by juries
composed of Arizona ranchers and
proSpectorS.
Throughout the trial the de,

living in polygamy was a part OF
the defendants religious beliefs
and that their forefathers had
practiced plural marriages.

I.N.SO The sound Of hammers
on heavy wood echoed through
the stiffness of the darkness be.
fore dawn today as carpenters,
toiling under electric lights,
started to build the Scaffold on
which Mrs. Elizabeth Tilford, So
year-old former Salvation Army
lassie, will die next Tuesday for
the murder of her husband.
Officials at the jail refused to
say whether the gibbet was being
built. but it was significant that
the blows of the hammers started
only a few hours after the On
tario minister of justice an
nounced he would not intervene
in the scheduled hanging.
The staccato pounding was
clearly audible on the outside OF
the small prison and it must
have been heard, too, by Mrs.
Tilford in her white-walled death
cell, where she awaits the walk
to the gallows.
Last Hanging in 1921
Old residents here said the
hammering also came from the
direction of a coal shed in the
court yard of the Jail, where the
last scaffold for an execution was
erected in 1921.
Mrs, Tilford, sentenced to die
for the poisoning of her husband,
Tyrell, as the outgrowth Of what
the crown contended was her love
for another man, years her junior,
steadfastly has maintained her
Innocence. The "other man." po-
lice said, had no part in the al
legged death plot.

ton from the death cell-Cana-
