disappeared. They coo con- tentedly, laugh at any invita- tion to play and frolic. Move ment and exercise seem to be the very essence of life to them. That is as it should be. And the best part is that any mother can have a happy baby if she goes about it right.
 I firmly believe that education should begin the very day a baby is born. believe, too, that the mistakes an adult handling a baby commits are not half as im- portant in their consequences to that adult as to the baby against whom he commits them. There fore our responsibility towards the baby is enormous. An infant represents an important free indi- vidual whose life is all ahead, Our task in education is not to live the baby's life for him nor suppress him to such an extent that he is no longer a free per- son, but to fit him to fight and to live with courage enough to be honest with himself.
 can say with perfect truth that to all of us who had anything to do with the Dionne babies, the babies invariably came first. Whatever happened we tried our level best to shield them from anything that would cause dis turbance in any way to the daily routine and thus be beyond their strength or give a bad habit op- portunity imperceptibly to creep in

Making Baby Help Herself

Sometimes one of the babies would by its own uncontrolled Hvements, fall into position
 might be a little disagree
 . to it at the moment. The child would of course call for help immediately. The impulse was to rush to its assistance pell- mell. But we stopped to think, would 1t not be better to leave the baby alone. to find a way out. as long as the way was not be- yond its own strength? Often watched, and in such cases, think ing it was no use to cry since mo- body seemed to listen, the baby would very soon with little ef- fort and a vigorous squirm be happily kicking again. The next time 1t fell in the same position it would know very we'll how to get out of it, and am sure would have scorned any assistance had I offered 1t.
 Once Cecile was sitting on a soft pink blanket on the floor. It was in the early stages of sitting alone and she was not quite sure of her balance yet. On this occa- sion she fell and hit her head a little on the floor. I knew she was more surprised than hurt but she started to cry, anyway. As she puckered her face, she looked at me. said nothing, only laughed softly at her. The ex- precision of my face and the tone of my laugh inferred that 1t was rather funny to fall like that. It was amazing to watch her express sion change from woe to laughter. Soon she was all smiles too and had forgotten her trouble as if 1t

plation all by oneself of an intri- guing toy or the absorbing obser- vation of a new aspect of pink toe or the practice of squirm or movement.
 The sisters were not over- whelmed with toys or clothes. When we put them down to play. we saw there were five toys, one for each. If one wanted another's toy, we let them settle that to a certain point. They were not hampered in the development of their own little wills or independ- ence. More than once we re- strained our strong desire to pick up one of those enchanting be- ings and press her passionately to our hearts, an impulse that I imagine is very strong in any real woman. But that would have been bad for the baby. We should not let our emotion lead us to en- croaching on the rights of the child. Not that we did not show them we loved them. Those ba- bies were loved and knew it.

nomination, and under 9 per cent of the 2 d. denomination, experts claim that there Is bound to be a severe shortage of complete sets. They say that it Is impossible to supply all stamp collectors with them, in spite of their low nominal value.
 Collectors Tax Ingenuity
 "So few Englishmen will take the trouble to look through waste paper baskets to gather the stamps" explained an official of Dombrey Brothers, one of the leading Jubilee specialists" that we are having to exert every kind of ingenuity to obtain supplies"
 One reason for the popularity of the issue is the Englishman's well-known love of the King and Queen. Hundreds of firms who would ordinarily sell their envel- opes to dealers are refusing to "profit" out of their majesties. A few are giving the proceeds to charities.

London, July 16 (U.P.)-King George and Queen Mary unknow- ingly have presented thousands of charwomen and office boys with Jubilee gifts-money produced by the sale of Jubilee postage stamps extracted from wastepaper bas- kets.
 One billion of these Jubilee stamps were issued. Official fig- | ures, published for the benefit of philatelists, show that the num- bers printed of each denomination were as follows:
 3S0,000,oO0 halfpennys
 140,400,000 pennies
 444,000,000 three halfpennies
 15,600,000 twopence halfpennies
 930,00O,00O
 The balance of 10000, 900 were surcharged for use in the Morroc- an agencies.
 Scarcity Soon Appears
 At first, owing to the huge quan- titles that were issued, there was little competition for the stamps. Soon after merchants here began to accumulate stocks for shipment to all parts of the philatelic world, however, they began to notice that comparatively few of the stamps were obtainable from the public. Almost immediately they rose in value. To-day the 2hd. denomina- tion is practically unobtainab ble in quantities. The penny is difficul. to obtain in great numbers.
 As result of this scarcity. deal- CTS are being forced to exert their ingenuity to induce the public to gather stocks and sell them.
 Garbage Men Join Search
 Thousands of charwomen, office boys, garbage men and janitors, answering hundreds of advertise ments in newspapers, are looking through wate-paper baskets after closing time in big London busi- ness offices. They then sell them to London stamp dealers for a few shillings: The King and Queens unknowing Jubilee gift.
 Some dealers are buying and washing as many as 10000 of these a day. One man has already shipped more than 100000 to the United States alone. Another is shipping abroad at the rate of a 1000 "short sets" (short of the rarer 2hd. value) daily.
 Many Unfit for Sale
 One of the biggest dealers in London says that of the 1000. .000,- 900 stamps issued, less than third will ever reach dealers of which from 50 to 75 per cent will be torn or otherwise damaged and unit for sale. It is estimated that the United States market alone will absorb at least 10,000,000 of them. Germany, Scandinavia, the British Empire, France and Italy competing for quantities varying from 100000 to 5.000,0oo each.

MAGYARS, who find themselves
 A separated by new national boundaries from their native land of Hungary, look to the Holy Crown of St. Stephan as a symbol of hope and ultimate reunion. This unique royal headgear really con. sists of two crowns. The upper part was presented by Pope Syi. vester II to St. Stephan, first king of Hungary. in 1000 A. D.. in rec. ognition of Stephan's efforts to bring the various tribes that made up the Hungarians under the pale. of Christianity.
 Later. King Geza I. one of St. Stephan's successors. received the lower part as 8 separate crown from Michael Dukas, emperor Of Byzantium. symbolizing recognition by the east of the cultural efforts of Hungary. Both crowns later were welded into one, a beautiful emblem studded with pearls. rubies and sapphires. and with symbolic paintings surrounding the life of the Magyars.
 Today the Hungarians see this crown only in the stamps that they use, as shown here, for the country now is under republican rule.

Babies Weaned Slowly

The weaning of a baby is con- sidered a very difficult and dan gerous period of its life. If any, body asked me: when did you wean your babies would an- swer: we weaned our babies all the time, if by weaning you mean changing diet and mealtimes un- til we arrived finally at the ordi- nary three meals a day with ordi- nary food. Our babies were weaned very gradually indeed with the exception of the change from mothers milk to cows milk which was rather abrupt. That was be- cause when they were five months old, the supply came to an end.
 Their milk was collected, you see, from mothers all over Toronto by members of the Junior League, brought to the Sick Childrens' Hos- pital in Toronto where it was pro- perly bottled and sterilized and fi- nally sent by train to Callander in wooden boxes we'll packed with ice around each bottle.

Quick Change in Diet

During the last month or so they were on this diet, the babies need ed almost gallon every twenty four hours of this precious food. When you consider that one moth- CT scarcely could produce more than five or six ounces of milk, you can see what gigantic task this collecting of mothers milk for the quintuplets really was. Before the milk began to come from Toronto, some had been supplied by Dr. Herman Bundesen of Chicago and by the Red CrossJ nurse of the dis trict, Miss Clouthier, who went about among her nursing mothers to collect what she could. Amongst all the different factors that con- tributed to the saving of the Di- onne babies lives, I consider their being kept for so many months on mothers milk one of the most im- portant.
 But, as I have said, when they were five months old, the supply came to an end. Ordinarily a month is needed to accustom Q baby to giving up mothers milk.

 Living Five Years In Twelve Months
Health And HappmessOne Follows Another, Says Nurse
 Who Helped To Achieve Both For Five Little Dionnes

We did it by necessity with our five in week. That we had so little trouble with them in spite of such a sudden break, shows, think, that our babies, even talk ing into account their recent re- covery from the most serious ill- ness of their lives, had built up a good resistance and hardness.
 I do not think the babies ever knew they were being weaned. As matter of fact, at the early age of five months they thought it great fun to lap up orange juice from a small glass instead of a spoon, to dr0ol all over ones bib and make funny bubbling noises. So when the moment came for them to discard the r6pple and bot tie and drink all their milk and water out of glasses, it was nothing new to them. They already knew how. To start eating vegetable pulp, fruits and porridge was near ly as funny.

Start of Bad Habits

Formation of bad habits is often the result of cowardice or laziness on the part of parent or nurse. It is too much trouble or too fright ening to do the right things. Our daily routine was worked out in all its details to make our babies not only as healthy but also as happy as possible. It was changed cautiously and gradually as the babies growth, development and general condition warranted. It was changed, too, when the indi- vidual situation demanded 1t.
 The babies were never looked upon by us as quintuplets in the mass. Each one was the little person, Marie, Emelie, Cecile, Annette or Yvonne and to be spe- cially treated as such. The babies were never molly-coddled by too rigid holding to a daily schedule. Our order of the day was fresh and wholesome. There was time for vigorous and exhilarating play, for loving gentleness, for relaxing rest, for quiet contem-

Swope has sons occupying im- portant jobs with the Resettele- ment administration and the SEC. Straus has a son with Resettle- ment. If you looked around enough, you'd find quite a few sons of millionaires posted here and there in New Deal ranks.
 None of Roosevelt's millionaire friends has walked out on him since he called for a "soak-the- rich" tax program. Some of them deplore few of his tendencies, but cling to his leadership.
 Republicans, meanwhile, con- tinue to moan that they aren't getting any money. Their old friends seem to be giving it all to the American Liberty league.

Taste spurred Learning to Eat

The idea of having something that was pity because, while dif- ferent from milk, 1t tasted good. So next day or the next meal the baby tried again and had good taste of the new thing before she started to play with it, at which time 1t was invariably taken quietly away.
 At first the babies, as I have said, were fed every two hours. Then the meals were put half an hour forward, then three hours. then four. Over a long period the sisters had eight meals a day at four-hour intevals. As they grew in strength they started to forget to wake up for eating at two o'clock at night. So that meal was cut out, and if a baby did wake up she had water instead which was just as good since she was only thirsty, anyway.
 The mealtimes were drawn still farther apart in the daytime and the babies were allowed to sleep through the ten o'clock glass of milk in the evening. By the time they were ten months old they were happily eating everything except meat, using a spoon and drinking out of glasses in perfect style. Their little bodies had adapted themselves to three meals day with only orange juice and ccd liver oil between meals. That the babies were being weaned could only be noticed on the weight curves. These did not point quite as steeply upwards as usual for month or two. But that was as it should be with any normal healthy baby.
 NOTE: How babies everywhere can have the care and handling that brought the Dionne quintu- plets to health and happiness.

More Governor Grie f

The administration continues to have trouble with it's island gov- ernors. Bob Gore had to resign the Puerto Rican governorship af- ter series of jams. Paul Pearson. whose troubles are largely due to his status as a Hoover holdover. will resign from the Virgin Islands. Lately, rumbles of criticism are heard as to that amiable gentle- man now governor of Puerto Rico, Gen. Blanton Winship.
 The Roosevelt tendency to make little ones out of big ones," as evidenced by his holding company bill and graduated corporation tax proposal, is manifesting itself in Puerto Rico. The rehabilitation plan calls for enforcement of an old congressional law limiting land ownership by sugar corporations to 500 acres. V
 Corporations have ignored the law and now own most of the is- lands good soil. An enforcement law by the Puerto Rican legisla- ture is desired by the administra- tion.

 Washington, July 19-Not all the wealthier citizens of this country will slam the door when the demo- crats pass the hat for the next campaign fund.
 You were reminded that Mir. Roosevelt hadn't scared all the 'angels'' out of the party when Anthony J. Drexel Riddle, Jr., of Philadelphia was named minister to Norway. MT. Riddle is some- times called "the Riddle of the Biddles'' and is reported to have tossed in more than $100,000 for state or national campaign chests at one time or another.
 Other millionaires among a fair ly large group expected by demo- cratic politicians to contribute next year are Gerard Swope, Vincent Astor, Ambassador Jesse Straus at Paris, and Averill Hartman, who has been working at MIRA.
 New Dealers recognize the need of such men in the party fold, whether they are attracted because they like to be close to those in power or whether, as it is describ- ed, they are more enlightened" than most others on their class.
