TWINS, 8, LOST FOR
II HOURS IN SWAMP,
WORRY ABOUT SCHOOL

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25-John
and Margaret Miller, 8-year-old
twins, started worrying for fear
they would be late to school al
most as soon as they were re-
turned home safe today after be-
ing lost II hours in a Maryland
swamp not far from the district
line.
Hundreds of police, CCC work.
erS and citizens had hunted for
the children after they disap-
peared yesterday afternoon near
large bog in Prince Georges Coun-
ty, Maryland.
The youngsters were located
unframed today by officer Claude
Reese of the Prince Georges
County force, who found them
walking up the Washington-Balti-
more pike, eight miles from the
capital.

A NY story of the quintuplets'
L n routine would be incomplete
without mention of the man who
takes their pictures for the news
papers.
Fred Davis is the official pho
tographer. His lives in Toronto,
and it is his pleasurable duty to
run up to Callander every so
often for several days of shutter
swapping in the Dafoe hospital
nursery.
Fred has been with the quins,
off and on, since their birth. He
knows most of the NATIVES DOW,
and has the confidence of DR.. Da-
foe, the nurses, and the guardians
to such an extent that the idea of
a substitute for him probably
would precipitate war.
He's such an old hand in the
nursery that he knows almost as
much about handling the babies
as the nurses themselves. The
when he's around and are always
on their best behavior. And any
one who has seen the pictures he
makes will have to admit that he
is something of a genius with a
camera and a flash bulb.
Fred is versatile, too. At enc
of the strangeSt movie previeWS
that any one ever witnessed,
saw him operate a protector. For
an amateur, he did a good job.
The movie was exhibited in the
little hospital on the eve of the
departure of Olivia and Elzire
Dionne for the United States. The
film was privately made and will
not be exhibited publicly.
1t now belongs to DR.. Allan Roy
Dafoe, and it is a record, from
their birth to fairly recent date,
of the quintuplets.
TINE main point Of this anec-
l. dote, however, is that Olivia
and Elzire Dionne, who had not
yet seen their babies on the screen,
we're the honor guests at this
party, which included nurses,
housekeeper, Lios Legros (the hos
pital orderly, and Father Nc
Nally, priest of Corbeil parish; and
that they sat through the entire
two reels without showing any of
the usual signs of parental pride
without, in fact, even smiling.
1t was plain to an outside OBJ
server that the parents are jealous
of all the attention which is being
showered on the quintuplets and
has left them comparatively ig-
nored.
Not that one can blame them
exactly, either. But perhaps their
trip to Chicago and their taste
of big city splendors will help
to erase any notion they may have
had that the world was holding
out on them.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-02-25

tie, naturally, is little Yvonne, her
namesake. Patricia Mullin, the
relief nurse, is a Dit partial to
Marie, and you gather that this
is the Irish big-heartedness in Pat
championing the cause of the
weakest.
Madam de Kiriline finds it DIFF
ficult to name a favorite, but you
find in the course of her CONVERSE
ton that she has a weakness for
the scrappy Annette.
Among the items of interest
that impress the fumbling layman
in an inspection of the hospital
layout are such gadgets as nip
Piles that screw on the bottles in
stead of stretching over them;
screW-caps of hard rubber which
displace such old-faShiOned things
as corks; two kinds of high chairs
for each quintuplet, and an assort-
ment of beds, playpens, buggieS,
and other accessories that would
knock your eye out.
NURSE PAT MULLIN allowed
' me 10 inspect the babies
locker, a veritable treasure chest
of gifts. An inventory would be
longer than your arm, but it may
be said that in the matter of
dresses, jewelry, booties q believe
they call them, and even little
dressing gowns, the quintuplets
are all set for some time to come.
The h0usekeeper, Laurence
Clusiaux, says there are $50 pieces
of laundry each day for the
babies.
And 80 Of these are diapers.
But" she adds, diapers are
used in more ways than one"
1t may he well at this point to
inform mothers at large that in
the matter of diaper technique
the modern four-Square method is
used, as opposed to the older
three cornered system.
In the latter, you remember Cor
do youO, you fold the diaper
from northeast to southwest,
forming a triangle, the apex of
which points toward the baby's
feet. The oUher two ends are then
drawn together about the victims
middle, the apex is drawn up to
meet them, and all three are tri-
umphantly fastened together with
one safety pin.
The four square method, as
practiced at the Dafoe hospital,
eliminates the triangle, but re-
quireS two safety pins.
Both systems, as in bridge, have
their staunch adherents, with the
modern vote apparently going
along with the five little sisters Of
Corbeil.

WALKER BROKE,
He CLAIMS AT
DEBT HEARING
Proves | Didn't Get Rich
in Office Former
Mayor Says.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
LONDON, Feb 25.-Former Mayor
James j. Walker of New York, once
a noted spender, dresser and bon
vivant. admitted in chancery court
today that he is broke and can not
pay his bills.
Walker testified that his income is
sos week from newspaper writ
ing, of which 40 per cent goes to a
collaboration on projected book;
that he is living with his wife and
her mother in the latterS house,
and that his wife, the former Betty
Compton, paid for their recent trip
to Spain.
Walker was summoned regarding
two debts.
Mrs. Walker was not present at
the hearing. The former mayor teS-
titled that he now is living with his
wife and mother-in-law in the lat
ter's home.
Did you a short time ago cruise
to Spain with your present wlte?'
Walker was asked.
Wife Paid for Trip
at was not cruise" Walker re-
piled. Il went to Spain with Mrs.
Walker because of her health"
Who paid for that trip?"
Mrs. Walker bought the tickets
and paid the expense"
Walker told the United Press to-
day he took satisfaction at least in
confounding those who had limited
that he was a political morey grab
Der while in office.
Despite the obvious humiliation
of today's hearing on his debts i1
chancery, he chuckled at what he
considered automatic refutation of
the insinuation that he was a po-
litical racketeer.
where is all this money I was
supposed to have made in politics?"
he asked II will gladly split it
with anybody who finds it, because
We need it badly"
Salary Was $4,000
"How does it feel to be broke?" he
was asked.
why, hell" he replied, Il am
broke and have been for two years.
Otherwise, I would not hesitate to
pay my bills Che referred to those
incurred on behalf of his former
wife,, even though 1 consider 1 am
not legally or morally responsible
for them, inasmuch as when I was
making $4,000 a year, paid my
former wife $4,000. That is surely
enough to cover the necessaries of
life which a husband is legally and
morally bound to provide.
1T is strange that they never
asked my consent for my former
wife to contract all these bills, al
though they knew we we're living
apart.
Furthermore, they never even
sent me the bills and never asked
me to pay them while was in New
York. The first thing I knew about
them was when I was lying sick on
the Riviera, where they obtained
judgment by default. Thus they did
not even give me a chance to de-
fend myself"

~ALLANDER, Ont. Feb. Is
~ Trying TO define the sep
arate characters of five eight
month old babies is somewhat of
a task. but Louise de Kiriline,
head nurse at Dafoe Hospital,
where the Dionne quintuplets
are quartered. is at least brave
enough to make a stab at it.
You have read, perhaps, that
the babies have begun to de-
velQp personalities. Very good.
But what are they?
It's not easy, said Madam de
Kiriline every one calls her
Madam to put it into words, but
this will give you an idea:
Annette is the mischief maker,
always looking for scrap;
Yvonne has developed vain little
mannerisms and bids fair to be
a coquette; Marie, says Madam
de Kiriline, is the Madonna"
more ethereal than her heavier and
stronger sisters; Cecile is very
gOOd-natured and puts up with
a lot, especially from Annette;
Emile is harder to define, but,
with certain differences. she
seems to be following Annette's
bent for mischief.

MONTHLY AMORTIZATION
POPULAR IN BUSINESS
Presidential Reports Demand for
Long-Term Mortgage Plan
Is Spreading.

The experience Of the Prudential
Life Insurance Co. Of America in
making lone-term mortgages during
the last few months reveals, declares
Norman Lemcke. company official,
that this type of mortgage with its
monthly payment plan is becoming
increasingly popular. not only with
home owners but with owners Of COM
mercial property.
with the advent of renewed build
ing activity and real estate financing,
many mortgage institutions are re-
porting a steadily growing demand for
long-term installment loans" he
states. "In many cases they expect
in the near future that IS per cent Of
the mortgages in their portfolios will
provide for monthly payments which
will liquidate the loan over period
of from Is to 20 years. Although the
monthly installment loan is not actu-
ally new. its popularity has developed
largely in recent years.
Public demand for this type Of
loan is due, primarily, to the reduced
COSTS"
