tention Of campaigning for birth
control.
The Timlecks-remember there
are 16 in the family-reSide in a
huge, rambling, old fashioned
house which has IL high-ceilmged
rooms. The place is described by
Mrs. Timleck as wonderful and
cool in the summer time, but
br-r.r! practically impossible to
heat when winter comes"
Boards a Friend
There is plenty of room for
everyone. And when a friend OF
Mrs. Timleck was recently WI
dowed, left without funds and
with q baby on her hands, Mrs.
Timleck invited her to come and
live at my house." She gives her
room and board free and even
pays her a couple Of dollars
week to help with the housework.
Timleck. a blond, jolly giant
of q man, is a good prcvider for
his family. He is an expert
marine mechanic-haSn't missed
a days work in yearS--and gives
his family every possible comfort
ho can afford. He owns and
operates a huge Seven-paSSenger
sedan, vintage of 1927, which
has been freshly painted a robins
egg blue, and which is so Shined
and tuned up that one could
easily mistake it for 8 newly-de-
signed next years model, just
out. When he takes his family
for an outing in the machine
most of them can squeeze in
it looks for all the world like
Sunday school picnic - getting
under way.
Feeds scientifically
The problem of feeding a large
family has been studied by Mrs.
Timleck from scientific stand
calories, vitamins and all
that-with the result that she

Mrs. Madeleine Harrison, S8,
mother Of IA children, goes Mrs.
Timleck one better when it comes
to pairing down that budget.
YoungiSh-looking, smart in ap-
pearance, she has a mouth full
Of even white teeth that put to

tisement. She has the spending
