THE QUINTUPLETS BROTHER

We can't help pitying the little broth
er, born the other day, of the famous
Dionne Quintuplets Whereas the re-
nowned quintet has fortune already at
their feet and can be expected to benefit
from it the rest of their days, the newly
arrived baby has nothing to pave his
way through life.
That the new arrival has ample broth
ers and sisters not in the same wealth
class as the quints only distributes the
pity among the bunch of them who were,
unluckily, born according to the regular
rules and regulations.
1t may be observed, however, that
often blessings come in disguise and
who knows but the pampered quintu
plets will end up spoiled and unhappy,
and the ruggedly individualistic children
will rise to heights of happiness and ac-
compliShment undreamed of.

a pronounced aversion to paying

part of the world where food and
lodging were free and he cannot
accustom himself to better regu-

literary success, when he came to
New York, he would try to arrange
to exchange advertising copy for
his room. Or he would do publicity
work or dash off a booklet. When
he became a little more affluent, he
would pay grudgingly and insist on
taking the least expensive room in
the house Recently, however, he
appears to have broken the penur-

1T is feeling too remote from your

THEORY DOESN'T FIT?

Peek said in a speech few days ago in Philadelphia that the theory was not bad, but that it did not fit the conditions. In the first place, he asserted America is losing her position as creditor and the Administration has refrained from making any particular effort to collect what is due us on public and private debts"
 Instead of buying American goods, Peek said, European inves- tors are buying American securities to regain creditor relationship.
 He comedies he has to present a rather involved argument.
 Recently Hull defended his pro- gram before the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States and was encouraged by an indorsing resolution with a peek-like hook on it which recommended that the program be operated so as not to bring in products competing with American agriculture.
