 Complete instructions were left and I started out to get help. A Red Cross nurse at Bonfield, Miss Clouthier, was sent to the home.
 appealed to the provincial re- lief officer at North Bay, and he promised to back me in procuring anything needed. I secured from the St. Joseph's Hospital at North Bay the services of Miss Yvonne Leroux, young graduate nurse who has been with the babies from late that afternoon until the present.
 Miss Alma Dionne, sister of Oli- va, also reported ct the home, and when returned there in the af- ternoon, we had the beginnings of an organization to carry on the fight for the babies lives.
 It was late that night before l was able to return to my own home in Callander and resume the sleep that had been interrupted the night before by the arrival of Yvonne, Annette, Emile, Cecile and Marie.

 Father Is Dazed
 The mothers condition was not too bad, everything considered, and went outside to inform Oliva of his good fortune. Somewhat dazed he came into the house and greeted his wife, and then went outside again.
 Since the babies were the small- est I had ever seen, their tiny bodies of 8 dark red color, the skin shiny, and their breathing uncer- tain and irregular, all medical his- tory indicated that their chance of living was slight.
 So I baptized them separately, using drops of warm water from the tea-kettle. I believe Masdames Legros and Labelle also baptized them.
 Suddenly the mother relapsed in- to a condition of shock. There was severe internal hemorrhage des- pite the fact that I had previously given treatment to prevent 1t.
 She gave every appearance of be- ing a dying woman. remained with her some little time until she showed signs of responding to g solution of pituitary and ergot. Her pulse picked up somewhat, though still weak and fast.
 As I was the only one then pres- ent who could drive Q car, I hrr- ried to Corbeil, Q distance of 2 1-2 miles, to get the parish priest, Father Routhier.

I answered 1t, and found Oliva Dionne on the doorstep, highly ex- cited, saying, Mama wants you" or words to that effect.
 
 Neighbor Women Help
 I dressed and got my own car out of the shed behind the house. It was still almost entirely dark. The headlights of the car danced on the rocky and washed-out road to Corbeil, which was then in poor even dangerous, condition.
 But the 2 Ia miles to the Dionne place were quickly covered. There were lights in the windows as I drew up. Mrs. Alex Legros and Mrs. Ben Labelle, neighbor women who had been called in by Oliva before he came for me, were in

but 11-month-old Pauline was cry- ing in her baby carriage. I was told than Dan, the youngest boy, was asleep upstairs and that he had Q cold for which Mrs. Dionne had been treating him. A tea-kettle was boiling on the stove.
 
 Three, Then Two More
 Two babies had been born, and Q third was on the way. I scrubbed up" the best way could, using Q basin, and promptly delivered the third baby, directing the covering and wrapping of the three.
 Two more babies followed, both born within intact amniotic sacs. You could see their arms and legs moving, through the transparent walls of the sacS. It was then about 5 Q. m.
 Mesdames Legros and Labelle were attending to the babies, and when the first three were seen to be whimpering and breathing, I ruptured the sacs that held the last two and they were similarly attended to.
 note that some have been inc clined to assign Q regular order of birth to the babies. If they know that, they know more than I do. All I know is that the three larger babies were born first, the two smaller ones last.
 When the babies had been wrap- ped in remnants of cotton sheeting and old napkins, they were laid on the corner of the bed and covered

Aid for Roosevelt Sought

You will be fairly safe in assum- ing the truth of rumors that the senator already has been approach ed in the interests of the Roosevelt ticket. But counter-pressure is be- ing exerted by the Landon group, which seeks to convince Borah that Landon doesn't represent the re- present the reactionary eastern in- terests which the senators attacks, and offers him @ chance to help write the platform.
 Judging by past performances. he won't desert the party ticket, though many who know him and who have talked with him are more than half-convinced that he will.

Way in the woods wild honeysuckle you spy, Wild iris and dogwood as you pass by. The air is full of heady scents From nlacs lovely behind an old fence, Or sometimes near an old stone wall And hard by the melody of c waterfan,- Then it's nice to unpack picnic kit While you idle and eat and sit and sit. Riding along is pleasant in May; You start out so happy, oh, but sayl The dog is happy with just an old bone, But the kids are bowling for an ice cream cone.

Everybody who
Why 20 touring for sights?

Why go touring for sights?. Everybody who visits Connecticut always wonders why natives fail to in their own state the scenic wonders that they throng to view. .. It's the same the whole world over. :. We blind ourselves to the pleasures and sights at home for distance still lends enchantment But you
 don't have to get out of sight of Waterbury to Nature in all her works and pomps. Take High Rock below Naugatuck for example. A marvellous rock-pile and gorgeous view when you've climbed it. Spruce Glen offers all the rugged and wild scenes you'd want. The Watervile Caves another attraction ignored because they're so to home. And Hancock Glen will be forgotten by any stranger who visits the spot Even the top of Chase Parkway as evening brings forth city lights picture that many men would travel thousands of miles to view.

Discount Breckinridge Vote

Over at Democratic national com- nittee headquarters the boys con- fldently predict that many who have voted for Borah in primaries will cast their ballots for the democratic ticket in November, regardless of what the senator does.
 They're sure this will more than make up for the defections from the party indicated by the primary vote boiled by Henry Breckinridge, who was defeated by Roosevelt 20 to 1 in Maryland, and l6 to in Ohio.
 ROOsevelrs big vote in Ohio tended to quiet the OppositiOnists who read a large and unfav0rable portent into Breckinridge's Mary land vote. The BreckinrIdge vote there can be largely attributed to anti-Ncw Deal sentiment inherit- cd from the late Governor Rltchie and preserved by Senator Tyd- ings; the apathy of the party machine at primary time; and the persistent slashlng attacks on the New Deal by Frank Kent and H. L. Menchen in the Baltimore Sun.
 Maryland may be considered Q doubtful state, but the republicans will have @ Roosevelt 1892 vote of 3l4,000 to 184,000 for Hoover to overturn.

1t until inquiries began to come in the next day.
 It is hard to believe that any such writer is being serious. So perhaps 1t will be worth while to recall the events of that May n1orn- ing of two years ago from my own vivid recollection and the notes which I made soon afterward.
 Of course knew the Dionne family well, having attended menl- bers of 1t from time to time through my 30 years practice in the Cal. lander neighborhood.
 had looked after the births of three of the children of Oliva and Elzire Dionne. So there was nothing surprising when Oliva Di- onne came to my ofiice in Callan- der on May 12, 1884, and reported that his wife was expecting another child and wasn't well.
 He described her symptoms, but didn't think it necessary that I go out to see her. I made up some med- icine in my little dispensary. We country doctors have to be drug gists, too, you know, where drug stores and pharmacists are remote.
 On May 19, Oliva returned with further descriptions of his wife's condition. This time I thought best to go and see her. I insisted on Mrs. Dionne being put to bed, and on help being obtained for the homework.

What'n MT. Rorah Do?

Senator Borah's defeat by old guard Republicans of Ohio proves beyond all question that his cam- paign for the presidential romina- tion is futile, since the popular sup- port which he sought in his war against monopoly" and party boss es just hasn't materialized.
 That means that the issue as to Borah boils down simply to the question whether there is any pos- sibility that the Idaho senator will bolt the party ticket after the con- vention and, if there is, how high price he would demand and how high price the conventions dominating forces would pay to keep him on the reservation.

 Ballot Result.
 Washington May 25-The big win- ner in the republican primaries seems to have been MT. Roosevelt.
 That's because Roosevelt and democratic candidates have been piling up larger votes in various important states than have the republican candidates, particularly in California, Illinois, and Ohio.
 The Ohio primary system is . comparatively scrambled affair, and arbitrary conclusions usually arc not to be drawn there from the bare figures. But informed men who four months ago were saying that the state was lost to the democrats, now concede that Ohio would land in ROosevelts lap # the election were held today, This group includes certain Ohio republican congressman, speaking in their frankly confidential mo. InentS.
 One big factor they cite is that of organized labor. The United Mine Workers have only about 3O,000 members in the state, but labor there is as strong for indus trial unienism as anywhere. This means that most of it's voters will follow the lead of John L. Lewis, who is strong for Roosevelt.
 Furthermore, Ohio experts de- clare, Roosevelt will get the bulk of the Townsend vote and the Coughlin vote.
 Ohio, with 26 electoral votes, is described oftener than any other state as pivotal"
