to me, because how do they build
the first one?
AS near as 1 could get it, this
dam, only there will be 10 when
they get through, or so they told
me, all scattered around from
Grand Coulee to Bonneville, in
Oregon = anyway, all this viii
cost 1878, 100000, or maybe "it
was 1878, 900, 900, 900, and it will
back up lot of water which will
be sold to the farmers around and
about to take the place of rain,
and some of it will be changed
into electricity and sold to the
farmers that way, and in 40
years, if the farmers live that
long, they will have paid for the
whole thing, SO it won't cost the
government and the taxpayer
anything, like pulling rabbits out
of hat and selling them to
butcher.
But about this thermite. When
l got to Bonneville. Ore, one and
all were worried about all this
ice, and were afraid it would melt
all at once and knock their new
dam down or something, so one
morning they went out and piled
some aluminium and old iron, cut
up small, on this ice. Naturally
this made me curious, and would
anybody, so l said to man, what
are they doing, and he said, as
follows:
This is called the thernite
process. They are going to light
that stuff, and it will melt
through this ice like a hot knife
through butter" Well, everybody
knows iron and aluminium won't
burn, so I thought to myself as
follows: What a liar you are.
And this must have shown in
my face, which is honest, or so l
am told, because this man then
said like this: 81 don't think you
believe me-" and while l did not
wish to hurt his feelings, I had to
say he was right, so he said: II
will bet you two bits it works
like I said" and so did.
OF course, if had known this
man was one of these army en-
gineers, only not in his uniform,
I wouldn't have bet any way, be-
cause after man fooled around
with this stuff awhile, what did
it do but up and sizzle right
through the ice, and send up a
cloud of steam, and the ice
cracked and rumbled all around
and about, and forked over the
two bits, which, as you may
know, is rs cents, and quite lot
of money at that.
And after that I came home.

On account of the coincidence
of planetary positions, many in
dications are applicable to all five
children. They were born at that
period of the year MAY 21 to
June 21) when the Sun is in Ge-
mini, whose symbol is the Twins.
More multiple births occur at this
period of the year than at other
times. DIR. Dafoe, who rose to
fame through his association with
the quintuplets. was also born
with his Sun in Gemini.
All the sisters are endowed
with extremely good minds, alert,
original, versatile and progress
sive. The position of their Mer-
curry, which rules the mental fac
ulties. indicates writing ability
and gain from writing, speaking
and travelling. Movie careers are
shown as important among the
bewildering variety of occupa-
tions which will claim them. They
will have at least fifty irons in
the fire and like nothing better
than constant change, novelty,
and diversity of interests.
They will be gay and witty,
keenly intellectual but never los
ing that appealing charm which
has already captivated the world.
An important part of their lives
will be spent in the United States.
THE quintuplets were born on
full-moon day, an indication of
ability to attract great publicity.
In spite of this influence, how
ever, there are astrological as
poets in their horoscopes which
show certain confinement or iso-
lation in their lives. Spending

arranged for tragedy anyway, the
Chinese crew decided the best
place for them was somewhere
else
Capt. Swanson broke rule
then, for the first and last time
in his life. He left the bridge and
did a little persuading, what with
words and maybe a fist or two
and presently the coolie crew de-
cided they'd better stay aboard
and help. Yes, the tanker got to
port. "Old Genuine" admitted,
under pressure, that it looked
like a mess for awhile"
rVEN boarding a pitching ship
in mid-stream, almost a daily
duty, can hold it's share of excite
ment, as witness that dismal day
when the captain and his two
seamen approached the lee of a
German ship to pilot her. in. The
ship backed away suddenly; a
wave upset the captains yawl-
and Capt. Swanson found him
self and his two sailors thorough
ly in the middle of a wet and
cold ocean. 1t was 40 minutes
before they finally managed to
get aboard, and while the captain
apparently didn't mind little
deep-sea swimming, his crew
thought differently and resigned.
To old hands aboard ships and
to veteran travellers, the figure of
Capt. Swanson coming up the
ladder is a familiar one. Since he

And I did learn some facts,
particularly about this thermite,
which is not one of these little
bugs that eats your house down
behind your back and before you
know it you are sitting in the
cellar in a cloud of dust, but
something else entirely, and will
explain. But first perhaps had
better begin at the beginning, as
follows:

anyway, wishing to watch my
money spent, I went up to the
Columbia River, which is in Ore
gon mostly. I must admit there
was a lot of work being done
up there for the taxes I pay, al
though on account of the ice
everybody seemed a little ner-
vous. But the air was just a haze
of steam shovels opening their
ugly mouths and biting up the
dirt. and there were lot of dams
around, which it seems hold the

What you might wish to know
is that my opinion on better
babies came somewhat from my
own experience. My husbands
family and mine were of pioneer
stock. My childhood home was
Montana. My older child was typi-
cal of both our families, a large,
healthy baby weighing eight and
one-half pounds. The little one

statement by Arrigi Solmi, minister of justice, denying as ridiculous any report that the judicial system was to be changed and pointing out that the system had been reorgaani2ed completely on e Fascist basis in 1880.
 The courts had been nationali2ed long ago, Solmi said, and the law yers also had been nationalized to certain extent because they were incorporated In the lawyers syndi- cate. No other reform was con templated. he said. He added that 1t was silly to talk of abolishing juries because there had been no juries since 1880 except in courts of Assize, where no chance was in prospect.
 The new penal code of 1880, Sol- mi recalled, abolished juries and es- abolished judges who are assisted by an advisory board. which Is select cd from state employees and compe" tent civilian experts. This system. he said. had given the greatest satisfaction. The only change at all which authorities contemplated. he said, was alteration of the pro- cedure as regards adjournment of civil cases. so as to speed settlement of civil disputes. Other officials spoke similarly. They suggested that some confusion may have aris- en from reform instituted somo months ago by which technical ad- vlscrs were appointed from Fascist corporations Co assist tudeeA
