Treading New Path

rnembered is this: the exact Situa- ton we have here has never been duplicated in medical history. While 1t is true that we have the best child training advice that 1t is pos- sible to get, through the University of Toronto, and while we are def- initely doing no experimenting With the children, it is also true that we can not always act from precedent
 We have to do what seems best at the time in the face of a par ticular situation. There aren't any precedents. We have to make our own rules as we go, in the light of the best experience we can gather, for we are treading an unbroken path for every additional day and week and year of the quintuplets precious lives.
 Our all-absorbing task has been that of providing for normal lives for the children just so far as their extraordinary circumstances permit. and getting them started in life in such way as will give them the best chance to make the most of themselves. But the guardians have been happy in the thought that per- haps the individual interest in the little girls up here has brought bet ter and more intelligent care to many other babies throughout the Americas. The newspapers have been great help in this respect.

Os De EsS Nls Os Copyright, 1886, NEA Service) Progress of the Dionne quintu- plets is well illustrated by this sim pie fact: they don't need as much sleep as they formerly did. Babies spend most of their time slumber- ing, but as the child grows in age and strength, 1t needs less sleep.
 The sleep period between 8:30 and Il in the morning is gradually being merged into a longer play period, and by midsummer the children will be staying awake from the hour when they awaken naturally, about 6 a. m., until 1 p. m.
 The Daily Routine
 A day with the quintuplets now runs about like this:
 They wake without being called or aroused about 6 8. m. After their orange juice and codliver oil "cock- tail," they frolic in their play-pens until 2. Then, after they are weighed and the nurses have had their own breakfasts, come the first of the two daily baths. The chil- dren are bathed two at time in full-sized tub.
 Following the bath comes the op- portunity to exercise natural func- tions, which have become very reg ularized through training.
 Now comes breakfast: bread and butter, coddled eggs, milk (evapor- ated or pasteurized), biscuits or crackers. ... After breakfast came until re- gently the morning nap, now being converted into @ play period. Dur ing the last winter the nap gradu- ally was "eaten into" by the popu- larity of tobogganing. That wasn't, perhaps, as breakneck as 1t sounds. With the five little girls in their snow suits on the toboggan as the nurses pulled them about the yard, there was rare sport to be had, at that.
 Sometimes they would spill out in the snow, and scramble about and enjoy it, laughing and scream ing with joy.
 But about II a. m. in they come, to play on the nursery floor with their toys.
 Like Simple Toys
 I hope I'm not revealing a secret when I say that the very favorite playthings of the little girls in the earlier days were clothespinsl A great many expensive and highly complicated toys are received at the nursery, but the children's prefer ence is almost always for the sim- pie ones.
 About noon comes the midday meal. Soups, fruits (canned and fresh), macerated (ground or strained) vegetables, particularly carrots and spinach, are their fa- vorite foods.

 At 5:30 the bath is repeated, and at 6:30 comes supper: fruits, por- ridge, bananas, and perhaps once a

washington, May 10 - The ad- ministration's attempt to solve It's Puerto Rican problem appears to have misflred both barrels.
 The Tydings independence bill has merely stirred up revolution. ary spirit which is likely to cause many New Deal headaches. An ad. ministration effort to amend the measure may be expected.
 There's reason to believe that the terms of the bill, which Puerto Ricans say sentences them to rap- i'd starvation if they vote for inde- pendence, were conceived here with certain amount of bitterness --or out of plain stupidity. The tactics adopted quickly pore fruit in kind.
 What started the Puerto Ricans' protest was the bill's provisions that if they voted for Independence there would be four-year transi- ton period in which Puerto Rico wouldn't have the sovereignty she would need to organize her affairs; that loans and grants from this country under the 436, 900 Puerto Rican reconstruction ad- ministration would stop at once; and that Q tariff would be placed on Puerto Rican products imne- diately.

These are the days. .. When you recall twenty and thirty years ago. There wasn't handful of hard surfaced streets in the town. The others lay dusty and bumpy in the spring sunlight It wasn't unusual the late afternoon Strings of horses were being led along side streets to avoid the trolley Little girls would be seen with huge punches of volets gathered along the numerous brooks that threaded the citys byways An occasional grass snake would frantically make for gang of youngsters chased 1t with sticks and stones. The boy who knew all the names of the wdowers and where they grew was the center of attraction until the afternoon game of scrub Of 'one-o'-cat" was started The shrill shouts Of the boys in the corner lot until senced by the appearance of a stalwart guardian of the law.

Viewed as Threat

This administration proposal fol- lowed by some weeks the asSasSina- ton of Col. E. Francis Riggs American police chief on the is- land, by followers of Albizu Cam pos, leader of the radical national- ist independence party.
 OfIlclals here had been sore be. cause not . single public man in Puerto Rico was willing to make Q formal statement as to the Riggs murder--not even one of regret.
 The explanation of some Puerto Rlcan leaders was that such Q statement would cause them to lose influence with the independ. ence factor.
 Terms of the Tydings bill caused many Puerto Rlcans to regard 1t as Q shotgun threat, an effort to make them choose between 0 continued colonial status and starvation. A great surge of independence feel. ing consequently swept over the is- land, 1t Is said, and 50 many whc had previously opposed independ. ence swung over that 1t came to bt predicted that even freedom as pro. vided by the Tydings bill would wir by 10 to in Q plebiScite.
 Helps Island Leader
 Strangely enough, 1t Is said iy Washington that the administration figured the independence offel would have Q good effect on th' Latin American republics in cd vance of the Pan.American confer ence.
 Propaganda glorlfylng Albixu Campos has been spread In Cen. traI and South America and the independence offer would have an excellent antldote had it been we'll handled.
 But, here again, the effect has been the opposite of that intend- cd and Alblxu, who led but . tiny group of actual followers, Is re. ported to have been considerably strengthened.
 Matters are likely to so from bat to worse unless at least one house of congress passes Q Puerto Ricar independence bill radically amend ed. Chances are that this admins tration will go to great lengths--a' least in gesture-to avoid further violence on the island this year. Islanders Are Blamed
 Onicials impatient with tn Puerto Ricans, however, point ou that the degeneration of the tslant under American rule-often attrib uted solely to exploitation by Amer ican sugar corporations, which hay skinned $400, ,000, 900 away from i lis largely attributed to Puert Ricans themselves.
 Puerto Rlcans, they contend, should have seen t0 the enforce. ment of the congressional act of 1900 which limited ownership of land to 800 acres, instead of ale lowing the corporations to buy up most of the good land and thus creating 3 major island problem. The other big problem Is the big, rising birth rate-and the same officials say that's the fault of Puerto Rlcans, who won't keep
 the birth rate down.
 On the surface, 1t appears tha Americans and Puerto Ricans hay collaborated in getting the islan' into such shape that independenc without Q great deal of attendan wet-nursing would mean chaos. l Copyright, 1886, NEA 6erice, Inc.
