Girls Born Same
Day to Sisters

Hutchinson Condolences seem to
run in the Henry Baumetz family, at
least when it comes to births. On
Tuesday of last week two of the girls
gave birth to children and both in
fants were girls. Not only that, but
eight years ago two other girls of the
family had babies on the same day,
at that time both were boys. March
Is, baby girls were born to MIR. and
Mrs. Alton Peterson of Mortified and
to Mr.. and Mrs. Elmon Filkins of Hut
Crimson, the women being sisters. Eight
years ago it was the same, when Mr..
and Mrs. Jack Silker, now of Park
Falls, Wisconsin, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Albert Weissenberger, now of Spring
Valley, Illinois, became the parents of
boys on the same day. The mothers in
each case are daughters of the Baumetz
family.

The "GaIlery Gods"

In the old days, the ceiling of the
Drury Lane theater, London, was
painted to represent a blue sky with
clouds and with the conventional
cupids and cherubs. Since the cell
ing extended over those seated in
the gallery, such occupants were
said to be "among the gods" Sub
sequently, 'the gods" or gallery
gods" came to mean those who &C.
cupied the uppermost seats in any
theater.

WHAT KIND OF CHILDREN
no WE WANT?

Tim is surely old enough so that he
ought to remember to wash his hands
without being told!" ST told Peter he'd
have to stay in the house if he got his
clothes so muddy again." Mary, will
you please stop playing the piano so
lound! My ears are fairly singing!"
Sometimes when 1 hear such remarks
being made to or about children, I get
to wondering what kind of children we'd
really like to have. Those we do have
come so very far from being able to
suit us! They're noisy, and dirty, over
active and excitable; they either play
too much or not enough; they wake up
too early in the morning, and don't
want to go to bed at night. They either
grow too fast for their clothes, so that
We have to keep buying new ones, or
they wear them out so quickley we can't
keep up with the mending. They bring
the wrong friends home, or don't bring
any at all. They are forgetful, imper-
tinent, inattentive and careless. Alto
gether, a pretty bad lot!

think so. But I wonder if we'd like
them half as well if they were diff
ferent? I have a suspicion that if they
should suddenly develop into little par
agons of perfection, we'd not be half
pleased.
Suppose they suddenly turned man
nerly and sedate, always polite, always
clean, never romping with the dog and
raising all the dust in the rugs. Sup
pose they never dubbed over with
chatter at the table, talking with their
mouths full, and gulping their milk, in
their haste to tell us how Tommy
Tubbs' followed a rabbit into the cul-
Ivert and had to be pulled out back
wards.
Suppose they never had rumpled hail
that needed patting into place ex-
cuse for kiss or quick hug. Suppose
they never had a banged-up knee, thai
meant they had to stay quiet, and gave
an opportunity for little stray chats thai
turned into confidence. Suppose they
never got cross and tired, so that tht
roll being called, the same was adopted
by the following vote:

Subsea Canyons Clue
Found in Great Lakes

Urbana, Ill.--Ice-carved lake -ba-
sins in North America and Europe
may supply clues that will solve
the problem of the subsea canyons
which have excited the interest of
biologists recently. In reviewing
the evidence of ice-cutting of the
basins of the Great Lakes and other
lake basins, DR.. Francis p. Shen-
ard University of Illinois geologist,
points out that an average thick
ness of the continental ice of four
miles or more during the most re-
cent glacial period would account
for both the cutting OF the deep
lake basins in the northern parts of
Europe and America and a lower
ing of sea level sufficient to ac-
count for the submerged canyons.
Supporting the theory that the ba-
sins of the Great Lakes were large
ly cut out by glacial ice, DIR. Shep-
ard cites the evidence of large
amounts of fresh rock piled on the
southern shores of the lakes. The
ice came from the north, and the
rock almost certainly came from
somewhere in the present lake ba-
sins.

Don't Talk So Loud When
Speaking to. the Deaf

Iowa City, Iowa. Deaf people do
not enjoy loud talk.
When allowed to adjust the loud
ness of the voice to which they are
listening, individuals with normal
ears prefer to have it 80 decibles,
or loudness units, above the level
at which it is audible. Hard-of
hearing persons will adjust the same
speech at loudness only % to 20
decibles above their threshold of
hearing. This was discovered In ex-
periments at the University Of Iowa
by DR.. Noble II. Kelley.
Deaf ears function differently
from normal ears, DR.. Kelley found.
In speaking to those with normal
hearing you will have most difficulty
in making your consonant sounds
understood; vowel sounds are most
ineligible. For the deafened, the
consonants are recognized practical
Nv as easily as the novels.

"A survey is to be made of the
highway east to the Montana line
with a view of widening the high
way and partial construction. There
is a great deal Of local sentiment
in favor of having this highway
brought to standard and oiled. 1t is
understood that a preliminary sur
vey on this road calls for the
abandonment of the present grade
and bridge crossing in the Moyie
canyon, the new crossing to be
made at a point several miles up
the river"

Early Mans Relics
Found In Brittany
by Two Scientists

Paris.-Traces of early mans
existence have turned up in a
new part of the world-Brit-
tany, that upper left-hand cor
ner of France that is washed
by the English channel on the
north and the Atlantic ocean on
the west.
Evidence that prehistoric human
beings lived or visited in this re-
gion, in the days when crude stone
tools were mans most typical ham
diwork, is beginning to come to
light.
The first discovery, made recent
ly, consisted of such tools, some
about 10000 years old, others per-
haps 60,000
These blasted the theory that hui
man beings never reached this part
of Europe in their Wanderings un-
I'll the New Stone age, a mere 5000
years ago.
Now two French psychologists,
M. and Nine. St. Just Pequart,
have searched small islands off the
Brittany coast, where prehistoric
mans relics, if any, would escape
the destruction wrought by farm
ing and other activities Of civiliza-
ton.
Camping Ground Found.
On one barren islet called Teviec
they have found what they wanted.
II is a camping ground where pre-
historic men lived, and buried their
dead. These people were not so
ancient as the ones whose stone
tools were found on the Brittany
mainland. They lived in the Meso-
lithic, or Middle Stone, age. sand
WICKED between the Old Stone age
and the New, making them perhaps
$4,000 years old.
The French Psychologists found
quantities of the kitchen refuse of
these Middle Stone age people, in
GLIDING the bones OF animals they
ate, shells, fragments of broken pot
terry dishes. Their flint implements
have also come to light. They left
no trace of houses, and probably
lived in tents.

Ranch Home Burns.

The house on the II. A. Joughin
ranch south of Libby burned Sat-
urday morning, with the loss of
practically the entire contents. The
building burned SO rapidly that very
little could be saved. The loss is
particularly disappointing as ex
tensive repairs had just about been
completed at the time of the fire.
It is said The fire was caused by
a defective chimney. Insurance in
the sum of $4,000 was carried, but
which will be far from covering
the loss.
Quarters for hired help are be-
ing fitted up in a bunk house on
the ranch, and Mr.. and Mrs. Joughin
will put up with their daughter and
husband, Mr.. and Mrs. r. w. LIE Due,
