OUINTUPLETS IN
 PERFECT FORM
Three Physicians Give Ex= animation; Four Years
 Old May 28

Callander, Ont, May 18-(UP).- The Dionne quintuplets, who will be four years old May 28, are perfect physical specimens, but they cer- tainly are 8 handful, three weary physicians reported today.
 The doctors last night attempted to examine the exuberant sisters ell masSe, so to speak, but quickly had to change to a one-at-a-time technique. While one quintuplet was being examined for possible defects, the other four climbed about over the examiners, impeding progress. Things went more smoothly after the one-a-a- time methods was adopted. Even SO, the doctors were prevailed upon to examine the quins' nursery books, too, before they could retire to prepare report.
 All Child Specialists
 The physicians-all Toronto child specialists-were Dr. Allan Brown, professor of pediatricS at the Uni- versity of Toronto, physician-in- chief to the sisters; Dr. c. E. Hill, widely known eye specialist, and Dr. William A. Dafoe, brother of Dr.. Allan Roy Dafoe, who brought the quins into the world. Dr. Brown said that in the four months since he last examined the quintuplets there had been "a great improve ment in progress" exceeding other periods in their development. Their muscular and bone growth, he said, was perfect" all their organs normal"
 Normal In All Respects
 Dr. Hill said the quins' eyes were normal in all respects" and had not been affected by fiashlight pho- tography which they have under gone since birth. He said none need ed glasses and may never require them" Dr. Dafoe confirmed the findings of his colleagues. Dean A. D. Mason of the University of To- ronto's College of Dentistry exam ined the sisters teeth earlier in the week and found them perfect with not single cavity. The quins pleased by the attention, chattered excitedly in French long after the doctors had gone.

MAINTENANCE of first-class Iv1 lawns requires long. hard work, and patience For those who are willing to stick by the job at hand. tho information here will be of as- sistance.
 Weeds. of course, are an eternal problem. They must be given yigor- ous battle each succeeding year. Early spring and late fall are the best times for weed fighting. as the moist conditions then make it more easy to pull them by the roots.
 Dig out dandelions dt least taCo Snches below the surface. Shallow cutting is worse than useless as the remaining root forms several new plants.
 Crab grass is one of the most widespread and persistent of the current grass enemies. In late sum- mer, when it is about to seed, keep it cut closely, It should be pulled out by the roots in late summer and early fall. Special rakes can be ob- tained for the purpose if pulling by hand proves too laborious.
 VuSh tHc puiiH6 CuOIc IS uOuc, balanced plant food should be ap- piled to the lawn,-four pounds to every 100 square feet. Next wet the lawn Then apply seed and rake or roll 1t in.
 Crab grass dies in the fall. but drops seed which germinates the following spring, The practice here recommended Git should be per. formed sometime between August 15 and September 15) should give good crop of grass in the early spring. so dense and vigorous that the crab grass seedlings, which germinate comparatively late, will not have sufficient space or light for development
 in caring for the lawn, remember Co make additional applications of plant food periodically where there are large trees.
 Water lawns late in the day. Do aot sprinkle every day or 50. but give one good soaking a week, wet. ting the soil to depth of several inches.
