FOURTH SET OF.
 TWINS NO RECORD
Medical Assn Cites His. tory to Prove Multiple
 Births Not Uncommon

Chicago, Dec. 24. CUP)--Mrs. Loren J. Hoff, 55, bore her fourth set of twins Tuesday night, but the American Medical Association said today 1t certainly was no record.
 Tn fact, said the A. M. A., Mrs. Hoff's four pairs, in addition to four singles, rate her only honorable mention in the all-time multiple birth sweepstakes.
 The A. M. A. gave these records:
 There was a German wife who bore A children in 8 years of mar riage, including l3 pairs of twins and six sets of triplets. A Cleveland wpman thrice married bore seven pairs of twins, five sets of tripiets and three sets of quadruplets.
 A study of l20.000,000 births in 2l countries show that twins occur on an average of once in every 85.2 de- liveries. Triplets occur once in every 7,628.7 births.
 Anyway, that still means that I'm beating the average" said Mrs. Hoff today from her hospital bed, where she is trying to think of still another pair of names that sound well together,

OUTDOOR HOLIDAY
 LIGHTS FORBIDDEN

Dimout regulations forbidding the use of outdoor Christmas lights or any other outdoor lights apply only to Waterbury, not to suburban towns, Chief Air Raid Warden James J. Curtin said today. He sug- gested, however. that suburban resi- dents, voluntarily curb any outdoor electrical displays.
 The army rules meant the elimin- ation of the colorful holiday lights in Waterbury's business sectionS and also mean the elimination, for this year, of the gaily-lightly out door trees and home decorations.

Brazil, hides often are scared. But this doesn't mean they are defective. In fact, though the Army will not use these hides, shoes made of Brazilian hide are said to wear as well or better than those of domestic hide.
 Coffee Situation
 There is enough coffee in the Uninted States and enough will be imported to keep everyone happy, says Office of Price Administra- tion. Housewives, however, must refrain from hoarding, individuals must cut down on second cups, and Storekeepers must continue their own policing to see that no family gets more than it's share.
 Speculation had 1t that since Brazil entered the war, the United States would be sending increased Lend-Lease shipments to Brazil, providing more boats to return with coffee.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-10-16

But this is not the case since Brazil exports to the U. s. many products more necessary than cof- fee, and any extra shipping space will be used for them.
 Coffee is in group 3 on the WIPE shipping priority list. Groups one and two include badly needed rubber, mica, dry hides and ba- baSsu oil to replace vegetable oils, CongratuIatiOns
