Twenfy-Six Pigs in One
Litter May be World Record

GREENSBORO, Ky.-What may be
the worlds record pig litter has
been born on the farm of Guy M.
Deane.
The sow gave birth to 26 pigs
almost three times the number in
a normal litter. Twenty-three lived
and appeared healthy. The other
three were believed to have been
accidentally killed by the animal.
Biggest problem of the oversize
litter was feeding. The SOW was
able to feed only IL at a time. To
ease the situation, Deane handed
over five of the little pigs to two
other sows.
The 26-pig sow, a spotted Poland
China, was bred to a Hampshire

Worlds Largest
Treasure Lies
On Sea Bottom

WASHINGTON-Of all the treas
ure IN the world-that hidden in the
treasure houses of potentates of the
east an d rich men of the
world, a greater treasure lies al
the bottom of the sea in rotting
ships.
Billions of dollars worth, prob.
ably, but only the tidy sum of $780,
OOo,0o0 seems to be accounted for
by the historians.
This figure is based upon a sur
vey of 70 old treasure ships, now
fathoms deep, whose names, ap-
proXimate locations, and cargoes
have been authenticated.
Apparently only Davy Jones has
full information about other rich
vessels, notes the National Geo.
graphic society.
Staggering Losses
For instance, records are frag-
mentary concerning the gold laden
portuguese galleons which e r
sunk off the coast of Brazil. Manv
must have been lost because there
is a discrepancy of 50, 900, 900, 900
between official records of gold and
the amounts received in the home
country.
The Spanish, too, had staggering
losses. Their numbering galleons
were often easy prey for British and
Dutch ships and the swift vessels
of the ruthless Caribbean pirates.
Half of the $500, 900, 900 in known
lost treasures consists of sunken
Spanish loot from Latin America.
The Spanish lost the largest ship
ment of precious metal they ever
transported. Archives of Spain and
England set the value of the treas
ure $3.50, 900, 900 which stuffed the
holds of a II ship armada. British
and Dutch men of war sank all but
one of these vessels in an action at
Vigo Bay, Spain, in 1902. The attack
.rs got $40, 600, 900, and salvage COM
panies of half a dozen nations have
since recovered an additional S2O.-

Healthy Age of 100

the new medical speciality concerned
with diseases of the aged.
Medical science has added years
to the human lifespan," says Dutch
ess, land now is in the process of
adding life and vigor to the added

Modern medicine has made the
age of longevity a reality, raising
the average life expectancy nearly
20 years. Today there are over II
million Americans in the 65-and-
over age group, as against only 3
million in this category in 1900.
Present estimates are that there
will be at least 20 million Ameri-
cans IS and over by 1880.
This striking increase in life ex
pectancy has been accomplished by
a combination of new and potent
medical weapons - such wonder
drugs" as penicillin and streptomy-
Gin, better care treatment
methods, and preventive medicine
as practiced by the geriatricians.
According to Duchess, the next
generation will see increasing num-
bers of healthy men and women of
100 matching the economic and So
cial accomplishments of today's 40
year-olds.
"The chief threat to the aged at
the present lies in the s~o-called de-
%generative Diseases" explains
Duchess, (which cripple and strike
down people of 40 and over.
Recent research indicates that
arteriosclerosis, coronary throm-
bosis and degenerative diseases in
general are caused by nutritional
deficiencies. There is reason to be-
that new drugs will 500 be

But the Schenley executive does
not believe the entire problem of
happier and healthier aged can be
solved by drugs alone.
"Old people must have a sense

Starvation Butte Monument To Death
c. Taylor, Editor, The Ekalaka Eagle

BY Tom c. Taylor, Editor, The Ekalaka Eagle
Starvation Butte, or Battle Mountain, in the Chalk Buttes
is named from an incident recorded only in a legendary wav.
1t, says the legend, was a slow-acting and dry death-trap
for the band of Indian hunters who fled to it's summit to escape
a hostile war party in some undetermined year before the White
Man came in force to this southeastern corner of Montana.
Accessible only by one narrow break in the sandstone cliff.
the pursued hunters adjudged its defensible qualities correctly. A
handful with primitive weapons could stand off an army. But
the pursuers were calculating and ruthless warriors. They
camped in force at the bottom of the defle and waited while
their victims died of thirst and hunger on the almost treeless
and unprotected top of the butte.
In the old days, say those who were then young, there was
a variety of arrowheads and old knives with the handles gone.
as proof of the incident. Now there is only the breathtaking
view of the Powder river breaks to the west; the pretty verdure
of the pines and Birch spring a few hundred yards to the
