Not So Bad After First Dip, Dionnes Decide

CORBEIL, Ontario, Aug. 17—Sturdiest of the Dionne quintuplets, Yvonne and Annette have passed through the ordeal of their first bath and frdm now on this will be just part of the painstaking routine marking their care. Previously the pair had been bathed only with olive oil, to protect their tender skin. For the momentous occasion of the first tubbing, the nurses carried hot water from the kitchen in a milk pail. Cooling it off. they gave it an extremely precise thermometer reading and were ready to go. First Yvonne was lifted from her incubator couch, then Annette. Both were divested expertly of their “napkins," and slowly lowered into the bath pans. With a full-lunged howl. Yvonne, largest of the five, now past the six-pound mark, registered her reaction to the strange element. Annette, however, took the dip in her stride, though with some waving of arms and wearing a slightly disgruntled expression. Her protest sounded. Yvonne relaxed and closed her eyes. As the warm water covered her body, the look of displeasure faded from her lace and she gave no further indication of revolt. A few moments' immersion, a tender washing of each child, Yvonne by Nurse Yvonne Leroux and Annette by Nurse Patricia Mullins, a thorough drying. and the pair were returned to their cozy’ shelters. With Yvonne and Annette now decorated with the Order of the Bath, the nurses look forward eacerly to the day when Marie, Cecile and Emelie will undergo their initiation.

It's a look laden with disgust that Annette Dionne turns on the ivorld, in the picture above, as she puts up her guard in true pugilistic style to ward off the icater of her first bath. But Nurse Patricia Mullins refuses to be waved away. It's Annette's introduction to a dip, as her tender skin has known only olive oil before. In the picture at the left, it isn’t the warm icater of her first bath that bothers Yvonne, “ giantess” of the Dionne quintuplets, but she registers loud resentment at being held by the scruff of the neck in such undignified manner by Nurse Yvonne Leroux.

United States .Senator Huey P. i Long cracked his whip over the | state legislature today to speed legislation which will extend his dictatorship of Louisiana to the city of New Orleans.

(Li'l Arthur* Robinson of Indiana. By Saturday night, if everything goes according to form, the Kingfish should have under his domination three armies. The house voted to give Governor O. K. Allen, Long's ally, complete control over the state militia. The courts may not interfere. Another army of state constables, to whom newspapers have referred as "Cossacks.” was provided in unlimited numbers. They will have jurisdiction in every part of the state, including New Orleans. The third army is a special election force. Boards of election supervisors, dominated by Huey, may swear in and arm as many deputies as they choose for election duty.
