DIONNES HERE. NEIGHBOR AIRS PARENTAL IRE Papa and Mama Are Peeved About Various Things, He Indicates. Papa and Mama Di- nne. accompanied by a.ssorted re.atives and neighbors, arrived in Indianapolis late vestei Jay afternoon. po*cd for pictures, ate their dinner and went into seclusion. Papa and Mama Dion.ie were tired, their spokesmen said, and each one of them was catching a cold. They had severe headaches, and needed rest. But. the spokesman said, why not interview him? "So far as that's concerned.” he said. "I can tell you more about them than they will. We have an agreement—me and the brother, here, and the Dionnes. It lasts for 10 years. When one of us says no', then the proposition's out." This spokesman was Leo Kervin, Dionne neighbor, a short. i*artly bald, man who had the answers for everything and every one including the quintuplets that made the parents famous, and of some theatrical importance. Province to Get “C ban re” ' I'm not saying just what well do when we get back to Ontario.” the little man confided. ' We'll give the Province of Ontario a chance to do what it wants to. If that doesn't suit us. then we ll tell what we know. That's what we'll do. ' Maybe when we tell a few things about who actually brought those children into the world, then the Province of Ontario will have to take back a few of the things they've said. "They's a few of the people mixed up in this that has got a lot of credit for what they never did." he said. "Such as ” someone interpolated Raps Ontario Premier "Were not saying now,” he answered with a knowing smile. All Oliva ipapa Dionne > wants is a chance to be a father to those girls. Why. Mrs. Dionne has to wear a mask when she picks one of them up! Imagine that! Hepburn himself goes m there with no mask.” "Who's Hepburn?" ••He's premier of Ontario, and he thinks he's running that show. Why the nurses' dog runs around the hospital without a mask."

The whole party leaves Indianapolis for home." Papa and Mama appear here today at the Lyric. ‘ And did you ever notice." cracked the little man in a parting shot, "that the names of all those girls ended in e" and the name Dionne docs, too?” Then, he winked and smiled mysteriously.

Dionne Quintuplets Are Abloom With Personality; Famed Babies Charm Their Nurses With Antics

7/,\ % EMELIE CECILE MARIE ANNETTE YVONNE Enigmatic Good Naturod Madonna Mischief Maker Coquette

BY ERNEST LYNN M A <rr%irr Staff C orrp*pond,nt CALLANDER, Ont., Feb. 25. Trying to define the separate characters of five eightmonth old babies is somewhat of a task, but Louise de Kiriline, head nurse at Dafoe Hospital, where the Dionne quintuplets are quartered, is at least brave enough to make a stab at it. You have read, perhaps, that the babies have begun to deveicp personalities. Very good. But what are they? It's not easy, said Madam de Kiriline (every one calls her Madam* to put it into words, but this will give you an idea: Annette is the mischief maker, always looking for a scrap; Yvonne has developed vain little mannerisms and bids fair to be a coquette; Mane, says Madam de Kiriline, is “the Madonna,” more ethereal than her heavier and stronger sisters; Cecile is very good-natured and puts up with a lot, especially from Annette; Emilie is harder to define, but, with certain differences, she seems to be following Annette's bent for mischief. a a a JAN. 23. says Nurse de Kiriline, was marked down as a great milestone of progress in the quinRADIO PRIEST URGES TAX ON MONOPOLIES Graduated Levy on Income Favored to Preserve Security. By United Press DETROIT. Feb. 25.—The National Union for Social Justice is ready to “support a graduated taxation on monopolistic industry in order to preserve our national security,” the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin said yesterday. A*2 per cent levy was advocated by the priest for the first million dollars of annual profit. The second million would be taxed 3 per cent and onward to a certain point. When a limit of 10 millions profit had accrued there would be levied "a profit tax so large it would prohibit profitable operation beyond that point.” ROOSEVELT RESTS AT HUDSON VALLEY HOME Puts Finishing Touches on Important Messages. By l nil' ll Press HYDE PARK. N. Y.. Feb. 25 —ln the seclusion of his Hudson Valley home, president Roosevelt today put the finishing touches to two important messages to Congress—one dealing with American shipping, the other with transportation. Mr. Roosevelt hoped to complete the shipping message within the next 24 hours. If no interruptions occur, he would have it ready for presentation to Congress by tomorrow. or Wednesday, at the latest. Mr. Roosevelt yesterday enjoyed his first winter week-end at Hyde Park since early 1932. During the afternoon, he drove over his estate in an one-ohrse open sleigh. POLICE FIND DOG RABID Warning Issued to Persons Bitten bv Fox Terrier.

Beneficial Amount Added to ORBIT Gum

If you were to cut a pound loaf of 245-unit Vitamin "D” bread into 16 thick slices, you would have to eat 5 slices to get as much of this food element as is in a package of ORBIT Gum. This 5c package contains more of the sunshine vitamin than a whole pint of fresh Vitamin milk having 135 units per quart. According to government standards of measurement, each * ackaje of ORBIT Gum con-

tuplets’ history, for on that day Annette, seeing Cecile with a red rattle in her hand, tried to grab it, failed and then turned over on her tummy and squawked for it. What made the date a red-let-ter one was that It was the first time one of the babies had shown any real sign of wanting something that someone else had. I am in position to testify that Mme. de Kiriline was accurate in her description of Annette and Cecile, for during one of my visits to the hospital I saw Annette open hostilities on her good-na-tured sister, and for a minute or two it looked like trouble. Both had been placed in the same bed temporarily, following their baths, and Annette evidently wanted to be someplace else. She began to yell and kick and she started to give Cecile a thorough overhauling, but the goodnatured one took it all with a smile and a most casual air. a a a FROM all of which it is not to be gathered that Annette is considered "bad.” On the contrary, if it is possible to say that any of these young ladies is more popular than her sisters, the vote probably would go to Annette for her liveliness.

TWINS, 8. LOST FOR 17 HOURS IN SWAMP, WORRY ABOUT SCHOOL

By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—John and Margaret Miller, 8-year-old twins, started worrying for fear they would be late to school almost as soon as they were returned home safe today after being lost 17 hours in a Marylandswamp not far from the district line. Hundreds of police, CCC workers and citizens had hunted for the children after they disappeared yesterday afternoon near a large bog in Prince Geojges County. Maryland. The youngsters were located unharmed today by officer Claude Reese of the Prince Georges County force, who found them walking up the Washington-Balti-more pike, eight miles from the capital.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ite, naturally, is little Yvonne, her namesake. Patricia Mullin, the relief nurse, is a bit partial to Marie, and you gather that this is the Irish big-heartodness in Pat championing the cause of the weakest. Madam de Kiriline finds it difficult to name a favorite, but you find in the course of her conversation that she has a weakness for the scrappy Annette. Among the items of interest that impress the fumbling layman in an inspection of the hospital layout are such gadgets as nipples that screw on the bottles instead of stretching over them; screw-caps of hard rubber which displace such old-fashioned things as corks; two kinds of high chairs for each quintuplet, and an assortment of beds, playpens, buggies, and other accessories that would knock your eye out. a a a Nurse pat mullin allowed me to inspect the babies’ locker, a veritable treasure chest of gifts. An inventory would be longer than your arm, but it may be said that in the matter of dresses, jewelry, booties (I believe they call them), and even little dressing gowns, the quintuplets are all set for some time to come. The housekeeper, Laurence Clusiaux, says there are 150 pieces of laundry each day for the babies. And 80 of these are diapers. "But,” she adds, "diapers are used in more ways than one.” It may he well at this point to inform mothers at large that in the matter of diaper technique the modern four-square method is used, as opposed to the older three-cornered system. In the latter, you remember (or do you?), vou fold- the diaper from northeast to southwest, forming a triang’e, the apex of which points toward the baby’s feet. The other two ends are then draw-n together about the victim's middle, the apex is drawm up to meet them, and all three are triumphantly fastened together with one safety pin. The four-square method, as practiced at the Dafoe hospital, eliminates the triangle, but requires two safety pins. Both systems, as in bridge, have their staunch adherents, with the modern vote apparently going along with the five little sisters of Corbeil.

Copyright-, 1935, XEA Service, Inc.) ANY story of the quintuplets’ routine would be incomplete without mention of the man who takes their pictures for the newspapers. Fred Davis is the official photographer. His lives in Toronto, and it is his pleasurable duty to run up to Callander every so often for several days of shuttersnapping in the Dafoe hospital nursery. Fred has been with the quins, off and on, since their birth. He knows most of the natves now, and has the confidence of Dr. Dafoe. the nurses, and the guardans to such an extent that the idea of a substitute for him probably would precipitate a war. He’s such an old hand in the nursery that he knows almost as much about handling the babies as the nurses themselves. The quins seem to be utterly charmed when he’s around and are always on their best behavior. And any one who has seen the pictures he makes will have to admit that he is something of a genius with a camera and a flash bulb. Fred is versatile, too. At one of the strangest movie previews that any one ever witnessed, I saw him operate a projector. For an amateur, he did a good job. The movie was exhibited in the little hospital on the eve of the departure of Oliva and Elzire Dionne for the United States. The film was privately made and will not be exhibited publicly. It now belongs to Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, and it is a record, from their birth to fairly recent date, of the quintuplets. ana THE main point of this anecdote, however, is that Oliva and Elzire Dionne, who had not yet seen their babies on the screen, were the honor guests at this party, which included nurses, housekeeper. Lios Legros (the hospital orderly), and Father McNally, priest of Corbeil parish; and that they sat through the entire two reels without showing any of the usual signs of parental pride—without, in fact, even smiling. It was plain to an outside observer that the parents are jealous of all the attention which is being showered on the quintuplets and has left them comparatively ignored. Not that one can blame them exactly, either. But perhaps their trip to Chicago and their taste of big city splendors will help to erase any notion they may have had that the world was holding out on them.

WALKER BROKE, HE CLAIMS AT DEBTJEARING ‘Proves I Didn't Get Rich in Office,’ Former Mayor Says. By United Press LONDON. Feb. 25.—Former Mayor James J. Walker of New York, once a noted spender, dresser and bon vivant, admitted in chancery court today that he is broke and can noc pay his bills. Walker testified that his income is $lO5 a week from newspaper writing, of which 40 per cent goes to a collaborator on a projected book; that he is living with his wife and her mother in the latter's house, and that his wife, the former Betty Compton, paid for their recent trip to Spain. Walker was summoned regarding two debts. - Mrs. Walker was not present at the hearing. The former mayor testified that he now is living with his wife and mother-in-law in the latter's home. "Did you a short time ago cruise to Spain with your present wife?” Walker was asked. Wife Paid for Trip “It was not a cruise,” Walker replied. "I went to Spain with Mrs. Walker because of her health.” -Who paid fsr that trip?” "Mrs. Walker bought the tickets and paid the expense.” Walker told the United Press today he took satisfaction at least in confounding those who had hinted that he was a political money grabber while in office. Despite the "obvious humiliation” of today's hearing on his debts hi chancery, he chuckled at what he considered automatic refutation of the insinuation that he was a political racketeer. "Where is all this money I was supposed to have made in politics?" he asked. “I will gladly split it with anybody who finds it, because we need it badly.” Salary Was §25,000 "How does it feel to be broke?” he was asked. "Why, hell,” he replied, "I am broke and have been for two years. Otherwise. I would not hesitate to pay my bills (he referred to those incurred on behalf of his former wife), even though I consider I am not legally or morally responsible for them, inasmuch as when I was making $25,000 a year, I paid my former wife $15,000. That is surely enough to cover the necessaries of life w'hich a husband is legally and morally bound to provide. "It is strange that they never asked my consent for my former wife to contract all these bills, although they knew we were living apart. “Furthermore, they never even sent me the bills and never asked me to pay them while I was in New York. The first thing I knew about them was when I was lying sick on the Riviera, wTiere they obtained judgment by default. Thus they did not even give me a chance to defend myself.” PARENTS ARE HELD ON CHARGES OF NEGLECT Couple Arrested After Children Are Found Alone, Without Food. Richard Collier and his wife, Mrs. Alma Collier, 1128 Spruce-st, today face charges of child neglect and drunkenness. They were arrested Saturday night at their home after a neighbor had notified police that the Collier children, Mary, 11, and Alta May, 12, had been left at home all day without food or heat. Police waited at the home until the Colliers returned late Saturday night accompanied by a friend who said he had met them drinking in a tavern on Virginia-av. Police said they were staggering when they arrived at home.

rtuviN© ( hiss of Air Sorviro Srripps-Hnw ard Junior Ariator HERE we are, you airplane builders and fliers of tomorrow. ready for this column's first flight. The motor's tuned up. bumming nicely. ... so give er the gun! For our take-off let me tell you that aviation, advancing so swiftly as it has, faces a future offering almost unlimited possibilities, the scope of its activity barely realized. The question most people ask when I say this so positively is, “How do you know . . . how can you tell what the future will bring? "Just what mechanical developments or revolutionary changes are you expecting?” they ask. Lots will come . . . things we don’t even dream about now . . but whether or not the future is all set. It’s the 5,000.000 air-minded youngsters of the nation—those who right now are building model planes, reading, studying everything about aviation they can get their hands on—it is they who will carry the aeronautic industry ahead. The tiny ships you boys are building, or will build, aren't just toys. Far from it. Accurately designed from blueprints, they equal in almost every detail those which professional manufacturers make to test in wind tunnels. Now here's something else. We're going to mobilize, we aviation enthusiasts, into one great squadron. A lot of lone scattered fliers can't be efficient. . . . you boys who are learning the game and those who are old-timers are going to work together. We are going to recruit for our war against . . . our peace squadrons will conquer the air ocean above us. a a a QUESTION: How can model building help me become a flier? When I prepared to fly upside down what did I do? Got myself a model plane, laid down on my back and studied the replica, shifting the controls until I knew just what was what. The same thing applies to you. It's fairly easy to learn to fly. but to know why you do this or that . . . that’s what you learn by making models. You’re dealing on a smaller scale with something you later will have on a large one.
