Hoosier Vagabond

NAUVCO, Ala, May 8 —The birth of the Dionne Quintuplets started a chain of circumstances that in five years has brought into their coffers more than a million dollars. But the Short Quadruplets of Alabama, setting out along the same fantastic path, have come up short, and the books closed at considerably less than $15.000. When the four little babies— Faith, Hope, Charity and Franklin—came into the world on the night of Jan. 14, in a farmhouse about two miles from this village, the world of commerce and testimonial descended upon them, A man from the Pet Milk Co. flew here from St. Louis. A few hours later a Carnation Milk representative arrived from Milwaukee. They started bidding, and Carnation won. Reporters and photographers came flooding in. Every little detail on the event, the people and the countryside went out to all of America. And then, 40 days after the birth, Hope died of pneumonia. It developed despite the finest care. and they don't know how, and they couldn't stop it. And, with Hopes death, the magic of the whole thing vanished. Her death only left triplets. There are hundreds of sets of triplets in America. Nobody pays much attention to them. The Shorts went back to anonymity. = » »

After the Bubble Burst

I came up to see what happens to people after a bubble bursts. What has happened is, in truth, not so bad. The Shorts are country people who have never had much. Clyde Short had mined a little and farmed a little all his life. They were never too acutely conscious of the thing that was happening to them, and, now that it has stopped happening, they aren't acutely conscious of that either. The Shorts and their five other children moved from their rented farm into this little town Dr. Sankey himself offered them rent free, either of two Vacant bungalows he owns. Also the mayor, P. L.

Our Town

IN JULY, 1842, THREE years after the invention of photography, Thomas Worthington Whittredge, a 22-year-old Springfield, O., boy, opened the first Daguerrean Gallery in Indianapolis He had his studio on the second floor of a frame building on Washington St. a few doors east of Charley Maver's store—at the corner of the allev, to be exact. Besides being our first photographer, Mr. Whittredge was also one of the first portrait painters to come to Indianapolis. The only artists to beat him were R. Terrell (1828) and M. G. Rogers (1831). Jacob Cox came in 1832, but it wasn't until eight vears later that he began painting portraits for a living. Up until then, Mr. & tinner as was his brother, Charles

Until 1909 little was known about Mr Whittredge's stay In Indianapolis. That vear, William Henry Fox, then director of the John Herron Art Institute. got wind of a rumor that Mr. Whittredge was still alive. Mr. Fox had a hunch that it might just be possible that Mr. Whittredge remembered something of his art experiences in Indianapolis. Forthwith Mr. Fox wrote a letter. Rightaway he got an answer. » »

Cox was

» Lived Here a Year “I did live in Indianapolis one year,” said Mr. Whittredge, “but it was before 1858 when, as you say. was formed an Art Association in the town. I do not remember the Art Association and think it must have come after I left Indianapolis. Still as I am now & very old man (in my 88th vear) I may not be correct as regards dates. I cannot recall that I ever sold any pictures to an Art Association in Indianapolis or sent any pictures there for exhibition or sale.” Mr. Whittredge continues: “I went to Indianapolis In the very first days of the Daguerrotype with

Washington

WASHINGTON, May 8. Attempts to stav out or war by legislation have been subjected to much scoffing by a school of experts in foreign affairs and, if Italy enters the war, it is possible that agitation will be renewed against restrictions in the Neutrality Act which were designed ta keep us out of the line of fire in Europe Spread of the war into the Mediterranean probably would make it necessarv for this Government to include all of Europe in the zone barred to American shipping. Theoretically Lisbon might be left open as an accessible neutral port. Practically, however, it is more likely that all European waters would be declared to be a part of the combat zone. That would completely exclude the American flag from Europe. In view of protests registered during the neutrality debate against withdrawing our ships from belligerent areas, the chances are that complete closing off of Europe would provide fresh ammunition for those who object to our self-imposed withdrawal as a supine surrender of our rights. When Germany tried to exclude our ships from the danger zone in the first World War, we went into the war. This time we voluntarily imposed an even more severe restriction upon ourselves, =

Neutrality Act Justified

Whatever may come to pass, the Neutrality Act would seem to have justified its purpose thus far. Shipping lines may have lost some profitable war business. Yet most of the displaced ships have gone into service on other runs. And up to now no Amerfcan ship has been sunk. Why? Because the seas are safe for neutrals? No. Neutrals have had more ships sunk than the British, although not as much in tonnage.

My Day

WASHINGTON, Tuesday. —VYesterday afternoon 1 visited the Florence Crittenden home here. This is an institution which receives a grant from Congress

and also has a board of visitors which provides some extra help from private resources. The grounds and building are very pleasant, the surroundings cheerful and the care good, but they acknowledge that they cannot begin to meet the need which exists in the District of Columbia, and there is no provision whatsoever for Negro girls, who certainly need help as much as the white girls. I returned to the White House for a departmental reception for women executives, At this reception the ladies of the Cabinet receive with me, and we had nearly 2000 guests. I was very grateful for beautiful weather which made it very enjoyable for evervone. The newspapers warned us that today we would have bad weather and I have been dreading possible rain, but the sun shines and soft breezes blow. Between two and three thousand members of the American Red Cross, attending their convention. came over from 2:30 to 3:30. I did not arrive to speak to them until 3 oclock because a hdspital was

Dodd, who is related to Mrs. Short, offered them a couple of houses. They took one of his.’ It is a four- | room white bungalow. They've put in new windows, | and fixed up one front room for the triplets. The rest of the family of seven lives in the other three rooms. Clyde expects to get work at the mine real soon.

The | remainder of the $35000 contract was dependent on the Quadruplets all living, so of course that is void now, In addition, the Carnation people gave $200 to the Shorts personally, and will pay them $50 a month for 20 months. Furthermore, they send down 9% cans of Carnation milk every 10 days. That's a can of milk every day for every member of the family. 2 = =»

Back to Normal

An oil man from Houston sent a check for $1000, with no strings attached to it. There were a few small items totaling a few hundred dollars. There were no big news pictures or movie contracts. A total of $12,500 pretty well sums it up. But most of the first payments are gone already. The hospital bills were high. Fees for outside baby specialists went out in $750 lumps. The balance now is less than $3000. The second check of $5000 from Carnation is due in July. When that is paid, the Quadruplet estate and the Shorts’ personal account will total up less than $8000. With the babies home again, the terrific expense of “scientific keeping” will stop. Mrs. Short has hired a girl to do the housework, and cares for the | babies herself in the daytime. A young nurse watches | over them at night. The expenses won't be great. | They have a free house for an indefinite period. | Their real ambition is to buy a little farm and a couple of mules, and that is probably what they will do. In their brief hey-day, as many as 1100 people | a day were coming to the hospital to stare at the Quadruplets. Since the Shorts moved into their! new house, not a soul has come to peer in the win- | dow. Life is back to normal now.- I think it is better that way.
