No less than three ladies have called th« attention of the Advance to what they term a serious error La a recent issue of this newspaper. They say that the Advance told â- bout two pairs, sets, or groups, of twins being born recently at Smiith Rock Falls, while the truth as the ladies see it is that the said pairs, 'Jiets or groups, of twins were bom Ai Twin Falls. The one lady speaks In sorrow â€" sorrow that the Advance _ihould make a mistake. The second lady speaks in anger â€" anger that iSmooth Rock Falls should get the ^edit rightly due to Twin Falls. The Uiird lady speaks â€" in pure impish- feess. Heaven bless her! And help ker. If three men found fault vrith the Advance, well, that would simply ko three men finding fault! But with biree ladies It is different! What to do? Well, what can be done about twins, except to accept the inevit- able! It is a Jolly good thing that Callander or Corbeil were not ment- ioned. In excuse to two of the ladies â€" the one who spoke in friendly sor- row, and the one who spoke in inger â€" an explanation is due. To the third lady â€" who was actually the Srst lady to comment on the item â€" ihe one who spoke impishly â€" nothing but good wishes that she may have a similar item or items ttf her own to give the Advance, »nd that there are no errors. The explanation of the whole mat- ter is nearly as complicated as twins. The advance was given the inform- ation in the item by a gentleman who once lived in Iroquois Falls, but later was employed at Smooth Rock Falls and possibly lives now at Twin Palls. The Advance apparently got Its Falls all mixed up in this matter of twins, and now the ladies are taking falls out of the Advance. Since the complaint of the three ladies the Advance has checked up on the twins and the Falls, and learns now that the two pairs of twins were born within a few days of each other at Iroquois Falls, of parents residing in Twins Falls and all of them but the twins had heard of Smooth Rock Falls. Accordingly, everybody is right, and everybody wrong, but the twins. The twins are all right. Twin Falls is a small settlement not far from Iroquois Falls, nor very far from Smooth Rock Falls as the crow flies, or the stork flies. For Twin Falls to have two pairs of twins is a mark of distinction â€" what a certain or uncertain Toronto newspaper would term a birth mark. Cape Breton's Gigantic Scot Raised Anchor (From the Moneton Transcript.) The Sydney Post-Record antici- pates the opening of the Sydney an- niversary celebration by issuing forty-eight page edition reviewing the history of Cape Breton in gen eral and Sydney in particular. The story would scarcely be com plete without mention of the famed Giant MacAskill, who brought fame to his adopted country, or rather the country of his parents' adoption when he was only six. He was born of aver!»{;e-3ized parents in the Hebrides, one of a family of thir teen, in the year 1825. After an uneventful voyage, their ship reach- ed St. Ann's Bay, a sparsely settled district in Victoria County, Cape Breton, where the family began life anew, and between farming and fishing eked out an existence which was quite comfortable. In the little churchyard, high up in the hills overlooking the entrance to the bay, is a small tombstone marking the burial place of Angus MacAskill; a dutiful son, a kind brother, just in all his dealings, uni- versally respected by friends and acquaintances," reads the inscrip- tion. He died at the early age of thirty eight, but not before he had made a tour of North America and parts of Europe, part of the time with Tom Thumb as his partner. They made a strange contrast. MacAskill was seven feet, nine inches in height, more than five hundred pounds in weight and his chest measurement was eighty inches. The palm of his hand was six inches wide and the hand foot in length; the smallest man in the world would stand on the palm of the giant's hand a perform a little dance. He appeared before Queen Victoria, when he received two gold rings, and he gave exhibi- tions in his native Scotland. The crowning feat of his life- time was seen by a New York audi- ence after his return from Europe, when he lifted a 2,200 pound anchor from a wharf to his shoulder. This feat eventually forced his retire- ment, fortunately, however, with a fair competence. '" DIONNE BABIES SHOULD LIVE TO 39 AND LAST SURVIVOR TO AGE OF 83 iFnm the Statistical Bulletin ot the Metropolitan Life) May 28, 1935, la a notable date In liistory. Never before has there been in authenticated report of quintup- lets all surviving to celebrate their first anniversary. Tiho DIonne quin- tuplets are the first to have accom- plished this feat. For this gratifying result we may thank Dr. Dafoe, whose great care and skill, assisted by all the expedients of modern medi- cal science, have made this joint sur- vival possible. In surviving togetiher to age one, this group ot five baby girls has suc- cessfully overcome risks equivalent to those that one female Individual meets in the course of her first 51 years of life. This statement is bas- ed on tile most recent life table rep- resenting current American mortality conditions, according to which the probability of one girl baby surviving to age one la a little over 95 per cent. The probability of five such babies all surviving to age one is the fifth power of this figure, that Is 78 per cent. The same life table shows that the probability of one female newborn baby surviving to age 51 is 78 per cent. Thus, even if we assume as favorable mortality for quintuplets as for the average American child, we reach the conclusion stated above, that In the first year of fhelr life they have withstood the degree of life risk ordinarily met with by one female individual in the first 51 year;; of her life. Actually, these babies were prema- turely born, and this without doubt greatly Increased their risk of dying In their first year. When we consid- er In addition the fact that multiple births always represent a very seri- ous handicap, wo cannot raise too highly the skill ot the physician and his staff whose unfiagglng efforts have preserved these remarkable children and brought them to their present state of robust babyhood. As the re.sult ot this achievement, any one of these children considered separately has now an expectation of life of 65 yeaiB. It wo ask how long they may all as a group expect to live together, the answer, computed from the life table. Is naturally, a smaller number, namely 39 years. This is an average figure. Ac- tually they may well do better than that, for they seem to be in splendid health, and, as wards of the King, will continue to receive excellent care. While the expectation of life of the five as a group necessarily is less than that of any one of them separately, on the other hand, the longest lived of the five, whoever she may be, has a great expecta- tion of life than any random one of them. Her expectation is 83 years. All these figures are based on av- erages, and actually the children may do better than stated above. One fact which it is not possible to take into account in the computation is that the children are of the "identi- cal" kind of multiple birt'hs, >ind therefore they probably have very closely similar predispositions, such as would tend, barring accidents, to make them all survive to about the same age. This we have every reason to hope, may be an advanced age, to judge from their present robust health and the special provisions taken for their welfare. Modem Tourist Changes His Ways of Ske tch Club ® LESSON NO. 63 Composition in Art â€" Part 2 We will endeavour in this lesson to teach in the practice of Com- mercial Art how we follow the laws of proportion to achieve: HAR- MONY, BALANCE and RHYTHM. These are the principle modes in which VARIETY is revealed in Nature and through arrangement in works of Art. Harmony in Balance or in Rhythm occurs in repetition of an element in which there is some corresponding features or some likeness. It is this harmonious relation between things, this variety, that we sueli in Nature. derstood. In Fig. No. 198, by drawing a line through the centre of a rec- tangle we make an equal division of two areas which have the same im portance. Here we have a uniformity, a sameness that gives symmetry, but not Variety. However, we do obtain a little Variety in Fig. No. 199, by placing the line a little to the left of the centre. Which gives a slight ad- ditional interest, yet it approaches too closely to uniformity to be real ly interesting or pleasing. There is no feeling of distinct relations in (From the St. Thomas Times-Journal.) The motorist who went on a vaca- tion with his family 10 or 12 years ago had to cut it short unless he Was able to afford to spend a sub- stantial sum on hotels, or, alter- natively didn't mind lugging a tent along with him and camping on any field where he got permission, plus carrying a cooking outfit and uten- sils â€" ^which didn't make it much of a holiday for the wife and mother. There were few tourist camps to be seen, and those that did exist were just wooden huts put together, while the beds and bedding were far from inviting. If he did got to a hotel he had to be prepared to pay five to ten dollars a night for a room or rooms, dinner and breakfast bills, a dollar for garage, and last, but not least, hand out tips here and there. During recent years there has been an amazing change. There are sleeping cabins everywhere along the highways, some of them as at- tractive and inviting as any small Summer home, and amid surround- ings in orchards or by lakes and rivers that positively persuade the touriRt to stop and enjoy the locat- ion. Beds and conveniences are all that could be desired, and the price within the reach of the most humble travellers. And beautiful tourist homes, too, so nice-looking outside and in that one has to look twice to see if he is not making a mistake in pulling up at the residence of some gentleman who would be in- sulted if asked for ' room. Many people in good circumstanc- es cater to this trade, making a substantial sum per week, which helps to pay off the mortgage. We heard recently of a couple in the Niagara area who started to buy a 15-room house in the days before the economic slump, and then found themselves in a fix. They were con- fronted with the prospect of losing what they had already psid, but pocketed their pride and took in tourists. In four years the fine home which they had figured on owning in 12 years was their own. The "depres- sion" proved a boon to them. The experience could be multiplied In- definitely on varying scfiles. Of course, this has been hard on standard hotels, but there has been a general stimulation of travel which otherwise would not have taken place. People are getting to know their own country, and that of the United States better, and a lot of money is being put into general cir- culation. ,:^.^f Here We Are Again!

The neat little British locomotives, run- ning between the clipped hedges and can-ful fencings of a settled land, never had cowcatchers. There was no need for them in Eny:!and. The device on the iron horses of America bespoke the pioneer con- ditions, the unfcnced distance:;, the wiUlncss of llie country through which they ran, just as the old bell- stacked woodbiirners bespoke iirimo- val forest, so plentiful that one could afi'ord to stol;e locomotives with it.

There is however, a division of the area in which the eye can perceive a harmonious relation ihat gives a sense of real satisfact- ion.

Mr. Daniel WiUard has claimed the "blue ribbon with palms" rashly offered by a columnist to any one who could cite a case of a cowcatch- er catching a cow. In the early days the cowcatcher of a locomotive Mr. Willard was driving not only caught a cow but prevented the cow from catching the locomotive, and so preserved Mr. Willard to posterity and the president of the B. & 0. Thus is a noble though now de- clining institution of American rail- roading vindicated. The old-fash- ioned cowcatcher was generous m proportions, strongly b.arred and amply sloped. For generations of tank "town small boys it was a focal point in the imagination, second only to the thundering wheels of the esoteric glories of the cab. It was exciting in its suggestion at once of menace and defence; it figured largely in the railroad dime novels in desperate deeds of vil- lainy or heroism, and the dream of one day riding the cowcatcher re- presented u summation ot adventur- ous bliss beside which even a ride in the cab would pale. It would have been heartbreaking to believe that a cowcatcher bad never even caught a cow.
