' DIONNB QUINTS NOT THE FIRtl
I
Australian Quints Said To Have Been
Born Sixty Years Ago.
The following la taken from a re
cent issue of The United Btatea British
News, published at Chicago, aud
the article bears a Montreal date line
of August 16;
Possibility the Plonne quintuplets
are not the first set of quintuplets
ever to survive was expressed here
tonight following discovery In a house
on St. Pantile street of an old scrapbook
kept by the late Alfred Hirst,
traveller, soldlor, policeman and collector
of curiosities.
A clipping from the 8au Francisco
Chronicle of nearly sixty years ago,
contained in the scrapbook, says
quintuplets were born to the wife of
a South Australian farmer named
Schuler, a German settler, who, with
many compatriots farmed a tract of
land about thirty miles from the Town
of Kapunda, South Australia. The
clipping adds: "All of them are alive
and are said to be very healthy."
According to the clipping, Mrs.
Schuler was a huge woman, "standiug
I six feet four inches in her stockings
and turning the balance at 244 pounds
7 ounces." She had already given
birth to five children, Including two
pairs of twins?"a fact deemed of so
little importance In her remarkable
effpi^a to increase the population of
her adopted country that no exact
dates of the occurrences were made,"
the report continues.
"Her crowning effort, and one that
wouid, bad she lived in America, at
once given her the title of the champion
child-producer, took place in October,
1878, When she gave birth to
three boys and two girls. Every one
appears to have been greatly astonished,
for, though Mrs. Schuler already
had made a reputation In this
line, So great an event was altogether
unexpected.
."The father of the five Is said to
have sat down stupidly and mechanically
gazing from one Infant to the
other simply said: 4Mein Gott, meln
Gott.' There were three boys and two
girls, but no facts as to their weight
and appearance Immediately after
birth are given. All of them are alive
and said to be very healthy."
The report relates a sixpenny subscription
was opened in the district
for the infants, and it was suggested
it would probably exceed $16,000. A
full account of the case was transmitted
to the Secretary for the Colonies
in London at the time. A footnote
concludes; "Michael Hagarty,
the Australian Barnum, is said to have
offered Mrs. Schuler $250 a week and
all expenses of himself, wife aud five
children to travel, hut the offer was
declined."
POLITENE88 FROM POLICE
The police of St. Louis have been
ordered to be polite or lose their
lobs. Police Chief John. J. McCarthy
baa ruled that < "Hey, you!" fa out,
that wise-cracks have bad .their day,
wd that "citizens am entitled-*? considerate
and courteous treatment at
Hi i times and under all circumstances."
r, -
It is a revealing commentary on
American life that the issuance of
Buch highly sensible orders should be
accounted news.
A police department ought to be
courteous and polite. Policemen are
public servants; our would suppose
that a decent measure of politeness
and courtesy could be taken for
granted. But In most cities the reverse
is true. * .
The- average^ copper is honest
enbugh and well-intentioned enough, :
but the idea of treating taxpayers
with a modicum of civility never
seems to enter his head. We greatly
need a few more police chiefs with
ideas like those of St. Louis' McCarthy.?Sumter

I Present VUiutltn M "Moiqultm An
Aftermath of Tropical Storm.
Since the passing of the tropical
hurricane, that played euch havoc lu
fr lorlda and eent ralu atoriue sweeplog
across this section, a veritable
pest of mosquitoes has afflicted lower
and middle South Carolina. An aftermath
of mosquitoes following trop- '
leal hurricanes has been the exper- '
lence of this section for decades. The
older citisens have painful recollections
of the myriads of mosquitoes
that desoended upon Sumter linmed- i
lately after the great hurricane of 1898 I
and similar but lessei^cfefrtatious have
occurred after hurricanes In succeed- 1
Ing years. Thia Is evldeuce that the 1
mosquito pest Is the result of the <
storms that sweep the mosquitoes In I
from the marshes of the coastal region '
and not to local conditions. The mos I
qulto that we now have are almost 1
certainly not of local origin. Similar *
conditions have Invariably followed a 1
tropical hurricane over a long peHod ?
of years, while In the years of no
great tropical disturbance there have i
been few mosquitoes locally. <
The Sumter health department with- t
in the past few days has received t
numerous complaints about the mos- c
qultoes and many demands that the >
nuisance be abated forthwith. The i
Officers and employees of this depart- t
raent are assldious in their efforts to I
improve condftions and have made fre- r
quent and regular inspections through- ^
out the spring and surfimer and i
wherever mosquito breeding places I
have been found steps have been tak- c
en' to eliminate them. This work they r
are continuing. They are repeating ;
and urgently receiving the request t
that house-holders co-operate with e
them by making careful search of t
their own premises for old tin cans c
and other vessels that hold water and
afford breeding places for mosquitoes; ^
I and they also suggest an inspection of 8
house gutters that hold water. Mos- ?
quito breeding places In and around j
the city have been largely eliminated j
In recent years and conditions are jj
fairly good for the control of the mos- t
qulto pest, except for vagrant tin cans B
and similar water holding vessels.-? $

HA# ETHIOPIA A CHANCE7
(Condensed From Current History)
Nowhere on earth Is solar host so
fierce as on the Ited Ren shore whence
Mussolini's troops are launching their
attack on the extraordinary rock fortress,
which, as grim old Menellk told
the powers In 1901, "has withstood
all attacks as a Christian Island in
a sea of pagans for these 1400 years."
When transports landed the advance
guard of Italy's expedition at
Mussawa, this Italian seaport base In
Eritrea was a primitive town sweltering
In a heat that has been known to
reach 130 degrees In the shade. Fresh
water was extremely scarce, aud tankBra
were sent 350 miles to Egypt tor
It. Wells were, sunk in haste, bift
fresh water along Italy's Red Sea belt
!s nauseous stuff. As deuiaud for water
grew desperate, a ration ef two
piuts a man per day was allotted,
with serious results In sickness and
Usability. Three thousand troopers
ind artisans were returned home in
i fortnight.
These Red Sea lands are no place
for Caucasians. l)y day the strong3st
and bravest of Fascist recruits
ire apt to wilt and sicken. At night
be soldiers and workmen sleep naked
m straw mats in the narrow streets,
vhlle their fellows unlpad troops and
nunltlons by acetylene flares, until
i blazing sunrise again stops all la>or.
Apart from malaria' and the furtace
winds that tear the trees to rags,
vhite exiles here are prone to the pe;ultyr
cafard, a virulent form of the
)lues; and they come to loathe the
eternal sand and stones, the dusty
imosu scrub under blinding sunlight
ind the stark termite anthills rising
on or fifteen feet out of the endless
iteppes that roll like dry sea- beds
o the far horizons of Ethiopia's lofty
itadel.
It has been a tremendous task to
louse and care for hundreds of thouands
of Italians at Massawa, and still
uore so at Mogadishu, in Somallland,
taly's only other base for the attack,
ifogadlshu Is 5,000 miles from the '
omeland, on the rock-bound coast of
he Indian Ocean, where you may
earch In vain for 1,200 miles In quest
>f any fair haven, even for a tramp
teamer. At this port, Italy's new
rmada must roll at sea while lightrs
plod to and fro with all things,
rom sectioned houses, flled guns and
etrol, to barbed wire and roadmak;
ag engines. Thus Italy's only two
orts are the poorest possible bases
rhlch an immense twin army could
se for simultaneous advance. Every- !
hlng must be brought from Europe,
r from Asiatic and African ports,
'lmbera had to be brought for canonments
to shelter whole divisions,
or quarters for officers, doctors, nures,
mechanics of the air forces, roadaakers
and tank brigades. Mussolini
as sent out almost as many workers

are to be bought over, then linked up
with Italy's advance. Speed is ,the
very essence of a campaign across the
lowlands that lie between them and

Oraziani has fought primitive people
before. For'18 years he matched
his wits against The ruthless Libyans
In tbeir own deserts, outwitting them
at last by' paralysing their mounted
raids splth bathed wire, which he laid
by the hundred' miles, at a coat tor

That conquest earned him the highest
praise from Bmtllo de Bono, then

WHEN THE DARK ANGEL RIDE8
The motor vehicle in no reBpector
of persons.
Hardly u week passes without newspaper
headlines telling of the sudden
death of some statesman, industrial
leader or other celebrity.
A few recent names on the roster
of those who died because of careless*
ly or recklessly driven motor vehicles,
comes readily to mind. Not long ago,
Colonel T. E. Shaw, the famed "Lawrrence
of Arabia," was killed wheu he
fell from his motorcycle, which he
was driving at 8p miles an hour. Only
a week or two ago the wife of the
Secretary of Interior perished when
the car in which she was riding at
high speed 'Skidded in loose gravel
and overturned. Just before, the
beautiful Queen Astrid of Belgium met
her death?when her husband, driving
the roadster in which she was riding,
looked away from the highway at a
road map, and ran headlong into a
tree.
Those tragedies become known in a
million households, because of the
prominence of the victims. But they
are no worse, no more tragic, than
the thousands of similar deaths which
occur annually and make, instead of
headlines, a mere item on an inside
page of the newspapers. Recklessness,
carelessness, incompetence?
these are the scarlet trinity, which
cause so much needless grief, so much
unnecessary suffering, so great an
economic waste. When one of them
takes the wheel, death rides, too. The
Dark Angel does not always strike?
but there 1b a limit to how long he
can be withheld.
Care, caution,- competence?these
constitute the trinity which can prevent
automoible accidents, major and
minor ones alike. The issue must be
put squarely up to each driver?it is
purely an Individual problem, and will
always remain so. Traffic laws and
enforcement can do nothing If the public
will not cooperate. Will you?

Will Rogers' Visit To
City Of Greenville
I)r. D. M. Ramsey, In Baptist
<-purler i
On the occasion of Will Rogers'
visit to Greenville some years ago
to lecture iu the auditorium of the
Rotary Club, we Invited him to take
dinner lu the dining room with the
student body. He camp and was with
us long enough to make a talk, but
us a dinner was to be given him at
the hotel after his lecture he could
not oat two meals. Severul very Interesting
things are' remembered
about his visit and his remarks.
He urged the girls In his inimitable
way to get a good education. He assured
them that a college education
possessed much practical value for
them. He Bald they could get on in
the world bettor with au education
than without it; that he had no education
himself and hence had to make
his living by going around the country.
He suggested that with a good education
they could teach school, make
money, and get a husband; that ihey
could go to London and buy a lord
for u husband, who were popular with
American girls and could he bought
cheap now.
He told the girls that he was not
much in his home over in California.
He assured the young ladies that
Hollywood was not a good place to go
to get a husband, that wives didn't
last long out there, that he was the
only man in the place who had the
same wife he started with.
At the end of the informal talk,
girls and women crowded around him
in the dining room to shake his hand
and iearn something of his personal
life, especially about his family. He
remarked that he never prepared a
lecture, but Just got what he said out
of the newspapers. A good mother
asked Rogers if his boys were humorous
and he replied that one little fellow
seemed to have some sense of
humor.
Just anything concerning the personal
appearance and ways of an outstanding
public figure like Will Rogers
is interesting, especially as reminiscenses.
. v .? .
In private conversation he used his
professional stage method, waggish
and defective colloquial English. Yet
he was most deferential and cordial,
faultlessly groomed and wearing admirably
tailored suits with every detail
of dress in perfect taste.
. Now that he has reached "the end
of the trail" in such a touching tragedy,
it is not out of place to call attention
to some of the elements of
power and charm of America's fair- N
orite. He was the great commoner,
unspoiled by fame, weARl) ,and humor.
He reviewed jic deeds of the great
with the touches of the wag blended
with the Insight Of a'philosopher. He
1 made merry over the daily delate of
men in the limelight of the nation's
affairs and yet,ever, a stranger to,the'
wasp-like st|ng ,of the cynic.
His genial soul ever lived in the
house by the side of the road; and
over-the whole nation every traveler
counted Will Rogers his friend... ; I
see that my friend*, J. Whltcombe
Brougher, of Los Angeles, is to lay
the last "sprig of acacia"" on his
casket, a speaker who is so charmingly
fluent and eloquent that someone
has said that Dr. Brougher* Is
the man with /the "self-cocking Jaw."
May his gracious words lift all men
into that realm of genial brotherhood
where Will made his home.
