Emilie, Cecile, Annette and Yvonne right into its tremendous and pal- pitating bosom, and just loved them each and overy one. . _ A similar eminence has ‘been sc- corded to Mrs. Dionne, as we have indicated. She has been given King George's bounty of five pounds sier- ling. she has been hailed as the finest type of womanhood; and a broadcaster the other night linked her name with Madame Critic's as i l age. It is high praise and no one would call it in question. Our concern is that all this recog- nition is American.

The Hen’s Protest (Ottawa Journal) m the olddays a hen was a hen, nobotb‘ paid much attention to a hen unless it were a chicken and- well roasted. and an egg, generally! 809F111!!- was an egg until it be- came what now is known as a baby chick The farmer didn't identify his hens as indivuals. never knew the ones that laid. seldom knew where they laid. Somebody. every two or three days would go out with a pail to "gather the eggs" from odd corners about the barns. when "company" was coming for dinner the hired man caught and killed s. chicken, and if it happened to give evidence of having been a “laying" hen it was too bad but how could anyone know? mcieases in the flock were more or l accidental. A wary old hon wou d find a hiding place under the barn or in a secluded corner of the straw stack, lay there a "setting" of eggs, disappear from the sight oi men until she emerged presently with s 1 ...., of fluffy y- ‘ - Thus the lien population maintain- ed and all was well. Surplus eggs went to the store to be traded for oatmeal and sugar and other essen- tials, weie a factor in the family's economies, but the farmer was whole business and prgtty much left the hens to his wife. There came a time, however, when the hen became a serious item in the farmer's calculations: when B888 Wachcd a figure that made them potential factors in pay- ing taxes and_ meeting the interest on the mortgage. The hen hence- forth was treated with a new res- pect. and in the more scientific agricultural circles was named, numbered, banded. and registered. The hennery gradually was equipped with iicubato and patent nests, and hens once caught up by this rsgimentation no more might mam the barnyard foot-loose and fancy- free. Records were kept to sort out the non la he I Won't Works mittin, survival of the fittest great ‘nitrides were made in biz-produc- on. ‘ But even the lowly hen at last is “‘ protest against the ruthless farm.

' ff there is any moral. in this storv it =is that even a hen can be driven u... l? the quintuplets, and done it thor- minion lagged s little? The thought is a worrying one. All the more so as lee enthusiasm in New Yolk seems to be a little in- piste, and not to swing from a proper estimate of the values in- volved in the phenomenon cf the Quintublets. Mrs. Dionne has been givm world-wide recognition, end a secure place in history, for her part in what took place. Dr. Dafoe goes to New York, and is- s big shot before he even steps off the train. He lectures to the elite and to the dimmer bulbs as well. He is taken to museums. and csrabets and shown ancient eggs part in what took place. All fair enough too. But surely there is something missing in all this. There are two sides to every story; and the second side to a feat like quintuplets can be no slouch either. How much, in all that has been printed, has been said about m. Dionne? Little enough. Arid yet his part in what look place was supreme. Why not give a cheer for m. Dionne? ‘Without ‘Mr. Dionne there would have been no Cecile. Annette, Emilie, Yvonne, or Marie, either singly, or in s. bun h. Mr. Dionne d something that the men oi science have only partly elucidated. Heme/do an extraor- dinaryrun with the low-numbers in "' ‘inn llonne produced not only five dren, but five children of the some sex, and the sex deiorininist experts would regard that as an event of suffi- cient interest to get s special rating of its own. Arid the credit for this, as we understand-(which is little) —these obscure and dark matters, must go to Mr. Dionne. The odds at the crucial moment. the experts assert, are in favor o! boys and against girls ‘in the ratio of 1m to 100: and the event is de- cided, just as the toss of a coin is decided. by almost pure chance. With the ” lQlinst him of begetting even one girl, Mr. Dionne by a perfectly amazing stroke, gets five girls at a. simple throw: a re- verssl of the normal odds that is almost miraculous. We cannot g8 deeper info the science of the thing, but ‘Mir. Dionne’s contribution to Ontario's quintuplets is both capital and maior. He is the only man to have got five of a kind in the most complicated gamble in the world. When were girl quiniaiplets con- ceived and born before? Probably not in a thousand years. Perhaps never. . Mrs. Dionne bore them. and that is a fest worthy of all the enthu- siasm disolsyed in New York. out please do not forget that it was lb‘. Incline who tlsew the dice and nor ms.
