No .less than three ladies have attention of the. Advance , what uie^ term a serious error In a recent ioSue of this newspaper.' They .say' that the Advance ‘told jpbout two. pairs, sets, or groups, of Wins , being born recently at .Smiith Rock Falls, while theltriith as. the ladies -see it is that the said pairs, ■*ets or groups, of twins were, bom Iff Twin Falls. The one lady speaks in sorrow—sorrow that the Advance should make a .mistake. The second _lady speaks in__anger—-anger__that. .Smooth Rock Fails should get the eredit, rightly due to, Twin Falls. Th.e third lady speaks—in pure impish­ ness. Heaven bless her! And help —her.—— -----g~/—— • If three men found fault with/the Advance, well, that would simply be three men finding jiauit! .But with three ladies it is different! What to do ? Well, what can be-done about twins, except to accept the inevit­ able!

Never before has there beei^ . an authenticated report .of quintup­ lets all surviving to celebrate their = .first—anniversary. The Dionne quin­ tuplets are the. first to have accom­ plished this feat. For-this gratifying result we ino 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 together, to age: one, tills group of five baby girls has sue-' . cessfully overqome; risks- equivalent to those that- one female Individual meets in the , course of her first 51 jj^eara-of- life.. This staterhent^is bas- e<l .on. the inost recent life table repT ~ "resenting ^current'American mortality conditions, according to which the probability of one girl baby surviving to age one is a little over 95 per cent. The probability of five such babies, all surviving. t0 age one is the fifth •‘ power of this figure, that is 78 per, cent. . . 1' The same life table shows that the., -probability of one female newborn b.aby '.surviving to age 51 Is 78 per cent. ’ Thus, even ff we assume-as -favorable mortality for quintuplets a's for the average American child, we reach the conclusion stated .above, that in the 'first year of their life they have withstood the degree of life .risk ordinarily. met with by one female individual in the first 51 years , of her life, - . ■ Actually, these babies were prema­ turely'. born, and this without doubt gfeatly 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, we cannot raise- too highly the skill of the physician and his staff whose unflagging . efforts have preserved , these remarkable children and brought^them to- their present state of robust babyhood.. As the result of this achievement, any „one of these children considered separately has now.an expectatipn-of life of 65 years'- W we ask how long they may all • a^g^ group expect’--to -live together, the answer, computed from the life table,, is naturally, a smaller number, -namely 39 years. .This ds an average figure. Ac-1 tually they piay well do-better than that, for- they; seem to be iff splendid^ health, and, as wards of? the King, will - continue to ' receive excellent „c,are..,_. : •_..... ,-L: While the exp.ectatidn of life. gf 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 $he may be, has a £reat, expecta­ tion of. life than any random one of' them. Her .expectation’ is -83; years. < All these figures are based off 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 fhat the children are of the “identic cal kind of h.u.u.j/ivj maaviab, uxxu 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.
