Eautfi birth, she said, was unattended. "I performed what surgery was needed with a pair scissors," she said. "Each baby cried, but I choked off their cries with my hands so that no one could hear. Then I knelt beside the bathtub and held the baby under water 20 minutes until I was sure it had drowned." Then, she said, she placed each baby in a small cardboard, box and put each box in the linen chest. She knew, she said, that some day she would be discovered, so the presence of the bodie&-in three days off, after which "she returned to her job; She refused to identif y the fathers, but said two of the children chil-dren were by the same father.

Scfailliri rUT WAR STAMPS ON YOUR SHOPPING LIST Illinois, Michigan and Iowa followed fol-lowed Indiana in mid-March, and the Missouri, Nebraska, Wisconsin Wiscon-sin and Colorado legislators were immediately confronted with similar sim-ilar resolutions. But the Colorado legislature now has adjourned without completing action on the proposal. The ' field of states in which such a resolution now could be considered is diminishing so rapidly rap-idly that it appears unlikely that any substantial number will be able to go on record against a fourth term for President Roosevelt Roose-velt before next year's election. Of the 45 state legislatures which were in session last January, Janu-ary, more than 25 already have adjourned and some of the remainder re-mainder are Democratic in one or both houses. Only seven are scheduled to meet in 1944: Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia, South Carolina, Rhode Island, New York, and New Jersey. As it stands now, the four states which have adopted such a resolution represent 70 electoral votes. Wendell L. Willkie carried Indiana, Iowa and Michigan in 1940 but Mr. Roosevelt carried Illinois. Chairman Frank C. Walker of the national Democratic committee commit-tee returned yesterday from a swing across the country counselling coun-selling Republicans and Democrats Demo-crats alike to 'go slow on talk about 1944 candidates. "Democrats over the country," he said, "seemed to feel that this was not the time to be discussing 1944 candidates. They felt that so many things could happen next year that it would be' foolish to discuss candidates now." " Walker suggested a short 1944 campaign, perhaps limited to September Sep-tember and October. miles southeast of here Tuesday night.

Sea water now can be made drinkable through a simple chemical chemi-cal formula, Dr. Alex Goetz of the California Institute of Technology Tech-nology revealed today after a year of intensive ' research. The process is a military secret, but Dr. Goetz said it was "as simple as pouring water from one sea boot to another." Two containers and they could very well be actual sea boots, he said are necessary. One container is used for precipitating pre-cipitating poisonous materials from the salt water by means of a chemical. About twq hours later, Dr. Goetz explained, the sea water, wa-ter, .except that containing the precipitate, is poured into the ether container, further clarified and then is ready to drink. Dr. Goetz described the chemical chemi-cal used as a combination of colloidal col-loidal materials. A waterproof container about the size of a package pack-age of cigarettes would hold enough to purify about two quarts of water, he added. He estimated men could survive on exclusive use of sea water purified puri-fied by this process for as long as 25 days. rv -1 atfus mi r m f.j - fl I S i 1 M ti m for 17c The white soa( for whiter washes 25c A super-hard rivet strong enough to replace bolts on aircraft air-craft or other structures will effect ef-fect a 60 per cent weight reduction reduc-tion in relation to the equivalent bolts and rivets previously used.
