Chances Are
One In 92 0f
NEW YORK, N. Y.—The chances
that a forthcoming blessed event
will produce twins are one in 92,
Tyiplets are born once in 9,400
confinements, and quadruplets
olce in 620,000 confinements, The
lizelihood of quintuplets is ex
tremely remote and that they will
live even more 0. Only two au
ihenticated crses in medical his
tory of “quints” surviving infan
ey are the Dionnes of Canada and
iae Diligentis of Argentina.
The foregoing, from the statis
licians of the Metropolitan Life
ingurance Company, is the result
¢! a study involving 36,000,000
confinements, based upon data
fromy the National Office of Vital
Statistics for the. period 1934~
1947,
The chances of a multiple birth
are shown to increase progressive
lv with the advance in age of the
mother to a maximum at ages
25-09. The probakility is about 17
in 1,000 for women in their late
“hirties, as contrasted with only 6
i 1,000 for teen-age mothers, At
¢. .y age period, the chances that
= onfinement will yield plural
- ths are greater for Negro than
..r white mothers.

POLICE LIEUTENANT'S “MAGIC LANTERN"
TRAPS YOUNG MAN WHO TRIED TO KILL
BY BROOKS HONEY CUTT
NEA Staff Correspondent
LOS ANGELES— (NEA) — A
23-ear-old colleke studen’ is in
prison today because a modern
offspring of the old-fashioned
“magic latern” helped identify
him as the man who tried to kill
a pretty Los Angeles Sunday
school teacher,
The projector, termed the
Identicast is the product of 11
years of research by Lt. Hugh
MecDonald, Los Angeles County
Seriff's office, An expert in iden~
tification, ILt. McDonald studied
the many types of noses, eyes,
hairlines, chin shapes, eyes,
mouths, and eyebrows. From
these he made up 20 line draw
ings on trasparent celluloid of
each classification.
Starting with the 20 chin shapes,
he projected the No. 1 chin, the
No. 2 chin. He kept on nnti! Miss
Marilyn Danson, 23, picked out
those which resembled her assail
ant's features most. Then came the
same procedure with the hair, then
the eyes, ears, and other varts of
a completed head.
When this was completed ,the
Identicast photographed the re
sult. Police file clerks matched
the composite with pictures in
their files. When she saw the pic
ture, Miss Danson said, “Lieuten
ant, that's the man who tried to
kill me!”
. * ¥
Less than 24 hours later, Charles
F. Hubler, a student at California
Polytechnic College, San Luis
Obispo, was arrested while at
tending a class in horticulture.
Hubler deniea the charges of rob
bery, kidnapping, and assault, but'

and the product of the Identicast.
The suspect said he was a vic

Donald ani Miss Danson did not
think so; neither did the courts
which sentenced Hubler to life
imprisonment,
Lt. McDonald has other plans
for his system, Production now is
underway on a miniature Identi
cast which will be placed in all
police cruiser cars, from which
“picture* information on suspi

numbered code to headquarters.

“The detaining officers simply
will relay numb:rs such as C-3

An officer at"headquarters will
push buttons to line up the vari

Leaf Fires Are
Hazard To Homes
And Buildings
Fire Chief W. C, Thompson,
warning that sparks from outdoor
fires can set fires to homves and
other buildings, today advised
householders not to burn dry
leaves near buildings and to guard
leaf fires until they burn out.
Sparks and airborne fire brands
are a major fire hazard because
they are frequently blown to the
roofs of houses, he said. As a
safety measure, Chief Thompson
recommended the use of fire-re
tardent asphalt shingles or other
roofing material not vulnerable to
sparks from outdoor chimneys.
According to one expert, only
four per cent of the brains of our
gleople are fit to rank as first
ass,
Nearly half the world’s olive oil
comes from Spain.

TWO LITTLE PRINCESSES
LIVING AN UN-ROYAL LIFE.
By NEA Foreign Service
SHURI, Okinawa-—- (NEA) —
This is the story of two little prin
cesses who aren’t living happily
ever after. Right mnow, in fact,
they’re living in a squalid, tum
‘bled-down orpanage, barefoot,
undernourished, wearing rags.
The two girls are Etsuko Sho,
10, and Sachiko Sho 11, They are
princesses of the royal House of
Sho, direct descendants of the Sho
kings who long ruled Okinawa be
fore the Japanese took 7wver in the
19th Cenutry. They were orphaned
when their parents were killed
during the wartime bombings.’
Now they hardly look like prin
cesses. Both are stunted in slrowth
from malnutrition. Sachiko has an
infectious skin disease, They wear
patched clothes.
And they eat the sub-standard
monotonous meals which are all
the Shuri Orphanage and old Folks’
Home can provide. Their daily
1400-calorie ration consists of rice,
soy beans, barley soup and occa
sionally a little fish,
The one thing they have is com
panionship. There are 224 other
war orphans in the orphanage.
And there are 89 old people shar
in‘i the pitiful huts of Shuri, Some
CARE packages now reach them,
as Okinawa has been added to the
list of CARE,
Sanitation and cookin%acilitles
at Shuri are primitive, The prin
cesses eat at rough-hewn wooden
tables and benches. The rice and
beans are cooked in large iron pots
over open wood fires, and are
stirred with a stick. Roaches, rats
and mosquitoes are everywhere.
The well pump in the *ompound
is broken. The orphans have to
draw the water by hand. Soap is
scarce, so washing clothes is a
luxury. . - : .
They sleep on hard grass mats
on raised platforms in huts., The
only play equipment they have
are some home-made swings and
slides. The children have to ride
down the slides with grass pillows
strapped behind. The slide is not
very smooth.
The old folks, who share the
institution with the children, have
the same rations and quarters.
There are many who were once
prosperous. . .
Among the aged women in
Shuri is Ushi Okumaura, 87. She
is the proud possessor oi a beau
tiful set of tattoos on the back of
her hands. Until about 40 years
ago, girls had their hands tattooed
when they married, like Western
girls wear wedding rings. Ushi’s
are very elaborate, and the envy
of her friends in the home. i
Now she dips her tattooed hands
in surplus Army helmets to wash.
And she sits on the green hill and
gossips with' the other old men
and women of the better days
gone by.
