Midwife Delfino wrapped the babies in cotton wool, bedded them down with hot-water bottles. There was no miraculous Dr. Dafoe, hardly any trouble. Papa Diligenti hurried back from Córdoba. After five days he took the mother and three of the babies home, the others two days later. Remembering the Dionne circus with horror, he swore the midwife to secrecy.

In Salt Lake City, the National Wool Growers Association was grimly...
...wool stockpile problem at Denver last week was only a forerunner of many other and much larger problems that will result from the monstrous stocks of raw materials and finished goods in Government warehouses when war ends. The woolgrowers' nightmare is a sudden end of the war, which will scuttle prices if the foreign wool is dumped on the market.
