Protests Father

ELSAYED HAMADA GEHESSA, Egyptianem- ployce in a small Cairo busi- ness, was the father of six children..

Now he is the father of 11-or is it right?

Elsayed sot out to seck a mid- wife. Together they hurried i back to Elsayed's wife,

A few hours later the whole dis- triet was agog with the news that Elsayed was the father of the world's second surviving tet of quins. And. like the Dionne quins, they were sold to be all girls.

Last night Elsayed stood, a pro- testing, father, on the steps of his home vainly trying to persuade a cheering crowd to go home.

"Not Quins," he shouted. "Twins!" "Eye-witnesses," believed to in- clude the midwife, testified that Elsayed's wife had given birth to quing.

But the harassed father Insisted that there were only two"Quite enough," he declared,” And he ought to know.

"Ab," muld the superstitious, "the pour mon is afraid of the Evil Eye." So there it is. Cairo says Elsayed has quins. Elsayed says twins.

If the Cairo babies are a set of Quins they are the forty-seventh to be recordci. Arturo Guzzoni, autho- rity on births, soys twins oceur once In 87 birds, triplets once in 7,103 quadruplets once in 737,000. He doesn't mention quintuplets. They are too rare.
