In County Mayo, for exampte, an Irish mother has three sets of twins, two of which were bora in twelve months. Twin records are a fascinating study. The wife of aYrshr coal miner gave bir-th to twins for the third time ia 1925, Mrs. John J. Walsh, of Qusncy, Mas- sachusetts, set up a worl rec- ordi in 1948 when it was aa- nouniceçi that she had had thire', sets of twiiis in sightiy less than thre-e years- each set in the nionth of October. Another kind of twins record was achieved by a. Sicilian wm an -ho in 1947 had lier twenty- ! seonid set. Iler closest run.ner- up is an Indiani womani, oL Dur- bani, South Africa, who had five sets of twins before she was- thirty ycars old Most mothers of rmultýile twîas are ceuritry womnen. Dov- tors say that twins are vemonrn - er ainong country people be- cause' they are hardier than tondwellers.
