..Dark Horseo May Win

One month may change the rat- ing. A year is almost sure to. It may be, too, that there is a mother in the city with a larger number of children born in the last 10 years than to any of these known con- tenders-a mother who prefers to keep herself and her family un- known until nearer the finish of the race.
 Twelve months will tell the tale.

No Shoes for Child

Rosie hasn't been in Schol regu- larly this fall. It's on account of soles and uppers have come apart so that her toes show.
 The GrazianoS' chances of win- ming the $500,000 are not as bright as those of some of the other con- testants. Still, there's a chance.
 For instance, if Mrs. Graziano should increase her family as Mrs. Clarence Kitts, also of Toronto, did, it would give her clean sweep of the field.
 P Mrs. Kits had four children within 12 months = two sets of twins. The first pair were born early in the year and the second in December. The Kits family have nine children, but only five have been born since October 31, 1926, the beginning of the Baby Derby.
 In 1893, when the last baby was born, Clarence Kits, 8 chauffeur, announced emphatically, Take it from me, there won't be any more kids in this familyl"
 There haven't been.

the kitchen has some odds and ends of furniture. There are four beds in the sleeping rooms = not enough, Hilda thinks, for family of nine.
 Yearns for Home
 Moving so often, having your things put out in the street, you lose a lot. The Grazionas have just about reached the minimum.
 Hilda has to feed the family on $3.20 week. That's the relief al- lowance. A good part of it goes for bread-25 loaves week. Hilda buys four quarts of milk and now and then little meat.
 She gets vegetables that are cheap, but, mostly, the family lives on bread.
 Gus Never Finds Work
 Gus goes out looking for work now and then, but he never finds any. Hilda isn't disappointed when he comes home and tells her this. She doesn't expect him to find a job.
 Gus is 46, a naturalized citizen, born in Sicily. He worked in a fruit store when he and Hilda were married, but he hasn't worked now for 4 1-2 years.
 In spite of being out of work, he keeps in good spirits. Gus plays with the children, orders them about loudly. Sure" he says, q like kids. The more the merrier!"

very often, except on Sundays, when she likes to hear the ser- mons. She isn't religious and doesn't pretend to be, never goes to church. But she thinks the ser- mons are interesting.
 The Graziano children are: Ei- leen, 8; Sara, '; Rose, 6; Mamie, 4; Joie, 3; Sammy, 2; and George, 5 months.
 The two oldest go to school. The little ones play in the street with other children from neighboring homes, none of them very clean or healthy looking. Their playthings are boxes, pieces of rubbish, a wagon with one wheel. missing.

Disease Ideas.

1t is a common idea among the lower
races that disease is something ma
terial; and hence the simplest way of
curing the sick one is to transfer the
disease to some one else. In Northern
India, 1t is a common practice to take
some scales from one suffering from
smallpox, place them with q bunch of
flowers on a road in the hope some
one passing by may touch them, catch
the disease. and take it away from
the one who has 1t.
