nine of them born in the desig-
mated decade, this voluble Ital-
ian mother insists she would like
to see the woman who has given
birth to more babies than she
has"
Mrs. Florence Brown, DC and
gray-haired, has given birth to
more children than any other
contestant-27-with Is Of them
living, but unfortunately she can
muster only four since October,
1926.
But you never can tell what
might happen" says Mrs. Brown,
pointing to the Dionne blessed
event.
INCIDENTALLY, if one word had
Il beer different in the Millar will,
there would be no doubt as to who
would get the half-million. But
Mr.. Millar wrote Toronto, and not
Ontario, as the locale of this
amazing race, this eliminating the
Dionnes.
A sturdy contender for the Mil
lar prize is Mrs. Ambrose Harri-
son, wife of a Toronto transporta-
ton commission employe. Shes
one of the favorites for strong
finish, the mother of IA, eight of
whom have been born inside the
time limits of the contest. Two
sets of twins are included in her
family.
An air of mystery surrounds the
claims of Mrs. Steffano Darrigo,
wife of a fruit merchant. The
Darrigos are near bankruptcy and
count strongly on the prize money
to put them on their feet again.
Since Mrs. Darrigo announced
that she had given birth to 10
children since 1926, she has adj
mitted that two or three of
them" were prematurely born and
had not reached the % weeks de-
velopment necessary before they
can be registered. This technical
point may cost her chance at
the prize money.
DISAPPOINTMENT came to the
home of William Thomas Jasper,
whose wife was heralded as pos
sible winner, when it was discov-
cred that Joan had been born in
1925 instead of 1926 Another
child. Lillian, was born just a
month before Millar died, another
bad turn for the JaSpers.
Mrs. Jasper has nine children,
five of them eligible in the con-
test.

Your Health

rACH wear the Journal of the American Medical
T. Association makes available records of the num-
Der of deaths from dphtheria in foremost American
cities.
AS has been repeated again and again in these
columns diphtheria is disease of which the cause
is known for which have method OF deter
mining whether person is likely to catch it II eX-
posed to it, for which we have a specific method OF
prevention, and for which there is specific method
of treatment.
If everybody recognized the value of these meth
DDS and took advantage of them, it is quite likely
that diphtheria could be completely stamped out IN
the United States within the next two generations
However, some persons still will not avail them
selves of what science has to offer In some parts
of the country there seem to be more of these than
in others
TINE figures just collected and made available for
4 1884 show that diphtheria has continued to
decline in the New England and South Atlantic
states that it has increased slightly in the Middle
Atlantic and east north central regions, but that
the east south central states have not been able to
equal the steady decline in dphtherla rates tnat mas
taken place in other parts of the country.
Most of the west north central and west south
central states have also been able to lower their
rates considerably
Specifically. there were IS cities in the United
States without death from diphtheria in 1884.
These were Cambridge, Canton. Duluth, Ehzaoetn.
Grand Rapids Long Beach, New Bedford, New
Haven Salt Lake City, Seattle, South Bend, Spo-
kane Springfield, Syracuse and Utica.
There are also six cities whose diphtheria death
rates steadily declined from 1890 through 1884 Iney
are Baltimore Cincinnati, Hartford, jersey Clty'
New York and Philadelphia.
BOSTON has recently had the lowest dphtheria
d rate in the country, but the rate for Somervle,
Mass near Boston, Is of the 10 highest.
The group of cities with the highest rates are IN
the east south central states and include Blrmlng-
ham. Memphis, Louisville Chattanooga, Knoxville
and Nashville. Apparently campaign OF educa-
ton and control is necessary in these areas.
The value of such campaign is indicated by the
benefit obtained from one by the city Of Chicago,
where the rate for 1858 was III, but where the
average from 1930-34 only 43.
Again it should be emphasized that diphtherla -
amenable to scientific control and that every COM
munity should do its utmost to apply scientific mea-
sures in stamping out this disease

us to realize, after all these years,
that we were on the right track all
the time.
True, in my case. the athletic
development has been slow but that
may mean either of two things. 1t
may mean that the raw material
was not the stuff that champions
are made of or that I didn't smoke

brands. If it is the former there is
nothing to be done about it but
if the latter. the trouble could be
