TORONTO. Ont, Oct. 81. U.P)-
The prospect Of a second 1O-year
maternity marathon" to follow the
S75O.0O0 birth race which ends sat
urday gave Toronto something to
think about today.
Mrs. Martin Kenny, who claims
leadership in the current marathon
on the strength of what the cards

were declared winner she would
set aside 100000 for the second
race.

Il think it would be nice TO give
mothers who did not have a chance
to win anything in this last 10
year period a chance to win some
money, and am sure my race Will

The marathon, started by Charles
Vance Millar, wealthy Toronto
sportsman who willed his estate to
the Toronto mother who should
produce the most babies in the 1C
years after his death, has caused
legal controversies which, it appear
ed, only the courts could settle.

declaration of neutrality and the
possibility that the Little Entente"
states, French allies, may follow
suit.
Soviet Russia's new air policy,
while not outlined in detail, will be
based on two fundamentals, it was
understood: Equality with Ger
many in European Russian, and
superiority to Japan in the Far
East.
The general staff in Moscow long
has been convinced that it would
have to fight Germany and Japan,
if at all, simultaneously. The Rus
slams believe there is, if not a
treaty alliance, surely a military
working agreement between Tokyo
and Berlin. Both are accused OF
having designs on Soviet territory.
At present, Russia is believed to
have an air force of approximately
5000 planes. Many of them are
obsolete. Japan's effective air
strength is 2,100 ships. Germany
has made secret of its air
strength, although it is known to
have been increased greatly within
the last year.

pillow feathers. Later they were
paraded through santa Rosa
streets. One of the victims was
forced to kiss the American flag.

The action followed unrest
