receive q portion Of the money, I
have no intention of squandering
any of it. MY one ambition is to
have a nice little home Of my
own. Some of the money will be
devoted to obtaining this; the rest
will be safely invested, so that
none Of my children will lack the
comforts of life.
Children Good
In my opinion, any woman who
has a healthy family should count
her blessings. None of my children
has been a great deal Of care. They
are all good, but like every family
they have their little squabbles
among themselves. When various
statements by prominent people
were published in the newspapers,
condemning the Stork derby as
disgusting, my two eldest boys
ran to me and throwing their
arms around me cried:
Don't pay any attention to
them, Mother. We think you are
the SweIIeSt mother any guy
ever had"
It seems to be the opinion of a
great many people that because a
woman has a large number of
children, her appearance must
suffer. I do not agree with this.
I can see no reason why a woman
has to let her appearance become
sloppy or Slovenly just because
she has a large family.
BIameS LazinesS
I pride myself on the fact that,
although we never had much
money, the children and myself
are as neatly dressed and as pre-
Sentable as people who have a lot
more money than we have. When
am among strangers they will
not believe that am the mother
of IT. It is not children that ruin
a woman's appearance, it is lazi-
ness, in my opinion.
The children have proved to be
a great help to me around the
house, and all are willing to pitch
in and help me with the work. 1

Money Isn't Everything, Says
Contestant i'm StOrk Derby
Doctors Once Warned
Mrs. TimIeck She
Would Be ChiIdIess
BY ALICE TIMLECK
Contestant in Millar Will
StOrk Derby
Copyright. 1886. by King Features
Syndicate, Inc

Syndicate, Inc. }
TORONTO, Ontario, Nov. 10.
I wouldn't part with any of my
children for all the money in the
world. Those people who have in
Sinuated that I entered the Millar
Will Stork Derby with the fixed
intention of gaining money
through the birth of my children
are entirely wrong. AS a matter of
fact, I never even heard of the
Millar will until a few months
ago, when Mr.. Timleck and my
self read about it in the news
papers.
Shortly after I was married, 10
years ago, the doctors told me
that as a result of working in a
munitions factory during the war
I had injured my health and
would not be able to bear any
children. Mr.. Timleck and I then
decided to adopt a child, but a
year and a half after we were
married I gave birth to my first
child.
tOuf CnuQFen D1e0
Since then, despite the doctors
predictions, I have given birth to
II children, and I love them all.
-Four of my babies have died, and
their deaths have caused me as
much grief and anguish as If they
had been my only children. Any
woman who has borne children
will understand my feelings as I
sat by their bedsides and watched
them slip away, powerless to help
them in their sufferings.
When Baby Blanche, who was
my last born, lay fighting for her
life in the hospital, I would have
given up my entire Millar will
claim, even my right arm, if it
could have relieved the suffering
Of the tiny mite. I was at the hos
pital day and night until the hos
pital authorities were forced to
make me get some rest, and when
the baby died I was heartbroken.
Mr.. Timleck did everything hui
manly possible to help the baby
and me, and gave Blanche two
blood tranSfusionS.
In the course Of bringing up my
children I have given IL blood
transfusions to them myself, when
they we're stricken i'll.
$775,OOO Too Much
When Mr.. Timleck and read
about the Millar will we decided
to enter our claim in the hope
that if we should win the money,
we would be able to give our chill
dren better start in life. I, per-
sonally, think that $775,000 is too
much money for any one person
to have, and I am thoroughly in
agreement with the plan to di-
vide the money between the
mothers entered in the Stork
derby.
AS a family we have had our
ups and downs, and Mr.. Timleck
has undergone long periods of un-
employment, but all in all we
have been extremely happy. My
children mean more to me than
anything else in the world, and
it will be the happiest day of my
life when I am able to see them
living comfortably and enjoying a
few of the luxurieS of life.
If we are fortunate enough to |

firmly believe that every child
should be given some measure Of
responsibility to fit him for the
duties of life.
Many women have come to me
to ask how my family gets along
so well. The only thing that 1 can
tell these mothers is to be cheer
full and make the most of what
they have, and never to be par
tial to any one child.

took few puffs.
"They were both beautiful, but in
different ways. The elder was more
majestic; the younger. more graceful.
They walked by us as if we did not
exist. This seemed to annoy my
brother. The elder girl sat down and
spoke with the governess while the
younger one and the boy began toss
ing balloon back and forth. We
stood there and watched them, when
suddenly brusque movement of the
boy sent the balloon over the wall and
into the water

Jean.
