have been subjected to the direst
kind of poverty and are on re-
lief now. Two years ago a rat at
tackled and killed one of their
twin baby boys while he was Sleep
ing in his crib. Mrs. Kenny has
never quite recovered from the
shock of that sordid tragedy.
Lillian Kenney'S eyes are small,
dark and set rather close together.
They have the gleam and intensity
of the eyes of some small woods
animal. After a look at those
eyes one is not surprised at Mrs.
Kenny'S claim of possessing super
natural powers. She declares that
on several occasions in the past
few years she has been in communt-
cation with the spirit of Charles
Vance Millar, who gave Toronto
it's Maternity Marathon. But she
refuses to divulge the nature of
the message she obtained from
him.
She said mySteriously:
"I'm not saying anything now.
But just wait until later"

talented and goes in big way for

'of hers has been born in Toronto
and that as much cannot be
said for some of the others.
The most unusual of all the
maternity marathon contestants is
fiery, talkative Mrs. Lillian Kenny,
who claims to be only 80, and the
mother of 13 children, of whom
only six are living today. She is
praying for the arrival Of quin-
tuplets before October 81, predicts
it will be twins, and devoutly
hopes that at least one addition
to her household will get to To-
ronto under the wire"
Already the mother Of three
sets of twins, Mrs. Kenny has IL
children-six of them dead-eli-
gible in the "Stork Derby" At
least, that's her score, according
to her way of figuring. Those lin
the know" however, assert that
Mrs. Kenny is going to experience
great difficulty in establishing au-
thentic proof of the birth of at
least two.
A French-Canadian by birth, Mrs.
Kenny is married to bald, paunchy
Matthew Kenny, 20 years older
than herself, and of Scotch-IriSh
descent. The KennyS for years

Another hobby is carving figures
from wood, all of which bear re-
markable resemblances to the sub
jects-mostly public officials
whom she sculptures. Her small,
vine-covered brick house at Ill
Peter Street. is filled with wood
carvings of Millar.
She is the dominating char
acter in her household. The
other seven members Of the
family-with the exception of
"Flossie," the dog, who has had
102 pups in nine yearS-makes
themselves scarce when Mama
Kenny takes the floor. But they
listen carefully when she calls.
If Mrs. Kenny puts in a raucous
order for one of the two electric
light bulbs in the house, she
gets it-and with dispatch!

SHADES OF HANGED
PIRATES LOSE HAUNT

LONDON. June 16.-Shades of
many old-time pirates who closed
their careers at the end of stout
ropes will feel personal losses at
the closing of one of Eondon's
historic hostelries, The Turk S
Head.
Its back steps Tapped by the
Thames, the Turks Head for 400
years has been a hangout for sea-
faring Manufacturing pirates. 1t
offered a convenient landing, a
sudden gateway.
But it was the pirates who fin
ally ran second to the law who
could claim the greatest sentiment
tai attachment to the ancient
pub. Over its bar they enjoyed
their last "can of bitter"
En- route to the gallows, the
condemned sea-rovers were per-
mitted to stop for one final quart
no more, no less. 1t was sup
piled by the Tuk's Head under a
contract with the government.
1t brought a pleasant break in
the procession and gave the mis-
creant an opportunity to tell his
cronies where he'd be seeing
them.

Editor, The Citizen,

Just my luck after three years

striving in every way to procure
the bridges, and it happened while

happened is all l was interested
in.
l miss my guess if Key West

in Key West is avoid boom.
You would be surprised how
familiar the people here in Column

carried half page cut showing
the railroad, and how the bridges
will become an automobile high

putting up a fight against fraud

honest voting is bad enough. Don't
give up the fight.
The vote on the governor sure
ly was a great surprise to me. |
never heard of Petteway, and
scarcely Of Mr.. Cone. However,
l believe the people Of Florida
are getting tired of politicians
and are now seeking the man.
That is a good sign.
The Republican Convention is
in session in Cleveland, and l had
hoped to spend a day or two
there. The newspapers and radio
these days are so efficient, one
does not need a personal attend
ance.
Well, half Of my vacation is
over, and it may be that | will
turn my face Key Westward
pretty soon.
You know, there is funny at
traction about Key West. You
feel like you are tired of it all
and want to get away for awhile.
and it is not very long before you
are anxious to get back. There's

ing of those bridges and l sup
pose by the time we get back,

ries.

Benefit Dance For

One of the first efforts to
ra:se money for the community
fund to continue medical service
and direct relief for the poor,
will be made at the Saturday
night dance at Rauls.
When Raul Vasquez, owner of
the night club, was asked wheth-
er he would be willing to turn
over one nights door receipts, he
stated that he would be more than
glad to cooperate in any manner
and that he believed Key West
would be most unfortunate to
lose the services which can be
continued with a little coopera-
tive effort.
The dance is being sponsored
by the local citizens advisory
committee of which Mrs. w. R.

viii attend inasmuch as the gate

Senator La Toilette, one of the
authors of the bill, says that per

The tax bill has been the sub
ject of numerous conferences in
an effort to smooth over differ
ences between the Senate and the
House and determined attempt
will be made to wind up the az
fairs OF Congress this week. The
bone of contention, apparently. is
the House provision which fol-
lowed the Presidents recomnen-
dation for very high taxes on I'M
distributed surplus, running as
high as forty two and one-half
per cent. On the theory that reten-
ton of earnings in corporate sur
pluses enabled some shareholders
to avoid payment of surtaXes on
their incomes. The senate pro-
vided only a flat seven per cent
tax on all undistributed SURPRISES,
no matter what their size. and re-
tanned the existing principle Of a
corporate income tax, which was
rejected by the House.

Republican vote was TAT, 293,061
and the Democrats total, 131, $780,
542. The Republican who re-
ceived the most electoral vote
was Herbert Hoover, with 404 in
1928, and the high scorer for the
Democrats was Franklin ID. Roose-
welt with 472 in 1892. During this
period, Lincoln and Woodrow
Wilson were distinctly minority
presidents, both having been elect
ed as the result Of party divisions.
Other minority presidents, based
on a count of the votes for minor
parties in the total, include
Cleveland and Wilson in 1916 for
the Democrats and Garfield and
Hayes for the Republicans.
Referring to candidates, during
the last eighty years, Ohio has
been the favorite state from
which the Republicans have made
their selections and New York
has furnished most of the Demo-
cratic choices. Seven times the
Republicans went to Ohio for
their candidate. four times to IL
linois, three to California, twice
to New York and once to Maine
and Massachusetts, each. The
Democrats have taken an Empire
State candidate eight times,
have gone to Nebraska and
New Jersey three times, twice
to Pennsylvania, and once each to
Illinois, Kentucky and West Vir-
ginia. In the period covered by
the survey, only six candidates
have come from west of the Mis-
sissippi River and until the cleo
ton of Mr.. Hoover in 1928. no one
from that great section of the
Union had ever been chosen presi-
dent.

nominees, largely due to the two

the Democrats have taken three
