ST0RK DERBY
PRIZE HANGS
ON ! BIRTHS

TORONTO, Ontario, Oct. %
GN.S0.-Two Toronto women are
preparing for early births that
may decide the $4,000 Millar
Will Stork Derby, which ends
October 81.
Mrs. Grace Bagnato last night
entered Mount Sinai Hospital
for the birth of her tenth child
in the last ten years.
Mrs. Matthew Kenny, reputed
leader in the race, is expecting
her thirteenth eligible child be-
fore the end of the month.
II Mrs. Kenny can prove her
claims, she easily will lead the
contenders now known.
Must Register Births
Under the terms of the Millar
will, mothers must register their
births. So far Mrs. Kenny has
been unable to prove that she
has done this. Therefore, her
leadership has been partly dis
counted. AS a result the conten-
ton centerS between Mrs. Kenny
and Mrs. Bagnato and several
other mothers who claim ten eli
gible children.
Today it was revealed that law
yerS are rushing negotiations for
an agreement to split the $4,000
among the leaders. This has been
mooted for months and gained fur
ther support when Mrs. Bagnato
changed her mind and agreed to
enter the pact, but Mrs. Kenny
still refused to negotiate, saying:
"I'm sure I'm the winner. No,
/ stand by myself"
FIND DARK HORSE
Another dark horse has been
discovered. She is Mrs. James
Meldrum, 33-year-old wife OF
an unemployed paperhanger, who
claims to have nine eligible chill
dren. Toronto newspapers have
revealed the identity of Mrs. K.
another contender, as Mrs. Pauline
Clark, who claims 10 eligible chill
dren-five born before her nus
band deserted her.
Mrs. Arthur Timleck, another
contestant, is keeping constant
vigil in hospital here over her
tenth eligible child, now three
months old. The baby is suffer.
ing from intestinal flu.
Attempted exploitation of the
Millar fortune or the contending
mothers may be met with drastic
action by the provincial govern
rnent, it was limited today.
Some government officials are
reported to feel that the derby
stake may be dissipated through
unnecessary lawyers fees and
lengthy litigation. To prevent
this, the possibility doomed that
the government may intervene IN
event participants and official
referees are unable to reach an
amicable settlement.

Hopes 10 Avoid Strike
In Glass Shops Fade

PITTSBURGH, Oct. % Q.N.SO.
Although negotiations between
the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Com
pany and the Federation of Flat
Glass workers are continuing,
Glen W. McCabe, president of the
unoin, today indicated there was
little hope of averting a strike.
The chief bone of contention
now is the unions demands for
closed shop. Wage-increase de-
mands have not yet been dis
cussed. McCabe said field workers
were standing by at the plants in
Creighton and Ford City, Pa;
Barberton, Ohio, and Crystal, Mo,
awaiting word to proceed with a
strike.

STATE GAME DEPARTMENT
FIGHTS STREAM POLLUTION

Stream pollution, the ruination of
angling in many eastern states,
must be curbed in Washington to
protect sport fishing, the State
Game Department advises in max
ing a plea for cooperation in it's
anti pollution fight.
In conjunction with the problems
of industrial pollution, the State
Game Department has just COM
pleted number of experiments
that more clearly define the DAM
ages caused by coal and sawdust
washings dumped into fishing wa
tiers. Results of this pollution have
been dead trout in some cases,
weakened fish, ruined spawning
beds, and destruction Of fish foods
caused by abrasive action of the
waste upon rocks and boulders
upon which cling many microscop-
ic plants that form a major por-
ton of the fish diet.
Post mortems have shown that
the same abrasive action of the
waste material has killed fish by
rubbing from their gills the mucous
slime through which the fish abb
sorb oxygen necessary for their
systems.
Following State Game investiga-
lions of recent weeks, two large
mills have ceased dumping saw
dust into public waters and have
substituted incinerators, and two
coal mines have installed filtration
systems so that nothing but clear
water passes from the mines into
fish inhabied waters.
Employing of raw sewage into
streams is a problem becoming more
serious each year, game officials say.
With the population of cities stead
lily increasing, the sewage no longer
is sufficiently diluted in slow NOV
ing streams.
The State Game Department is
also battling pollution caused by
careless individuals throwing debris
into public waters. While little &C
tual damage to fish is ever caused
in this manner, nevertheless it is
described as scenic liability to the
clear streams of Washington.

A BRITISH BASE AT TRINIDAD

British sloop is said to be taking
soundings off the coast of Trinidad and
the thought is expressed that the British
are planning to establish a naval base
The very idea will send suspicion
tingling up and down the spines of the
members of the anti-British associations in
this country and we will probably hear
more about this nefarious enterprise in
time.
Trinidad, just off the coast of Vene-
zuela, possesses great asphalt lake and
its larger neighbor has inexhaustible sup
plies of oil. The British, it is said, would
like to be in position to control the sea
lanes to both places in order to assure
adequate petroleum for the fleet.
Personally, we can't get up much
steam about the report. If the British fleet
needs oil, and must have it from Vene-
zuela, we can imagine no reason in the
world why the people of this country
would object to the British getting pc
troleum products from Venezuela.

HERE'S A SCHEME THAT PUZZLES US

Quite frankly we have never been
able to understand the bankers worries,
especially the present stress over excess re-
serves, and we do not hesitate to admit that
our knowledge of banking is limited Any
discussion of the intricate matters connect
ed with making profits out of handling
other peoples money is pure speculation,
so far as we are concerned, and yet there
are phases of the problem that intrigue u.s.
For example, the excess reserve panic
that moves the beings of most large bank
ers, who are, even now, trying to figure out
plan, suggested by S. Sloan Colt, president
Of the Bankers Trust Company, would
$2,00O,00O,O0O and use the money to buy
gold certificates from the Federal Reserve
banks, thus getting that much gold and
putting the gold in a special sterilization
fund where it could not be used for credit
NApoth9lOH DuC OIIly W HIcSC LulOpS u0-
mand for the return of some of the gold
that continent has shipped here.
Whether you understand what the
scheme is, or not, we have outlined it cor
rectly, if briefly The treasury would bor-
row two billion dollars, buy gold GER
tificates in order to get title to the gold
and segregate the precious metal The
banks, taking the loan, would have their
reserves lowered because none of the funds
would come back into the market. So
what? Here it is: the government would
pay interest OH two billion dollars borrow
ed money, gotten from the banks, just for
the pleasure of reducing excess reserves
and putting some gold in special fund
Naturally, we do not blame bankers
for wanting two billion dollars of reserves
put into earning assets, and our ignorance
is SO great that we hesitate to suggest that.
maybe, after all, the government might not
find it profitable to pay interest on that
amount just to set aside some gold in a
special pile. However, it may be that the
scheme is exactly what the country needs
and would pay the government a hand
some return-this may be the case, but we
doubt it.

AN EXPENSIVE GUEST

Count Illya Tolstoy of Russia, when
lecturlng in America a few years ago. had
a thrifty manager, who did not propose to
allow the Count to lend his presence to any
function without pay. SO when a group
of Chicago professors sought to honor the
Count by inviting him to luncheon, the
manager wired an acceptance, but stip-
ulated that a fee of $50 would be charged.
The Hospitality inclined professors
were at first dumbfounded by the sugges-
ton that they must pay $50 for the priv
ilege of entertaining the Count. After con-
sultation they delegated one of their num-
Der to reply to the manager, which he did
in the following telegram:
How do you get that way? We
might be able to afford breakfast or a.
chocolate soda with the Count. What is
your scale for tea and toast with Tolstoy?
Also go jump in the lake
A pleasing part of the story is that
Count Tolstoy later told it on himself and
exhibited the telegram to amused news
paper men.
