Air France Orders:

LARGEST-EVER LINERS FOR

CHANNEL

AIRWAY

France is building the largest high-speed airliners ever seen in Europe becausé:

British services worked by two companies, Imperial Air ways and Hillmans Airways, with luxury Eners, have between them captured practically three-quarters of the total passenger traffic on the cross-Channel routes.

The remaining quarter, is shared by French, Dutch, German, Swiss, and Belgian services.

Air France's new machines, Farman monoplanes, are to be of forty-passenger, 3,200 horse-power, four-engined giants, capable of at least 180 mp.h. Undercarriage wheels retract in flight to lesson wind resistance.

In a year French average cruising speeds on all European services, including slower lines, have risen from 109 m.p.h. to between 130 and 137 m.p.h.

*

་

British average crusing speed, taking the two main air- lines together, can be put at 114 m.p.h.

France expects her new machines will put cruising speeds up to the 160 m.p.h. mark or more.

FIVE MOTHERS IN

£100,000 BABIES

'MOST RACE

Toronto, Dec. 15.

ENTER Mrs. Arthur Timleck (Irish, and proud of it, too) into the ranks of the contestants for the oddest race in the world's history-the Toron- to Stork Marathon.

In case the words "Stork Marathon" mean nothing to you let me explain,

On October 30, 1926, Charles Vance Millar, Toronto, lawyer and sportsman, died, leaving the bulk of his estate, valued at £100,000, to the Toronto wife who became the mother of the greatest number of children in the ten years immediately follow- ing his death.

For months now four women i have been bonating that the prize will be theirs.

Those four are:-

Mrs. Matthew Kenny, French wife of a man who is of Scots- Irish parentage:

Mrs. Joseph Bagnato, an inter- preter (Italian) in Toronto Police Court;

Mrs. John Nagle, aged thirty- three and living on relief;

Mrs. Graziano, wife of an Italian Inbourer.

Mrs. Timleck's entry into the contest has upset all their plans. Mrs. Timleck claims to have had October 30, nine-children since. 1926, and is expecting another BOON,

Here is what the four other con-

testants say about the contest and

about their claims:

Mrs. Kenny: "I have had eleven

children (all living) since Mr. Millar died, and I expect a twelfth child long before next October. The prize is mine."

Mrs. Eagante: "I am not worried about Mrs. Kenny's claim.

I'm pretty sure I shall win."

"Pay Back" Plan Mrs. Nagle: "I have eight chil dren who satisfy the conditions, and I am going to win this race. We want the money, so we can pay back all the money we have had from the Relief."

Mrs. Graziano: "I have hopes that I shall win the prize because all the leaders will be disqualified for disputing. I want the prize to buy plenty of food. We do not get enough to live on."

Many attempts have been made to have Bir. Millar's will set ualde on the ground that it was only drawn up as joke, but the law courts point lo sentence in the will which seems to disprove that theory. That sentence says:-

"This will is necessarily uncom mon and capricious, because I have ao dependants or near relations, and no duty rests upon me to leave any properly at my death, and what do leave is proof of my felly in gathering and retaining more than I needed in my lifetime."

PARENTS JOIN ̧ THE NOBILITY TIBET, the vast and mys-

terious tableland that defied the conquerors of all the ages, is looking for a baby who shall be a god.

He is, according to Buddhist belief, à reincarnation of the former holder of the office.

The lending prelates of Tibet | search for a baby boy who was born as nearly as possible to the time when the Dalai Lama died.

It is the ambition of every Tibetan woman to give birth to a boy who shall become the Dalai Lama:

She and all her family are forth- with ennobled. Estates are grant- ed to them by the Tibetan Govern- ment.

There is never any lack of candi- dates whon the chance presents itself.

Chief Test

A weeding-out process soon re- duces the choice to about a dozen

babies.

It is then that the serious task begins of deelding which of these Interesting infants possesses the soul of the Dalai Lama who has died,

The chief test is a close serutiny of a certain mark that every boy in Tibet bears. on his shoulder blade.

It is a sun burn produced by a burning glass, but interposed between the burning glass and the child's shoulder is a disci of metal held at an angle which represents the shape of the moon at the time the baby was born...

moon

The child with the mark nearest to the known shape of the moon when the Dalai Lama died is judged to be his reincarnation.

The lucky youngster is then taken from the custody of his parents and carefully trained by prelates for his high office.

The parents

are usually poor peasants, but so long as their son, the new-Dalai Lama, Ilves they en joy the title of "The New Patrimony."
