Tibet Waits For Baby Who Shall Become A God

Air France Orders:

LARGEST-EVER LINERS FOR

CHANNEL

AIRWAY

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

British services worked by two companies, Imperial Air- ways and Hillmans Airways, with luxury Iners, 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 horas-power, four-engined giants, capable of at least 180 mp.h. Undercarriago 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.

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, a reincarnation of the former holder of the office.

The leading 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 when the chance presents itself.

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

It is then that the serious task begins of deciding which of these interesting infants possesses the soul of the Dalai Lama who has died.

The chief test is a close scrutiny of a certain mark that every boy 'n Tibet bears on his shoulder

On October 30, 1926, Charles Vance Millar, Toronto, Jawyer 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-blade. ing his death.

For months now four women have bean boasting 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 proter (Italian) in Toronto Police Court;

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

Mra, Gruzinno, wife of an Italian labourer.

It is a sun burn produced by

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

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