Now only one remains to glide In solitary grace over the pictur esque park ponds. The big white birds were Intro duced 10 years ago, but two of them soon arched their necks and hammered and drummed the life from each other. The flock might have recouped Its losses, but for the aim of small boys throwing stones toward "blessed events." IS I (Continued from page one) Hllile Kills Two . OEOROETOWN, Cal., Aug. 17.

Eat You Way to Health the Ladino Way Use following statement concerning La Batt's kidnaping: "He was blindfolded and had been continuously blindfolded since the time he was taken. He wag left In the vicinity of Forest Hill' village, from where he took a taxi to the Royal York hotel (where Hugh await ed him). "He was Immediately carried from there, by his own friends, in a car to London. "At the time of his release he drove between five and six hours, he thinks, but his judgment Is that of a man blindfolded. "He also thinks the kidnapers were killing time in the latter drive In waiting for darkness. At the time of his capture, he drove around for a time which he estimates at 13 hours. He was In Ontario all the time. He has knowledge of having passed over any water. . "For aom reason, those who took charge of him failed to notify either Toronto or provincial police. No Hot Trull "His arrival resulted In a lack of co-opefation between the authorities and his friends. There Is no hot trail of the abductors. It Is most unfor tunate that the police forces of both the province and the city have been very seriously handicapped In their work by their Inability to secure com plete control of the situation. "Mr. LaBatt arrived at London at 3:45 a. m. today. In this office there is no knowledge as to what financial arrangements, If any, have been made between the friends of the captured man and the criminals. Whateever ar rangement was made did not come either from Hugh LaBatt or his ao llcltor, Mr. Ivey. "We are now clearly certain that the contract made In Toronto waa . genuine one. I might add that Mr. LaBatt 's eyes were closed with ad' healves and glasses drawn over the tape. When let out of the car he waa told not to remove either the tape or the glasses .until the auto had moved on." , ALIBI FOR CROW OFFERED AT QUIZ E ATTEND SERA CLASS SALEM, Aug. 17.
