Overworked Bird Takes Own
Time In Arriving With
24th Baby For Entrant
In Race For Fortune
By Dale Harrison
TORONTO, Ont., Oct. 20. (JP) A
stoical stork circled uncertainly to
day over 1097 West Oundu itreet,
with what looked like a 1760,000 baby
In his well-known bill.
Tie tag read: "Deliver to Mri.
Grace Bagnato before Oct. 31," but
the bird we taking hU sweet time
about It.
Not that he couldn't find Mra. Bag
nato. Why, he knew Mre. Bagnato
better than Damon knew Pythias or
Boewoll Knew Johnson. He'd been to
Mrs. Bagnato'e home, he figured, of
tenor than to any other place In Can
ada: 23 times altogether.
Illamea Millar
It may hBve been that the stork
was a bit groggy from all the over
time he'd been working during the
last ten years. Hrf blamed Charles
Vance Millar for that: Charles Vance
Millar who died Oct. 31, 1826, leav
ing most of his wealth to the mother
who should show the largest number
of babies In a ten year period ending
a week from next Saturday.
The stork, wheeling leisurely
around, pondorcd. Who was Charles
Millar, a bachelor almost to the point
of being a misogynist, that he should
display such an enthusiastic post
mortal Interest In building up the
Toronto birthrate?
and If Millar had been sincere,
why hand't he been more specific?
Why, the stork ruminated, Millar
hadn't even cared If the babies lived
or died, or even and this made the
stork very sad If the mothers were
married.
The stork got to thinking about
Mrs. Bagnato down there at 1097
West Dundas. wouldn't it be nice,
he thought, if ho could do a little
something extra for her this time
twins, perhaps, or more wonderful
still, triplets?
Tie Looms
The best that one baby could do,
be knew, would put Mrs. Bagnato In
a tie with other mothers for a share
of eocentrio Mr. Millar's gold.
The stork sighed. Twins or triplets
appeared out of the question. He had
borne 23 babies to Mrs. Bagnato over
the years, but always he bore them
one at a time. Not much like that
flight he'd made May 28, 1034. to
the farmer's wife up Oallander way
what was her name? Oh, yes: Mrs.
Dlonne. The stork threw out his
xhuf (n... Mitnktlur about It.
Well, he couldn't spend much more
time flying around here doing noth
ing. He'd hoard he was supposed 'to
an hair end vet another baby for
that Mrs. Matthew Kenny who also
was trying to win tne must money.
Mrs. Kenny said she'd borne a do
n children In 10 years, but the stork
couldnt romember the exsct num
ber. Ho thought It was less: but then,
ha never pretended to be very good
at arithmetic. Let the lawyers worry
about It.
But down there at 1097 West Dun
das, with nine properly qualified tot
already to her credit, was Mrs. Bag
nato expecting.
Todays sun climbed Into the sky:
and the poor, befuddled stork still
circled uncertainly overhead.
Mil ELECTED

home of Mrs. Grace Bagnato (above)

a leading contender for the fund
willed by the late Charles Vance
Millar to the Toronto mother giving
birth to the most babies In the 10
year period following his death. One

ending October 31. (Associated

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. (UP)
Secretary of Treasury Heniy Morgen
thau, Jr., Monday denied charges of
former president Hoover that the
treasury had "Juggled" the federal
books and said that If Hoover's state
ment were permitted to go unchal
lenged it might Impair the confidence
of the public in its financial officials
with consequent detrimental effect
on the federal credit.
Implying that Hoover, In his Phil
adelphia address Friday night, had
been guilty of "loose ta.k," Morgen
tbau dented that the treasury has
resorted to double bookkeeping.
".The facts are that . the treasury
accounts are kept strictly In accord
ance with the law, and nro not based
upon any partisan pollttcal consider
ations," Morgcnthau said. ' The treas
ury submits to the congress in ac
cordance with the law an annual
report on the state of finances, and
a detailed report of receipts and ex
penditures of the government for
each fiscal year."
"When, however, a former presi
dent of the United State. In a pub
lic address, charges the treasury of
the United States with 'intellectual
dishonesty and 'pernicious deceit the
public Intrest demands that those
charges be denied.
"The citizens naturally Impute to
a former president intimate knowl
edge of the financial operations of
the government," Morgenthau said,
"and when Mr. Hoover attacks the
integrity of the public accounts, his
statements, If permitted to go un
challenged, might tend to Impair the
confidence of the public In Its finan
cial officials, with consequent detri
ment on the federal credit."
Saying that Hoover's crltllclsms
were not suportea by facts, Morgen
thau added that every change "made
by the present administration has
been In the direction of greater clar
ity and completeness In reporting the
receipts and expenditures of public
funds."
Asked what effect statements such
as former president Hoover's might
have on public confidence., Morgen
thau said the public, If It believed
the statements, might question the
advisability of holding government
bonds.
"But I might draw your attention."
he added, "to the fact that Hoover's
speech wss Friday night and that the
government bond market went up
Saturday. So did today's."
