JUDGE REVIEWS STORIES TOLD
BY PARENTS
Jacob Schib Must Come from Minne-
apoIls and Make Future Home in
Los Angeles in Order to Have
Possession of Daughter

With low moan of agony, Annie
Malody fell to the floor in the superior
court yesterday, following the decision
of Judge Monroe giving into the charge
of Mrs. Malody's former husband, ia
cob Schilb of Minneapolis, their 10
year-old daughter, for whose custody
the man and woman have been striv-
ing during the past six years.
Mrs. Malody was carried to a room
across the corridor, where a physician
was called, and two hours later she
was sent to the receiving hospital.
Later she became hysterical and It was
necessary to exercise force to keep her
quiet.
The contest for possession of Mildred
Schilb has been waged in the superior
court for almost month. 1t has
brought to light stories of kidnapping
by the mother and dashes across the
continent by the father in an effort to
find and take back to his Minnesota
home the child, who, by the terms of a
divorce decree seven years ago, was
given to the wife.
This is the hardest case I have ever
had to pass upon," said Judge Monroe
as he took his seat on the bench. 1.-THE
question of the present comfort and the
future welfare of a little 10-year-old
girl is involved. One of the parents is
bound to suffer, but it is my duty to
consider the best interests Of the little

Reviews Parents Movements

The court reviewed the movements of
the persons interested in the contest
from the time of the divorce in Minne-
apolis. Following that incident, when
Mrs. Schilb was given custody of the
girl and her little brother, the mother
placed the children in separate institu-
tions and left the city. Later she re-
turned and found the father had taken
the two children into his home, and
upon her request and promise to re-
turn Mildred the following day, the
child was given to her to spend a
daughter he found the mother and
child gone.
Mrs. Schilb married a man named
Johnson in Chicago few months later
and the couple, with the child, went to
New Mexico, where they met Mrs. A.
Proctor, a missionary. Later the etrio
went to Oklahoma, where Mrs. John
son secured an annulment of her mar
riage with Johnson, following the dis
covery that he already had wife liv-
ing She visited Nashville and again
met the Proctors and gave the child
into their keeping. She went to Ari-
zona and married William Malody, and
together they came to California, TAX
ing up their residence at Watts.

the father went in search of her. He
failed to find the child, however. Again

One of the daintiest of the new frocks
for small girls is here sketched. 1t will
be seen at a glance that it is rather
out of the ordinary, being made in a
charming pinafore effect, with square
neck and wide armholes, for wear over
a guimpe of contrasting material, the
gIimpe being included in the pattern.
The dress has a single box-pleat on
either side OF the front and back, and
falls in straight, unbroken lines from
the pretty yoke bands to the hem, the
front being gathered slightly across the
chest. The frock is suitable for making
in any of the soft-draping fabrics, china
silk, crepe Ge chine, nuns yelling or a
sheer lingerie material being equally
appropriate. To make it in the 5-year
size requires "a yards of 24-inch goods
tcr the guimpe and 8 yards of the same
width for the dress.
4S16--Seven sizes, to years.
The price of this pattern is 10c.

Chrome Mininq in Asia.

For many years past chrome min
ing has beer pursued as an industry
in Asia Minor. The chrome is usu-
ally found on mountains from 1000 to
5000 feet high and removed from the
pits to the railway station or market
on the backs of donkeys and camels.
But while chrome in the neighbor-
hood of Smyrna brought 800 a ton,
it now commands a very small price,
being in this respect like anthony,
so that it scarcely pays to mine it,
and certainly not in districts remote
from railways. AS the chrome of
other countries comes on the world S
markets that of Turkey, whose mines
have never been worked on a scien-
tifc basis with up-to-date machinery
must necessarily decline in value.

chance to cut in and don't be surprised
