The newspa2er readers of Clifton considered this
nouncement with mixed emotions. Some were kind
enough to believe that the company sincere and
that it intended prove its sincerity Others regarded
it cynically wondering what new game Bob Hall

The person to whom the ad gave the greatest shock,
however, Bob Hall himself. Ten minutes after it

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. : -
With their maternal love deeply
aroused and pitted against each
other, two women are contesting
here for custody of two-year-old
Jay M. Amick, or Jay NJ. Barnes,
according to the decision of the
arbiter in this strange tangle.
Rich in mothers" little Jay
does not seem to care much how
the predicament in which he Is
the star, comes out.
The claimants are Mrs. Char
lotte ID. Amick OF Los Angeles.
and Mrs. Ethel Barnes, now living
in Turlock, CAL, while third
woman, Mrs. Wayne Burns Of San
Francisco, who has been playing
foster-mother to the boy, also
wants to keep him.
The delicate function of arbiter
has been delegated to NJ. j. White,
secretary of the San Francisco So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruel
ty to Children.
Mrs. Amick claims the child is
hers and thaN about year ago
she left him 10 charge OF a Miss
Ethel Mershon, an old acquaint-
ance. When she wanted her baby
back some time later, she says
she was unable TO locate Miss
Mershon.
Mrs. Burns claims she got the
child through an advertisement
for adoption from a Mrs. Ethel
Barnes, who said she would pay
IS month for his maintenance.
Mrs. Amick asserts the belief that
Mrs. Barnes is undoubtedly the
former Miss Mershon.
