MOTHER HISTORICAL
WITH Joy SHOWERS
KISSES ON INFANT
Mrs. Anna Schneider Leaves
Jamestown With Child Believ-
ed To Be Her Lulu Wanda"
lSpecil to The Tribune)

jamestown, n. D.. Jan. 6-Mrs. An
ma Schneider left here today, return
ing to Berkeley, Cal, with the child
which both she and Mrs. Lulu Day
claim that they can prove ownership
to.
The fact that George Day gave the
baby to Mrs. Schneider without any
protest is considered conclusive evil
dence that the claims OF Mrs. Day are
without foundation.
Historical with Joy
Mrs. Schneider was hysterical with
joy when she found the baby at the
home Of Mrs. Richard Gleason, of this
city, yesterday afternoon, showering
it with kisses and laughing and cry
ing over it. She call the baby Lulu
Wanda instead OF dorothy, as
she was called by Mrs. Day.
Husband Deserted Her
Mrs. Schneider denies the story that
her husband was killed in France
while serving in the German army,
but says that he deserted her before
the child was born and that she
knows nothing Of his whereabouts at
present. The story probably original
ed from the fact. says Mrs. Schneid-
ersSthat her brother, an uncle and two
law have been killed while
in the service of the Fatherland.
Child Stolen Last May
Mrs. Schneider says that the child
was stolen May e. 1916. Mrs. Day
was staying with Mrs. Schneider, who
was living at the home OF John Agee
an artist at San Diego, and Mrs. Day
asked to take the child with her on
a visit to some friends in San Jose
Mrs. Schneider did not see the baby
again until, she found itson the bed;
peacefully sleeping, at the home OF
Mrs. Gleason yesterday afternoon
&, There is. considerable division OF
opinion among the people of the city
as to who is the true mother of the
child. Mrs. Day faces charge OF
theft of $1,000 in jewelry at San
Diego, where she is now being held.

Correct Heat Records.

Why does weather bureau Their.
nometer show lower temperatures In
aot weather than the Thermometer at
The corner drug store? asks the Popu-
ar Science Monthly. When discrepan-
,ies exist, they are due chiefly to tho
,act that the official thermometer is
installed in d wooden cage, where it
s open to the air, but screened from
both direct sunshine and the heat re.
lected from surrounding buildings: 4
Only under such conditions does .
thermometer measure accurately the
temperature of the air. ~ -, :
A thermometer in the sunshine be-
comes much hotter than;the air around
It, and its reading simply tells us how
not the. instrument Is, not how hot
he air Is. In large cities the weather
bureau thermometer Is often installed
IN the roof Of a high building; where
he temperatures differ somewhat from
those prevailing at the street level. The
object sought in this arrangement is
to obtain a record Of the natural tenn
2erature Of the locality in general.

MUST NOT BOTHER EDISON
Visitors Not Permitted to lntrude on
Great Inventor When He fs Busy
at His Experiments.

Thomas A.. Edison's fayorite pur-
suit Is chemistry. Even as boy
telegraphist getting his first start to-
wards d career, this inclination was
manifest In his experiments with bat
terfes and electric devices, and 1t still
remains his greatest pleasure, observes
an exchange.
His new laboratory is splendldly
equipped. Every known substance
ranging through all the Kingdoms of
matter from lnnthanum to sharks
teeth and including over 100000 speci-
mems, is kept on hand for immediate
availability. 1t Is collection of over
30 years standing, encouraged from
time to time by prizes for new addl-
tons offered by the inventor to his
men.
His own laboratory table is never,
In any circumstances, allowed to be
touched. A notice posted on the door
way reads to the effect that Mr.. Edi-
son Is not to be disturbed In the course
of his experiments except for matter
of the utmost importance. So fond Is
he of his beloved pastime that he de-
clares his idea of heaven Is to be able
to continue it, and his injunctions to
his staff are: "When die want my
table forwarded to me by wireless"
