IL the efforts of Tacoma women

cessful, the petition of Mrs. Eliza
beth Darst for the return of her
little girl, Helen Louise Fletcher,
formerly Helen Louise Barr, who

at its close that he would also

case.

one who wishes to help can call
either Mrs. Fletcher or myself.
Helen Louise Barr was awarded
by the superior court some months
ago to the Washington Children's
home, on the charge that Mrs.
Darst had contracted the drug
habit and was not a fit person
to have the care of her daughter.
The Fletchers adopted the child
from the home.
Mrs. Darst made two attempts
to regain possession of the little
girl, once by KIDNAPPING her, and
once by a writ of habeas corpus.
A short time ago the charge
was made that the Fletchers had
offered to give the child back If
they were paid $500.
On this ground. and on the
statement of Mrs. Darst's friends
that she has entirely recovered
from the morphine habit, a petit
ton for the return of the child
was based. 1t was denied Tues
day by Superior Judge Chapman.

The reason for their presence in n

statistics are on hand to show that
the early summer will find a good
traveIable highway between Washing

permit travel over its entire length at
