OF the lower court and Of Judge
Kcnesaw Mountain Lands of Chi
cago, in deciding that Margaret, Of
the two warning women, is tho
mother Of Baby Irene"
The story Of this struggle recalls
the Biblical case in which King
solomon rendered his sapient de-
Cision; and also the almost equally
famous case chronicled by w. s..
Gilbert, whose Little Buttercup it
was that mixed those babies up"
1t was four years ago, in the sprinS
OF 1916, that the public first heard Of
the most modern Changeling, "Bahy
Irene" on one side OF her stood the
rich, worldly-wise, determined widow
OF Frederick Matters, banker and
motion picture magnate, who as Mrs.
Dollie Ledgerwood Matters actually
had possession OF the baby over
whom the battle in the courts was to
take place.
On the other side of the little IrCne's
cradle, iiguratively speaking, stood
the appealing figure Of the unmar-
ried mother, slender, sweet faced,
twenty year-cld Margaret Ryan, a
Canadian girl. Like many other girls
in the war years, Margaret Ryan had
loved not wisely but too well. Engaged
to a Canadian boN Shose name she
resolutely refused 20 mention during
the fight for her baby, she found,
according to her own story, after he
had marched away and gone over
seas TO the trenches that she wos to
be- the mother of hls child.
So far, the tale is that Of many a
war baby and war mother. The un-

the vigorous. healthy infant which
really was her own, after all
The Matters heirs made a fight
against Mrs. Matters, who, II there
had been no direct heir, was entitled
merely 10 the duwner right in her
husbands estate. with Irene ad-
mitted to be her posthumous child,
the baby and its mother would enjoy
the whole estate.
In the first legal conflicts the wit
nesscS from the Ottawa hospital sup
ported the claims OF Mrs. Matters, in
whose nursery little Irene played
happily with her expensive toys
while the fight for her went on. But
later the same witness admitted they
had pcrjuued themselves and con
firmed the essential assertions in
Margaret Ryan's strange story and
in the charge that it was indeed her
baby who had been given 10 the
millionaire lady"
Judge Landis--thC new Chief JUS
tice OF Baseball''-heard the case, lis
tened to Margaret's pathetic testimony
and invited Mrs. Matters to take the
stand She refused, although She had
reiterated constantly that Irene was
born TO her, and had asserted her belief
that "no court will be cruel enough 20
take my baby away" But Judge
Lands, sitting like another Solomon
between two mothers. gave judy
ment in favor Of the little Canadian
girl, and, while Mrs. Matters wcpt
silently, ordered the baby's nurse 20
give Irene TO "hcr mother Nargarer
Ryan.
"Oh, my bal~ have you at last"
exclaimed the girl, while little Irene
reached up and seized "A straying lock
Of her mothers soft hair.

She did take the child 10 Ottawa,
and changed ITS name from Irene t.
kathleen. A little over a year ago Mrs.
Matters was arrested by the Ottawa
police on a charge Of attempted alb
ducuon.
And now the court Of last resort has
upheld Margaret Ryan's claims and
decided against DollIe Matters. And

And SO ! give thanks on THANKS

Somehow this seems to ME like the
real THANKSGIVING spirit To be thank
fuI for something that has happened
to you, that has given you more com
fort, or money, or position Is one
thing: but to be thankful that things
are not worse, that you are what you
are, and to keep hope-somehow there
is no better element for which to be
thankful.
The old Sunday school adage,
Count your blessings" still holds
good. Some truths may be old
fashioned, but they are nevertheless
true.
When I look about me and see the
d4scontcnt and disCord over triiles as
well as big things; when l look about
and see people who have supposedly
everything for which the human
heart could wish, and they are thank
less about il ALL wish somehow
that they could exchange places with
this mother, and imbibe a bit OF the
spirit OF Thanksgiving that is hers.
Some people go on the theory that
the more we nave the more we want,
and tho less we are thankful. These
are the dlsgruntled people, the so
called "grouches,"
The big spirits, after all, are those
who are not unmindful Of things that
are done for them and things that
they have They give thanks every
day OF the year as well as on Thanks
giving that they are living in the
greatest age the world has ever
known, No matter how humble, it is
a privilege TO find ones self in il.
50 give thanks for this, IL nothing
else.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Long- -suf
fering Korea has at last taken the
bit in her teeth and has started an
armed revolt against japanese do
minion, according to official dis
patches received hcrc yesterday.
The reports state that kordan
troops armed by the Soviet govctn-
ment Of Russia have recently de-
feated Japanese troops in sanguinary
encounters in northern Korea. In
one engagement the Japanese lost
500 killed,
The dispatches characterized the
fighting as the beginning of tre-
mendous affair." It was stated the
Koreans moved into the battle re-
gion from Kirin, Manchuria. :,
The official dispatches received
here indicate that the population is
rising in. support of the insurgents.
Officials here state that it has
edge that great numbers of Koreans
who had fled to Manchuria to escape
japanese domination in their own
country were being organized and
were meditating armed action to
free their native land of the Japs.
The officials scout the statements
that the outbreak was mainly inspr-
ed by the Russian Soviet government
and declare that the feeling among
all Koreans is SO intense against the
Japanese that a revolt such as the
present was to be expected.
The Japanese have three full di-
visions of troops in Korea, according
to adyices received here, but these
troops are so scattered due to the
necessity OF preserving order as to
preclude any probability of them Of
fering any determined resistance to
the inSurgentS
