Steady Demand For
Orphan Babies
(By Associated Press.

Chicago, Jan. 1O-Orphan
baby girls from six months to a
year old are readily adopted. In
fact there is a steady demand
for such waits, while boy in
fants and children from two
years old up are less often sought
according to the matrons OF
Chicago orphan homes and child
welfare workers.
"If | could have babies to order
l could find homes for 500 of
them a year." said Frances c.
Shepman of the Foundlng's
Home" Many people want little
ones with golden hair and blue
eyes but brown eyes and hair are
the favoritcs of others" In ex-
planation of the preference for
little girls one matron said
"Wives usually pick the child to
be adopted and they want girls
so that they may be companions
for them. Most women have the
idea, also, that a girl is easier t.
bring up than a boy"

TOOK SECOND SHOT
TO KILL OFFICER
johnson County Murderer Still
At Large Writes Paper, Cor
rect Account Of Killing

The State has offered a re-
ward for the capture of H. B. and
Ike Kirk, accused of the murder
of a deputy sheriff in johnson
county. Friends of the dead man
had offered a reward of $125 and
the county had offered similar
amount. A dispatch from Ash
land had this interesting story OF
the killing:
On Saturday a local newspaper
published an item of a shooting in
Johnson county, during which
Deputy Sheriff Wells and Detec-
tive Harmon were killed by two
brothers, Isaac and Hebe Kirk, at
the head of Deniels Fork. The
authorities have been unable to
arrest the brothers although a
large reward has been posted
for their apprehension. n
Kirk, a sticker for pure facts,
writes the paper to say he did
not kill Wells at the first shot
he had to fire twice. His letter
follows in part:
"Beach Fork, Jan. 4
Il saw your story in the issue
of your paper about me and my
brother killing Wells and Har-
mon. l want to tell you, you
have made a strong statement, |
killed Wells, but it was the sec

Harmon We both were shoot
ing. Sheriff Stambaugh and
Policeman James Melvin was
over here the same night but
they set in a chimney corner by
a friendly fire until morning and
returned. back to Paintsville
which was good they did"
Kirk continuing, asserts he
visited the house where the Of
ficers were quartered that nigh:
and saw Stambaugh and Melvin
through the window. He want

he declares, but refrained iron
doing SO when his comDanio.,

concludes, "We are still at the

FIRST TIME SERVICE 1898
Has Foreign Heavyweight Aspired
To Championship

New York, Jan. 10-Should Jack
Dempsey and Georges Carpenter
meet in the ring during the coming
year, as appears most probable, il
will be the first time since March %
1898 that a foreign heavyweight has
been serious contender for the
Worlds championship in this class.
On that date Jim Jcffries knocked out
Pete Jackson in three rounds and
while the famous Australian negro
was but a shell of his former self, he
still carried the European heavyweight
honors. The victory gave Jeffries the
right to the Worlds heavyweight title
beyond dispute.
Jackson was the first Australian
heavyweight champion. Later he add
ed title of English champion by knock
ing out Frank Slavin in London when
he entered the ring against Jeffries he
was the holder of. European honors
while Jeffries held undisputed title to
the American championship, Jeffries'
honors in turn passed to Jack John
son, Jess Willard and on July 4, 1919
to Jack Dempsey.
Carpenter by his two defeats of
Bombardier Wells and his latest vic
tory over Joe Beckett holds the title
of European champion. Should he
face Demsey during the next few
months the French pugilist, who be-
gan his ring career as feather
weight, will be the first foreign heavy
weight in several decades, to enter
the arena against an American with
anything like a fair chance of win
ming the Worlds heavyweight
championship.

WOULD MEAN A
LOT TO MADISON
jackson County Ready To Pour
Trade Into Richmond Over
Proposed New Pike

As an indication of the interest
that the people of Jackson coun-
ty feel in the building of a pike
from Mckee to Richmond, via
Big Hill, Mayor Evans ha. re-
ceived letter from County
Agent Reyonlds, of Jackson
county. He says that after
passage of the bond issue of
$125,OOO by an almost unani-
nous vote, it is planned to ask
the State Road Commissioner to
designate the inter-county seat
road as federal highway, and in
this way, connect it with the
Dixie Highway here. If this is
done, the state or government
will pay half of the cost of the
construction. 1t all depends up
on what Madison is willing to do,
according to those who are ia
mailiar with conditions. The
rich trade from all of Jackson
county is waiting to pour into
Richmond. 1t is said that it will
really be necessary to build only
two miles of road, by this county,
connecting the Berea PIKE oft to
the east with the pike which
Jackson will build from Mckee
right on to Big Hill.
Mr.. Reynolds letter to the
Mayor shows how interested the
!people up there are He writes:
Hon. L. ?. Evans,
Richmond, Ky. - I
My dear Mr.. Evans: a.
[ am glad to report to you that
our Road Bon Issue carried by
almost unanimous vote in Jack
son county on the 23, and it seems
as if Jackson county will have
an opportunity to get linked up
with the outside world in the.
near future. Clay county has al
ready voted bonds and | am just
wondering what your county
would be willing to do towards
meeting these counties. l would
like for you to give this informa-
ton to the Daily Register for
publication, as we'll as to call
| Judge Prices attention to this as
we will want to know just what
county is ready and willing to
meet us. We have been talking
with State Road Commissioner
Boggs regarding a federal road
through these counties connect
ing up with the Dixie Highway
in your county, and we feel hope
full of results, provided Madison
gets interested in this project.
Would like to hear from you or
any member of your court as to
their ideas on this matter. With
Fbest regards, am
Respectfully yours.

MENCES STANDS AT
HEAD OF VI0L|N|STS

Critics are saying that Isolde
Menges stands on the threshold
of supermanship in violinistic in
depreciation. She has drawn
round her tributes that few ar
lists in the past or present have
had bestowed upon them. She is
to give concert here ON Jan. II
and that she will get a hearty
welcome is already evidenced.
Miss Menges' name is now
bracketed with Ernst, Vieux-
temps, Wieniwski, Sarasate
There is only one young violinist
Of this age that can be compared
to Isolde Menges and that one is
Heifetz, who was her fellow
student in Russia. Heifetz is con-
sidered technically the superior
of all violinsts but when ii
comes to Interpretation, musi-
clans and critics in Europe say
that Menges is the greatest OF
this age
Howard Edie, the manager OF
Isolde Menges, has booked num-
erous recitals for that artist this
season in the United States and
Canada, and after she has finished
her tour she will leave for Eng
land, where engagements await
her. She devotes a great deal OF
her spare time to educational
work giving children's recitals
md talks on music.
Half of the proceeds go to the
local Associated Charities.

STATE GAME LAWS
TO Be AMENDED

Local sportsmen are interes in
news from Frankfort that b pro
posed by the Game and Fisl Com
mission to make the State Ia con-
form with the federal REGULATE ms for
the protection of game birds, song
birds and insectivious birds, will be
introduced at this session OF the Leg
iSlature.
In 1913 the Federal Congress pass
a law known as the enabling act
giving the Department Of Agricul-
ture authority to fix zones in which
and the time migratory game birds
might be lawfully killed. This was
done in order to make the treaty be-
tween the United States and Carada
for the protection of migratory birds
operative.
The regulations fixing the open and
closed season upon game birds are
now drawn by the Bureau of Biolog-
ical Survey of the Bureau of Agricul-
ture.
The Kentucky Game and Fish
Commission thinks that some of the
regulations as prescribed by the fed
eral government are discriminatory
an6 are now endeavoring to have
them removed, but deem it advisable
for the protection OF the citizens OF
Kentucky to recommend to the Leg
islature that measure making the
Kentucky laws governing migratory
birds conform to federal regulations
be passed.
The Commission was very much
gratifed that Governor Morrow in
his message to the Legislature die
not recommend the dabzolition of the
department of laws pertaining there
to- In fact, it is sinclined to the opin-
to. In fact, it is inclined to the opin-
ion that in subsequent message tc
the General Assembly Governor Nor
Tow will make some recommends
tions in behalf of the Game and Fish
