Parents accused
OUSing BabyAS
DecOy In Stealing

Detroit, Mar. 27.-Mary Ida Lou
Use Robinson did not obey an order
to appear in Wayne circuit court.
But Mary isn't worried, because
she probably knows nothing of the
order and wouldn't obey 1t if she
did. being only seven months old.
She is the youngest child ever
ordered into Wayne circuit court
on habeas corpus proceedings, and
she did not appear.
That was because she was sick
in the House of Providence hos
pital, Charles c. Chadwick, county
agent, told Judge Adolph e. Mar
sonner, when he appeared in an
swer to habeas corpus proceedings
started by the foster parents of
Mary Ida Louise, Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Robinson.
Chadwick said the police had
turned the baby over to him when
they arrested the parents on a
charge of stealing a baby cab.
Chadwick swore the police said
the baby had been used as a decoy
for the mother to appropriate ba-
by cabs from the front of moving
picture houses. He said she would
drop the baby into the best look
ing cab in front. wheel it home.
and there the buggy would be re-
painted and changed in appear
ance.
Inc case will come up in the
Juvenile court on the docket of
neglected children. No testimony
OF the parents was taken in the
circuit court.

Tommy Fox felt very foolish
He realized that If he mad jumped
up without first opening Ais eye be
would have given Mr.. Gray SOUR
rel any warning: and then ba
would have caught the plump old
fellow. But 1t was too late NOW
Another time he would know bet-
ter. And he sneaked off, to FRY tba
same trick on one of Mr.. t;rav
Squirrels friends.
1t was no use. Mr.. Squirrel f,I
lowed him, jumping from one traa
top to another. and made a great
noise, calling after him, and ieer-
ing at him. and telling all his
friends about the mean trick Tom
my had tried to play on him.
And to Tommy's great disgust
an old crow high up In a tall tree
heard the. story, and haw-hawaJ
loudly, he was SO amused. He made
such a racket that all the forest
people heard him: and Tommy
knew that there was no sense in
trying to catch a squirrel around
there that day. He went down into
the meadow and began hunting
crickets. And though he didn't
have as good a lunch as he want
ed, probably he ate all that was
good for him.

Mr.. Gray Squirrel noticed that ms

at once that Mr.. Gray Squirrel had

the tree just ahead of Tommy FOX
and though Tommy leaped hlsh
up the trunk, he was too late. haf'

And in another second he was safe

Mr.. Gray Squirrels Mistake

Mr.. Gray Squirrel certainly was
mistaken, when he thought that
Tommy Fox was dead and came
down out of the chestnut rec to
look at him. Tommy wasn't even
i'll. You remember that he was
very hungry? And that he had not
been able to find anything to eatY
Tommy could not climb the tree,
where Mr.. Gray Squirrel sat. 50
the only thing left for him TO do
was to make Mr.. Gray Squirrel
come down where he was
That was what Tommy Fox was
thinking about, when he sat there
on his launches and looked up so
innocently at Mr.. Gray Squirrel
As Tommy sat there a bright idea
came to him. So he held his paw
to his stomach and pretended 20
be i'll. And as soon as he saw that
Mr.. Gray Squirrel thought he was
i'll, Tommy fell over on his side
and made believe he was dead
Though his eyes were shut tight,
ears were 50 sharp that
he could tell when Mr.. Gray SquE-

.OEARY SOLONS WARN
THE SPEED v|0LAT0R
PASSED is NOW A
LEGAL ENACTMENT-H TO
SLOW FOR HILLS.

The Keep to Right" signs ordered
some time ago by the Deary council
were this week put in place at the
Second and Third avenue crossings of
Main street. The signs were made
and lettered by William Dalberg. The
posts are sunk into pyramidal cement
pedestals and their presence gives the
main tnoroughfare of the village de-
cidedly citified air, says the La,ah
County Press.
These signs were erected as a pre-
cautionary measure against automo-
bile accidents The business section
of the village is frequently so crowd
ed with motor vehicles of all kinds
that the least display of carelessness
on the part of driver would be liable
to precipiate smashup, if not some
thing of more serious nature. Suih
danger is greatly lessened when cars
keep the right side of the street, the
same as they are supposed to do when
travelling on any other public high
way. II,
The Press again calls attention to
the Deary speed limit, which is fix
ed by ordinance. Fifteen miles an
hoor is sorely fast enough to drive
a car along the streets of any town.
Yet there are some who apparently
think otherwise. Quite often some
speed bug takes through Main street
at pace that is nearer thirty than
fifteen miles an hour, and it is mat
5er for wonderment that so far no
)ne has been run down and killed.
Children especially are in danger at
such times, for there are tots as well
is grownups crossing Main street at
III hours of the day. In fixing the
peed limit the council took cogni-
ance of the fact that Main street, on
lccoun of the rise in both directions
rom Second avenue, is not easy to
legotiate at the speed permitted in
ther towns, which ranges from eight
o twelve miles.
