JUDGE WOULD
CHECK FAMILY
Orders Denver Woman to Undergo
Operation or Give Up Her Five
Children

DENVER. Nov. 2S-Judge ROYAL
Graham told Mrs. Clyde Cassidente Sat
urday that he expects her to submit to
an operation before Jan. 10 which will
make motherhood impossible for her. He
continued until that date the case of the
woman, cited to show cause why her five
children should not be taken from her be-
cause of their undernOurished condition
and the chronic unSanitary condition of
their home environment. The father. a
notary and Italian interpreter, assented
To the suggestion made by the court.
What Mrs. Cassidente said has not been
reported.
Complaint against the woman was
made by social workers whose ranks in
clude several unmarried women no
longer young. and married women who
have had no children. Those who
caused the arraignment charged that the
CasSidente home is chemically filthy. that
the children, including the infants, were
inSuffciently fed and that all of them
were neglected by the mother. not receiv.
ing the care necessary for health and bod
lily cleanliness and wellbeing
DIR. Ray Sunderland testified in a pro-
fessional opinion that the conditions in
the Cassidente home were due to the
mother bearing children too frequently.
What would you suggest as a remedy -
Judge Graham asked.
That Mrs. CaSsidente submit to a ster-
iliZing operation" the witness replied.
Il shall continue this cause until Jan
10" the Judge announced. and in the
meantime | want DIR. Sunderland's sug-
gestion carried out"
The inference drawn from the courts
action was that Mrs. CasSidente would
have the choice of submitting to the surg
zeal treatment suggested or. refusing to
do so. would face the removal of her chill
-dren from her custody.

Runs General Store, Knows His
Stock, Waits on Trade
(By Newspaper Enterprise.)

,,, Cincinnati, ,<March 7-"Things are
what you think they are. If you
think you are. up against it, you ara!
If you think you're lucky, you are.
Only, as Sis Hopkins says, Nothing
can be as bad as you think 1t is. "
This is the philosophy of Ere.
Wippcr, who's 40, and has been blind
for 20 years. Wiper conducts a gen.
eral store at Hartwell, near Cincin-
natl, and has built up a tcreditable
business in the last 10 years. .
He says the secret of success is,
Path IN Yourself and in human ma
To. explain, "You can't even make
a start without faith in yourself. And
you can't get anywhere without faith
in others"
Faith Sorely Tried. 4.
Wipper's faith in otaers has been
sorely tried at times. For instance,
he cannot make change when paper
money is presented unless the Gus
toner tells him the denomination OF
the bill For lall bills are the same
size and feel the same"
Some Of his customers have sunk
50 low in meanness that they would
rob blind man, for they have lied
to him about the denomination of the
bill, and then have taken the addi-
tional change. ...' O. '-
But for every oneiwho has cheated
me, thousands haveE come into the
store and dealt with me honestly"
says Wiper. "Often my customers
help me wait upon them, by selecting
colors or matching such othings as
cloth and thread or ea.tyat.
Knows His Stock. -
: Wiper knows exactly what his
store LOCKS like, though he never has
seen It. ~ ,-.
1--WE arranged everything" he says.
II always unpack goods and distri
butte the things on the shelves. Thus
l can always find them. My wife fire.
quently helps me, but she isn't, near
ly as familiar with the stock as ! am,
and often shes has to ask me where
things are" :. X
Wiper never repines. 4"
I'VE live in a rut, most of u.s." he
says. 1--WE work according to habit
and we play according to habit. New
conditions make some of us afraid.
But, say, you never know how
much you can accomplish till you
have to try. Then you're likely TO
find the job not half as hard as you
expected. And Just because d man
can't see through his eyes he needn't
lay down and die. He still can taste,
feel, touch and hear-and the minds
eye is the real eye after all.
Most people fail because they are
blind to their opportunities. ga
