 Two new bills were introduced in the house by Miss Boehringer by request. The first declares all children of natu- ral parents to be legitimate and heirs of the father and entitled to mainten- Rnce by him and to be regarded as chill dren born in wedlock. If the father is R man married to a woman other than the mother. it is not required that such natural children shall be taken into his family but they shall be regarded as equal in every respect to his children born tn wedlock.
 In case the paternity of the children Is disputed the matter shall be handled In court as other civil actions are and proof of their paternity shall be estab- lished as any other fact may be. In case the putative father is dead when an action is begun to establish the paternity of the children, the mother may not testify.
 The other bill by Miss Boekhrnger amends the present bastardy law by making 1t more rigid. It increases the recognizance of the alleged father to as much as s1,ooO and in case percentage is established he is responsible for the 7 maintenance of the child for an indefi- mite period. But any order of the court fixing the amount of the maintenance may be revised by the court at any time.
