ADVICE TO THE
 LOVELORN
Who Occupies a Unique Position In the Writing. World As An Author
 ity on the Problems of Life
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Who Occupies a Unique Position In the Writing, World As An Author ity on the Problems of Life The girl who longs for a mans love
 might as well sit down and face the fact that she has to earn it.
 The man who wants to girl to care for him as he does for her, must
 make an intelligent effort to win her love.
 But every day brings me frantic eff fusions from boy or girl, or man or woman who writes something like this:
 I'm madly in love with someone who doesn't reciprocate We don't
 meet often, and my pride won't let
 me do anything which might humil-
 fate me in case the attraction isn't
 mutual. Can't you tell me something
 to do to win the one I love since life
 isn't worth living without my sweet heart?"
 Let's take that sentence, My pride
 won't let me do anything which might
 humiliate me in case the attraction
 isn't mutual" Doesn't 1t seem that a
 big, honest love ought to be above
 haggling over the price it has to pay
 to win what it wants? The natural instinct of the human
 race is to go after its needs. When prehistoric man climbed up a high tree armed with a few cocoa nuts with which to destroy the guar dian of the ape-woman fs desired and to stun her so he could drag her off to his cave. he laid the foundation of something which exists Tn his de
 scendants today. All the veneer of 5000 years of civilization won't do away with the basic needs and long ings which were the history of the human race for about half a million years
 The normal human instinct is to
 go after your mate. The woofng man and the coquettiish woman are but natural descendants of the days when
 man grabbed his mate and the mate 1 pretended not to want to be seized | just to prolong the excitement of the struggle
 Pride of self-love exaggerated to a dangerous degree. Dignity and a sense | of proportion are far different We | live in a civilized world which has ! rules and regulations we can't ignore. Ape-man methods won't do. But be- i meath our civilization are primitive in- | stincts. And we fall whenever we re- | fuse to be honest about them.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-03-02

To win love is an honorable thing To want to win it is normal And not to go about it with high pride in the honesty of a big feeling for another is a weakling thing.
 Real love doesn't often fail un- less 1t fastens on the wrong object. When a man tries to take away his chuna's sweetheart. when a girl wants to steal the husband of another woman. the whole thing is too unfair to count as love. It's just selfish de- sire.
 But when two people are tempor- arily attracted and drift apart. it is because one of them has failed to live up to their best interests
 The way to win a man orNwoman is first to love honestly and normally and then to give so freely and lavish ly of interest and sympathy and high minded understanding that you be-

Won1an Solomon WiH Decide Which
 Wife Is Mother Of Disputed Baby

utmost for the custody of the child. And that's that.
 The story begins in the early sum- mer. Mrs. Mattio comes to America and then to Washington. A few days later a baby is born, but Mrs. Mattio is unable to care for it. So. on the advice of friends, she advertises for some family to care for the child.
 Offers to Care For It
 Under the name of Mrs. Mary Smith, Mrs. Peck offers to care for the child. An arrangement is made and Mrs. Peck takes the girl to her home in Tuxedo. This was late in August But for the timely advent of Miss Agnes F'erriter, Red Cross worker ir Prince Georges country, which en- braces Tuxedo. the story probably would have ended here. Miss Fer ritter learned that Mrs. Peck was i'll ir bed and decided to visit her. Entering the house. she found Mrs Peck and was informed that a baby had just been born.
 "How old is the child?" asked Miss Ferriter.
 -Four days was the response.
 Whereupon Miss Ferriter promptly suggested that Mrs. Peck return to bed.
 "Oh, mol In our family the wom- en are always out of bed within a few days,' is said to have been the reply.
 But Miss Ferriter, disliking condi- tions in the house, investigated and found Mrs. Peck had recently adopt ed a child. Through the Maryland authorities she obtained the child s custory. It was later ordered sent to the custody of the Childrens Guar dians. By this time Mrs. Mattio had stepped into the picture.
 Mrs Peck followed the child to Washington and sought it's custody from the board. But officials of the board decideds it was a case for the Juvenile judge, and the case was referred.
 And today a woman, f1tting1y ap- propriate in these modern days of suf- frage and women's rights, will enact the role of Solomon the Wise Tn de- ciding who is the real mother of the baby.

Washington, March 2.-Miss Kath- ryn Sellers, judge of the District of Columbia Juvenile Court, today shared honors with King Solomon the ''wisest of the wise,'' when she es- saved to decide the parentship of a seven-months old baby ardently claimed by two women.
 The women are as strangely diff ferent as the stories they have un- folded, each averring that she is the real mother. One is an Italian Mrs. Maria Antonio Mattio, who recently arrived in this country; and the other is Mrs. Etta Peck, of Tuxedo, Maryland.
 The Italian woman claims she put her child in the custory of Mrs. Peck being unable to care for 1t at the

come necessary to the one you love.
 To be petty, to nag, to make unfair demands, to be jealous of friends or business or time or personal freedom is to wreck love. To trust merely to the physical attraction, which is a 1eeting thing made up of uncertain " and excitement and the lure of youth, isn't to build anything that can last.
 But to become part of your loved ones scheme of things, to offer a big friendship and to be as charming. generous and understanding as you know how is the oneway to Twin love-

 Dear Mrs. Thompson: When boy comes to see a girl and she asks him to come again just as he is leaving, should she tell him when to come, or should he ask when? I told a boy who came to see me to come again. but he hasn't come. Should I have set the time? DOUBTFUL.
 You did the correct thing. It was his place to ask when he could come.

 ''It Is My Baby!"
 But the doughty little woman who recently left the sunny shores of Italy for the promised land" only to step into her present difficulty, ,refutes Mrs. Peck's story.
 'tShe has not sent my baby away says Mrs. Mattio. "It is my baby she says was born to her.,
 On the other hand, Mrs. Peck em- phatical1y denies Mrs. Mattio's state ment and declares she will fight to the

That he is now Il citizen Of New

director Of some Of the Morgan

fortune has been made secure and

the bar is fixed. He attained all
this by hard work with marked
ability.
But We like to think of him as he
was when he represented the people

eloquent appeal against "govcrn-

There is not a West Virginian but

ed because West Virginia can no
longer claim him as a citizen.

BILLY MCGINNIS.

PcrhapS no nomination made in
either party this year is meeting
with more favorable press comment
than that of cX-State Senator VIM.
II. McGinnis, of Beckley, Raleigh
county, for Supreme Court Judge.
MIR. McGinnis is an able LAWYER
and man we'll equipped for the
position to which he has been nomi-
nted. He knows the law and he
is a man of the people. He was in
no sense a candidate for nominal
lion and had gone to Charleston to
attend the Convention as delegate
His many friends insisted that he
permit his name to go before the
convention to which he consented.
he had for years been attending
State Democratic Conventions and
Is so we'll known that he received
the nomination on the first ballot.
Mr.. McGinnis will add strength to
the ticket. He has always been q
party worker. He is a Democrat
from conviction, his father and
members of his family having all
been affiliated with the Republican
party. Notwithstanding this fact.
ne has always been a whecl-horsc in
the ranks of the Democratic party.
The very first lessons the writer
mad IN campaign work was from the
hands OF Senator McGinnis. who
was thcn Chirman of the Raleigh
county Democratic Executive Com
inlttec. position he has frequently
held and those lessons as to hard
work and pcrfccting an organiza-
non have never been forgotten. His
only merit is by no means that of q
party worker. AS said above MFR.
Mcllnnls is an able lawyer. a
student of public matters and he

dltlon on the Supreme Court of the
State. Knowing him so well per
