AN ANXIOUS MOTHER
SEEKS SIDNEY ROSS
Woman Saves Small Earnings and
Buys Automobile to Search
West for Son.

New York, March 24.--Failing by
every other means to find her son, a
mother is setting out from an East
Side tenement next Tuesday in an
automobile she has bought with her
savings to scour the vast stretch OF
country embraced by the single word,
West
The boy-Sidney Leroy Ross-may
be In tle wheat fields, starving In
some city, or buried in an unmarked
grave, but his mother is determined
to find him. She is taking with her
only her cat, spots, a sewing ma
chine and the very lightest Of kits.
Mrs. Marie Whittaker--she remar-
ried after her sons Birthdays he
may be among the harvest hands. She
sees it as possible that he may have
gone to city. But she will not admit
the faintest chance he is dead, He Is
alive and he needs her.
Four years ago In Oklahoma City
they separated. They wanted to make
money, lots of it, because Sidney had
a leaning toward electricity his fe
low students called him "Bdison"
and he had an ambition to own a
farm; farm equipped with all sorts
of conveyances so that his mother
would only need to push buttons to
get whatever she needed.
To bring this about, Sidney became
a carpenter in Forth Worth, Tex. Mrs.
Whitaker went to Tennessee to a
munitions factory, but only a few
weeks after she arrived the armistce
came and there was no further need
for munitions
So Mrs. Whitaker came to New
York to see her friends Soon after
she arrived letters from Sidney
ceased, The last one came from Kan
sas City, Mo, and told how the boy
was Planning to leave for Brefster,
Mo-, to so out again with the har.
vesters and work the broad golden
belt of the wheat lands.
The mother tried every way she
knew to reach her son. She wrote
his former employers She got no
answer. She wrote. the government
employment agency. They tried to lo-
cate him, but they soon went out OF
business. And so for nearly four
years Mrs. Whitaker lived alone wait
ing the word which never came.
When her efforts failed Mrs. Whit.
taker began to save her money. She
determined then she would 90 find
Sidney. For more than three years
she has worked as scrub woman
dressmaker, doing odds and ends. She
has lived from hand to mouth. But
she has saved.
With her goal in sight she became
