FEMALE JUDGE FIXES
BABY'S PARENTHOOD,
THEN RETAINS CHILD

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Judge
Kathryn Sellers of the juvenile court
has delivered her most difficult de-
cision, in case calling for the judg-
ment of a modern Solomon. She re-
moved a seven-months-old boy from
the custody of two women, each
claiming to be his mother, and or.
dered the baby committed to the care
of the board of children's guardians
until he reached the age of 21.
The strange case was thus disposed
OF after long arguments and plead
ing by Mrs. Maria Matteo, Of Wash
ington and Mrs. Eta Peck, Of Mary
land. Mrs. Peck, who is 43, insisted
that she bore the child and he was
stolen from her and given to Mrs.
Matteo, whose own baby had been
kidnapped.
The court decided that Mrs. Mat
teo was the true mother. but held
that neither woman's home is fit en-
vironment and therefore ordered the
infants removal. Mrs. Mateo will be
permitted to contribute to the bsby's
support.

LET'S GET TOGETHER

Let's get together and put ovel
the hotel and sanitarium proposition
which now is almost within our
grasp. II is a time when all person
alties should be dropped. The well
fare and upbuilding of our town Is OF
paramount Importance. Why should
anyone object to local man putting
1t over? Far better that, than to
have an outsider come in and try to
do 1t.
If we need new directors TO ac-
complish this fact, let's elect them
without any further argument Some
of them have been in office IL or 13
years continuously. That is entirely
too long. Give some other progress
sive men a chance. Some of them
are out of town a good share Of the
year and so miss lots Of important
issues. Nothing can be gained by
further discussion now that the
cards are on the table.
There are a great many extremely
selfish people in our little town.
Whenever a progressive measure is
introduced, they exert every effort
TO defeat 1t.
There is no one in Ashland that |
can think of who wouldn't be bene-
fitted. We could build better schools,
better homes, better streets, better
sanitary conditions, better amuse-
ments. and so on down the list.
Let's take the other side Of the
question. Imagine the many people
who would be benefited by our won.
derful resources. They would settle
In our valley and Improve our land.
Wouldn't many discouraged soul
be benefited by walk through our
wonderful park in the spring of the
year? Getting close to Mother Ma
ture cures many i'll which are ont al
ways physical ones. We have won
derful mineral opportunities going
to waste
Now, let's not wait for George to
do ii. Let's get busy each one and
do our best. Not one but many Will
benefit, so It surely is not a selfish
proposition. Now for a long pull
and a strong pull and everyone do
their share!

ASHLAND TAKES GAME
(Erom Saturdays Daily

The basketball quintet or the Ash
land high school last evening demon
strated to the Medford high school
team how the game should be played.
In practice before the game one
would have had difficulty In picking
the winner, but the game had hardly
started until the Ashland boys be-
gan to throw baskets from all angles,
and so fast that the MedfOrd players
were completely run off their feet.
The game proved one sided, the
score at the end Of the first half
standing q to s, so when the second
half opened Coach Hughes placed the
entire second team in against Med
ford. For time 1t appeared they
would not be able to hold their own.
but the second-strlng men lived up
to expectations and made more points
than the Medford quintet was able
to annex. With four minutes to play
the second team was called off the
floor, and the first team placed In
the game again to warm up before
the evening was over.
The local players. made exception
ally few fouls, while Medford made
liberal number, practically all of
which proved added points for the
Ashland aggregation.
The final score was As to IS in
favor of the Ashland lads, whose
playing was altogether satisfactory
to the large crowd that turned out
to root for them. A large delegation
was also present from Medford to
attend the game.
The lineup was as follows:
Ashland-Herr, forward. Guthrie

guard; Weisenberger, guard.

1.-THE BRIDGE BUILDER"

An old man travelling lone highway
Came at the evening cold and gray,
To a chasm deep and wide.
The old man crossed in a twilight
dim,
For the sullen stream held no fear
for him,
For he turned when he reached the
other side,
And builded a bridge to span the tide
"Old man." cried fellow pilgrim
near,
"You are wasting your strength with
building here.
Your journey will end with the end
ing day
And you never again will pass this
way.
You have crossed the chasm deep
and wide,
Why build bridge at eventide?"
And the builder raised his old gray
head,
Good friend, on the path l have
come" he said,
There followeth after me today
A youth whose feet will pass this
way.
This stream which has been naught
to me,
To that fair-haired boy may a pitfall
be.
He, too, must cross in the twilight
dim,
Good friend, am building this
bridge for him."

AIR TRAVEL TERMED
SAFE BY ARMY PILOT

(By International News Service)
LAWTON, Okla, Mar. 2.-Avia-
ton transportation is now as safe as
railway transportation. In fact,
there are fewer accidents in proper
tion to the mileage covered than on
the railroads, according to Lieuten-
ant-Colonel Paul w. Becks annual
report on flying.
Lieutenant-C Colonel Beck is the as
sistant commandant at Post Field
and has had much experience as a
flyer. His report stated that pilots
in cross-country flying travelled
S26, 900 miles last year. Planes fly
ing around the field totalled SAC, 900
miles. Together the total mileage
flown Is equal to sixty-seyen times
around the world.
During 1921 eleven persons were
killed in airplane accidents. This
makes the average distance flown to
each man killed approximately 1872
600 miles.

the hands of a little child, wound
its way through the streets without
confusion or mishap. A striking fea-
ture was the absence of any distinc-
tion between the various denomina-
tions.
OF all the various nationalities and
races represented (among them Ne
groes, Mexicans. Japanese, Chinese
and Indians), perhaps the most i'm
pressive was the Mexican body Of
more than 1000 converts to the Pro-
testant faith. A conspicuous part Of
the population of San Antonio Is
Mexican, and one of the most infre-
quent sights-and perhaps the sad
dest because Of its rarity-is the face
of happy Mexican. But the Mexi-
can division in this parade radiated
with light and hope and joy.
The march moved in regular order,
the children in front, the adults fol-
lowing, all singing in Spanish, "On-
ward Christian Soldiers" On the
faces of many of the onlookers who
crowded the sidewalks was amaze
ment, but cheers and applause came
from the crowd as the demonstration
proceeded.
The first Protestant mission in
San Antonio was started seventy
five years ago by the Presbyterians,
followed soon after by the Metho-
dists. Together they have worked
their way, enduring unusual hard
ships and finding the Catholic influ-
ence of nearby Mexico difficult to
overcome. The celebration was re-
vealation not only to the man of in
different convictions but to the Pro-
testants themselves.

In this table the four totals repre-
sent severally the date of the cor
nation of the first German emperor
the death day of Emperor Wilhelm
|, the beginning Of the late catastro-
phe, and the future restoration of
the Prussian throne.
Particular interest is attached to
the third prophecy from the fact
that the gypsy gave the date October
IS, 1913 (instead of August /, 1910
as the beginning of the catastrophe
leading to Germany's defeat.
This she explained as follows:
I'm October, 1913, one of your de-
scendents will be surrounded by a
group of apparently friendly rulers,
who a year later will have become
his bitterest enemies. BY provok-
Ing war on an unprecedented scale,
they will tear down everything you
have so carefully built up, and the
Prussian throne will be down in the
ruins"
This was the day when nearly all
the rulers of Europe were present at
the guests of Wilhelm II at the un-
yelling of the monument erected 10
the battle of nations, in Leipsic.
In answer to the princes question
as to the duration Of this war, the
gypsy said -Four years and an ad-
ditional year until peace is signed, I"
giving the exact day Of the final cat
astrophe as November 8, 1918"
Those who believe In clairvoyance
will have another five years to wait
before the confirYatloh or the refu-
tation of the gypsy's fourth pro-
phecy.

GYPSY PROPHECY
GIVES GERMANY
A KING IN 1927

BERLIN, March 6. - Monarchy
will be restored in Germany in the
year 1927. That is, If gypsy pro.
phecy is fulfilled This prophecy
dating from IS49, has been revived
by German lecturer in an address
on "Germany's Future"
According TO this chronicler, Prince
Wilhelm of Germany, later the first
emperor of the new German empire,
was returning from Baden, whittier
he had gone to suppress an uprising,
when he was met by band of gyp-
sizes. In some way the customary
fortune teller of the band gained ac-
cess to the prince and read from his
hand four prophecies, three of which
have already come true. They were
as follows:
/. He would become emperor of an
united Germany.
2. He would live to the age of 81.
3. The German empire, established
under his aegis, would go to pieces
after a comparatively short existence,
the Prussian empire collapsing in
the ruins.
One Prophecy Remains
4. A new Prussian king would be
chosen on March 19, 1927.
The prince was amused but in
credulous, and the gypsy feeling her
honor at stake, offered
to prove her prophecies mathemati-
cally. Accordingly she drew up the
following table;

Spring planting of vetch is sue.

likely to produce a low yield.
Persons desiring to plant potatoes

gained, however, by extremely early
planting.
