ship law. but the law does not gran
 complete equality to mothers witt
 fathers. If the parents are living apart, without divorce. the father hat the first right to the control and GUS tody of the child. The appellate di
 vision of the New York supreme court has ruled it is the undoubted rule that the husband is regarded in the law as the head of the household ano the law awards to him the care and custody of the children"
 "A court case illustrating this if tha, of child whose parents were sepa rated. Both parents were suitable persons to care for the boy, though the mother was financially able tc provide better home for the child than was the father The question of the child's custody came before the courts twice; the first time he was three years old and was given to the mother; the second time he was five years old and the court awarded him to the father, saying: The father by reason of his paramount right in law, is entitled to the custody of the child at this time. A boy of three years of age may properly be deemed to be of such tender age that considerations of his welfare call for his having q mothers care. but the same cannot be said when the child has reached the age of five.''
 ''The services and earnings of chill dren still legally belong to the father unless he gives the child the right to his own earnings. If child is injured and death does not result, it is the father alone who receives damages for the loss of the child's services. Only when the father is dead or de- serter. does the mother have any right to any of the money awarded. The father alone controls any real estate which may come into the child's pos session. A court case illustrating this point was that of a husband who had deserted his wife and child and who collected from the tenant the rent of a house which the child and it's mother owned jointly. The court up- held him, allowing him to collect both the child's and the mothers share.
 "In the case of the ilegitimate chill dren, the mother is primarily respon- sible. The custody and control of the child are hers It takes her name and usually can inherit only from her.

DETROIT PLANTS OF
 FORD co. DESERTED
Manufacturer Expects Adjustment of Fuel Problems Shortly Where
 upon Shops Will Reopen.

Detroit, Sept IS. (By Associated Press) )--An industrial army of more than 100000 today entered upon a period of idleness. and the mammoth Ford Motor Co. plants were deserted, except for caretakers, for the first time in months.
 As nfany of the idle factory work CTS were seeking new jobs Henry Ford renewed his efforts to solve his fuel problem. His task, he maintained, was to obtain fuel at what he consid- cred a reasonable price. To accept coal at prices quoted him, Mir Ford previously had declared would be submission to proiteers."
 No statement had been made by the manufacturer today as to the prob- able duration of the suspension of work at his plants, but Edsell B. Ford, president of the company. voic- ed the hope that a way out of the fuel difficulty might soon be found.
 Whether the reported plan of the chamber of commerce of the United States for a nationwide cooperative agreement among manufacturers would aid the company still was in doubt. As outlined here the plan is in agreement with Mir. Fords stand in the coal situation to the extent that it would provide against undue price imitation, as well as for trans portation to all industries large and small of enough fuel to keep them in operation.
