Charles Robbins, after whom the

was a Western prospector of consid-

Mother Lode diggings in Amador

wandering drifted into the Idaho fields.
Robbins moved around among the
camps, but not until he reached the
camp of Florence did he find con-

NEA Staff CORRESPONDENT

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE institution
of marriage is going on trail before
a Chicago court.
A Judge will be called upon to al
locate the affections of man to
one of two women who claim-them.
Thefone woman is the mans legal
ly welded wife who has borne him
one son.
"He's mine," she says, because
gave him my youth and beauty, be-
cause l fought and struggled away
my young years that he might rise
to prosperity"
The other woman, though bound
to him by no legal tie, declares that
she has lived with him IL years as
his wife and has borne him five chill
dren.
"He's mine," she says, because
love him and he loves me. And love
is greater than any man-made law.
The principals in this case are
John C. Curtin, wealthy lumbernan,
Curtins wife, and Miss Kathleen
Morrell.
Mrs. Curtin has had Miss Morrell
arrested on a technical charge OF
contributing to the delinquency OF
her own children-otherwise the
strange love tangle might have gone
on undiscovered as it has for the
last II years.
While the two women await a
court hearing, which has been con-
tinued, this is what they say in sup
port of their rival claims:
BY the Mother Who Is Not Wife
"It is true 1 am not married by
law to John Curtin. But in the
eyes of God l am John Curtin's wife
and our children are pure in His
sight because they are born of love.
"To every woman belongs the in
alienable right ITO bear children,
John Curtin was my preordainet'
mate and the fact he already was
bound to another woman whom he
no longer loved never marked a
barrier which should not have over
stepped.

WOMEN DRESS
IMP0SSIBILITY

Paris, Dec. 25. - Woman's dress
will never approach the uniform type
of mans dress, declared Madame
Jeanne Paquin, founder and chief
owner of one of the oldest of the
Paris houses, who has just rounded
out her 33rd year as fashion leader
and maker of dresses for those who
would appear beautiful.
"The styles of today range back
to those worn by the Egyptians, such
as l once saw on the mummies of
the now sunken island of Philae,"
said Madame Paquin.
eff we admit that dressing a beau
tiful woman is an art, then it fol-
lows that this art changes as other
arts. One cause of such changes lies
in social conditions.
"The season to season changes
come from the fact that fashion
creators wish to continue to create.
| for instance, as soon as 1 have
completed creation, wish to pass
to something different. I can't help
it. 1t is the creative instinct l obey.
"There can for this reason never
be set, uniform style for women,
so long as women wish to be beau
tiful and men wish to have them so.
"The feminist movement means
death to woman's beauty, and for
this reason it can never succeed in
France. Our women wish to appear
beautiful, our men approve Of this
desire, and, within their means, are
willing to pay the bill.

dame Paquin that her own success

A Proclamation /
LAW AND ORDER DAY

WHEREAS, it has become manifast
that there is a deplorable lack of
knowledge and appreciation of the
immortal documents which define,
interpret and safeguard the liberties
Of our people, and
WHEREAS, there has also been a
tendency in recent years to lessen
the emphasis upon individual civil
responsibility and the development
Of strength of character, and to rely
altogether too much upon the mere
passage of laws prohibiting certain
acts, without seeking to develop an
enlightened public conscience which
both yields obedience to law and
actively sustains the enforcement
thereof, and
WHEREAS, a nationwide aggres-
sive campaign has been conducted
by those who profit by the traffic
in intoxicating liquor and habit
forming drugs, to undermine the
spirit of obedience to law and to
create disrespect and contempt for
constitution, law and government,
and
WHEREAS, it seems essential to
the welfare of our state and country
that we should restore the sense of
personal civic responsibility and
should seek to develop high civic
ideals, strength of character and a
disposition on the part of the citizen
ship, not only to obey, but to pro-
mote obedience to all laws on our
statute books, and
WHEREAS, the Law and Order
Union has requested that day be
set aside for the purpose of thus
renewing our faith in and allegiance
to constitutions, law and govern
ment in state and nation

the constitutions Of state1end nation.

Washington's Farewell Address and
others of the immortal documents
so closely associated with our growth
