Romeo Arrested

SHERIDAN, wyo., June 3d.
Oscar Jennings Smith. II. lady killer.
erstwhile orphan. and experienced
knight of the road has changed his
story once again.
The latest version of the Juvenile
prisoner Is that he is IL years old
his last birthday and left his home
at Yolyln, w. Va, last Decoration
day after a painful interview with
his stepfather and came west to be a
a red necktie.
When he first appeared at the sta
ton the youngsters story was that
he was IT. that he had beer orphaned
two years ago by the death of his
mother. and that he was "boing"
his "a to San Francisco where he
heard that his uncle. Charley Shep-
pard had a chicken farm.
The youngster was broke. pennl-
less. and ragged. He was given a
free rein at the station. fed, out
fitted with new clothes, and found n
job.
Bit by bit his story was changed.
until 1t was altered in every detail.
His home he has given as Omaha.
Yolyln. w. Va. Sprig. w. Va. and
Russell. KY. The youngster vas
then held until the police at the four
towns could be notified and officers
could get in touch with the boys
parents. No answer has yet been re-
ceived. and none of his stories is
given much credence.
The youth demonstrated his lady
killer proclivities when he was given
two hours leave by the chief to at
tend a movie. He did not appear at
the scheduled hour. and when the
night force turned out to locate him.
1t was discovered that he had three
girls, none of whom he had ever seen.

The girls went home unattended

MOTHERHOOD IN
DENVER

The Denver woman who was the
subject of much controversy there a
year or two ago has had another
baby. Women have a way of hav-
ing babies-there is nothing partic-
ularly unusual in that. But in this
case it has been apparent for some
time that this particular woman
should not have had the baby-nor
several of those babies which pre-
ceeded it The seventh child ar
rived long after a recommendation
had been made to a Denver court
that the woman be forced to sub
nit to an operation that would pre-
vent her from becoming the mother
of more offspring.
Motherhood is a natural function
which can be considered sacred only
as it is made so by the mother her
self. There were strong reasons
for making such an unusual request
of the Denver court-a request,
of course, which could not be grant
ed and is not sanctioned by law.
The ability to breed, per Sc, is
neither "holy" nor a great distinc-
ton. The lowest animals have
the same capacity. It is only when
a greater inspiration is involved, an
appreciation and acceptance of re-
sponsibility. a desire to give the
child every chance, denying self
only such things as these make
motherhood a sacred vocation.
The Denver woman could not
take care of six. She was taken
to court for neglect, and she boasts
that she will have as many more as
she likes. There is no law to pre-
vent her from so doing. although
perhaps there ought to he. But
in any case, she has nothing to brag
Of. Her own record condemns her.
She makes herself ridiculous, and
worse; she makes Of motherhood a
mockery. That is a high crime for
any woman to commit.
