NEEDS OF A KING SOLOMON
DECISION

An unmarried mother of five
children is being mauled around in the
courts, the newspapers and the uplift
societies of Chicago. The purity
clubs" composed no doubt Of women
who do not know the sacred joy OF
motherhood are demanding that for
the sake of the children's welfare
they be committed to a charitable
home for children where among un-
feeling strangers and deprived of the
"demoralizing" love of fond moth
er they may develop into good men
and women.
DEPRESSING from the moral status
and the ethics custom. here was
woman who, though unmarried, per-
formed mission in life that thou
sands upon thousands of women mar
ried, and apparently respectable, have
battled against and refused to per-
form In her plea for her children,
for the right to be with them, for the
right to bestow upon them the love
Of motherhood, she was instinctively
living up to the great plan, the natur-
al human law as laid down by the
Great Master-the Creator of all.
Those having never known the joy
of parentage or the love for their own
flesh and blood are not fit persons to
decide in a case of this kind. A
similar incident occurred many GEN.
turies ago, however, and it will be re-
membered that King Solomon made 2
quick decision and in favor Of the real
mother.

OREGON CITY LAYS
CLAIM TO SCOTTY

| Help! Up In Oregon they have
moved Death Valley into Arixons
and have made q clean steal o,
Death Valley Scotty, proprietor o,
the valley. The Corvallis Gazette.
Times reports that Scotty is in that
vicinity, working for the Christen.
son Fuel Company as q common Ia.
borer. He is said to be on his way
from Mexico to Alaska, travelling
with a team Of horses and a dog.
Scotty is 70 years old, according
to the farm editor Of the newspaper
who interviewed him, and the editor
does not understand why Scotty is
in "the vicinity Of Corvallis to earn
few dollars when the general be-
lief is that all he has to do Is to
make one Of his mysterious trips
into Death Valley and return with a
load Of gold"
Now, this Is all wrong. Oregon
can steal the malapai from Gold
field, but 1t cans remove Scotty AZ
neighbor on the south. Neither
can it add II years to his life with
out a protest. Nor can Oregon take
Death Valley away from southern
California, because it is possible that
in the near future Los Angeles will
want to annex it as q part of the
city. The editor refers to the "fa-
nous Death Valley district, Ari-
zona," but Scotty's fig trees and his
grape vines are in California and
the valley he made famous Is in the
same state, and not in Arizona. II
Scotty hears how someone in Oregon
is moving his valley around there Is
liable to be trouble, for one thing
Scotty is touchy about is his valley.
Evidently there is an imposter at
| Corvallis who Is stealing Scotty'a
thunder and fooling with his valley
and his gold mine and adding years
to his age. Imagine Scotty driving
horses! Such . thing would be pre-
posterous. He might ride the wildess
but drive them Never! He wal
never known to drive anything but
mules. He even has . chauffeur Ia
navigate his auto. The Death Val
ley Mystery at the steering wheel Of
a team Of horses would scare every
jack rabbit Of the desert.
HE gave out no information a.
to his whereabouts during the past
few years, when he was supposed
by his intimate acquaintance to be
dead except to say that he had been
in Mexico" the Gazette-Times says.
Imagine Scotty dead, or imagine
anyone even believing he ever was
dead. Scotty As far from his ranch
as either Mexico or Oregon would
not be happy for a minute.
No, Scotty is at his ranch, south
Of Goldfield. There is only one of
him, and the death Valley Scotty''
in Oregon had better stay there,
Anyhow he had better keep away
from Death Valley.-Goldheld Trib-
une.

A1RMAN LUCKY TO
REMAIN ON EARTH

"A wierd story Of q mail service
employees experience with high ex-
plosives has been learned recently.
The incident occurred several DAYS
ago the Elko Independent reports, but
is well worth publishing inasmuch as
it tends to illustrate how careless
ness In regards to powder may be
disastrous.
1t seems that the air mail workers
needed some gravel to place upon
the approach of the new hangar.
Gravel was available nearby, but the
difficulty lay in loosening it 30 that
It could be handled easily. It was
finally decided that q charge of
giant powder would accomplish the
work.
A hole about FIVE feet in depth
was sunk in the gravel bed, and
was tamped in place.
Before the fuse was lighted, a
discussion as to the effects Of the
explosive arose. and it was stated
emphatically by one of the men
that giant powder, exploding at the
depth of five feet, would merely
shake up the earth in the i'm
mediate vicinity and would not
shoot gravel high into the air. at
would be just like q small earth
quake" one Of the men is alleged
to have said.
The idea of being in q small
earthquake rather appealed to one
Of the employees, and he announced
his determination to stand over the
exploding powder and experience
the thrills Of = small, artificial
earthquake.
So the fuse was lighted, and the
earthquake-seeking youth stood di-
rectly over the charge Of powder,
which, by the way amounted to
twelve pounds Of powerful "Giant."
The fuse burned slowly and disap-
peared beneath the surface Of the
gravel. The employe still main
tanned his position above the ex-
plosive charge. Finally. however,
his pedal extremities became some
what frigid, and he decided that he
would rather watch an earthquake
from . distance. So he walked
away. He had not gone more than
thirty feet when the powder ex-
ploded with q loud defamation. A
mass Of gravel was lifted bodily to
the height Of about eight feet, and
had the mail employee been stand
ing over the charge when the ex-
plosion occurred, he probably would
have done his future flying with q
pair Of wings. The mail employee,
upon realizing what would have
happened had he not decided that
discretion is the better part of
valor. il reported to have turned q
chastity white.
