Fugitive Slave Law
Invoked by Mother
To Recover Children

WASHINGTON, April 19.-An
ancient fugitive slave law which was
amended in 1850 to apply to appren'
ticed minors fleeing from their mas
tiers was invoked today by a Wash
iagton widow to obtain possession
of her two minor children. who, she
declares, have escaped from her and
now are in the state of Virginia. The
district supreme court was asked to
make a transcript of record of the
"fugitives" which the mother may
present to the tribunal of the Old
Dominion in order 10 get her children
back The petition does not say in
what part of the state the children,
now ana years old, respectively,
are living nor why they are being de-
tanned from their mother, Mrs. Ada
M. Trapponier.
The court was told that the girls
father is dead and that the petitioner
under the laws of the District of Co
lumkia is entitled to their service
and labor during their minority. I'm
der the law invoked the master to
whom a minor had been apprenticed
and from whom he had escaped is
authorized to bring such action in
court to obtain possession of the
fleeing apprentice. Since the law
used the term persons to whom
labor is due" the mother seeks to ap-
ply its provision to her effort to re-
cover her children.
The children are named Evelyn
Harriet Breeder, 3, and Ruth Eliza
beth Breeder, Is.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

their bones in public. Nor are we
consoled by the knowledge that the
people who make public exhibitions
of their tempers must enjoy doing
so or else they would not do it.
Yet we all number among our
friends husbands and wives, other
wise estimable and charming indi-
viduals, who always stage their
fights in the msot conspicuous place
they can find, and who seem to
prefer an audience to privacy,
When you meet them for an eve
ning's diversion they are having
preliminary set-to. Perhaps the hus-
band has come home late from the
office, or has forgotten to mail
letter, or possibly the wife has kept
her husband waiting while she did
her hair over the second time. Dur
ing the selection of the dinner they
get warmed up to- the work and put
in some punches with real steam
behind them. They clinch, and bite,
and gouge over the selection of
play, and they reach for each others
vital spots and get in dirty jabs
at the supper dance that follows
| the play.
Doubtless the fighters are enjoy
! ing themselves, but a pleasant time
is not being had by all. The abash-
! ed onlookers know not what to 90.
They do not know whethtt to rush
! in and make 1t a free-for-aH fight
or to try to mediate between the
warning couple, or whether to pre-
tend to have been suddenly stricken
deaf. dumb and blind. And they
wind up by feeling outraged that
| they should have been placed in
such a notifying position, and
wishing heartily that the husbands
and wives would keep their quar-
rels for home consumption and not
inflict them on their friends.
The same structures apply to the
woman who henpecks her husband
That also should be one Of the
quiet home joys that should be
strictly confined to- the domestic
circle.
I raise no voice Of protest against
the woman who has wit and
strength and determination enoug n
to Dust her husband out of his
positions as head Of the house and
assume it herself. 1t is matter
| between the husband and wife, and
| if he hasn't enough spunk to fight
for his rights he deserves to lose
| them.
But why cannot the bossy woman
be content with exercising th.1r
tyranny quietly and unobtrusively?
Why do they insist upon rafting
the chains by which they lead their
husbands until they call public at
tention to them?
Think Of the women you know
who always say my house" my
car my children" Who always
walk ahead of their husbands and
point out seat, and say, John, sit
there" and who always tell John
where to get on and where to get
!, off! And think how all the rest of
us are embarrassed for poor John!
Believe me, dirty linen should be
washed at home, and family quar-
rels staged there. That is one OF the
main things for which homes are
| designed,

moments notice with, or without,
the slightest proVocation. Life has
no dull moments for them, because
they are always saying something
that draws blood, or framing a re-
tort that will cut to the quick, and
the excitement Of a battle to the
death is perpetually thrilling their
nerves.
Without doubt, 1t is a merry land
adventurous ex s t n e for the
doughty domestic warriors who en-
joy that kind of thing! l would not
be cruel enough to deny, them the
CHEEKY pastime of going to the mat

Quarrels are an indoor sport that
should be pursued only when the
participants have sought the seclu-
sion that the cabin grants, as they
used to say in "Pinafore." and when
all the shades have been pulled down
and the keyholes stuffed with cot
tom.
Possibly the lack Of an audience
might take off a Attle of the edge
of the bout for the battling hus-
band and spouse; but, oh, how i'm
measurably it would add to the COM
fort and happiness Of those of us
who are the innocent bystanders
and who are forced to look on, sick
with horror, at these encounters!
In all good truth I know Of no
other situation so miserable and so
embarra ssing as to be called upon to
referee a. fight between a married
couple. Their quarrel is, to begin
with, matter with which we have
no concern; one in which we do not
desire to NEEDLE; one in which we
ardently wish to take neither side.
1t makes us feel like towards to
keep silent while a man hurls deadly
insults at his wife, and We writhe
in vicarious shame while a woman
vituperates her husband.

Dear Children:
When you read this, Easter Sun
day will have passed again. Pur-
posely this year l did not mention
it ahead of time, for it occurred to
me that you might think l felt that
it was necessary to remind you of
the day. [ am wondering if you
had happy day, and hoping that
you did. Surely everything in ma
ture at this season is to remind us
of the beautiful resurrection.
What [ have intended to remind
you of, though, is this: Do not pull
great boughs of dogwooG, if it is
still blooming in your community
do not break big sprays of azalea
or sweetshrub. These flowers fade
so quickly, and because people, big
and little, have made a practice of
ruthlessly breaking branches from
these trees and bushes, our trees
have lost much Of their beauty, and
our Towering bushes are disappear
ing.
Don't you think it is nicer to have
lovely woods to walk through than
to carry for a while faded branch
or spray from these bushes?
