THE EVENING STORY

She was taking the pie from the
oven when her 12-year-old son. Don
aid, burst in from school. His eyes
fell upon the dish and he paused.
Il say, mother. that's a peach.
What's in it? Beefsteak? Hooray'

Ellen looked at the handsome,
healthy boy admiringly. She had no
cause to complain of Donald. lie
came as near being model son as a
woman could wish.
Dad was on time for supper. and
around the pie the small family sat
down in the best Of spirits. Donald
told of some funny things that had
happened to him at school. and his
father roared Across the table the
parents eyes met in mutual delight
in their offspring. .Afterward in the
living room, while Donald listened In
at the small radio set he had made
and had devoured the evening paper.
Ellen lifted her eyes from her sewing
to study the shabby room, 1t was
shabby, but clean and homelike.
There were books. comfortable chairs,
a lounge to loll upon if one felt weary.
A dear. ugly room. quite unlike Julia's S
beautiful living room across the way.
The door opened and girl came
in. She was slender, dark, the picture
of Julia.

LORD B|RKENHEAD
UPHOLDS IRISH OATH
Author of Pledge Denies Any
Move Will Be Made for
Modification.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, August 15.-Lord Birken-
head, secretary for India, is the first
member of the British cabinet to COM
ment on the action Of Eamonn de
Valera and his followers in the Fianna
+, Fail Republican party in taking the
oath of allegiance with reservations,
as they announced it. and assuming
their places in the Dali Eireann.
In a statement in the Daily Mail
Lord Birkenhead, who was response
ble for the drafting of the oath of al
legiance embodied in the AnSlo-Irlsn
treaty creating the Free state, salo'
NO modification of the substance
of the Irish Free state oath to the
British Empire could be assented TO
by Great Britain without fundamental
disloyalty to the whole imperial con-
ception, while further disloyaltles
hardly less grave would be involved
Ends Modification Inquiry.
In saying this he was answering a
direct inquiry respecting reported
impending attempt to obtain modifl-
cation of the oath. hope of which was
publicly expressed by John Redmond.
Lord Birkenhead's statement ad-
nlittedly was made in his own behalf,
without consulting his colleagues. and,
he added. that as far as he hims2lt
was concerned nothing in the world
would induce him to whittle down the
oath or allow it's substance to be inn
paired.
Praise for Cosgrave.
The present political crisis in Ire
land. he said. was primarily one for
solution by the Free State leaders
themselves. He thought it all TO the
good that the De Nalerites had taken
their places in the Dali. and he did not
doubt some explanation would even
tualv be forthcoming as to the
ethical process of reasoning which en-
abled men OF professed piety to take
an oath in the name of God which
they SAID they did not intend to keep.
Incidentally he paid tribute heartily
tn the loyalty of President CosgraVe
of the Free State cabinet and his col
leagues toward the treaty. adding:
Greater loyalty there could never be.

KIWANIANS GET
REAL RECKLESS
ABOUT "LINDY':
Married Members May
Have to Do Explaining
Later On.

The Ell Centre Kiwanis club was
enlisted 100 per cent strong to par
ticipate in the "Welcome Home
cele bration for Linda Burrage next
Monday, at rousing meeting of the
club this noon az the Barbara Worth
hotel.
Not only did the Kiwanians
promise their attendance at the
train as a reception committee, but
they went step further by decid-
ing to present "Our Indy with a
bouquet as testimonial of the good
will of her home Gown.
The privilege of buying the bou-
quet was auctioned off by "Doc'
Zinn and was purchased by Herb
Norris at the price OF $40. Herb is
new Kiwanian and when he was
told that the privilege of kissing

quet, he got cold feet and passed the
job on to Dave Roberts, president of

ouet will be held at o clock and is
open to the general public. All those
desiring to attend are requested to
telephone their reservations to the
hotel before Monday afternoon.
Program Growing
With so many wives out of the
valley st present, it is expected the
walters at the hotel may be crushed
in the stampede OF "bachelors to
get seats at the tables. "Big Bill
Tackctt has therefore been engaged
to maintain law and order.
"This thing is growing like a
SNOWFALL rolling down hill,' Fred

GIRLS HUSBAND
AND FATHER in
TOLLS OF LAW

4 rather unique marital tangle
was brought before Judge May
field 5 court this morning and to-
day Frank Mejia, "a, and Manuel
Carpena, 81, are in the county jail.
Mejia is charged with having failed
to provide for his wife while Car
pena, father of the girl, is charged
with perjury. Complaint in both
cases was made by Mrs. Alkaline
Palamar, formerly Mrs. Carpena,
mother of the girl.
According to the facts unravel-
ed before the court this morning the
girls parents separated about 10
years ago. The girl was brought
up by parents of the father and
about year ago came here to live
with her parent.
The mother charges that the faith
er swore that the girl was Is years
of age in order to obtain a marriage
license for her to wed Meiia and
that the girl is only 13 years old.
She charges that after the marriage,
which was performed about month
ago, the husband neglected to care
for the girl.
The father in court this morning
upheld the husband of his daughter.
He said that she had acted in a
manner unbefitting married wo-
man and that the husband had not
failed to provide for her but that
the daughter had disappeared some
time ago.
Might Have Erred
The father also admitted that he
might have been in error relative
to the age of the girl. He said that
he was not sure but that to the
best of recollection she was born In
1911. He said that he told Cal G
Mousseau, county clerk, that he was
not sure Of her age at the time the
license was issued. The license
was issued on June 90 and the fat:l,
er at that time swore to the neces-
sary papers. fixing the age of the
girl at 16 years.
He told the Judge that at the time
he was not anxious to have h.
daughter marry but ne said that he
had had considerable trouble with
her since she had come to live with
him and that he believed if she mar.
fled that she would settle down.
