MEGOTHAVICH HELD
 FOR HIGHER COURT
Ezpectant Mother, "A, Tells Of
 Attack During Night

A 14-year-old expectant mother testified in police court today to an assault which she alleged was com mitted in the dead of night by John Megothavich, 50, of 137 Kelsey street, while he was a boarder in her parents home on or about May l, and, after the states case was entire ly before the court, Judge w. F. Mangan, representing Megothavich, declared that her story was "abso- lutely preposterous." although he ad- mitted that there was sufficient evil dence before the court to justify holding Megothavich for superior court. Judge M. D. Saxe bound him over to the September term in bonds og s2,40O, the charge being carnal abuse of female minor.
 Megothavich was arrested yester- day by Sergeants Feeney and O'Mara after information had come to Miss Ruth E. Bristoll, woman probation officer, which she transmitted to De- tectve Sergeant McCue. Dr. D. w. O'Connell testified to the girls con- dition, and in reply to Judge Man gan he said he based his conclusion on the physical examination which he gave her and not on anything she told him.
 Says He Overpowered Her
 The girl told her story in detail, alleging that she had been over powered by Megothavich while she was sleeping and that when she threatened to tell her mother he warned her that if she did he would tell something on my mother" About two weeks prior to the alleg ed assault, he tried to force her to sit on his lap while her mother was out in the yard feeding chickens, she said. She did not tell her mother, however, she admitted to Judge Mangan.
 The girls father testified that when Megothavich was summoned to his home after the girls condi- ton became known, the former boarder told him to spend $100 for medical expenses, and if more money were needed he would pro- vide it. The money represented a loan by Megothavich when the wit ness bought a house some time ago. 4 brother of the girl was present during the conversation and admit ted that he threatened MegothaVich with bodily harm and would have beaten him had his father not been present. Judge Mangan agreed that it was a very natural impulse under the circumstances.
 Miss Bristol testified that the girls brother-inlaw brought the matter to her attention and she in terviewed the girl, who accused the former boarder, and then the police wre brought into it.
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods. ask ing for a bind over, referred to the straightforward story" told by the girl, but Judge Mangan replied that the story actually was not in accord in essential details with the version of the girls father and brother as to the interview with the former boarder. However, he admitted that there was nothing for Judge SaXe to do but hold Megothavich for superior court on a probable cause finding. "I have the highest regard for Dr. O'Connell, both as to his ability and his honesty, and if he says the girl is in a delicate condi- tion of two and half months dura- ton, I believe it to be so, but I do not believe this man is responsible and I am convinced that it did not happen in the manner she describ ed" he said

 Deplore Immoiest Dress
 Prec eding the adoption of these, delegates to the society and 10 the Catho olic Central Nerein Of America heard addresses deploring the al lrged immodesty of present fashions in dress and the practice of birth control.
 The resolution on feminine skirts deplored the trend on the part o girls and women, who by displaying too much of their physical form have become a source of temptation 10 all men, young and old"
 The birth control resolution as- serted that the dominant motive be- hind the movement lis not the eco- homie consideration, but the desire 10 shirk the responsibilities of large families and the desire of many mothers to escape the sacrifices de- manded of them.'

THE COWBOY AVIATOR

When Urban r. Diteman, Jr., de- eided on a solo flight to Europe ne probably had it in mind to become as famous as Colonel Lindbergh. He had read all about the colonei s great success in life since making ms famous dash to France and was consumed with an ambition to do likewise. If successful, life in the future would be easy and wealth would come his way. If not success ful-wen, probably Diteman never gave that possibility thought,
 It looks as if Ditcman virtually committed suicide. Should he never be seen alive again his Golden Hind" will have been the tenth plane to descend into the Atlantic with deaths in store for Fl ad- venturous pilots and passengers. Eleven more fortunate fliers forced down at sea, were rescued.
 In one of the numerous magazines devoted to aviation there recently appeared an advertisement that vir- tually was a call to young men to go into q calling that was far diff ferent from the humdrum activities of ordinary life. Here was a chance for adventure, fame and fortune, the ad said; and no doubt much of what comes under the heading ot contributing to the development ot aviation is this appeal to the adven- turousness that lies dormant in most youths.
 To be adventurous is all right a: far as it goes: but at all times there is need for a mixture of sense witt the spirit that is willing to chance life against almost certain destruc- ton. Motivated by a good cause such hcroism is admirable. But what in these Atlantic flights, is the actual motive?
