BABY'S STATUS
TO BE DECIDED
IN OPEN COURT

Claiming that they are holding his
3-year-old son without a legal right
to do SO, William Taylor today pro-
cured a writ of habeas corpus
against Frank A. Shindlebower and
Stella Shindlebower, in which they
are directed to appear in Judge A. G.
Finney's court January 81 with the
child, so that the court may inquire
into the facts of the case.
The child. Robert w. Taylor, is
held in the Shindlebower home five
miles northeast of Westmorland
said Taylor in his petition to the
court. Neither of the two is guar
dian of the child, according to the
petition. 1t says:
They pretend 10 hold said. in
1ant pending a petition for the
adoption of said infant, but that
the said William Taylor, being the
natural father of said infant, has
not abandoned said infant nor sur
rendered his control of said infant;
nor his right to the custody of said
infant; nor has he consented to the
adoption of said infant by any per-
SON."
All parties to the contention will
appear in court January 81, at which
time Judge Finney will hear both
sides of the case.

TWO INJURED in
HIGHWAY WRECKS
OVER WEEK-EN

Two accidents, one collision
and one the result of deep sand on
the side of the road, resulted in in
juries to two persons during Satur-
day and Sunday, according to rec
ords on file in the office of the
California Highway Patrol.
The injured are Juan Castanedo
of Brawley and r. F. Sarling of
Los Angeles. Sarling was hurt when
when the car in which he was rid
ing overturned II miles east of
Holtville, while Castanedo was in
jured in a wreck on the Calexico
highway. Neither is seriously in
jUred.
Juan Garcia was driving north
500 feet south of the Southern Pa
cific tracks on the Calexico high
way when E. Estrada started to
turn south from a side road. Traf-
fic on the highway was heavy.
Garcia did not see Estrada's signal,
and could not avoid a collision. The
cars hit head on. Castanedo was
riding with Garcia.
Sarling was riding in his own car
driven by Guy H. Parker of Los
Angeles. They were going west,
and, in attempting to pass another
car left the road on the wrong side
of the highway. Skidding from the
heavy sand, the car slid backward
to the other side Of the road, then
turned over, striking on its radia-
tor in a nose dive. Sarling suffered
a wrenched back and bruises.
Traffic officers said today that
from marks on the scene of the
accident Parker must have been
driving at a high rate of speed.
Both Parker and Sarling said the
accident was their own fault.

FOIL ATTEMPTS TO
ROB POST OFFICE

An attempt to burglarize the
Heber post office was frustrated at
$50 yesterday morning when a
watchman fired one shot at sup
posed burglar who had removed
the screen from a window and at
tempted to enter through it.
V. r. Majors, postmaster at
Heber. reported the attempt 70 the
sheriff's office, and asked for a
deputy to take fingerprints from
from the window.
The shot fired by the watchman
did not take effect other than to
frighten the burglar away. Should

ECONOMIC ILLS
SAME ELSEWHERE
Amsterdam Editor Tells of
Visits to Many Lands
on World Tour.
BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

Those who may be dissatisfied With
economic conditions lat home" may
obtain some consolation from the OBJ
Sarvations of DR.. Luis Meier, editor
of the Amsterdam De Telegram, re-
Gently arrived at the Mayhower Hotel
on a tour around the world. that the
economic situation is practically the
same in every country which he has
visited.
Leaving Amsterdam last December,
DR.. Meier first went to Egypt, where
he interviewed both Sidkey Pasha.
'right-hand man" of the King and
Nahas Pasha, popular leader Of the
Nationalist party"
Thence he went to India, where he
talked with the 98-pound Nationalist
leader of that country-Mahatma
Gandhi.
Gandhi Makes Wants Known.
Asked what he really wanted, Gandhi
replied to Dr. Meier, Il want complete
amnesty first of all. I also want COM
plete right of independence, although I
may not use it,
It think Gandhi is sincere as far as
his 1dealism Is concerned" said DR..
Meier. but he is at least so per cent
politician as we'll as idealist. He ex-
ploits his 1dealism for politics"
The journalist remarked that al
though Gandhi was so intensely ma
tionalist, he had received his education
and certain ideas from the British, and
1t was while in South Africa on a
legal case that the little Indian leader
first got his idea of pacif1stic resistance
to the British rule. Like many others,
DR.. Meier shares the view that the
future hopes of a united India depends
entirely upon the settlement of differ
ences between the Hindus and the Mos
lens.
while in Benares," he said, I'VE
could only see half the city because
of the great number Of police called in
to quell the fighting which had taken
place the DAY before between Moslems
and Hindus."
Many Places Visited.
DR. Meijer.s tour included the Straits
Settlements; Siam, which he described
as the most fascinating country of his
whole trip: the Dutch Colonies; the
Philippines; Canton, Hong Kong and
Peiping. where the only signs of unrest
which he observed was an unusually
large number of police In the cities;
Toxic, "a city Of strange mixtures of
east and west; Hawaii, and the United
States.
Since his arrival in the Western
Hemisphere, DR.. Meier has also visited
Havana and the West Indian Islands
Its an amusing thing" said Dr.
Meier, wherever I have gone, have
found the first inclination Of the people
Is to tell me how bad things are at
present. Then realizing I am a news
paper man, they quickly change their
attitude and add. but they are not
any worse here than In any other part
of the world"
And that" concluded the doctor, ais
true"

Experiments carried on by orchard
lists last year showed that traps baited
with molasses or sugar mixed with wa
ter were successful In Turing Oriental
fruit moths. which have been doing
serious damage to peach. apple, ounce
and pear trees. There Is no effective
insecticide for these pests, so far dis
covered, SO the baited traps may prove
the means Of controlling the moths.
Government agricultural experts have
been using one-quart glass containers
as traps and adding small amount Of
aromatic chemical to the sweet mixture
to further increase its attractiveness to
the insects.

METEOR RAIN
IS EXPLAINED
BY SAvANT
By DIR. A. w. RECHT

BY DR.. A. w. RECHT
Astronomer at Chamberlin ObSer.
vatory, Denver University.
Written Especially for Interna-
tiOnal News Service).
ENVER, Dec. IL UN.S0.
Though it may be long time
before earth people make journeys
into outside space, we receive an
nually many visitors from there
as witnessed during mid-November
by the shower of Leonid meteorS
viewed from Chamberlin obser.
vatory.
We counted ninety-one spectacu-
lar meteors in the early hours Of
November IT. If the sky had been
more clear the number would
have probably reached two or
three hundred. There were great
number of spectacular meteorS,
most of which left trails, some en-
during up to several minutes. The
period on the morning of Novem.
ber II, between three and four
o'clock probably represented the
maximum frequency of the Leonid
meteorS for 1881.
The meteorS are invisible until
they strike the atmosphere Of the
earth. Then due to their terrific
speed and the consequent friction.
they burn up with a brilliant flash.
1t is true that occasionally q
meteorite reaches the earth and
we can examine this visitor from
space at close range, but most Of
them are consumed in the air. 1t
has been computed that it would
take $50 of the brighter meteorS
to weigh a gram and over q
thousand could be sent by first
class mail for a two-cent stamp.
Yet each one gives. during its
brief fash. as much energy at
100, 900 electric bulbs burning for
the same length of time.
The meteors are supposed to
be the debris of the solar system.
or the remnants of extinct comets.
Meteors of the latter type travel
in swarms in an orbit which often
intersectS the earth's orbit at
some place. Each year when the
earth reaches the intersection, a
meteor shower is observed. They
appear to radiate from certain
consultations and are called, from
these consultations; the OrionidS.
Leonids, Geminids, etc.
The Leonids appear about mid
November each year. In this
shower the meteors are grouped
at one point. This group also has
a periodic appearance every 80
years-although a few may be
seen each year The main swarm
of Leonids is due in 1882 or 1888.
