SYMPATHY.

Office associates in the Veterans Bu-

The story can be told now. for the
hay fever season is over, and Earle can

height of the hay fever scourge Earle
was suffering as only hay fever victims
can. He couldn't breathe and his
tear ducts worked overtime.
Into his office walked a woman
worker for a charity organization,
pleading for little donation. Earle
heard her speech and while she was
talking tears streamed down his face,
punctuated by coughs. She didn't
know it was hay fever. Earle gave
her little donation and as she left
the Office she said to some of Earle's

Now, Of course, Little Miss swiftly

when she was quite sure the Dog was
shut up. She was very cautious about
1t. She went all around the hen yard
and the hen house. She looked them
over carefully until she knew all about
them. She located every possible hid

cred for herself that there was no
getting into the hen house. The door
was closed every night. That meant
that there was no chance to get one
of those Hens at night. If one Of
them was to be caught it would have
to be done in broad daylight.
She began to spend a good deal of
time each day watching that hen yard
from distance. She discovered that
on some days the Hens were kept
shut in the hen yard. On some days
they were allowed to roam around the
farmyard. The hen yard had a high
wire fence. She felt sure she could
climb that fence, but she was smart
enough to know that that would be q

Loses Court Battle for
Custody of Infant.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, March 14.-Pretty
Juanita Borg, who fought her mil
lionaire father n-law for the right
to bring up her own son, lovingly
fondled the blond curls of her IS
months-old prize today.
The future of pink checked, rolv-
poly George Marshall Borg Jr., was
left to his 19-year-old mother by a
court order of Judge Michael Fem
berg, which not only declared her
fit" but reprimanded George w.
Borg, the grandfather, for the
"grievous error" of trying to direct
the lives of his son and the sons
wife.
Grandfather Borg, 40, and chair
man of the Borg-Warner Corp,
said he was delighted" to be re-
lieved of the responsibility which
he sought in asking custody of the
child. The father, Marshall Borg,
Il, said he hoped he could visit his
wife and baby.
Mrs. Borg and her husband were
juveniles when they married. When
the baby came the grandfather gave
them a six-room cottage near Della
van, Wis.
It was then, Juanita told the
court, that she first realized the
senior Borgs influence over her
husband.
Her husband testified he wasn't
satisfied with the way Juanita
cared for the child. The grand
father, too, was reported dissatis-
fed.
Later. young Borg came to Chi
cago to work. Juanita said she
wanted to go along. Marshall, she
said, replied, mo; father wants the
baby and you to stay in Delavan."
When the mother left Delavan
with the baby it was to file suit for
separate maintenance. The grand
father filed suit for a writ of ha-
beas corpus, asking custody of the
child.
Judge Felnberg declared the only
point in issue was Juanita's fit
ness.
Her mother, she said, would help
care for the baby.
Judge Feinberg admitted that
the grandfather was ''indulgent. y
"But subsequent events show that
his efforts did not produce the best
results" he added.
"Mr. Borg has lived his life and
performed his share in life," the
judge went on. HE makes griev-
Gus mistake in raising infants. He
can not regulate these young peo-
