LEGISLATION ON
BARBER COLLEGE
in WASHINGTON
WOULD REQUIRE MUCH sPz-
cIAL TRAINING; VARIOUS
OTHER MEASURES INTRO
DUcED
BY PRESTON GROVER
eMv Ansorsnaed ssrcns,

WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.-Be-
fore another day passes we must
let you in on some of the import
ant legislation before this Con-
gress.
Take, for instance, the matter
of BARRIERS.
Rep. James L. Quinn of Penn
sylvania has introduced a bill to
license Washington BARRIERS, re-
quire special training and thou
sand hours of experience in APP
premiership.
A further requirement is that
every barber college have a sign,
Barber College" over every door
INTO the place. That would be to
prevent person strolling into a
barber college by mistake and
having his hair snatched off by a
sophomore barber who hadn't yet
read chapter IL on shingling.
Could that have happened to
Mr.. Quinn and be the explanation
of his bills stern words?
Gun citing
Rep. Malcolm Tarver of Geor-
gia has introduced a. bill to re-
quire anyone transporting guns
interstate to get a permit from
Canaan Hoover. That includes
duck guns as well as tommy
guns but it is intended primarily
to trap criminals who forever are
carrying guns back and forth
across state lines. Just SO sports
men would not be horribly out
ragged by such a measure, the bill
would authorize Hoover to except
them from too much regulation.
Pulaski Day
Casimir Pulaski was one OF
those dashing European officers
who lent military skill and social
prestige to the American revolu-
ton. A Polish noble, he attempt
ed to capture King augustus in
1773 without. success and soon
was Philadelphia-bound minus his
estates. He fought two years in
the American revolution as a gen.
eral, dying of wounds at Savan-
nah. Ca, October IL. 1879.
Pulaski associations and individ-
uals have memoralized state legis-
latures and congress for years to
have October IL set aside as a
holiday. President Roosevelt We
toed one such bill in 1884 with the
explanation that many generals
from abroad helped, as much as
Pulaski and to single out one
would open the door for holiday
ing all the rest. In 1885 and
1886, however, he signed bills to
set aside the day for one year
only. f94i
Now Senator Lonergan of Con-
necticat has bill in for 1887.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-10-12

Mrs. LuVle Pearson, wife of well-known newspaper COluni- mist and author, Drew Pearson, Is shown above with her son, Tyler Abell, as they appeared in London shortly after Tyler was restored tO her by court order. She travelled to the Island of Sark to recover him from his father, George Abell, her di- vOrced husband.
 Richter home, and registered It's birth as Florence Ann Richter, The Richters reared her as their own.
 That was two years and half ago. Now Miss Staszkie, better able to care for Q child herself, wants Florence Ann, and has start ed proceedings In Circuit Court to get her back. But the RichterS have also learned to love Florence Ann, and between these loves, the law must choose.
 Dr. Rose forms link between this case and another recent one in which a mothers love for her child led her to snatch the little one from the very arms of It's foster mother not long ago.
 Couldn't Be Kept Down
 Donald Horst was the child, about the same age aS Florence Ann. He had been reared by Otto and Mrs. Horst as their own. In fact, Mrs. Horst had even hidden the truth from her husband, and Horst himself believed Donald was their child. So Dr. Roses falsify- ing of the birth records, listing the child as Donald Horst, drew only light fine when, faced with the charge later, he said he only want ed to give the boy e good home and protect his name
 But here again, the love of the real mother for Donald could not be kept down indefinitely. One day when Mrs. Horst was out walking with Donald, a young woman snatched him from Mrs, Horsts very arms and fled.
 It was Kidnapping, and sensa. ton. Then 1t was learned that the "kidnaper" was none other than Lydia Began, the real mother of the child, for she turned him over to police later and awaited the laws decision.
 In this case, the law not only awarded Donald to the Horsts, but later confirmed his offlcial adoption by them.
 So desperate an act as that of

charges were dropped when Frank was returned to his mother,
 Even More Complex
 The law had another knotty problem on It's hands at drayslake, H., where Mrs. Elizabeth Russell faced c charge of "kidnaping" her son, Frederick Kanileiter, 14 yeara old, from his foster parents, Mir, and Mrs. Fred Reuss of Cedar Grove, Ind.
 Even more complex was the af- fair of the Anthony Robinos. Tho wife charges that Robino stole the child from her home in Crystal City, Mo. She overlook him by flying to New York and persuaded hini to leave the Italian liner Sa- turnia with le-lnonth- -old An thony. Once of the boat Mrs, Robino grabbed the child and fled in a taxi, but Robino overlook her and SnAtched it away again. Mrs. Robino charged him with kidnap- ing. This case has not yet been settled. %
 And 1t will be difficult to settle as are all those iii which mother and father love, and even the love Of foster-parents must be weighed and balanced, For there appears to be an increasing number of cases in which love refuses to be restrained by law.

Romance Comes Again
 There romance came again and she married famous orchestra conductor Werner Jansen. Per- haps because of this happy solu- ton, the order for her arrest was resclnded, and she was able to rec turn to the United States with Jansen, where the three are now reported to be exceptionally happy.
 The broad see was also no bar- Tier to Mrs. LuVie Pearson, wife of Washington columnist and author Drew Pearson. Mrs. Pearson'S first husband, George Abell, had taken their son Tyler to the remote Isle of Sark in the English Channel. The divorce agreement that they were to share custody of Tyler had apparently broken down.
 Tracing Abeil to Sark, Mrs. Pearson was able to secure the boy and carry him to London, where she appealed to tho courts to pre- vent Abell from interfering with her custody, Here again, after the conflict between mother and father love, the law faces the problem of final settlement.
 Similar cases have been crop. ping up with increasing frequency, Only last year Frank B. Whitaker, Sd, was kidnapped" by his father from his mothers home in Atlanta, Ga. Whitaker was indicted, but

 A hike to snow.capped Mount Mansfieid today will oiiicialiy open the club activities for the year. Rev. Edward J. Thing, s. g. F., former Montreal hockey star will direct the work of the club.

Mother Love MOckS at Man-Made
 Rules on Adoption and Divorce
Chicago Has Latest
 Case of Strange Child TriangleS
By NEA Service

Chicago, Oct. 12-The law is very wise and sage. It embodies the thought and experience of centuries. Yet it seems strangely helpless sometimes, when 1t runs headlong into divorce, adoption and a mo- ther's love.
 For though the law is very old, mother love is older, and though the law may be very powerful and majestic, yet that intangible and ethereal thing called a mothers love has never hesitated to chal- lenge it. And though the law is very wise, the problems presented to 1t by mother love have tested its wisdom since Solomon and probably before.
 So in the case on which all Chi cago has its eyes today, the most recent in 8 series of child-and- parent complications in which par- entS have not hesitated to take the law into their own hands and their children into their own arms.

 Della Staszkie was only l6 years old and unmarried when she came to friends announcing that she was about to have a child. The friends, MT. and Mrs. Paul Richter, felt sorry for her, agreed to help.

Mrs. Began, daring the law and the odium that attaches to even suspicion of the despicable act of kidnapping is no longer unique. In so many other recent cases have desperate mothers, moved by love that will not be restrained, taken the law into their own aching arms, that 1t Is being freely asked whether the law has really and finally solved the problem of the mother separated from her child by circumstances or divorce.
 The inuch-admired Ann Har- ding, movie actress, was tho hero- inc of an escapade that was more melodramatlc than any of her own screen roles. Separated and then divorced from her husband, Harry Bannister, a dispute arose over their 8-year-old daughter Jane. Miss Harding, seeking to get Jane out of the reach of Ban mister, started with the child to England.
 Bannister, equally desperate (for there Is such a thing as father love, tool filed Kidnapping charges against his former wife.

Good Evening.

 INTRODUCTORY
 In 1492 Columbus sighted western shores,
 Islands where the surf beat still rOars
 Manned trim fleet, ships to number three
 Set out determined to navigate the sea.
 For days and weeks those three ships tossed,
 It was the widest ocean they had ever crossed Was the earth round or flat? This was the acid test That's why Columbus and his men sailed west.
 Along about 1474 Columbus, Genoese navigator, got the idea he'd like to sail west to discover the East Indies Failing in efforts to get support for such wild goose sea chase he went Spain in 14S5 At length 1sa bella of Spain gave him break and s-s-s-o on fine August day with the fleet of three the Nina, the Pna' and the Santa Maria he set forth the worlds most famous cruise
