Solicitor for Petitioners.
ORDER OF
PUBLICATION

In the matter OF the petition OF
Robert Eugene Hughes and
Eileen Frances Hughes to
adopt Baby Maupin, infant
born to Constance Maupin,
wife of William Maupin.
IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR
MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
Equity No. 1859.
The object of this suit is to
have Baby Maupin to be the
adopted child of Robert Eugene
Hughes and Eileen Frances
Hughes, and that her name be
Patricia Eileen Hughes, and for
general relief.
The bill recites that Robert
Eugene Hughes and Eileen Fran
ces Hughes are both residents of
Montgomery County, State of
Maryland, and are husband and
wife, and that there is now re-
siding with the petitioners the
said Baby Maupin, the minor
child of Constance Maupin, who
was born September Bird, 1914, in
the District of Columbia; that
the said Constance Maupin is the
lawful wife of William Maupin,
and he deserted her on June 18th,
1941, since which time they have
not cohabited, nor does the said
Constance Maupin know anything
of his present whereabouts, or
whether he is living or dead, and
that said William Maupin is not
the father of said baby; that
said baby was delivered to the
petitioners on November 18th,
1914, at the request of her said
mother, who has not seen said
infant since it left the hospital
shortly after birth, and the Pc
titioners have had the care and
custody of said infant since that
date; that the petitioners are
financially able to support and
educate said infant, and they de-
sire to adopt said infant as their
own child, and to legally give her
the name of Patricia Eileen
Hughes; that no children have
been born to the petitioners and
they have no adopted children,
and they are amply able to main
tain, support and educate said
infant, and are well qualified,
fitted and prepared in every re-
spect to have the custody of said
infant, and they believe her best
interests and welfare will be pro-
NOTED by her adoption by the
petitioners; that said infant has
no estate whatsoever.
1t is thereupon ordered by the
Circuit Court for Montgomery
County, as a Court of Equity
this 26th day of January, A. D.
1915, that the petitioners by
causing copy Of this order to

stance of this petition, warning

If this story was written for the

This wasn't home game either
for the Marines. The Japs held the
terrain advantage. The Marines
showed better teamwork.
They outwitted the enemy on pa

and deceptiveness Of football play
