Ttie's few finer e\|?erleiices than runliii' inf a mistake in our favor. Again we desire to express our appreciation of the good work being done now by the country correspondents of The Advance. We ain't what you might called favorably impressed with having the present House of Representatives name the next President. When thieves fall out jus', men get their dues, according to the ancient maxim. But what h to be the sequel of a Kepub'i can's being thrown out of a sec-| ond story window remains to be' seen. Th Advance would like to get \ some expert opinion on the' question of how much the re- 1 cent storm was worth to North I Carolina in the way of cutting | down the expense of opening New Inlet. Oil the Run Criminal terms of Superior Court always keep this scribe on the run, the matter of making a try at keeping up with what is going on in the courthouse, as well as on his regular beat, making consider able leg work and head work necessary, especially as a considerable part of the editor's day has to be taken up with details of business manage ment. But we'll be frank to say that cases have been disposed of in Judge Devin's court this week at such a rate as to work the editor just a little harder than he ever remembers to have worked in any previous session. As a consequence his desk is piled high with neglected cov respondence, unfinished busi ness, and unread exchanges. Well, here's hoping that we can catch up next week. The truth is, though, that the editor's job since the Advance became an eight page news paper keeps about a half a day ahead of him pretty nearly all the time, despite his best ef forts through a 15 to 18 hour day. Here's hoping that "School News" may develop a good cub reporter for us by the time we are able to pay one a beginner's modest salary.

Rarrie, but she and the famous auth jor and playwright agree on one car Idinal point. It is that if you don't | believe in fairies, you don't "be long.** IP-cause her mother didn't believe In fairies, or any of the little make believe games so dear to the hearts of young folks of all ages. Kathleen has ju8t handed down a decision de nying herself "to Mrs. Patrick Mal loy, a Government employe at Wash ington, and awarding custody of her self to Mrs. Charles Welghtman, who does "belong." Kathleen, of course, acted through Judge Hugo Pant of the Domestic Relations Court in making her deci sion, but it was her decision never theless. The case is one of the mbst un usual that has ever been decided in the local courts. It seemed at first to be merely the old flglit of a moth er who had boarded out a child while she made a living. When | Kathleen was three months' old. her | mother placed her In the care of Mr. | and Mrs. Welghtman, who have two children* of their own. For near ly 12 years Kathleen saw her real ? mother only intermittently. I Six months ago she came to Chica go and instituted court proceedings to obtain enstoiy of Kathleen.

The store (of White & Company was robbed of I $500 worth of merchandise Tuesday, night, including 20 silk dresses, sev eral men's suits, suit cases and a! bicycle.

The court compromised I by telling Kathleen to go stay with t ; her mother for six weeks aud see ! how she liked it. When the six weeks were up, i Kathleen wanted to live with Mrs. | Weightman. The court placed her in a "neutral" home for four more i months, authorizing Mrs. MalloFy to j visit the child whenever she wished, i in an effort to-win her back, i A few days a?o Kathleen was re minded that the four months were j nearly up and was told the court pro bably would give lier to her mother. She telephoned Judge Pant and I begged for a hearing. Tuesday she 1 had her day in court, and this is j what she told the judge: "I iried to love my mother. I ! cannot, and I am very sorry. She ' said she wanted me always, but she ! never kissed me when I went to bed. , She said 1 was too old for that. She said I wasted time making doll ; clothes and that I was too old to play with dollies. She was never in terested when 1 tried to read stories aloud to her. Said they were 'silly.' Mabe-believe games, she told me, are foolishness. "When I tried to talk to her, she! , told me that little girls should be: j seen and not heard. Please, Judge !
