Widow Inroket Old SIato
Law to Secure Children
Washington.—Ah ancient fagltim
■lave law which was amended in 18&'
to apply to apprenticed minora fleeing
from their masters was invoked by a
Washington wldotf to obtain posses
sion of her two minor children, who,
she declares, have escaped from her and
now are in the state of Virginia. The
District Supreme court was asked to
make a transcript of record of the
•‘fugitives’* which the mother may pre- j
sent (o the tribunal of the Old Domin- j
ion in order to get her children back, j
The petition does not say in what part j
of the state the children, now nine and
six years old, respectively, are living,
nor why they are being detained from
their mother, Mrs. Ada M. Trapponler.
The court was told that the girls’ fa
ther is dead and that the petitioner, j
under the laws of the District of
Columbia, is entitled to their service
and labor during their minority. Un- j
der the law invoked the master to
whom a minor had been apprenticed
and from whom lie bad escaped is au
thorized to bring such action in court
to obtain possession of the fleeing ap
prentice. Since the law used the term
“persons to whom labor is due,” the
mother seeks to apply its provisions to
her effort to recover her children.

COOLIDGE TALKS
TO BOY SCOUTS
President Addresses Boys In New
York With Discussion Of Funda
mentals Of Scouthood In
America.
' Washington, July 25.—Reverence for
nature, for law and for God were
laid down as the fundamentals of Boy
Scouthood and of American institu
tions by President Coolidge in an ad
dress delivered tonight at the White
House and transmittedby telephone
to a farewell meeting''^ 5 'New York
for agroup of Boy Scouts who will
sail tomorrow to attend an interna
tional gathering of the organization
in Copenhagen.
“There was no Boy Scout organiza
tion in my boyhood, but every boy
who has the privilege of growing up
on a farm learns instinctively the
fundamentals of scoutism,’ the presi
dent said.
“The first is a reverence of nature.
Boys should never lose their love of
the field* and the streams, the moun
tains aad the plains, the open places
and the forests. That love will be a
priceless possession as your years
lengthen out 'There is new life in
the soil for every man. There is
healing in the trees for tired minds
and for our overburdened spirits
there is strength in the hills, if only
we will lift up our eyes. Remember
that nature is your great restorer.
Reverence for Law.
“The second is a reverence for law.
I am thrilled at the thought of my
audience tonight, for I never address
boys without thinking that among
them may be a boy who will sit in
this White House. Somewhere there
are boys who will be presidents of
our railroads, presidents of colleges,
of bajiks, owners of splendid farms
and useful industries, members of
congress, representatives of our peo
ple in foreign lands. That is the
heritage of the American boy. It was
an act of magnificent courage, when
our ancestors set up a nation wherein
any boy may aspire to anything That
great achievement was not wrought
without blood and sacrifice. Make
firm your resolution to carry on nobly
what has boon so nobly begun. Let
this nation, under your guidance, be
a finer nation. Resolve that the sacri
fices by which your great opportu
nities have been purchased will be
matched by a sacrifice, on your part,
that will give your children even a
better chance.
Reverence for God.
“The third is a reverence for God.
It is hard to see how a great man
can be an atheist Without the sus
taining influence of faith in a divine
power we could have little faith in
ourselves. We need to feel that be
hind us i s intelligence and love.
Doubters do not achieve; skeptics do
not contribute; cynics do not create.
Faith is the great motive power and
do man realizes the full possibilities
unless he has the deep conviction
that life is eternally important and
THURSDAY, JULY M, Xi
that his work wall done, hi a part of
an unending plan.
“These are not only some of the
fundamentals of the teaching of the
Boy Scouts, they are the fundamen
tals of our American institutions. If
you will take them with you, if you
will, be living examples of them
abroad, you will make a great con
tribution toward a better understand
ing of our own country and receive
in return a better understanding of
other countries, for you will find in
foreign lands, to a very large extent,
exactly what you carry there your
selves. I trust that you can show to
your foreign associates in the great
scout movement that you have a deep
reverence for the truth and are de
termined to live by it; that you wish
to protect and cherish your own coun
try and contribute to the well being,
right thinking and true living of the
whole world.”
