HOTHER SWOONS AS SONS PLACED IN FATHER'S CARE
Judge White Modifies Original : Divorce Decree Following Hearing in Circuit Court Here,
IN the bush that followed presenta- tion of the evidence yesterday in the effort Donald Cluxton, Joplin business man, to have a divorce de- cre'e of three years ago modified so that he and not the mother. Mrs. Beste Oluzton of Springfield, might have the custody of their_ two sons, Judge White spoke slowly.
"The court has endeavored to take Into account only the welfare of these boys," he said, and father and mother, ogsted at . the' counsel table leaned forward nervously, Donald, Jr., 15. and. "Claudie, 14, seated just behind them, 'moved forward to hang on every word.
Boys Given to Father .
.Therefore," .continued the judge. "I have decided to modify the decree. The boys will be placed in their father's custody." :
A sob cecaped the mother as. she swooned, and the elder of the boys started forward.
"I want to stay with mother." he sald, and followed Judge .White into his office.
A conference then was held, after which Judge White said he would not change his ruling.
Granted 3 Years Ago
The decree granted three years ago provided that the mother should have custody of the boys except during July and August each year .. They were spending the summer with the father in Joplin when he learned that the mother, who has been making her home with her parents, Mr. and Mra. J. D. Bpringer in Springfield. planned to move to Tucumcari, New Mexico, with them and take the boys with. her. He then began proceed- Ings to obtain the custody of the boys, and placed them in school in Joplin. "Under Judge, White's ruling. they will remain with the father in Joplin and continue their school work there.
'MY HOME TOWN' Backward Glimpses By Spring- fieldians to 'Places They've Loved and Still Cherish
By CELIA RAY
R. RITCHIE ROBERTSON, head of the music department of Springfield public schools "and rector of the famous - Boy Scout. band' traveled many miles to come to his pres- ent home from the old ' home town. which was Burntis- land, county of Fife, Scotland.
The picturesque little town which Mr. Robertson left in 1900 is on the sea- side ten miles . from Edinburgh.
Robertson
. "Burntisland is a beautiful sum- mer resort," said Mr. Robertson. "It also is a railroad center and a ship- ping center from which coal is sent to all parts of the world. It has two golf courses, a very beautiful bath- ing beach and is a favorite summer resort for city people.
"On clear days-September days such as this, particularly, one can see the streets of Edinburgh from Burntisland."
Mr. Robertson left his old home town because a change of climate was recommended for his health. He has not returned there for a visit since 1906, and while he cherishes pleasant memories of the lovely sea- side town, he has found Springfield so satisfying as a "home town" he : vastly prefers it to all others. This | city has no more ardent booster than the man who has waved the baton \as the Boy Scout band marched to fame.
"While I believe a man should never forget his bome, I don't know that I ever want to live anyplace except Springfield," said Mr. Rob- ertson .. -
"I am proud of this olty. I don't see how any man can live in Spring- field without being proud of It. We have so many things here for which ¡we can feel gratified. Springfield Is an ideal city in which to rear a family and it is improving all the time."

'MY HOME TOWN'
Backward Gumpses By Spring-' fieldians to Places They're Loved and 8till Cherish ·
By CELIA RAY
THE west-even no further west than Cedarvale, Kan .- was still wild and woolly when H. P. Study. superintendent of Springfield schools, went there as a boy of 6 with his parents from Fountain City. Ind.
The nearest railroad to Cedar- vale was at Gre- nola. Kan .. 20 miles away. From there the family took a stage to the 900-acre ranch on which they settled Study four and one-half miles southeast of Cedarvale.
"I walked three and one - half miles to school," recalls Mr. Study. "I almost can see the old ravines across which I walked and the hole through which I climbed in the ; hedge fence.
"Indians from the territory often came up to our country and my par- ents sometimes feared they might
carry me. away. Those old hills ! looked high to me as a boy and the streams seemed very large. When I go back there I always am impressed with the fact that the country looks almost flat compared to what It did to me then."
In those days Cedavale i typical frontier town. Drinking and gambling thrived. The Dalton gang : of outlaws and the Starr gang paid ' frequent visits to the town although they never raided it as the Dalton -
ganz did Coffeyville.
Mr Study recalls that when hc was about 12 years of age he went to vale to spend the night with a trend. He became so home sick about night he decided he i couldn't stay; . His brothers were In : Cedarvale drNing a fast gaited horsc hitched to a light vehicle.
"I got so homesick I started run- ning toward home." laughed Mr Study. "my brothers always affirmed that they drove along behind me trying to overtake me and I ran so fast they couldn't."
Mr. Study was graduated from the : high school in Cedarvale. There in the old opera house he took the pa:t . of the villain in the class play was a thrilling hour-so overwhelni- ing, that Mr. Study recalls he fell down and lost the false mustache upon which he was relying for a convincing impersonation of
the villain.
