Stella K. Wilkinson brought eult yesterday against her mother-in-law, Mrs. Eva M. Wilkinson for alienating the affections of her husband, E. Wilkinson; She asks $25,000 damages and tells how her mother-in-law put her in discard by displaying: a too great affection for her son.

The alleged result of the cruelty systematically practiced by the was, the young wife says, to drive her from her home in Alham-bra. It continued, she asserts from Dec. 1, 1910, to January 13 last. Mother-in-law, according to the complaint and the monopolized too much of her son's company. When Me returned from work she met him at the front door and greeted him with a kiss.

In the morning she walked with him to the car. They kissed and hugged each other; he sat lap and she sat on his lap. She crawled into bed with her son when his wife was lying at his side. Standing out significantly in the complaint is the statement that mother-in-law solicited the compliments of her son "as to her buxom form." and comparing It with wifey's slender shape. The wife saya her mother-in-law declared she could not allow any one to come between her son and her-aelf.

She encouraged him in going with other girls. There was the trip to Mt. Wilson, told in the divorce trial this month, when he was seen to caress and give a good-night kiss to one of the prettiest girls. Mother-in-law thought it was all right for son to flirt and she advised him to do so, wifey says. Now this was awful enough to a young wife, but to have to do the housework, while mother-in-law took charge of everything, even to the management of Emmet the four-year-old son, was overdoing a good thing she alleges.

So now she wants mother-in-law to pay for the distress of mind she is alleged to have caused by her cruelty. Mrs. Wilkinson was married in 1910, when she was 17, She resides with her mother, Mrs. F. Ross, at Florence and Santa Fe avenues.

Ever since they were married, she says, mother-in-law resided with them. nORXET'S NEST. CHILD IS RETURNED. Because, as she believed, she was child, ilrs. Ella Slawson took her niece Fay Nettleton, 12 years old, to Juvenile Hall Friday night and in so doing stirred up a hornet's nest.

Mrs. Slawson consulted Miss Frances Byrum, assistant probation officer, and she was advised that the father is the natural custodian of his child.

"But Fay came to my house," re Dlied Mrs. Slawson and said she would not go back to her home. I took her to Juvenile Hall as a safe place oe cause Fay's home conditions were not congenial." Miss Byrum declined, to act in the matter, and finally Mrs. Slawson went to Juvenile Hall and returned ay to her own home. As the child was no longer outside of her father's custody, Judge Works declined to issue the order on the ground that there was nothing for him to do.

Mr. Nettleton claims though hi attorneys that the alleged abduction of the child was spite work. Mrs. Slawson denied this. FLAYS DEMON RUM.

Peterman to restrain the latter from using the trade-mark "Wilcox'' in connection with sight-seeing tours, that a partner, ship existed at the time the men discontinued their business relations and that either Is entitled to the use of the name.

Because the testimony 'ight out the fact that liquor had plsyed a part in the severance of business relations, Judge Thomas handed Demon Rum one of his characteristic punches. He observed that in practically all except prdbate cases which he has tried in the local courts "liquor has In somo manner played a part, and In many cases it was the direct result of the litigation. While I have lived forty-eight years without touching a drop of liquor, many of my very best friends are addicted to it. "Some of the biggest-hearted men of my acquaintance drink, and If I was down and out and needed assistance. I believe I would go to some of these men who drink and ask for help.

They are the kind of men who. If they had onlv had half a dollar would share half of it. So while I love some men who drink I would love them more If they did not. When I obsorve the damning effect of liquor I simply cannot refrain from expressing my sincere feeling in regard to its abuse and use in nearly every caso that comes under my observation." In passing, might be siild that one of the women, whose husband was Interested in the CHe, said she hoped the court would "hand out a shot on the drink evil- HASTY CASE. LETTERS ARE GRANTED.

YOCATIOXATj EXPEUT urges a PRACTICAL SCHOOL, Educator Tells City Club Members that Two-thirds of American Youth Leave School Too Early from Choice Rattier than from Necessity. Meyer Bloomfleld, dlrictor of the vocational bureau of Boston and lecturer on vocational guidance at Harvard, addressed the City Club yesterday at its weekly luncheon, telling the members that the great fault with the American educational system Is that th schools teach subjects In stead of teaching children.

"Two-thirds of tha children who leave school during the period of adolescence leave from choice rather than from necessity," said Mr. Bloomfleld. "These conditions are shown by numerous surveys in tha figures generally scree. The children leave because the schools simply prepare them for other achools and for advanced courses Instead of rrepar-Iner them to meet the problems of life."
