AFFECTING SCENE
Mother Kissed Children Good-Bye
in Court.
GIVEN TO GRANDPARENTS
Judge Kittrell Makes an Order Going
Into the Case Fully, Giving Rea-
sons for Taking Children from
Either Divorced Parent.
The application of Mrs. Maggie Davis for
a writ of assistance to secure the control
and custody of her two minor children,
which was tried before Judge Norman G.
Kittrell of the Sixty-first district court yes-
terday morning, resulted in the children
being awarded temporarily to the care of
their grandparents, the mother and father of
Mrs. Davis' divorced husband.
Mrs. Davis on August 17 was granted a
divorce from her husband by Judge Kittrell,
and there being no contest? she was awarded
the custody of the two children. After
being awarded their custody, Mrs. Davis at-
tempted to secure control of them from her
husband's family, but she met with resist-
ance and it then became necessary for her
to apply to the court for assistance, which
she did and, to her surprise, the court de-
cided that neither she nor her husband were
In a position to care for them.
After Judge Kittrell rendered his decision,
Mrs. Davis, with tears trickling down her
ofljeeks, kissed her two babies and then at-
tempted to kiss her former husband, but he
resisted.
THE COURT'S ORDER.
Judge Kittrell in deciding the case ordered
the following decree entered:
"Be it remembered that on this day camo
to be heard the contest for the custody of
the children, Albert Wilson Davis and Marie
Elizabeth Davis, and the te.atimony having
been heard the court finds a.s follows: That
while the children and the parents lived to-
gether the children were neglected, l*Uf clad
and half fed and that either from indiffer-
ence or inability the father did not provide
for them and the mother could not, and that
for sometlilng like sixteen months the chil-
dren have been in the keeping of their
grandpaxents, most worthy people, a'nd the
children are well dressed, bright, clean and
healthy in appearance, evidently happy.
"The wages the mothef now receives are
manifestly Inadequate to enable her to care
for the children, as they should be in
physically and morally healthful surround-
ings; ami because from all the facts in evi-
dence it is evident that the welfare of the
children will be best promoted by leaving
them where they now are, it is ordered
that they be and are hereby committed tem-
porarily to the care and custodv of their
grandparents. J. W. and Mary C. Davis, and
not in any sense to the ca.re of their father,
and it is further ordered that the mother
shall have the right to visit them at all
reasonable times, and in case of any denial
of said right the court reserves the right
to enter such further order as will perpetu-
ate the terms of this decree. The court re-
serves the right to change or modify the
terms of this decree at svich time, if any,
as conditions may require such change."

DR. J. ALVIN H0RNE.
The Great Specialist at His Practice
Again.
Dr. J. Alvin Home, the noted specialist,
has lust returned from New York, where he
took a post graduate course in surgery.
Although known in the medical world as
an eminent surgeon, Dr. Home does not be-
lieve in resting on his laurels. Science trav-
els at a terrific pace, and the practicing
physician who desires to keep in the front
rank of the profession must visit the clinics,
hospitals and universities of the large cities
of the North, where all kinds of diseases
are treated every day. and where the newest
methods in medicine and surgery are ap-
plied. Therefore it seems very commendable
in Dr. Home that he sacrifi?*s a few weeks
of every year, which means thousands of
dollars, to be in a position to lend aid to
suffering humanity. What was good treat-
ment a year ago may be relegated and dis-
carded "oday as out of date. .
Th rid moves swifter and swifter in
notl than the practice of medicine.

AUTOMOBILES
IN THE SOUTH
It has been less than six years since the
first automobile came to Houston, and now
they exceed 109 in number. The first was
one of those little old-fashioned steamers.
The first regular dealer to invade the city
was G. W. Hawkins. He brought the first
gasoline machine to Houston. The firm
was then known as Clark & Hawkins. They
were located -n the Rice hotel annex. They
sold a few cheap cars the first year, but
their principal business was gasoline en-
gines. A year later the Hawkins- Auto and
Gas Engine company was organized. The
sale of automobiles then began to increase.
Some sales of cars costing as high as $2500
were made. Each year has seen a decided
increase in the number of cars, and of the
higher priced variety, until now cars that
cost $5500 are sold, showing that people of
means in Houston know a good thing when
they see it. Mr. Hawkins states that this
season there has been sold in Houston
about $50,000 worth of automobiles by the
five dealers. Mr. Hawkins is the pioneer
dealer of Texas. He was the first dealer to
receive automobiles in carload lots. He was
also the first to sell a car above $2500 in
Houston or the State, and the only man in
Houston that ever sold a car above $5000. He
succeeded to the business of the Hawkins
Auto and Gas Engine company about the
first of the year. He has at 614 and 616
Milam street the best equipped repair shop
and garage in the State or the South. H •
also does a large business in stationary gas^
oline engines. Houston has the most and
the best equipped garages as well as the
most automobiles of any city in Texas, and
it should be so, as we have more than 100
miles of shell roads in the county.
