LOS ANGELES, February 3.—Just how much money it takes to meet the ‘Tom Mix of the filfis is not a question which Judge Fletcher Bowron of the Superior Court cares to decide hastily. Although he declared he didn't want to “spoil anybody's child by giving her too much luxury,” Judge Bowron de- clared the sum would be sizeable enough so there should be a guardian appointed to account for its expenditure. Therefore, he delayed decision on the plea of Mrs. Olive Stokes Mix, the actor's former wife, to have the amount paid by him for his daughter’s support increased from $50 to $1,500 a month. The bill of yearly expenditures pre- sented by the mother to the court in- needs of the 16-year-old daughter of & Even Lingerie Is Printed! cluded: Dancing lessons, $1,000; vocal T $7,500 & week “horseman” in the case lessons, $1,000; piano lessons, $1,000; clothing, $4,000; and mill $1.200; rent, $2,400, and tutor, $1,200. Mix, on the witness stand, said he was “willing to do the right thing,” but that he didn't want his former wife to profit by his generosity. He thought just a little automobile—one costing about $2,000—would be good enough for Ruth Jane. He admitted he made $7,500 a week. o “ORANGE BLOSSOM SPECIAL” East Coast train leaves 3:05 p.m., Wes!
