Saves Two People
nv Associated Press.)


LUDINGTON, Mich, Aug. 23.-Mar-
garet Baker, the 17-year-old daughter of
the president of the Queen and Crescent
railroad, took her life in her hands late
yesterday at Epworth to save Mr.. and
Mrs James A. Crawford, of Little Rock,
Ark, from drowning.
The Crawfords. bathing in the surf,
were caught in the strong undertow.
They called for help. Miss Baker, a
sturdy swimmer, plunged in and tried
to direct the man and woman to safety.
They were so exhausted that they were
unable to swim, and in their excitement
they threatened to grasp Miss Baker
and take her down with them.
Eluding their frantic thrusts at her,
Miss Baker caught the Crawfords at
arms length and began "treading" wat
err. hoping that other swimmers would
come to their aid. The beach, however,
was deserted. so Miss Baker began TO
cry for help.
Finally DR.. David B. Downing. of De-
troit, was attracted by the shouts, and
he helped the trio to safety just, Miss
Baker said, as she was about to give up
hope. She lives in Cincinnati.
