DIES AF TER

News was received in Atlanta We'd
nesday of the death in Washington.
D. c.. of jacques Bradley Swift, for
mer actress, whose sensational mar
riage to Charles Thomas Swift, we'll
known clubman and son of Mrs. Lena
women in the South, was followed by
her equally sensational divorce pro-
ceedings, in which an only child fig
ured prominently.
Although she had been i'll for the
past few months, her death was en-
tirely unexpected and came as a
shock to hundreds of friends. She
was extremely popular in society as
well as theatrical circles.
The first news of the death came
to Frank Pearson, whose wife, the
well known singer, was with Mrs.
Swift in Washington. 1t brought the
information that Mrs. Swift had died
in the Providence Hospital at the
Capital after an operation following
omplications attendant upon apnen=
dicitis.
Two weeks ago Mrs. Swift had re-
gained sufficient strength after a long
siege of illness to take a trip to the
Capital to visit her sister. She left in
company with Mrs. Pearson with her
baby girl, for whom she had dropped
her fight for $4,000 alimony, ac-
ceptirg $4,000 and the child instead.
Mrs. Swift as Jaques Bradley gain

charm and grace. Her marriage 70
young Swift, who proved an ardent
and irresistible wooer, stirred At
lanta society circles, and Swifts peo
pie never reconciled themselves to
the romance. The married life of the
couple turned out unhappily, and d.
vorce proceedings were begun short
ly after they had separated, with
both eager to retain possession Of a
beautiful child.
Mrs Swift sued for $50, coo alimony.
and while the suit was pending was
taken seriously i'll. She novered De
tween life and death for some weaks
at the home Of Mrs. Pearson on East
Baker street. For the sake of her
child, she finally decided to drop the
suit and accept $4,000. Her lawyer,
Luther Rosser at that time said of
the settlement:

of every charge made against that
little woman"

BROTHER ON
FIRE, BOY, 6,
IS HERO

Four-year- old Oscar Langley. son
of Mr.. and Mrs w. N. Langley, of
No. 46 Buena Vista avenue. was
frightfully burned Wednesday while
playing before an open CRATE fire. 1t
is feared he will die.
His brother Jack, only two years
older, stands out as the hero of the
tragedy.
When Oscar, screaming wildly and
wrapped In flames, ran out on the
front porch, Jack, manfully disre-
garding the burns that he himself was
receiving, seized his younger brother
in his arms carried him all the way
around the house to the back porch
and turned on the hydrant.
Mrs. Langley, attracted by Oscars
screams of agony, arrived in time to
witness Jack pouring clippers of
water on the little victim, who in a
few minutes became unconscious from
the terrible burns.
The mother had left Oscar in the
living room. The little fellows clothes
ignited from the fire and when he ran
from the house he was a sheet of
flames.
Jacks efforts were all that saved
his brother from being burned to a
crisp.
Face and Body Roasted.
His face and body were veritably
roasted, as it was. Should he live,
which the physicians regard as doubt
full, he never will have his eyesight.
Mrs. Langley called Grady Hospital
and rode in the ambulance with the
charred little body. She was pros
trated with grief.
The father, who is a patternmaker,
recently obtained employment in Ok
lahoma. He was telegraphed news of

wives, urging them to boycott all deal
ers who charge exorbitant prices.
These activities are commendable and
may result in good. But they are gen
orally based on the assumption that the
rise in price is unwarranted. Suppose
this proves not to be the case-what
then? The answer Is plain: Women
have the most effective weapon for
dealing with the situation in their own
hands. They can fight the high price
Of foods by economy. domestic efficiency
and good judgment. This Is not merely
a conventional statement. It is a preg-
nant truth. And the advantage Of this
weapon Is that, no matter whether the
increase is legal or illegal. inevitable
or preventable, the weapon remains
none the less effective. Most families
have stereotyped appetites for certain
foods and think there is nothing else
to eat. High prices admonish the
housewife to look over the list and find
other foods that are Just as good and
perhaps cheaper.
