Detroit Woman Is War
Nurse in France
Aids Artists

A letter was received In Detroit
this week from Mrs. Frances Whit
ton, who left the city six weeks ago
TO do relief work in France. She
was assigned a post at the Amer
lean ambulance in Nsuilly. sur-le-
Seine. an ambulance being a sol
diers' hospital. Here she has
charge OF ten wounded soldiers, be-
sides aiding az far as possible refu-
sees and impoverished French peo
Gle, among whom are many artists.
Mrs. whitton is q proficient French
scholar which Is OF great value to
her In her work.
"The suffering IL terrible" she
writes. but | am able TO relieve II
somewhat in many little ways. am
ON my feet 10 hours q day but hope
TO be transferred to . post OF still
greater opportunity.
"Just now we are expecting q raid
from Zeppelins. as they have at
tempted It at this spot twice before.
II Is thought that they will drop
bombs filled with asphyxiating gag
and nurses are supplied with masks
TO protect themselves and their pa
tients. AT given signal we are to
adjust packs Of wadded gauxe, sat
urated with some solution. over our
noses and mouths and, on top OF
this. fasten a mask made OF mica. II
we are able to breathe long enough
through this, one may live. but any
enc who breathes a biz Of this gas
and lives never has normal respira,
ton again"
Although prices for foodstuffs are
exorbitant, she says that owing to
no demand for board and lodging by
tourists she was able to get both for
a little over six francs a day.

son will draw one. The name
picked out will give that mag
nate the purchase.
Then no magnate could outoid the
other, as the owner who Is 10 sell
will name the price and hrst II must
be accepted by President Johnson.

ure is too high then he VIII knock

In this way Grifith argues that
the players will not get an exag-
gerated idea OF their value. as they
do under present conditions when
fortunes are paid for their transfer
from one team TO another.
Purchases in the American league
Of recent years have been made by
the White Sox and Red Sox more
than the other magnates. largely
because Comiskey and Lannin have
the ready money.
There was spirited bidding for
Collins, with the seven magnates
increasing offers. The top price
though was $4,000. from Comiskey.

the roads charter. granted in 1907,
calls for a two-cent passenger rate.
Assuming that upon a suitable show
ing, the consolidated ortgage hold
ers would be entitled TO complain OF
a passenger rate found in fact TO be
confscatory. the opinion states that
because the consolidated mortgage
is about to be foreclosed by the fed
eral court. the rights and character
OF the security have been entirely
changed.
To obtain the injunction sought,
the bondholders must prove the
mortgage sale will not realize
enough to pay in full the bondhold-
ers, and also that a higher rate OF
fare would benefit directly the hold
ers OF securities. The opinion is
given by Circuit Judges Loyal E.
Knappen and Arthur c. Denison. and
District Judge o. W. Sessions.

was going to kill herself and her
boy, II somebody did not take some
action that would relieve her sad

She explained that her husband,
Joseph Balkin. had left her two
weeks ago, and she had no idea
where he had gone. She said his
father, Sam Balkin. was rich. and
lived at No. 80 Catherine-st. here.
but would do nothing for her or her
baby. She also said that her own
brother. living at No. 24l Hastings
st., had told her that he could not
take care of her any longer. and she
would have to shift for herself.
She declared the poor commission
would not help her, and even the
Jewish charities would give her no
aid.

over $4,000 to Connie Mack for the
prize. But listen to plan proposed
by Clark Grifiith:
When a club wants TO dispose
OF a player his name will be
sent to President Johnson.
Each magnate will be informed
that the player is on the market
and the club owner wanting to
