FORMER STUDENT HON0RED
DR.. Eisman Appointed Head
of New Ward in Ford
Hospital.

A former Alma College student, DR..
f. C. Eisman, will have direct charge
of the new ward which has been es-
tablished in the Ford Hospital in De-
troit,, for the care of alchoholic and
drug users and which is causing so
much favorable comment in medical
and sociological circles The plead
ings of a woman who sought a posi-
ton for her drinking husband at the
Ford plant played an important part
in the investigation by Henry Ford
which resulted in the decision to es-
tablish a ward in his hospital where
men addicted to drink and drug habits
can be cured. In the new ward in Mr..
Ford's hospital any one of his 10000
workmen and any others who desire
to be saved from booze and dope can
get assistance to the limit of its capa-
city.
DR.. Eisman who has been placed
by Mr.. Ford at the head of his new
project was a student in Alma college
for two years, going from here to the
Detroit, College of Medicine where he
graduated with honors. A photograph
of the former Alma student with a
complimentary story appeared in the

CLEANING UP ALMA HEIGHTS
Dastardly Acts Being Com
mitted on City's East Side
Attract Attention.

Certain portions of the Alma
Heights need a thorough house clean
ing. George Oliver, eighteen years
old, went to st. Louis, Sunday evening
with Lavina Chapman, aged fifteen,
and there married her. He had pre-
viously secured a license under false
pretenses, giving her age as eighteen.
When the case came up for trial at
Ithaca, Monday morning, it developed
that this mere child had been under
the power of an uncle, Lynias Chap
man, aged fifty, who had been having
improper relations with her for three
years. The young girl and her hus-
band George Oliver, were allowed to
go free and Chapman will be prose
cuted.
This case is only a fair example Of
the unmentionable things which are
going on continually amongst these
people. Many would prefer that these
things were hushed up, but it would
seem that the time had arrived when
at least the moral and legal rights of
young children are observed. Officers
George Brown and Wesley Parr who
handled this case, are working on an
other case of a similar nature.
