NOTED SUFFRAGETTEl PASSES
Campaign Ordeal Is Fatal to Mrs.
Boisseyain in Los Angeles.

Boissevain, suffrage leader, died at a
local hospital, where she had been ill
for several weeks, Saturday night
shortly before midnight.
Mrs. Boissevain was stricken sud-

this city during the recent campaign
and tainted on the platform of the
meeting. She was removed to the
hospital, and her husband and parents
rushed from New York to join her
here. Miss Vida Milholland, sister of
the noted suffragist, was with her
when she was stricken and has been in
constant attendance since that time.
Mrs. Boissevain's illness was dag
nosed as aplastic anemia, and blood
TRANSMISSION was resorted to in at
tempts to improve her condition. Her
sister, Miss Vida Milholland, twice
gave blood for this purpose, and on
four other occsaions friends submitted
to the ordeal in the hope that benefit
would result. After each TRANSMISSION
temporary Improvement was followed
by relapse. A few days ago the ply

practically no hope for Mrs. Boisse-

was thought she might recover.

"By n strange coincidence. just at
the time when motor cars and motor
boats began to use a great quantity
of gasoline, the new oil fields OF ILL.,

and we are now producing nearly
three hundred million barrels a
year. More than that, by careful re-
filming we are getting twice as much
gasoline per barrel OF crude OIL as we
used to. With all that increase,

uses Increase still faster and there IL

NOW FACING The

In lecture this week, DIR. David
Il. Day OF the bureau OF mines gave
il as his opinion that oil production
has reached its height and will now
decline. He said that the reason
why the oil-producing industry has
always been so fascinating to specu-
lators is that the oil when found
belongs, as II wild animal does. to the
man who catches it. Various courts
have now decided. according to Mr..
