This brother 10 away out In South
America. Now he won't speak to
me. but goes around telling things
that are not 80. / wish to know IL
all young men are alike. Can't 1
ever md one l can trust and have

DowNHEARTED. AND
DISGUISED.
Heavens! How indigo the air
is around here! Cant you see
my dear, that Fate Is being very
kind to you. as she Is to most OF
US, only we cannot understand nor
appreciate what she is trying to
do for US. This young man Is
what he is, what he can't help
being, apparently. and what he al
ways will be. Can't you see that
that letter came from South Amer
lea just for the purpose Of making
him reveal to you how small and
petty and jealous he is? You might
have gone on longer, become moro
and more fond Of him and only
found out his true nature when
your affections were 50 hopeless
ly involved that you would have
been even more hurt than you are
now.
Don't expect too much Of peo-
pie and then you won't have SO
many disappointments. Don't build
up on new acQuaintances and
don't endow the men and boys you
meet with godlike attributes. Most
Of them are just ordinary persons,
like most women are, 30 don't ask
them to be something they are
not. You've found the clay feet
and you're deeply hurt, but most
people have q streak Of clay in
them somewhere and we've just
got to take them as we find them.
Now, you perk up and let the
up" lines come back into your
face to take the place of all these
down" lines and II your eyes are
smiling, your expression cheerful,
your manner gay and your ap-
pearance we'll groomed, you're 60

in the world" some day and won

write such q blue letter.

Stocks of Relatives Included in
His Estate, Says Executor

Charles Chauncey Stillman, an ex-
ecutor under the will of James Still
man, banker, petitioned the Surrogates'
Court yesterday to have certain securi~
ties transferred from the estate of the
decedent and exempted from the pay
ment of a transfer tax. These sccuri-
ties, it was explained, were included
among the assets of Mr.. Stillman, al
though he was not actually the owner
of them
During his life Mr.. Stillman managed
the business affairs of his brother and
sisters and made investments for them
and at the time of his death he not
only had some Of their holdings in his
possession, but they also stood in his
name, although he had no equity in
them. When the transfer tax appraisal
of the estate was made these securi-
ties were included
The shares which the court was
asked to order transferred included

Blood PrOfteers
Blocked by Flower
Hospital Nurses
Girls Submit to TRANSMISSION
Free i'm Cases of Anenia
When Men Raise Prices
From S25 to SIS a Pint

For two weeks a most unusual move
ment increasing the cost of living has
been in progress at Flower Hospital,
but no word of it reached the public
until yesterday, after the student
nurses had put an end to it and kept
the price of blood for TRANSMISSION pur-
poses down to the normal of $25 pint.
There are men in New York-strong,
healthy citizens-who make an easy
living by selling their blood. Their
trade has been developing rapidly as
the blood TRANSMISSION process to save
the lives of annmic patients has come
more and more into vogue.
Until a fortnight ago they had been
willing to go on the operating table,
allow their arteries to be tapped and
the blood passed into the bodies of
their customers at $25 a pint Then
the "blood donors" as they are known,
made demand for $35 pint straight
Yesterday they raised the price to $40
for half a pint and $40 for each addi-
tional 100 cubic centimeters, which
brought the cost OF pint up to ap.
proximately $55.

in various ways lately, but in life
and-death matter of this sort it faced
the necessity of yielding, until Miss
Lillian Olga Jtdlicka, one of the stu

She called q conference of the other
students yesterday morning and, choos.
ing from among them the hcalthiest
and most robust girls, she went with
them to House Surgeon Marion Bing-
ham and announced that they consti-
tuted corps of real blood donors.
Several patients were awaiting trans
fusion operations at the time, and five
of the girls went on the operating
table at once and gave a quart Of blooo
gratis. Two hours later all five nurses
were attending a lecture.
Five more are in reserve, which
means an additional quart of healthy
young blood is available whenever it j!
required, and the money heretofore
paid will be used for other urgent pur
poses.

Marsh's
Son in Suit for
Field Millions
Offspring
of Henry Field Seeks a
Share in Income of
200, 900 Trust Fund
Hearing On in Chicago
Rich Merchants Intention
That All tissue" of Heir
Should Inherit Argued

Special Correspondence
CHICAGO. Jan. 14.-The three-year-
old son of Henry Field, grandson Of
Marshall Field and Peggy Marsh, for
mer chorus girl, began his fight to-day
through his attorney to share in the
estate of the wealthy Chicago merchant
in the Superior Court here.
Former Governor Edward F. Dunno.
appearing as counsel for the young son
OF the former actress, Henry Anthony
Marsh, said there could be no doubt
concerning the claim Of the child in
view of Marshall Fields full expressed
terms. He said the child was entitled
to two-hfths of the income from the
S5,O01OO0 trust fund established by
Marshall Field for Marshall Field I'd.
There never was will drawn with
more elaboration" said Mr.. Dunno.
Marshall Field expressly indicated
meant a son of Henry Field, and there
IS no dispute over the fact that Henry
Anthony Marsh is son of the late
Henry Field and Peggy Marsh.
All Offspring Held Protected
"In his WILL" Mr.. Dunno continued.
"Marshall Field mentions issue and
lawful issue This was done for the
purpose Of seeing that illegitimAte as
we'll as lawful issue would be provided
for"
The legal fight hinges on the inter-
probation of an article in the mer-
chants will, which provides that upon
the death of Marshall Field I'd the in
come from the fund shall be paid to
the testator's grandchildren, Marshall
3D., Henry and Gwendolyn, and be con-
|, \ L,
ing lawful ISSUE"
Henry Fields relations with the for
mer chorus girl before his marriage to
Miss Nancy Kean Perkins, of Virginia
February 7, 1917, were recognized by
the Field family when Marshall Field
Sd established a fund of 100000 for
Peggy Marsh in settlement of a con-
tract between his brother and the for
mer actress.
Boy and Mother Provided For
The Field family has been disposed
to provide for Miss Marsh and has ac-
cepted the validity of the contract but
it contends in the legal contest that
the will of Marshal Field, in providing
for Henry Fields tissue" referred tc
lawful issue"
In reference to the Field family's in
terest in Miss Marsh's welfare, Mr.
Dunno said: "There is no complaint
by the mother of Henry Anthony Marsh
of the treatment accorded her BY
Henry Field. 1t has been shown that
during his lifetime he gave her ap-
proximately $4,000, and that he prom
ised to pay her double that sum to be
used for the maintenance of thei,
child"
Details of the romance between the
Chicago merchants grandson and the
former chorus girl never have been
fully told, although Miss Marsh has
said that they, lived very happily to-
is possible that more of the story will
come to light in the present court
hearing.

On British Residents

The Order Of the Sons of st. George
at special meeting in the Hotel Nc
Alpin last night launched nation
wide campaign to induce resident Eng
lishmen in this country to become citi-
zens The membership of the order is
restricted to persons Of English birth
or descent.
1t was stated that the majority of the

America. The campaign is designed
to reach those resident Englishmen who
presided over by Walter E. Fowler,
grand president of the New York State
Order
John L. Oral, of Lowell, Mass, su-
preme grand president of the order
said that while the order was not po-
litical the majority of its members
desired the early ratification of the
peace treaty and league of nations
covenant. with or without reservations.
He urged his hearers to impress upon
the Senators of their respective states
the necessity for quick action on the
treaty.
George Tucker, of Marquette, Mich,
vice-president of the order, in speaking
ism," said: "The American of foreign
extraction who would not follow Old
Glory back to the capital Of his native
country to fight for the deathless prin-
ciples therein emblemized has fore
sworn his allegiance to the United
States and grouped himself under the
black banner Of disloyalty and treason.
"There is more anita mericanism in
America than that which the foreign
born bring here. Anti-Americanism in
the native born is more subversive and
contemplate than anti-Americanism in
the foreign born"

Liquor Becomes Hunted
Outla1U Within Fe,U Hours
Judge hnox's Decision Extending Right of Seizure
to Safety Vaults Caused Scurrying Among Rum
Owners to Get Priced Possessions Into Home

When the big hand on the City Hall
CLOCK slipped across the first minute of
this day, thoughtful drinkers and men
like William H. Anderson, of the Anti
saloon League, recalled that in Just
1orty-eight hours beverage alcohol
would become fugitive outlaw in the
united States, Alaska and the island
possessions.
Most of the drinkers at that particu
lar minute. it may be presumed,
heaved sigh and took another drink
OF cologne spirits colored to resemble
WHISKY. But Mr.. Anderson, very likely,
merely yawned and went back to sleep.
TO dream of the next century, when Jan
uary 16, or maybe January III. will he
celebrated in the United States with
all the enthusiasm now given to the
Fourth of July.
Ahere was no dreaming last night,
though, Tor the truck drivers who were
retained for important hauling iobs
late yesterday by the frantic owners of
booze kept in storage warehouses for
private drinking in the future.
The motivating influence that caused
tnese drivers to drag their horses to
thelr feet and harness them so much
eariler than usual was paper signed
yesterday afternoon by United States
District Judge John c. Knox He dis
solved temporary restraining order.
TINS restraining order had kept Colo
mel Daniel L. Porter, supervising inter
nal revenue agent here, from removing
from the Lincoln Safe Deposit Com
pany vaults a private stock of choice
wines and liquors stored there by Will
lam Street, whose name is printed on
several pages of the Directory of Di-
rectors Now, Colopel Porter could
swoop down on that stock any time
after one minute past midnight Jan
uary II, provided Mr.. Street doesn't
before then get it safely under the roof
of his home.
The Volstead act provides that alco-
hollc beverages are subject to seizure
unless kept in the home. The only way
Mr.. Volstead's law allows beverage al
cohol to be moved after one minute
past midnight Of January II is under
the escort of vanload of furniture
and permit from the state prohibition
enforcing officer. 1t means that when
householder changes his residence he
can move his stock Of booze. 1t does
not mean that a cuckoo clock carried
under one arm is an excuse to carry a
pint on the hip. 1t must be a bona fide
change of residence, according to the
