WOMAN CONTINUES
 A LIVING DEATH
Unable to Move or Feel, She Re:
 tainS Memory

Crbana, O. Sept. B UP)-Mrs. Bessie Gillespie. 33, whose death has been momentarily expected for the last six months, continued 10 live to- lay with steel -jacketed bullet penetrating her brain,
 Vital nerve centers have been severed by the bullet which was rrred accidentally into Mrs. Giles pies head last March by her hus- uand.
 The bullet rests on the rolando Jssure. near the center of the brain md has paralyzedt he left side Of Mrs. Gillespie's body
 Mrs. Gillespie, realizing her con- .Htion. is as cheerful as i. she sui red only temporary aiineni members of her family said.
 Mrs. Gillespie finds comfort in tonyersing with her friends and sel- ion talks of her fate. Unable 10 move in her bed or even 10 take aourishment without aid she spends her time cheering those who visit her.
 We do not know how to account for her being alive" said pr. \, NJ. Rhodes, attending physician.
 The bullet is encysted, surround d by a film tissue which prevents it from moving fro mits position when Mrs. Gillespie's head is moved.
 Aside from the paralysis she seems perfectly normal and 1t IS most apparent that death, when 1t comes, will not be caused directly from the presence Of the bullet.
 An operation would have been futile, for in attempting to remove the missile more tissues would have 70 be severed and it would probab- V cause immediate death. If We were successful in removing the bul- let without causing death, it would certainly cause paralysis of more ot the body.
 Mrs. Gillespie cannot get well and we feel the best we can do Is 10 make her comfortable and let na- ture take it's course.

PROPOSED ORDINANCE ON zONING REJECTED

when he proposed that no exceptions now on the records be included in the restriction. There are so few in this category that no great harm can come from the amendment, Fay pointed out.
 Commissioner Joseph Mlynarski of the board of public works, speak ing as q taxpayer and not an inter- ested party, opposed the ordinance on the ground that 90 days does not allow a prospective builder ample time to formulate his plans. A similar opinion was expressed by J. E. Alice who entered the meet ing late. Alice entered into the dis cussion with such frequency that he was finally requested by Councilman
 Fay to allow the committee members an opportunity to concentrate on the issues without outside interference,
 his request being made after the public hearing closed.
 Corporation Counsel John H. . kirkham gave an opinion that the ordinance as proposed by the board i of adjustment would be retroactive 1 He outlined the several ways fir l which the Roche property and two l others might be excluded if such k ! the wish of the council. Councilman ! Pays proposal was then adopted. 1 A proposal that the fire limits bs
 extended was rejected. Building In. | Spcctor Rutherford and Fire Chie1 1 Noble went on record as favorins
 the present limits. Questioning bS
 members indicated the presence ot
 no one who favored the proposed 1 new bounds.
