 Assets for 1927 totalled s462 G05,- S4o.s1, compared with s446,496,- S63.23 in 1926. It was explained that the company's investment in other companies actually was worth con- siderably more than the $40, 0,33S,- 575 listed because of the increased value, book and market, of such holdings.
 The large reduction in inventory was referred to as "an effective safety measure" in view of the pre- vailing price conditions.

CH|LDLESS WOMAN BUYS 'S0N' AS HEIR
Prominent Detroit Society Ma. tron Struggles Child Into Home

Lansing. Mich, March (rp)- The story Of q socially prominent but childless wife who smugglel a baby into her homo. and for several years led her husband to believe that it was a son naturally born to them. was revealed today by q peti- ton filed in Ingham county circuit court.
 The petition pictured also q hus- band, for three years lavishing af- lection on his first born" and heir to q considerable fortune, and then warned by instinct alone that tn" child was not his.
 His instinct led to an inveatiGa- ton which, he claimed. uncovered his wife's plot to produce an infant that would satisfy his desire for fatherhood.
 The petition sought q decree or dering state officials to delete the record Of the birth or the child as the son of Myron Libby Boyer and Laura A. NJ. Boyer. Both are prom inent socially in Detroit.
 Boyer is the son of Joseph Boy CT, chairman Of the board of direc- tors Of the Burroughs Adding Ma chine Co. and q brother Of the late Joe Boyer, famous automobile race driver who was killed few years ago when he crashed at the Altoona. Pa, speedway.
 Mrs, Boyer before her maria ge, was Miss Laura Miller. of Kansas City. Mo,
 Deceived Husband
 The petition charges that Mrs. Boyer deceived her husband by tell ing him that q child was to be born 10 them, and. finally, by offering the smuggled infant as the son born to her in the few hours during which she had sent him out on an er- rand.
 Actually. the bill stated. the child was purchased for q considerable sum from a woman in Hotel Dieu, a Windsor, Ont, hospital, brought across the Detroit river and held in readiness for the consummation Of the scheme attributed 10 Mrs. Boy CT.
 The latter. it was charged, had legally adopted the child under Canadian law before bringing it across the border. The child was the son of a woman named Howart h. The father was unknown. according to the petition.
 If the record is expunged as ask ed. the "son," now four years old. cannot benefit under the trust es- tablished by Joseph Boyer for q grandson. The amount of the trust was not revealed, but Boyer's for tune is estimated at several million dollars.
 COnfcSSeS Plot
 Mrs. Boyer vas said to have con- feSsed authorship of the plot when confronted with proofs uncovered by detectives employed by Boyer and his father. She was said also to have attached 10 her will letter addressed to Joseph Boyer, Michi- gan," informing the latter of the facts of his birth so that he could make no claim to the Boyer mill lions,
