FAIL AS ACTRESSES, TWO TRY SUICIDE Leave Note Giving Their Trials and Tribalations New York, Sept. 6.—Fallure to wln‘I success on the stage and in the films/ caused two women, one barely out of her teens, and the other just turned thirty, to attempt suicide by drinking poison yesterday. The younger, Miss Donnie Harrison of Detroit, who five days ago rented an apartment at 645 Madison avenue, ‘was unconscious when other tenants discovered smoke rolling through the transom. The girl appeared to have set fire to the bed with a lit cig- arette. In Bellevue hospital her con- dition last night was sald to be crit- fcal. A ‘letter to her mother, Mrs. Marie Harrison,, 624 Charlotte ave- nue, Detroit, described the girl as a “‘weakling,’” unable to resist ‘“dope’. She left another letter asking that her body be cremated. Was Disappointed. The other vietim told authorities at the Harlem hospital that she was Vera Maynard, a widow, living at the Hotel St. Paul, Sixtieth strezt and Columbus avenue, and a disappointed film actress. Two passing men saw the woman Zrink something from a bottle, ¢ Farewell to Mother. “This is the last night of my life. I intend to make it so. I have taken a small quantity of bromidia, but I have a four-ounce bottle of veronol to drink now and then there will be no awakening this time. I intend to take it all at once—not sip it. “I love you, darling, as much as it is possible for a poor weakling like nlyself to love. Tell Fred that I pass- €d thinking of him and loving him and baby and papa, too. You know, darling, 1 was always a sort of worry and a hindrance for you at times. For instance, the night I told Billy— I threw things. I guess I was born sort of tired. And a weakling to any vice. There isn't any way of being cured of dope. This is the easiest way out. I left Arthur (Arthur Ros- enbaum at 42 West Firty-sixth street) a letter as a last favor to a dead girl to cremate me and send you the ashes. Always, dearest of all, I love you.” Admits Being Dope Another letter, unaddressed, which must have been the girl's last effort to hold the pencil, began: -~ “Well, to start with, I am a dope. Yes, a plain dope fiend. You know— heroin. I am a girl, too, though per- haps you think I was long past that To go on with the story—you know between you and I something is just making me write this—it is the last thing I'll ever write. It really was my fault in the beginning. I mean about the dope. Gee—I was young then and sweet—oh, well, you know the kind. ‘Wanted a Career “l left my home tewn to attain something that a million other girls “pray to attain—a brilllant career on the stage. I landed in New York with $20 my parents had given ne (thinking it was mére than sufficient to hold me until T obtained work) and'a large tan (nearly red) suitcase. That was all I had to my name. I ‘wds aben 'tely a stranger, knowing little more thn nothipg about this city. All I had to guide me was a scrummy little piece of paper with the address of an alleged respectable boarding house. After just two days in the big city 1 came to realize that employ- ment is not easy to get—for a hick I also came to realize (oh, fully, too, you can bet) that $20 in New York lasts about as long as a snowball in —well, you know. Furthermore, I experienced then and there the pang To Stop Pimples Yoast Vitamines Must Be Ironized Ironized Yeast Combines the Neces- sary Body-Iron and Body-Vita- mines Which Make Skin Eruptions Vanish Absolutely ‘You can prove the remarkable re- sulte of ironized yeast ih a few days’ time.

Today his cash on hand amounts to more than $160,000,000, and to use the motor magnate's own words he ‘“can't tell within fifteen million or so” just what he has in the bank, A year ago the Ford Motor com- pany was just emerging from the worst depression In its history, and despite the offers of Wall Street bankers of millions for a loan, Ford succeeded by his own efforts in put- ting his business on its feet. He says his refusal to deal with Wall Street and banks was due to sev- eral causes. First, he says, they in- sisted that for a loan of a few million they should be allowed to name the treasurer of the company and have a volce in the manyement of the com- pany. “Again, Ford asserts, he did not need to borrow from banks, for the reason that he could see his way clear to revive his business. With the aid of experts he ascer- tained what every item was costing. He turned millions of dollars tied up in surplus material into cash by stop- ping purchases of raw materjal and or think. The struggle had apparent- ly ceased for the “weakling.” The mother of the girl, who is em- ployed as a saleswoman in the silk department of a department store in Detroit, when interviewed by a cor- respondent said: “The only reason I can possibly give for this terrible thing is that Donnie was temporarily unbalanced from fiilness. I am cer- tain there was no man mixed up in this. I know Arthur Rosenbaum. He is a good friend of hers and of mine. He was interested in Donnie as an elder brother or a father. Several times he has tried to help her find a position. There were no other men that I know of. The Fred she re- ferred to in her note to me {is he- brother, 17. The ‘Baby’ is her young- er brother, Bob, 13." Mother's Statement Mrs. Harrison insisted her daughter was not addicted to drugs. The girl had been with her most of the sum- mer. She had a small part in a musi- cal comedy that appeared last winter in & Detroit theater. Miss Bunnie Dorel, an actress, Hotel Longacre, visited the hospital and ar- ranged to put Miss Harrison in a pri- vate room. They had been children to- gether, Miss Dorel explained. A neighbor at ‘the Hotel St. Paul, where Mrs. Maynard, the other poison vietim lived, said that the disappoint- ed actress had made a previous at- tempt to take her own life. Mrs. Florence Welss, 26, committed suicide in her home, 442 West Forty- fifth street, by inhaling gas. She left a note for her husband accepting the blame for disagreements which had caused a temporary estrangement. Mrs. Lavinia Wilson, 60, was found dead in her bed from gas poisonine in the home of her danghter, Mrs. Mary Thee, 233A Monroe street, Brooklyn. Police recorded the death as acci- dental. COTTON MILLS PROGRESS Spinning Industry in China Making cent years. At present there are 69 Factories Are Busy. Tokio, Sept. 6.—According to nves- tigations carried out by the depart- ment of Agriculture and Commerce the cotton spinning industry in China has been making rapid progress in re- to 1,000,000 balec of yarn and 3,200,- spinning mills with 1,870,000 spindles and 10,800 weaving looms working. The annual output of the spinning mills in China is estimated at 800,000 to $1,000,000 bales of yarn and 3,200,- 000 yards of cotton fabrics. Besides these, 109 factories are now in course of constru~tion and when they are completed 3,700,000 additional spindles and 16,000 looms will be working China’s producing capacity of cotton will thus be increased to something like 1,700,000 bales and that of cotton fabrics to 8,000,000 yards in the course of a year or two. At present, 31 spinning mills in China are operated by Japanese, 5 by foreigners othorl than Japanese, and 109 by Chinese. It is estimated that when all the spindles now under construction are in operation the yearly consumption of raw cotton will amount to 11,000,000 piculs. SLAYER 0UT ON BAIL of Dayton, Who Marie Pcggy Beal Killed Floorwalker in Store Last June, Out. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 6.—Marie “Peggy’ Beal of Dayton who shot and killed Frank Warren Anderson, local department store floorman, on June 3rd then attempted to take her own life, is free on bond today:. Mrs. Beal appeared for arraign- ment on a charge of second degree murder in justice court yesterday and was released on $5,000 bonds signed | by her attorney, George Birmingham Her preliminary trial was set for September 16. | “‘Peggy’ Deal is alone, friendleks and without aid in the world,” Birm- | ingham told the court. “But she; wants to tell her story. Peggy Beal would rather destroy herself—wll destroy herself in fact—if she cannot be vindicated in the eyes of the pub- He.”. using what the company had. This policy holds today. It is possible to buy what is needed in the open mar- kets and transport it to the Ford fac- tories in a much shorter space of time than any other manufacturer. It is estimated that Ford Is able to keep at least $50,000,000 in his treas- ury by not buying huge quantities in advance. Mr. Ford's next step was to make a thorough study of the transporta- tion problems, and so linking his De- troit, Toledo and Ironton railroad with ship connections and New York state barge transportation that he can transport goods to the east for distribution much quicker and cheaper than others. In this way he saved many millions more by not having an enormous quantity of goods in storage here for the purpose of meeting orders. The money he thus saved was im- mediately turned back into business When depression hit the automobile world he eliminated all waste man power, He succeded in producing more automobiles than during the war period witn some 10,000 less men This item alone saved Ford more than $250,000 a week in the payroll. Ford says his success in accumulat- ing $160,000,000 cash in the last year to say nothing of paying off more than $15,000,000 in notes and debts and building additions to the company plants. is due entirely to his desire to give purchasers of Ford cars the best possible value for their money and se- curing their confldence through cheap, efficient management.
